The Wife's Comeback Chapter 60: His Past (Part 1)
Chapter 60His Past (Part 1)“You ranked first, but this is not enough,” Papa told me, one time in my last year in high school, when I showed him my report card.I came into his office thinking that when I‘d brought him the good news, he‘d finally allow me to have culinary classes again. That was my only hope.But then, as per his very words...It’s still not enough.“What do you mean?“ mahina kong tanong nang tanggapin ko ang binalik niyang report card.My grades were high. I never had any eight or seven. Only nines and even a hundred.Why does he keep on underestimating my hard-earned efforts?“That’s still insufficient for you to be accepted in Harvard,“ he answered as if it was too simple to do.My lips parted. I was rendered speechless.I only... wanted one thing. To take culinary classes. I loved cooking. I loved the feeling of being able to serve people with delicious food. It’s... something that not all men in my league aspires to do, but I do.I can always breathe as long as
The Wife's Comeback Chapter 61: His Past (Part 2)
Chapter 61His Past (Part 2)“What’s that? Pampalubag loob mo?” Larisse asked sternly and coldly after I handed over her a bouquet of flowers and chocolates.I kept a small smile, still. She can really be difficult at times, but I can understand. We’re each other’s reflection. We are so alike.Two people sharing the same dilemma. Their parents.Maybe that’s what prolly gravitated us towards each other.“Please, accept this?” I said softly, cajoling her, “I made the chocolates by myself.”Mabilis na nagbago ang seryoso niyang ekspresyon. Her face softened. Lumawak ang ngiti ko. She then finally accepted the flowers and chocolates.She straightened out her arms, offering a hug. Ngumiti ako niyakap siya. “It’s your fault, but apology accepted.”Napawi nang kaunti ang ngiti ko. I remembered why we ended up breaking up weeks ago. Nagselos siya sa babaeng lumapit sa ‘kin para kausapin ako saglit.Lara she couldn’t control her jealousy sometimes that it gave me thoughts. If this is really w
The Wife's Comeback Prologue
The gloomy and raging clouds thundered as the rain poured heavy liquids of both misery and punishment. Ang mga patak na sumusugat sa lupa ay apektado rin ako. I hugged myself not because of the cold, but because I have no one's arms to shelter me against the darkness anymore. "Let me explain my side," his voice croaked. Marahang dumulas ang mainit na luha sa aking pisngi, hanggang sa sunod-sunod na ang mga patak na nakikihalubilo sa malakas na bugso ng ulan. "W-What else is there to discuss? Alam ko na ang totoo..." Laking ginhawa ko nang maitawid ko iyon nang maayos. He took a step forward. Pumikit ako nang mariin. No, Rigella. These are all lies. Even from the very beginning. They are all a fraud. "Please..." Nagmulat ako. "Ang kapal ng mukha mo!" Blood came rushing through my veins. I watched him painfully setting his eyes on me. Only on me. Sa tagal na pinangarap ko 'to, bakit parang ngayon, hindi ko maramdaman ang tuwa? Bakit pang-ilang libong saksak ang hatid niyon sa puso
The Wife's Comeback Chapter 1: Compensation
Chapter 1 Compensation "I knew it. Dito lang talaga kita makikita," irap ni Roxanne sabay tabi sa akin dito sa bleachers. I smiled coyly. Binalik ko ang tingin sa mga players na ngayo'y nagkakatuwaan abala sa kanilang practice game. As far as I know, they're about to compete with their rival team that they recently knocked down last championship. Siguro, naghamon ang kabilang eskuwelahan na iyon para sa isa pang laro kaya pinaghahandaan ulit nila. "Ivan plays so gracefully, right?" I commented dreamily. Sinalo ko ang aking baba gamit ang aking palad. Nakatukod ang aking siko sa aking kandungan. I probably look like some teenager lost in her daydreams but I cannot deny what I feel. Sa kaniya lang ako nakatingin habang siya, nakangiti kapag nakaka-shoot ng bola sa ring. "Hay, Ivan De Leon. Nakuha mo 'tong lukaret na 'to sa mga pagpapa-pogi mo." Si Roxanne. Ngumuso ako at bumaling sa kaniya. "He's genuine kaya. The last time, he volunteered to cook for the university's charity even
