Prolouge

Months have passed yet I'm still here. Who would ever thought that I could withstand the storm for this long.

Tears just shed in my eye. Seeing stars. I wish I could escape all of this, but it's too late. I know it's too late

The Beast's Wife

"Miss Devyn ready na po ang hapunan" sabi ni Yaya Tere. our maid.

"Sige po Manang, susunod na lang po ako" I said shutting down my laptop. Bababa na sana ako nang biglang mag-ring ang cellphone ko. It's Kye

"Kye!" I excitingly said. I know that he has a good news about Hermionee. My sister

"Kye?" I repeated kasi walang sumasagot sa kabilang linya. My heart starts to beat fast and nervous is already destroying me. Alam kong kapag hindi siya nagsalita sa unang tawag mo ay may masamang balita.

"D-Devyn" I can feel the panic in his voice.

"Kye, tell me what it is" pinilit kong hindi mautal at maging kalmado ang boses ko.

"S-Si Her-mionee"

"What about h-her"

"She's in the hospital. She's p-pregnant"

"What!?"

Agad kong kinuha lahat ng gamit ko at nagbihis dahil naka-pajamas lang ako.

I rapidly get downstairs and tell Manang that I'm in a hurry. I quickly get my keys and slam the door.

Nasa ospital na ako, St. Portland's Hospital. Hinanap ko agad ang room ni Hermionee.

"Herm-mion-huh-nee" hingal na hingal kong sabi dahil sira ang elevator. 7th floor lang naman po ito.

"Tulog pa siya" ani Mama.

Pinaupo niya muna ako sa sofa at kumuha ng bottled water.

"Ma, anong nangyari?"

Mom said that she also don't know what happened. She just received a call from Kye and instantly go to the hospital. Ma also told me that Kye went out to buy food.

Later on, I realized that I forgot to call Caeden.

I just dialed his numbered but no one is answering the phone. Where is he?

Instead, I called Manang to check if his already home.

"Manang, nandyan na po ba si Caeden?"

"Naku hija wala pa"

"Ok sige po. Baka po bukas na po ako makauwi ahh"

"Walang problema, narito naman si Amanda"

"Salamat Manang, bye!"

"O siya mag-ingat ka diyan. Bukas ko na lang uusisain yan"

Dumating na rin si Kye.

(*0*)

Hinablot ko agad yung pagkain tapos linapang! Rhawrrr! Yummy!

"Kahit kailan talgang bata ka pagdating sa sorbetes g na g ka haha"

Bigla akong nabulunan sa sinabi ni Mama. Gen Z

"Haha Ate Devyn una na ako. Urgent. Siya na lang po tanungin niyo" tumango na lang ako at tuluyan na siyang umalis.

Nakita ko namang naka-idlip na si Mama kaya ako na lang ang umalis at pinahiga siya sa sofa.

Nakaramdam na rin ako ng antok ngunit bago pa ako makatulog ay nag-ring ang phone ko. hindi ko na pinagkaabalhang basahin dahil medyo sleepy na ako.

"Hello" malmaya kong sabi.

"Devyn!"

Biglang nagising ang tulog kong diwa, nadilat ang mapikit-pikit kong mga mata.

"C-Caeden"

"Come. Home." mariing sabi niya.

"May urgent kasi..."

"I said home!"

Naramdaman ko na lang ang takot na nababalot sa buong katawan ko. I always felt this way. Scared. Always.

"Y-Y-Yes"

Kahit labag sa loob ko ay kinuha ko na ang gamit at akmang gigisingin na si Mama nang makita kong gising na si Hermionee.

"Hermionee!" medyo malaks na sabi ko.

I forgot all things when I just see my sister in good condition.

Niyakap ko siya ng mahigpit at ibinalik niya naman iyon.

"Ayos ka lang ba? Tatawagin ko muna si Doc" sabi ni Mama.

"Hermionee ayos ka lang may masakit ba sayo?"

"Ayos lang ako sorry ate"

"Darating tayo diyan but for now I just want you to be okay first. But, I just have to go"

"Okay lang ate. I know na kailangang kailangan talga yan."

Dumating na si Mama at tsaka si Doc. Sinabi ko na siya muna bahala kay Hermionee at may pupuntahan lang ako.

Nandito na ako sa bahay. Nervously, I opened the door and he was there waiting for me.

"Where have you been?" he said calmly but I know deep inside his burning angry.

"To the hospi..."

He slapped me.

Again, one by one my tears just fell in my eye.

I choose not to tell anyone what he is doing on me. Stupid but it's the right thing.

Natatakot ako na kung anong gawin niya sa mga mahal ko kapag tumakad ako.

Masyado siyang malakas at wala akong laban.

Why did I end up like this?

Why did I marry a beast?
