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.
