Pagod na si Xander sa dobleng buhay niya. Pagod na siya sa bawat gabing uuwi siyang nangangamoy ng ibang babae, at hindi man lang mayakap ang babaeng mahal niya. Pagod na siyang tugunan ang bawat halik sa labi ng babaeng hindi niya asawa.
Pagod na siyang . . . matulog mag-isa.Pero kailangan, handa siyang magtiis.
Hanggang kailan, Noleen?
For the past month, he had to play with temptation. Bawat gabi, malapit na siyang mapahamak kasama ng mga nagiging 'girlfriends' niya. He was a healthy man in his twenties—a man with urges! Goddamnit! In his arms were different girls, all of them were beauties. Siyempre ito ang mga taste ng kuya niya but he never gave in. Because for him, he could only give in with his wife.
Kahit sandali, gusto niyang makasama ang asawa. Kaya kahit anong pagkakataon, pinapatulan niya.
Naalala niya nang nasalubong niya ang isang kasambahay sa labas ng kwarto ni Noleen, dala nito ang mga nakatuping labahin ng asawa. He offered to do it and asked the maid to leave.
He will do anything just to be with her, to see her, smell her scent, hear her voice.
Pagpasok ni Xander sa kwarto nito, nadismaya siya nang makitang wala si Noleen. Papalabas na sana siya nang bigla niyang marinig ang pagkanta nito.
He caught his breath the moment he heard her voice.
Noleen may not sound perfect to an expert's ear, but to him, it was too good. She would only sing the chorus of the song then will start humming the rest. Paulit-ulit.
Pero hindi nagsawa si Xander.
Ilang beses niyang naabutan na gano'n ang ginagawa ni Noleen. He was unashamed to admit that he would often sneak into her room just to listen to her sing because being with her during breakfast was not enough.
He even recorded her voice, kahit na medyo malabo at mahina ito.
Dahil meron sa kanta, at sa pagkanta ng asawa, na kumukuha ng loob ni Xander. May kung anong ibig sabihin ito para sa kanya.
One time, he found himself whispering through the bathroom door. "Wife . . . come back to me . . ."
He would do anything, to have her again.
Kaya, sisikat siya. Sisikat siya para sa asawa.

Bago magsimula ang audition na kanyang sinalihan para sa isang commercial, nakita ni Xander ang makahulugang ngiti ng asawa nang sabihin nitong, "Kilala ko 'yong isa sa mga judge."
Napayuko siya nang makitang isinuklay ni Noleen ang kamay sa buhok nito.
"Noleen, I don't like what you're planning."
"Sabi ko lang kilala ko 'yong judge. Anong masama?" pagsusuplada nito.
Napailing siya at muling tumingin kay Noleen. Nang mapansin nitong nakatingin siya, muli niyang itinuon ang mga mata sa sahig.
