C7 Mistress

Tyron's pov

The sun was going down so I had to take Hannah home.

"Hon, umuwi ka na rin sa inyo, ha. Cia's definitely waiting for you to come home," she said. I was about to open my mouth to disobey her when she spoke again.

"Huwag ka nang makipagtalo, alam ko na 'yang sasabihin at hindi uubra sa'kin 'yang mga irarason mo. You've just told me that she already knows about us, kaya naman hindi pwedeng magsama tayo ng matagal. We should limit ourselves, Tyron. May natatapakan tayong tao. Kaya umuwi ka, she's probably waiting." Hannah smiled at me and finally, we reached her house. I turned off the engine first and turned to her to face her.

"Don't you really want me to stay here first, kahit ngayong gabi lang?" I gave her a soft gaze, hoping that she'll let me stay here tonight, because I really don't want to go home yet. Ayokong makita ang taong 'yun. I'm too sick always seeing her as if she's so innocent even though she knows to herself what she did to me and Hannah.

I hate her.

I heard Hannah sighed.

"Of course, gusto ko. I really wanted you to stay here. If only you could just not leave and stay here beside me forever, I wouldn't let you go home ever again. Pero kasi hindi talaga pwede, kahit pa pareho nating gusto, kung hindi pwede, hindi talaga. You know Cia is waiting for you, don't you? Besides she's all alone there, you can't just stay here with me and leave her alone. She's your priority, she's your wife," she said, making me sighed deeply.

"Yeah, all right. I'm sorry." I apologized as I averted my gaze on her. Honestly, it's making my heart ache whenever she pushes me to Ciara, she's the one who I wanted to be with but she kept on pushing me away. I know Ciara's my wife but she's way more important to me than her or to anybody else.

She's the reason why I kept on fighting for my life and pushing Ciara away, because I wanted to get her back. I wanted our old relationship to be back, I wanted to spend my life again with her. But whenever conscience prevails on her because of Ciara, I feel like fighting for our relationship isn't worth it anymore. It feels like, she just wanted to give up on us and I'll just stay tied to Ciara. It's hurting me.

"You shouldn't apologize to me. Tell that to Cia, dahil siya 'yung nasasaktan mo."

Here she is again, minding the condition of that woman who's at fault why we end up like this. Not knowing that it is also hard for me to do this.

She didn't know that I was doing this for us, well yeah it's also hard for me to hurt Ciara but it's the only way I can do to give her a reason to leave me on her own. I just wanted Ciara to give up on me and free me from her, so that I can spend my life with Hannah again.

"Are you mad?" I asked, but she just sighed.

"I don't know. I can't answer that. It just makes me feel so upset because you know how I hate it when someone is being hurt. I don't know what to feel because it's Ciara, she's the one who broke us, but it hurts me knowing that it's you who's hurting someone, you're hurting your wife, Tyron. I really hate it.." I can sense the agony in her eyes.

"J-just go home for today.." I sighed.

"Fine, I'll go home tonight. But please.. Can you stop naming her as my wife? Didn't I promise you that I'll marry you when I fixed this mess? I promise you that we're going to start our life again together, without anyone who can break us apart. You knew how badly I wanted to be with you, right? You knew that you're the only woman whom I wanted to be called as my wife, Hannah. No one else, just you. So stop making it look as if you're the antagonist here and don't be upset with everything. I promise you, we can get out of this." I said softly, I really don't know what to do anymore if I lost this woman again. My life was already fucked up when we got separated because of Ciara and now that I finally got to be with her again, I won't let anything break us apart again.

She's the only girl whom I wanted to spend my whole life with.

"Do you think we can still fix this?" She gave me a worried look that's why I moved closer to her and held her cheek as I gave her an assurance look.

"I promise you, we can fix this and we will run from this together, hmm?" I leaned towards her and planted a soft kiss on her forehead. I smiled at her when I saw how tears filled her eyes, that's why I gently gave it a kiss too when she closed her eyes.

"I love you.." I whisper as she opens her eyes again.

"I love you too.." she responded. I softly smiled at her.

Yeah, she loves me too. I'll still fight for this. I'll fight for us. I'll fight for you, Hannah.

"I'll go now."

"Yeah, sure. Be careful." She immediately got out of my car and waved goodbye before she shut the door of my car. And as before I finally left I gave her my sweetest smile as I said goodnight.

The Next Day

Ciara's pov

"Please be careful, Mam Ciara. Take care of yourself." The nurse reminded me as she guided me out of the hospital so that I could go home.

"Oo naman." I smiled as I responded to her.

"Ayan na po pala ang taxi, Mam." She pointed at the car who just exactly arrived at a time. It was immediately stopped when the nurse signaled the taxi driver to stop so I could get in.

"Ingat po ulit!" When I already got inside the car, I gazed at the nurse through the window when she waved goodbye. I nod at her once, gently smiling.

