to all the girls he loved before.. (part2)

Ruby Castro

RUBY ONG CASTRO, a computer science student at earist-gasat, gma campus that time..  the year was 2001..

he fell in love with her the moment he saw her, but there's one teenee-tiny problem..  news flash!  he's married now..  he married his stupid girlfriend for he knew that she's one in a billion..  the stupidest of 'em all for her to stick with him despite what he did to her on the part one of this saga..

he couldn't find a stable job so he asked his mother to support his studies again..  and so there he was, a 2nd-year irregular student of that campus..  he won't tell the school people that he's already married, hah!  he doesn't want his fun to be spoiled noh..  his wife is preggy and her tantrums irritates him so..  they had no money and they're only living under his mother's mercy..

life is hell for him when he's home with his ugly and fat and moody wife who's expecting anytime soon, so he'd rather stay at the campus the whole day - mingling with his precious ruby or bheng..  life is soooo good to him, he has a mother who's giving him a "baon" that's too much for his expenses so he has a "pang-patak" everytime the barkada has a planned drinking session..  and he has a friends who's too loyal to him, they would never dared to tell his wife that he's having an affair in school..  the only nightmare on his good 'ol life is his wife..  oh well, she's stupid naman so she won't be a problem..

or so he thought..

his fat and ugly wife on her "kabuwanan", went to the campus one day..  the humor about him having an affair must've reached her ear..  she saw him sitting leisurely at the school bench with his friends..  upon seeing her, he was shocked..  single guy reputation no more, he must do something about it before its too late..  oh, he was in rage and in his most worst mood..  he walked out pass his wife, without a word or anything, he went home alone without even caring what happened to his wife back there..

after that stupid thing she did, he never talked to her again..  no "kamusta na kayo ng baby"..  no "hindi ka ba nahihirapan na kumilos, kabuwanan mo na diba?"..  no nothing..

two weeks after he gave her a silent treatment, he went home late and "nakainom"..  his parents, who's just living near them, just couldn't take the situation and so talked to him..  she heard him shout "wala na akong pakialam sa kanya", followed by "wala naman syang kwenta, bahala na sya sa buhay nya" and with a "kahit kelan hindi na kami magkakaayos.." as a finale..

she didn't cry hearing those cruel words, or more like couldn't cry..  she just talked to her baby inside her womb..  assuring her (its a "her" accdg to the ultrasound) that everything will be fine so she has nothing to worry about..  begging her child to just ignore the negative feeling that she's surely sensing from her everyday..  rubbing her huge tummy while singing lullaby to ease her child's worries..  for months she's been alone taking care of her unborn child..  she couldn't go to her parent's house..  they're suffering enough trouble para dumagdag pa sya..  so she faced it all, alone..

just hours after her husband's rant, she felt something aching inside her followed by a rush of blood down there..  could it be?  "oh dear, what am i gonna do?" she thought..  she didn't want to gave birth to a hospital so her in-laws fetched a midwife..  during her labor her husband never approached her..  and so she heard his mother said "asikasuhin mo naman ang asawa mo" which he arrogantly answered by "pakialam ko sa kanya"..

she's all alone in their room, facing and bearing the pain of laboring by herself..  she can do it..  she has to, she said..  then after a while her husband came in..  no sorry, no words, he just rubbed her tummy and she just cried..

his wife bores him even in laboring for his child..  she's so damn maarte, throwing up everything she eat, even liquid..  he just couldn't stand nursing her so he told her that he'd be in school muna and would be back around after lunch..

and there she saw his precious ruby and the day seems to brighten at last..  he lacks sleep coz his damn wife started his "kaartehan" around 2am in the morning..  imagine that!  he still has an hang-over pa nga due to last night's drinking session..  thank goodness there's his darling ruby to brighten up his day..

oh i could kill her!  that stupid woman!  his wife along with their one-month old child nagged him about staying up late and drinking with his friends instead of taking care of her and their daughter..  pleeeeeeeeeeeaaassseee, give him some break..  he has no time for such bullshit..  how dare she nagged at him like that while making tapik on his arm with some kind of a bat..  oh he just couldn't let that pass so he snatched the bat from his wife and hit her with everything he had..  not caring if she's still carrying their one-month old child..

and so the "fight to the death" lasted for 5mins or so, both bruised all over..  right then and there, she walked out with their daughter and went to her parent's house..

"yipppeee, no more ugly and fat and nagging wife..  haaaayyy, this is life..  can't wait to be with my sweet ruby again.."

he's excited and couldn't contain it..  that day was barrio fiesta on his darling ruby's place..  and what's more special?  she finally agreed to be with him in a private place..  wow!  finally..

what happened?  after all those months he thought he was happy with his life with ruby and his friends..  but there's always something missing..  what could possibly be missing when just last week his wife gave her blessing to him and to his precious ruby..  she's letting him go completely, yay!  what a good news..

but after seeing his now working wife - fatty no more and more beautiful than ever..  good thing his wife has a lot of common sense to think of working eventhough she just gave birth two months ago..  of course she has to work coz he has no money to support her and their daughter..

what's happening to him..  its not that i want my wife back, but of course i want her back with all those co-worker guys who seems to have a crush on her..

and so he approached her and asked her back..  but to his dismay, her answer was "kakausapin ko muna si ruby, making sure na wala na talaga kayo"..  oh no, hindi pwede..  coz his real plan is to have his precious ruby at school while having a sexy wife at home..  so he told her that's not necessary..  but as a hard-headed as she can be, she went to the campus and look for ruby..  and worst, his wife even brought ruby home with her and presented to his mother!

his mother asked "bakit? anong meron? sino ka?"  and ruby replied "boyfriend ko po sya" pointing at him..  his mother was shocked "hindi pwede, may-asawa na ang anak ko kaya hindi ka nya pwedeng maging girlfriend.."

"anak, ano ba to?"  his mother asked him..

"etong babaing to ang sisihin nyo (looking at her) lagi nya na lang akong pinapahiya sa mga kaibigan ko..  ano naman kung laging nandito yung mga yun at halos dito na tumira at dito na rin kumakain at natutulog, ano bang pakialam nya?"

"ilang libong beses na kitang sinabihan pero hindi ka naman nagbabago..  ilang ulit na akong nakiusap sa'yo pero wala pa rin..  kung ayaw mong napapahiya, eh di huwag kang gumawa ng kahiya-hiyang bahay..  buti kung pagkalaki-laki nitong bahay mo, eh kaso hindi eh..  hindi ako makatulog ng maayos dahil nakabuyangyang lang ang tulugan sa isang tabi at sa dami nyo eh nakukulili na ang tenga ko sa ingay bukod pa sa isang lingon lang nila eh kitang-kita na nila kung nasan ako at kung anong ginagawa ko" she defended herself..  but still, he sticked to his plan that its all her fault that's why there's a ruby between them..

her husband's mother didn't like her much, kaya siguro she has a guts to even commented "ang cute naman nya", pertaining to ruby..  imagine, her mother-in-law, na-cute-an sa gf ng anak nya?  funny indeed..

the nightmare didn't end just there..  his wife even talked to ruby's family and told them everything..  followed that, ruby's family talked to him too in his wife's presence..  they asked him to set ruby first and if his marriage really won't work, then he can come back for ruby when he's totally free na raw, if she would still be single waiting for him..

darn that evil wife of him..  because of her his happiness has been cut out..  if he only knew that living with her would just be as awful like this, he wouldn't had married her in the first place..  she's stupid and evil as well..
