"What's going on?" I heard mom said.

I take my headphones off and glance at her. I saw her looking at the wind shield. I followed her glances and there I saw a man trying to get free from the grips of our bodyguards. "What is he doing here?" Dad murmured. He sighed. "I'll talk to him. Get the car inside." He said to the driver and the latter nods his head. He looked at me for a sec before turning his head to mom. "Ikaw muna bahala sa anak natin."

When the guards saw my dad, agad nilang pinakawalan sa pagkakahawak si Adrian. Oh my God, it's Adrian. Anong gagawin niya dito? Hanggang dito susundan pa rin niya ko. I felt my moms soft hands on mine. She gave me a reassuring smile like she won't let anyone do bad things to me ever again.

Agad kaming nakapasok sa loob ng mansyon. Adrian tried to come near our moving car pero bantay sarado siya ng mga guards pati na rin si dad.

We stayed at the living area waiting for daddy. We just get home from the clinic. They believe that I'm in trauma dahil gabi-gabi ako kung bangungutin at kanina lang din nila ako na-convince na magpa-check-up.

45 days ago my best friend died because of cancer. On the tenth day after my best friend died, a girl named Dimple came into our lives once again saying that she was pregnant and the father is my husband. 32 days later after learning that he cheated on me and after hiding about it, he finally knows about it- about his mistress's pregnancy and on the night of that same day, he sexually harassed me, he sexually assaulted me, he raped me.

Hindi pa nga ako nakaka-recover sa pagkawala ni Ken, panibagong dagok nanaman. Akala ko ang pagkawala niya at ang pag graduate namin ng hindi kumpleto na ang pinaka masakit, but God slapped me with this trial.

I believe in him, but do I need to experience this first before becoming successful? Maybe, just like what he planned for Oprah Winfrey's life.

I was back to my senses when I heard how Dad slammed the front door. He's fuming in anger. Namumula na rin kasi ang kaniyang buong mukha. Agad naman siyang dinaluhan ni mommy, "What happened?" Tanong nito kay Dad.

Napahilamos ng mukha si daddy, "He wants to get Sharene back..."

"What? Ano, pumayag ka naman?" Galit na tanong ni mommy. Agad namang umiling si daddy at inutusuan ang isang katulong na kumuha ng tubig. "No! Pagkatapos ng ginawa niya sa anak natin?" Sabi nito sakto naman na dumating na rin ang kasambahay dala ang isang tray kung nasaan ang isang baso ng tubig ni Dad. "I'll call Attorney Hidalgo, kung kailangan kong takutin si Adrian gagawin ko, tigilan niya lang si Sharene."

Tulala lang ako sa kwarto. Kanina pa nag-uusap sila mommy at daddy kasama si attorney Hidalgo sa study room ni dad. I want justice too, but is this the only way to get that?

Ang gulo. Nakakainis, ako na ang kawawa pero dahil sa lintik kong pagmamahal sa tao na iyon, naiisip kong huwag na lang siyang sampahan ng kaso at hayaan na lang kasama ni Dimple at ng magiging anak nila.

Ganito ba talaga kapag nagmamahal?

Bukod sa nasasaktan ka na, nagiging selfless ka pa na inuuna mo pa ang kapakanan nila kaysa sa'yo. Damn, love.

My phone buzzed. It's a messenger notification and it's a message from my girls. We have a separate group chat na for girls lang. You know girls and secrets and gossips.