"I will," I responded. She even followed the car using her eyes when it started to move. When we already got away from the hospital, I let out a deep sigh as I remembered that I was going home again.

Calm down, Cia. Always remember your doctor's order so you could survive from your cancer. Don't be so stubborn, it was just a simple order, it's not that hard to obey.

I couldn't help but to tear up when I remembered that this couldn't be treated anymore. That there is no cure for a heart disease. I just feel so drained and tired at everything.

I just wanted to live with him but why is it so hard to happen?

"Nakauwi na kaya siya?" Unconsciously, I asked myself. I couldn’t help but worry and repeatedly ask myself if he came home yesternight or if he still had any plans to go home.

He'll still come back to me, right? Even if I'm not really his home.

I smiled bitterly, hindi naman siya magmamahal ng iba kung natutugunan ko 'yung pagmamahal na nararapat kong ibigay sa kanya. Siguro ay nagkulang din ako kaya kami humantong sa ganito, kaya mas lumala ang sitwasyon naming dalawa.

Parang mas lalo kaming pinaglalayo ng tadhana..

Maybe we're not really the ones for each other. O sadyang karma ko lang ito dahil pinagsapilitan ko ang sarili ko sa kanya noon kahit pa alam kong balak niya ng mag-propose sa babaeng pinakamamahal niya? Sa totoo lang ay wala naman talaga akong karapatang magreklamo dahil ginusto ko ito, I became so impulsive. Nag-desisyon ako nang hindi ko iniisip 'yung mararamdaman niya at magiging sitwasyon niya.

Deserve ko namang masaktan, hindi ba? Na sa akin ang desisyon noon, kayang-kaya kong tumanggi sa kasal dahil balak naman talagang tulungan ng parents ko ang company nila Tyron noon, pero sa sobrang pagkahumaling at pagkagusto ko sa kanya, ako pa ang pumilit sa parents ko na ituloy ang kasal kahit pa noong mga oras na iyun ay matatali na rin si Tyron sa taong pinakamamahal niya, sadyang naunahan ko lang dahil naging makasarili ako at kasiyahan ko lang ang iniisip ko.

But I can’t see why he had to hurt me like this. It's so exhausting to pretend that everything is fine even though I'm really tired.

"Saan po tayo, Miss?" Tanong ni Manong Driver. Naka-mask siya na itim at mata lang ang nakikita.

"Sa Hilvano's Village ho, Kuya." Tugon ko. Tumango naman ito.

While on the trip, I couldn't help but be distracted by how the Manong driver had been simply glancing at my direction oftenly.

I don't feel good about this man.

"May I ask why you are wearing a mask and a.. cap?" I asked him, suspiciously. I just hope he's not planning to kidnap me. Sa ngayon, I still want to see my him. I still wanted to see Tyron and tell him how much I love him before it's too late. Bago ko tuluyang isuko ang buhay ko.

"May ubo po kasi ako, Mam. Kaya gumamit po ako nito, baka ho kasi mahawa ang mga pasahero ko. Pasensya na po." He explained. My lips turned into 'o' and nodded. I sighed in relief because I was wrong in thinking he would do something bad.

A few minutes after the trip, I finally arrived at my destination.

"Thank you, Manong. Take this, it's my payment." I have already handed the payment to him, but it's just really weird because he even had the guts to stare at my eyes before finally accepting my payment.

He's creeping the hell out of me.

Why does he keep on glancing at me through the mirror earlier? I just checked my face and I couldn't even see any dirt from it. What's his problem? He's really suspicious.

I started walking towards the house and just ignored that thought.

In the distance, I immediately saw a man standing in front of our house. It looked like someone was waiting, so I rushed my walk to find out who that man was and when I got closer, a smile immediately flashed on my lips when I recognized who it was.

It's Tyron, that only means he really went home yesterday.

I smiled. He even waited for me.

"Tyron!" I happily called him and was about to hug him, but I was surprised when I felt his palm hit my face. Saglit na napaawang ang labi ko at napapikit nang maramdaman ko ang sakit sa pisngi ko. Pakiramdam ko ay sandaling nandilim at umikot ang paningin ko. Ngunit isinawalang bahala ko na lang ang nararamdaman kong iyun, pero hindi pa man ako nakakaharap sa kanya nang hilain niya na ang damit ko, dahilan para matangay ako papasok sa loob ng bahay.

"T-tyron, masakit! Bitawan mo ako!" Daing ko habang pilit na nagpupumiglas sa pagkakahawak niya ng mariin sa damit ko.

"It hurts? Ha! This isn't enough for a hoe like you! You didn't even know how to listen and be stay in just a fucking one place, don't you? Who told you to leave? Didn't I already warned you not to make any stupid things?!" I couldn't help but burst into tears, panicking and nervousness rumbled throughout my system as he dragged me.

"Tyron, aray! Masakit! Bitawan mo ako! M-magpapaliwanag naman ako eh." Naiiyak nang sambit ko, habang pilit na inaabot ang kamay niya mapigilan lang ang sakit na nararamdaman ko dahil sa higpit ng pagkakahawak niya sa braso ko.

