I am holding my new cellphone that had been ringing since earlier. Blaze’s number appeared and I am sure what he needed from me that is why I can't help myself but laugh. I just laughed and laughed until I saw Maggie call, Dane and the others followed. Just call me there and I'll just have fun here. What did I do? I banned Margot from leaving the country.
Do they want to talk to me? They know where I live so they have to call me in person. I'm still important now because I'm happy. It would also be more fun if they will bring Margot to come here. I set the tone to silent so it doesn't make noise but it keeps vibrating.
When Blaze told me they were leaving the country with Margot I bought a new cellphone. I Logged in to my ID where contacts are saved. I called the attorney and told him to ban Margot from leaving the country. And since our annulment is pending Atty says it's easy for him to do it. For sure that's why the colloquialism calls because of that. If Blaze and Maggie want to leave, they can, but they can't include my wife Margot.
I am immature and childish. Oh well, I love being immature because you don’t care about others. And at least now I've benefited. For sure Blaze got my new number from the attorney. But I didn’t care what he was fighting for. Blaze's message also came in one after another so I read it. It would not be superfluous for me to answer this.
["What the hell are you doing, man?"]
["Are you a damn stupid?"]
["Answer my call, you imbecile."] He's mad here but it's ok. He would just get angry until his veins exploded.
["Goddamnit, Jace, what do you think you're doing?"]
["Hey, motherfucker, I'm going to burn down your house if you don't answer Blaze's call. -Maggie."] She can burn it down if wants. It would be happier if she would include herself inside. She can no longer get me to her threat.
But fuck, that woman is crazy. What if she will do it? Umami's belongings were there and Margot and I had other belongings. Ah no, Blaze will stop her. But what if she acts without letting Blaze know? Only, Maggie's strength can infect me to her madness.
I lay down on the pallet while rocking my feet. That happened earlier so they must have gone home. What did they look like when they found out Margot was banned. Maggie is the only one I'm banning so Blaze can still leave if they want. Why would they even include my wife?
I got up and swallowed. Fuck! Dane will surely get mad because Blaze didn't continue to go---- if he didn't go and he also went home with Margot. Should I be nervous or should I leave here?
Ah, no, Dane won't be mad at me. Maybe she's happy with what I did? But was she really happy with what I did? What if she gets angry? I'm nervous to think that Dane is angry because it looks like I'm at the end by chance. I also saw that her call appeared so I was even more nervous. I picked up the cellphone and called the attorney.
{"Mr. Enrile."}
"Was she banned?"
{"Yes, I used your rights as her husband."}
"Good, what did he say?"
{"I haven't talked to your wife yet but her sister fights with me and says she's going to burn me."}
"Don't pay attention to that crazy woman. I'm your client so you can only listen to me. Is it just an international flight?"
{"I have also issued a motion for reconsideration as you said. Every time Margot gets on a ship or a plane or if she leaves Bulacan we should know where she is going."},
"And?"
{"The judge signed it."}
"Good, I'll send you the bonus, tomorrow morning."
When I dropped the call, Blaze was right to call. I didn't want to answer but because I was kind I answered. Also, I’m in arrears because he doesn’t seem to have left either. Good on him.
"Why?"
{"Why? What the hell are you doing?"}
"Blaze, no one is stopping you and your wife from leaving if you want, wish you all the best ok? But you can't bring my wife."
{"Listen, Jace, you're just making the situation worse. You lost for three months and now you're going to ban her so easily?"}
"She banned me too. So we're just fair."
{"Jace, your acting ---"}
"Childish? I know."
{"Let her heal. Let her go. If you want you can follow us. Come back here."}
"Take care of your wife and don't mind my wife and about us. Bye." Then I turned off the call.
I heard another call again but I ignored it. Until the call still refuses to stop. My heartbeat quickened when I saw Margot's call. I swallowed a few times and wondered if I would answer her call.
I just stared at the screen while listening to the twinkle twinkle little star ringtone. What can she say Is she angry, will she shout at me? Speak hurtful words? Shall I answer or not? Is her voice is same as before? Soft and tender.
Whatever.
I answered the call but died on time. Son of --- annoying. I put down the cellphone and waited for her to call again but nothing changed. Did she think I was angry because I didn't answer her call? Would she be mad at me for what I did? She also did that to me! She also bans me so why would she be angry?
I walked around as I wondered if I would call her to find out what she needed. Maybe it's important. Maybe she wants us to get along. She might want to talk to me and clear something.
I was about to call Margot to ask what she needed but my cellphone rang again and she called again. I was nervous again. I don't know what to do anymore. Son of ----- why am I nervous? It’s been a while since I’ve had the courage to want to call her.
I stared at the cellphone again while wondering if I would answer the call or not. Son of ----- what am I going to do? I pressed the answer button and slowly pressed the cellphone to my ear. My heart was beating so fast and my throat was so dry with nervousness.
"H-hello?" But only a long tooooot came to me. Shameless. I called her number but she was busy. I called again but I was busy again. Son of a----. I threw the cellphone on the pallet out of annoyance. I just lay down on the bed while thinking. What if I go home and face Margot?
I am thinking and thinking until I notice that it is already noon. Still, I did not eat lunch. I got up and drank some water to get out. When I open the door the most beautiful face I have ever seen in my entire life approached me.
"M-Margot?"
"Let's talk."
