Napabuntong hininga si Carlo habang naiipit sa traffic. Ilang minuto na siya doon at usad pagong pa din ang mga sasakyan.
Napabuga siya ng hininga upang pawiin ang inis na nararamdaman.
It's been a week mula ng makabalik sila ng Balesin. Nakauwi na rin si Phil ng New York, and his services for him ended. Nagpaiwan siya ng Pilipinas. He needed to fix somethings for the Ranch and he needed to meet his old comrades.
A horse needed a break too, he thought.
And now, he is on his way to some bar to meet Dax. Isang gabi na kakailanganin na naman niyang lunurin ang sarili sa alak para makatulog.
Napatingin siya sa kotse sa tabi niya.
It's a picture of a husband ang wife laughing. He felt his gut clenched. Nakaramdam siya ng inggit at panghihinayang.
Should his life be different, sana ganoo
