McCristaufer Clarence Sanchez
"Where have you been?!" His wife started the moment he step out of his car.
Nothing's new, the scenarios just keep on rewinding every night, he thought.
And every night he chose to shut his mouth but not this time.
For as long as he know he don't have something to explain and he's not the one's at fault.
"The hell Queen Katherine..." He said frustrated. "Pwede ba huwag mo na akong salubungin gabi gabi kung ganyan din lang naman ang madadatnan ko!." Balik niya at inabot sa driver ang susi ng kotse. "Manang pakidala sa kwarto." Abot naman sa katulong nang suitcase at inakyat ang hagdan ng entrada ng mansion.
"I'm talking to you Clarence!" habol naman nito ng iwan niya sa labas at nagmartsa kasunod niya.
"Hey!-"
"What do you want?!." He asked trying to hold his anger when he stop walking.
He's trying to calm himself down. After all he's the man here and the man should atleast respect woman.
"Hindi na ba ako pwedeng magtanong?!!!. Clarence ilang taon ko nang ginagawa lahat para maayos tayo! Ilang taon ko nang pinagdurusahan lahat-"
And their he slapped her out of anger.
He was pushed to his limit this night. It's not the first time they argue about it.The marriage life they ever dreamed of is now far from what they have now.
Reciprocal to what is happening in the present.
He's trembling at just a mere thought of it.
"Now..." he breathes heavily. "Now... stop..." He's pointing at her while she's silently crying infront of him.
"Don't you even try make me remember all your SH*TS KATHERINE!!!" And he walked out.
Puno nang pagtitimpi ang bawat hakbang niya paakyat sa kwarto.
He can't even sleep on their bedroom, he always chose to sleep on their guest room.
"..." out of frustration and anger he punched the wall the moment he entered the mansion's guest room.
Wala na siyang pakialam kung dumugo man ito.
The memories just keep on playing and playing inside his head.
Katherine.
His father.
His brother.It keeps on crushing him over and over again. The very reason why he lost his old self.
He can't even find forgiveness for himself.
A very loving husband, son and brother is nowhere to be found now.
A tear once again fell from his eyes.
Rewinding all of what happened.
Weighing where did he go wrong.
He always question why all of these things need to happen.
He keep on punching and kicking the wall when Katherine hugged her from behind.
"...Stop please... I'm S-sorry... I-i-"
"Leave me alone..." he said controlling his anger breathing heavily.
But she didn't even try to move.
"I said..." and slowly his voice bit by bit sounds like some mad man. "GET OUT!!!" And he forcefully remove Katherine arms and pushed her on the floor. "When I said leave me alone! LEAVE ME ALONE!!!" And he stormed out once again slamming ther door.
He can hear her every sobs but the scars that she left inside him can't be vanish with every of her tears.
He's slowly drowning.
Couz how much he try to swim and find the hope that there marriage is going to be the same as before the burdens and the memories of her past just keep on pulling him down to drown and to get lost.
Everytime he close his eyes his mind keep on playing that incident.
All is a mess just so is he.
He drive and drive in the City.
From what he could remember he's one of those promising bachelor's on his batch several years ago.
A young man who has it all as they say.
Graduated with Latin honors.
From a family who own hectares from north.
A true Haciendero.
At galing sa dating desenteng pamilya.
Ang mga Sanchez.
"Be at Midas." He texted someone for sure he can let it all out.

"So... how was the f*ck?." KC casually asked after the deed and she was about to lit her cigarrette with her Harley Quinn inpired lighter when Tofer get it off her mouth.
"Told you not to smoke again KC..." and put it on the side table and he covered her body with a blanket as they're lying down on the bed naked.
"So how was the f*ck?." She again asked casually while playing with her lighter tossing it in ther air.
They're bit the same but different, he thought.
"Tastes like the first..." he answered spacing out.
"...You're wife?." She ask guessing. But he just planted kisses on her temple lightly ignoring her question. "You're marriage will soon come to an end tss tss tss." She said as if it is really something she has to care about to.
"I'm gonna go." And he boringly got up collecting all his clothes from the floor.
"Uh huh!" She said goodbye doin' a military like salute and chew a gum.
"Your allowance is here. Remember the rule-"
"When you need something just call my secretary." Pagtutuloy niya sa sinasabi nito. "I got it Taufer hindi ako bata para ulit-ulitin mo..." at kinuha niya ang hinagis nitong card sa side table ng kama.
"I'm just making sure, anyway I gotta go." At marahang bumeso ito sa kanya matapos suotin ang kurbatang itim.
Sandali pa siyang naupo sa malaking kama habang nakasandal ang likod sa ulunan nito. Ilang minuto rin nang magpasya na siyang tumayo't pinulot ang mga damit mula sa lapag, pagkatapos magbihis ay agad niyang isinukbit ang bag sa balikat at ibinulsa ang black card na ibinigay sa kanya ni Taufer.
After the long and tiring day she got up early the next morning for school.
It was a sunny day, her favorite day of the week.
Her only day off from what she called work.
Dancing on the shower, toasted a bread and she's ready to go.
She wore a yellow sunny dress and cover it with a denim jacket and wore a black adillete to achieve her simple yet classy university girl.
"GoodMorning Babe!" Josiah greeted from facetime while she's walking down the road to the shuttle stop.
