MY HUSBAND IMPREGNATED HIS EX

My marriage life with my husband was an epitome of perfection, they say. Jax and I have been married for three years and I could say that he's a man of words and action. He's a man full of respect and values within him. And I wasn't only the one who had noticed it but also the people around me.

"Swerte mo kay Jax, anak." My mom always told me such phrase like a broken record and my circle of friends also had the same take with Jax's overwhelming personality.

They always reminded me that I should treasure my husband at all cost because a real man like him is so hard to find nowadays. And of course, I felt proud of my husband because he was fully accepted by my family and friends.

Our relationship was full of bliss not until...

"Ma'am, pumunta pala dito si Ma'am Angela at pumasok po siya sa kuwarto ni Sir Jax," sumbong ni Nanay Norma, ang loyal kong kasambahay nang makauwi ako galing sa trabaho.

Biglang nangunot ang mukha ko. Anong ginagawa ni Angela dito?

"Nandito ba si Sir mo no'ng dumating si Angela?" I swallowed hard after I spoke.

"H-Hindi ko po alam, Ma'am. Ang sabi niya kasi ay may kukunin lang siyang papeles sa kwarto ni Sir," tanging tugon ni Nanay Norma.

Angela is my husband's ex and they are both working on the same company. Matagal na silang wala ni Jax kaya wala na akong dapat na ikabahala pa.

I know that Jax loves me beyond anyone else. I can see it whenever he stares at me, I can feel it the way he hugged and kissed me. And even in his small gestures, I know that he's head over heels with me.

That's why, there's no room for me to doubt and question his love for me. His action and what he made me feel were enough reasons to trust him.

But it seems like the destiny really loves to test our relationship until everything went upside down.

"I-I'm pregnant, Mica..."

After four months of Angela entering our house, she brought me the news that made my whole world collapsed.

"N-No..." I shook my head violently. "If you'd think that you can shatter my trust for Jax with that pathetic dreams of yours, stop it! My love for my husband is much stronger than your delusions!"

"Do you think this is just a delusion, Mica?!" singhal niya sa mahinang boses. We were on the restaurant right now and I understood why she kept her voice low and steady.

"I am pregnant and your husband is the father of my baby, Mica.."

There, she started crying and I could picture a mother who's fighting for her rights. Bigla akong nanghina. Pero hindi ko pinakita 'yon.

"Ipaubaya mo na sa akin ang asawa mo, Mica please. Me and my baby needs him! Please don't make this situation hard for us, please... nagmamakaawa ako," hikbi niya.

Mas lalo akong nadurog sa mga sinabi niya. Nagsimulang manginig ang tuhod ko sa ilalim ng mesa at ramdam ko ang pangangatal ng aking labi.

"If you are still not convince... ito! Tignan mo sa dalawang mata mo ang resulta ng DNA test. Tignan mo ang ebidensiya ng pagtataksil ng asawa mo!"

Nanginginig ang mga kamay kong tinanggap ang papel. And there, Angela wasn't indeed fabricating lies. Jax's blood was perfectly matched to the baby's DNA.

Unti-unting bumuhos ang mga luha ko. Pakiramdam ko'y nawasak lahat sa isang iglap ang pagmamahal na ibinuhos ko, ang buhay na pinaghirapan ko at ang pamilyang binuo ko.

"You have no reasons to hold on to, Mica. The love that you've been fighting for isn't worth the fight anymore!" singhal niya.

Hindi ko na siya pinansin at dali-dali akong umalis ng restaurant dala-dala ang DNA paper. Nang makauwi ako ng bahay ay agad kong sinampal ang papel sa dibdib ni Jax.

And right there, the heavy emotions that I have been holding on for too long has finally exploded.

"HOW DARE YOU DO THIS TO ME, JAX!" sigaw ko habang sinusuntok ang dibdib niya.

"YOU LIED TO ME! YOU FUCKING BETRAYED ME!"

Sigaw lamang ako ng sigaw just to release all the pain inside my chest. Sobrang sakit tangina!

"Hey, babe. W-What the hell is going on?"

"Binuntis mo ang ex mo, Jax ! Tangina lang!" Mahina akong natawa sa sobrang sakit.

