What would you do?

The most striking conversation. He was really angry for what has been going on (or so she thought), he was too discriminating.

Patience. She has more of that but it almost ran out. She kept her mouth shut. Real tight. She tried to be more compassionate. There's must be more to it.

BAD WORDS. INSULT.

Feeling he crossed the line and sensed her silence for his hurtful words he uttered, "I'm not mad at you. I was married to a Filipina. I gave her everything. I brought her whole family here. But they took advantage of me. I feel stupid. I feel like I'm the most stupidest person in the world. What they did to me is what I think of every time I wake up in the morning and before I sleep at night. I gave her everything I can for her and her children and her family. They used me."

Pain. She knows there's more to his unexplainable rudeness. She finally understood why. She can't blame him. Her instinct was right at the onset.

"My mom used to tell me when I was young, there are no permanent friends, no permanent enemies either. I can't tell you I understand what you're going through coz you felt and still feeling the pain. Maybe what I can say is that you should stop beating yourself up. Take it as lesson. Life is a constant change and we all know that. Either you deal with it or get trampled upon. Your choice. But unless you forgive and love yourself again, then you will finally realize the reason why you had to go through all this. What they did will go back to them for sure. But you owe yourself a goodnight sleep everyday. Don't let anger take that away from you".


She felt him relax and everything calmed down. He was thankful for the insight from a faceless stranger.

"After talking to you I feel a lot better. I was very angry but now I feel good. Thank you."

Then she heard him laugh. They both did.
