Runaway Wife (Varsity Boys Series #1)

Chapter 17

Sariwa pa saakin ang gabing iyon. Ang gabing may nangyari saamin. Sya ang nakakuha saakin. Pero kinabukasan noon, nagalit sya. Sinabihan nya ako ng mga masasakit na salita.

Yung mga alaalang iyon, sariwang-sariwa pa rin saakin. Nagalit sya dahil nahuli kami ng girlfriend nya na nakahiga sa iisang kama at walang saplot ni isa. Ariza said a lot of hurtful words to me and I regret that I expected Cloud to defend me. But he didn't. Instead of defending me, he looked at me so angrily like he was blaming for what happened before running after Ariza.

I was at lost that time and also the same time that I chose to give up everything. I gave up my love for him. I gave up fighting for him. I gave up proving myself because he never sees me like how he sees his girl. Whenever he's looking at me and how he is looking at Ariza, it's different. He looks at her with full of love. While me? He looks at me like I was just nothing but his wife on papers.

I sneaked inside our house and take my savings and some of my clothes. I didn't tell my parents about me leaving the country. Hindi ako nakapagpaalam ng maayos dahil gustong gusto ko na talagang umalis. I was so broke that time that I can't even bid my goodbye's properly to my parents and closest friends.

Before the night I was set to fly to Alaska, I went to his house and found him sleeping peacefully on his living room's sofa. Tears were visible in his closed eyes. He cried because I ruined them. He cried because Ariza probably left him.

For the last time, I gave him my last kiss that night. The last hug and the last 'I love you' before leaving.

Nagpunta ako dito sa Alaska para magsimula ulit when I found out that I am pregnant. Hindi ko alam ang gagawin ko that time dahil wala akong kakilala dito at mas lalong wala akong trabaho at sapat na pera para mabuhay. But It never comes to my mind about aborting my baby. God knows how happy I am when I found out that I am bearing his child. I maybe mad at him but I am still thankful because he gave me my baby. My Clifford.

I already rejected Blake when he asked for my permission if he can court me. He said it's okay but he's a little bit hurt. He said he really likes me but I don't think I'm ready for a relationship and the fact that I'm still married to him. Ayaw kong mangabit. Ayaw kong gawing kabit si Blake. He's a dearest friend of mine. He's important and I was guilty for breaking him.

Cloud never cheated on me. He cheated on Ariza by not saying the truth that he is married. Noong araw na 'yon na tinanong ni Ariza si Cloud kung totoo bang kasala kami... Sya mismo ang nagsabi na ginawa syang kabit ni Cloud. Nasaktan ako para kay Ariza dahil napaka-unfair sakanya.

Hindi lang ako ang nasaktan saamin. Kaming tatlo... Pare-pareho lang kaming nasaktan dahil sa pag-ibig.

Mahal ko si Cloud pero nagmamahalan sila ni Ariza. Pumasok ako sa eksena at nagpakasal sakanya at alam kong nasaktan si Cloud dahil doon dahil alam nyang masasaktan nya si Ariza kapag nalaman nito.

Ayaw nyang masaktan ang babaeng mahal nya kaya pinili nyang itago pero nagkamali sya dahil mas lalo lang nasaktan si Ariza dahil sa pagsisinungaling nya at inisip ni Ariza na ginawa syang kabit ni Cloud dahil ako ang legal. Pero para saakin... Ako ang kabit... Ako ang kabit na hindi nya ginusto.

Ako ang may kasalanan ng lahat kaya kami nagkaganito. Kaya kami nasasaktan ng ganito... Siguro kung tumanggi ako roon sa kasal ay masaya sya ngayon. Walang problema sa relasyon nila. Kung sana ay hindi ako umeksena ay hindi din sana ako nasasaktan ngayon. Hindi sana kami nasasaktan ngayon.

"Clifford!" I called my three years old son. Napakamot ako sa ulo ko nang hindi ko sya makita sa may sala. Ang kulit talaga ng batang iyon!