The Wife's Comeback Chapter 2: Ruin
Chapter 2 Ruin Daddy is the owner of the most successful clothing company in the country. May iba't iba pang branch ang Crisostomo Clothings Inc. overseas pero ang flagship ng korporasyon ay nandito sa Pilipinas. Our company is also known to be the best tandem alongside with De Leon Textiles, my husband's inherited company. Our marriage strengthened not only our image in the sociedad but also our company's partnership. Malaking benefit ang nakuha ni Ivan kay Daddy at ganoon din si Daddy sa kaniya. They are even usually the talk of the town whenever there's a release of new designs under their partnership line. I'd say their collective successes produce continuous breakthroughs and their tandem takes the fashion industry by storm. "We're about to go home, hija," Mommy informed over the line. I halted on my tracks when it reached my ears. Naiwan ang isa kong kamay sa straps ng stilettos. I decided to just wear the shoes Ivan gave me since it's a perfect match with my royal blue ruff
The Wife's Comeback Chapter 3: Bleed
Chapter 3 Bleed When was the last time that I was unadulteratedly happy? Hindi ko na rin alam. Small and big things make me happy, but they are not enough to fill the emptiness I have inside. Nagtatalo ang tama at mali sa utak ko sa tuwing nakakaramdam ako ng ganito. Malungkot. Nasasaktan. At halos wala nang makitang lagusan para tumakas. Tahimik akong sumimsim ng tubig. After that heated scene, I was able to stand up and fix myself. Hindi lang dahil may paparating kundi dahil alam ko rin na kung doon lang ako nang matagal at magmumukmok, hindi ako makakausad. Besides, I have been experiencing the same thing for almost eight years. Truth be told, I sometimes get tired of our setup. Ang paulit-ulit na pagbabayad sa danyos na oo, ako nga ang gumawa. Pero ang mga bagay na hindi naman ako ang salarin pero ako ang sinisisi niya, I think it's unfair. But what can I do, right? Even if my heart is not this forgiving, I know I'd still bring myself to understand and forgive him. Pasasaan p
The Wife's Comeback Chapter 4: Surprise
Chapter 4Surprise"Salamat, Marilyn." Ngumiti ko sa dalaga."Naku, wala pong kaso, Ate. Magpapahinga na rin po 'ko," kimi niyang paalam niya."Sige, salamat, ha. Saka, pasensya ka na rin sa nangyari..."Napakamot siya. "Okay lang po talaga, Ate. Naipasok ko naman po agad si Ice sa kuwarto."Huminga ako nang malalim. "Salamat. Sige, mauna ka na. Ako nang bahala..."Nginitian niya ako bago nilisan ang kuwarto ni Izen Cedric. It was a good thing she automatically thought of my son after assisting the other maids. Bumaling ako sa aking anak na nakatitig sa akin sa namumungay na mga mata. I sat beside him on the bed."Sleep, anak," I told him and patted him lightly on his shoulder.Sa huling sulyap ko sa timepiece, pasado ala una y media na nang madaling araw. Like what I expected, Ice heard the commotion downstairs but unlike the first time he's experienced it, he's calm but curious."May pasok ka pa bukas, 'nak. Sleep ka na," paalala ko."Did Papa drink alcohol, Mama?" tanong niya na nag
The Wife's Comeback Chapter 5: Hopeless
Chapter 5HopelessI hugged my legs and put my chin on my knees. Nakapatong ang mga paa ko sa bench habang nanonood sa pagragasa ng tubig sa fountain sa aming harapan. The cold wind brushed my numbed skin and I immediately felt the chills."So, they're still together," Seymour concluded after our long conversation about my husband."Hmm," tipid kong tugon.Nakita kong sinulyapan niya ako mula sa napako niyang tingin sa fountain. He let out a sigh. Binaba niya ang mga binti ko sa sahig. He looked a bit annoyed."You're in a dress, Rigella," strictness stained his tone.I didn't heed on it. "Sa tingin mo ba, masama ba 'kong tao? Kung... masama ako, 'di ba dapat natutuwa ako sa paghihirap ng iba? Pero bakit ako nasasaktan?""Hindi ka masama." Tumingala siya. "Biktima ka lang din. Nasasaktan lang naman ang tao kasi kapag nagmamahal sila, gusto nilang lahat ng magagandang bagay, nakukuha ng mahal nila kahit na ano pang hirap ang maranasan nila. O 'di naman kaya, talagang nasasaktan lang si