"W-What? N-No! Walang nangyari sa amin ni Angela for pete's sake, Mica! Ganiyan ba talaga ang tingin mo sa akin?" he asked helplessly.

"Do you think I can do that to you?" basag ang boses niya at napatingin sa akin.

"Akala ko ba may tiwala ka sa akin?"

"How can I trust you when your ex had an evidence? Pwede ba, Jax? I don't wanna hear another stack of lies from you just to save me from falling apart!" sigaw ko habang umiiyak.

Umiwas lamang siya ng tingin sa akin pero hindi nakaligtas sa paningin ko ang mga luhang lumabas sa mata niya.

"I will conduct another DNA test just to prove that Angela is lying! **** that bitch!" singhal niya.

And we conducted another DNA in different hospitals pero lahat sila ay may iisang resulta.

Jax is indeed the father of Angela's baby.

And I think that's already enough reason for me to let go and to surrender the love that I couldn't have.

Upon reaching my family's home, they were all disappointed upon knowing what happened. They despised Jax a lot. Parang papatayin na nga ng mga kuya ko si Jax pero mabuti na lang ay hindi na ito nagpakita sa amin.

Years after, I thought I was finally healed from all the pain Jax inflicted to me but I was wrong. Nang matanggap ko ang liham ni Angela ay biglang nanumbalik lahat ng sakit sa puso ko.

"To the woman who owned Jax's heart,

Hey Mica, you hate me, I know and you always will but I wished I could talk with you at a bar and I could explain to you what happened. Do you remember when I came into your house that day and sneaked into Jax's room? Yes, Manang Norma was right. I went to Jax's room to get the office papers. Messy sheets and used condoms were all scattered on the floor that time. And to my desperation, dinampot ko ang condom na ginamit niya. I took out a syringe without a needle from my pocket and unknot the condom. I then filled the syringe up with his semen and injected it to my ginetals. Years of studying medicine, I knew how to execute the in vitro fertilisation.

Yes, we didn't have sex, Mica. It was an in vitro fertilization why I got pregnant, not through sexual intercourse. I was so freaking desperate to ruin your relationship at inisip ko na baka kapag magka-anak kami ni Jax ay matutunan niya rin akong mahalin but I was wrong. His loyalty to you remained strong even if you questioned his love at the end.

I want you to know that Jax never cheated on you, Mica. You don't know how faithful he was even when you are not around. Palagi ko siyang nilalandi sa office but he never dared to flirt back. He really loves you. Your husband loves you so much! And I envied you for that, to the point that I became so selfish and desperate.

Sinira ko ang relasiyon niyo. At sinira ko rin ang buhay ni Jax.

Umuwi siya sa mama niya at nagpapadala lang siya ng pera para sa anak namin. He was so devastated of what happened, Mica. He caged inside his room and starved himself and just cried and cried.

And his life became more devastating when his mother died due to heart failure. Ang taong tanging kinakapitan niya ay sinukuan na rin siya.

And after a week of his mom's burial, nabalitaan kong sumama na rin si Jax sa mama niya. He ended his life by hanging himself, Mica. At hanggang ngayon, hindi pa rin ako pinapatulog ng konsensiya ko.

Ang sama-sama kong tao. Pinatay ko ang lalaking mahal ko na pilit kong inaangkin at inagaw sa 'yo.

I'm really sorry, Mic. Im so sorry. Alam kong hindi mo ako mapapatawad pag mabasa mo ito and I understand you. Hindi lang kasi ang relasiyon niyo ang sinira ko. Sinira ko rin ang kasiyahan na dapat para sa inyong dalawa ni Jax. Sana mapatawad mo ako sa kabila nang lahat.

You can still visit Jax's daughter by the way. He named the baby after your name, Mica. At kamukhang-kamukha niya ang papa niya. For sure 'pag makita mo si Baby Mica, makikita mo rin ang mukha ni Jax.

Baby Mica is looking forward to see you, Mics. I hope you'd make it possible.

Yours truly,

Angela. "

Tuluyan nang bumuhos ang mga luha ko. Hindi ako makahinga. Nanghahapdi ang lalamunan at dibdib ko.

Maybe this is our fate— to love each other separately.

Me on earth.

And him on heaven.
