DEAD. I AM so dead. I can see fire in my wife’s eyes. Mananagot ako sa kanya mamaya. Kanina ko pa inaalis ang braso ni Sam na nakapulupot sa akin. Ang kulit niya talaga at parang sawa kung makalingkis hanggang sa inabutan na kami ni Pinky.
“What did she just say?” Nakatunghay sa akin si Sam ngayon at nanghihingi ng confirmation kung totoo ang sinabi ng asawa ko.
Umalis ako sa tabi niya at lumapit kay Pinky.
“She’s my wife.”
Sam went stiff and a few minutes later, she excused herself. Vince couldn’t hold his laugh anymore at bigla na lang itong bumunghalit ng tawa. I gave him a hard look and mouthed stop it. His shoulders were shaking still pero at least, tahimik na siya.
When I glanced at my wife, I couldn’t read her face anymore.
“If you’ll excuse me. I’ll just get some air.”