"Why didn't you come home last night?" His eyes get dimmed. "Tell me, where did you fucking go?!" He exclaimed and pushed that made me stumble on the floor. Bahagya akong napaatras nang salubungin ko ang nanlilisik nitong mga mata. Halos manginig na naman ako sa takot dahil nagsisimula na naman siyang saktan ako.

"Tell me, where the hell did you fucking go last night?!" He shouted loudly at me again, causing me to tightly shut my eyes, panicking and rapidly gulping.

"I w-was in the hosp-" hindi pa ako natatapos magsalita, ngunit laking gulat ko nang mabilis niyang sunggabin ang panga ko at hawakan iyun ng napaka-higpit tila ba galit na galit.

"Siguro, galing ka sa lalaki mo, ano? From the house of your fucking man, to be exact. Is it why you didn't come home last night, because you spent your freaking time flirting with your man all night, huh?! Hindi ba tama ako? Bakit? Masarap ba ang lalaki mo?" Tila pumantig ang tainga ko at wala sa wisyong nagbago ang tingin ko. my arm turned into fists as my gaze went dark as I heard him say those words that made me offended.

Hindi ko na napigilan pa ang sarili ko at agad itong tinadyakan, dahilan para mabitawan niya ang mukha ko.

"Ang kapal ng mukha mo! A man? A fucking man?! You're thinking that I'm going to someone's house just to flirt?!" I scoffed in disbelief. I can even feel my blood boiling and my hands shaking because of rage.

"Have you already forgot that you're the one who had a fucking mistress here?! You've just told me yesterday that you had a wife, Tyron. And it's not me.. and now you had the guts to accused me of having another man without even asking where I really went to?! Where in fact, it's you! It's you who went to your damn mistress house and spent your fucking time there flirting, without even thinking that I am here! Your wife is here struggling and didn't even know what to do anymore, because you just leave me fucking dumbfounded, questioning my worth!" I burst out, my heart were clenching. I couldn't even notice that my hands landed on his face. I just realized it when his mouth loosened and was really shocked looking at me. I didn't expect I'm the one who did it to him.

I stepped back and felt my breath getting heavier and my heart racing so fast. I couldn’t stop the tears that were shedding on my face because of the fact that he looked at me that way.

He didn't even bother hearing my side. All along, he thought of me being a hoe and having a man in bed.. i-it hurts.

But I was taken aback when I saw blood on his lips. It's only now that I realize that my slap on him has intensified. My emotion quickly changed, the worriedness on me prevailed as he wiped the blood on his lips.

I no longer hesitated to approach him and kneel in front of him and touch his face to examine if I had injured him.

"S-sorry.. masakit ba? Saan? Pasensya na. I didn't mean to, m-my emotion just—"

I couldn’t finish what I was saying when he looked at me, glaring and didn't expect he'll forcibly pull my cloth tightly closer to him.

"Didn't know you know how to fight now," he gave me a sarcastic smirk, causing a fear to cover all over my system. I stared at him in the eye and I could see no other emotion, but pure hatred and anger, so I swallowed out of fear.

I just moaned in pain when I felt him push me away from him, causing me to fall to the floor again and hit my head against the wall.

"Why is it so hard for you to listen to me?" Tanong nito, ngunit hindi ko siya nasagot dahil tila namanhid ang buong katawan ko nang pakiramdam ko ay may nabaling buto ko sa likuran ko.

"Ah!" Hindi pa ako nakakagalaw dahil sa sakit ng katawan ko nang muli na naman nitong hinila ang braso ko para kaladkarin ako.

Sinubukan kong mag-pumiglas, pero sadyang wala na akong lakas at hinang-hina na ako.

Naramdaman ko na lang na itinulak na ako nito sa isang masikip, madilim at mabahong kulungan.

"Diyan. Diyan ka nararapat, dahil mukha kang basura!" Singhal nito at agad na kinandado ang pinto ng kwarto kung saan niya ako parati kinukulong. Nanginginig ko namang pinilit ang sariling tumayo at pahabol na abutin siya.

"T-tyron, palabasin mo ako dito! Ayoko dito, palabasin mo ako, parang awa mo na!" Nangingilid ang mga luha ko sa mata habang nagmamakaawa, pero hindi niya ako pinansin at tuluyan ng umalis.

Napa-upo na lang ako at nagsimulang humagulgol.

Bakit niya ba ginagawa ito? Bakit kailangan kong maranasan ang ganitong paghihirap. Ang bigat bigat sa pakiramdam. Nakakapagod na.

Napahawak na lang ako sa dibdib ko at mapait na ngumiti nang maramdaman kong kumikirot na naman ang puso ko.

Ito na naman siya.

Naramdaman ko na lang ang paninilim ng paningin ko, dahilan para bumagsak na ako ng tuluyan.
