Arranged Marriage Chapter 6
Transcript
00:00Because it's Saturday and I'm not here.
00:03I thought of going to school.
00:06I'll cook lunch for Alwin.
00:09I'll bring it.
00:11It's in his office.
00:13We've been together for a month.
00:15It's sad, but it's nothing.
00:18It's changed.
00:20It's still cold.
00:22He asked me to move the house.
00:25The one we're living in.
00:27It can't be called.
00:28A home because it doesn't exist.
00:31A love that lives.
00:34No.
00:36One love is enough for
00:38building a family.
00:41He doesn't leave me alone.
00:44We sleep in the same room.
00:46I'm in the couch.
00:48He sleeps because he doesn't want me
00:51next to his bed.
00:53It's heavy to sleep in that room.
00:55Especially since he has more rights than me.
00:58The picture of Tia.
01:00He doesn't really talk to me.
01:03He shows me the absence.
01:06My importance to him.
01:08I'm still hoping that
01:11he'll try to love me.
01:14You and I will live as husband and wife.
01:17I'm not like a foreigner to
01:20him.
01:22Almira still lives here.
01:23Almira.
01:25Almost.
01:27We don't see each other.
01:29Weekdays because she goes out at night.
01:32Party.
01:34I'm not with her yet.
01:36Because I'm graduating.
01:38I'm focused.
01:40On studying.
01:42Manang, taste it if it's right.
01:45The spice, I asked Manang.
01:48He smiled as he chewed.
01:51Me.
01:53Happy.
01:55Here's your husband, Ania, and get
01:58a spoon.
02:00After he tasted it,
02:02he gave a thumbs up.
02:04I hope Manang likes it.
02:07Him.
02:09The man is also handsome.
02:11That's my language.
02:13It will also soften.
02:15You're a good husband.
02:17Pauline.
02:19She patted me on the back.
02:20I smiled.
02:22I thought, I hope.
02:24That day has come.
02:26I went upstairs to
02:29do my hair.
02:31I wore a red
02:33asymmetric above the knee dress and
02:36silver wedge.
02:38I also put on light makeup to
02:40look presentable.
02:43When I got to the company,
02:46I just walked straight.
02:47I went to the elevator.
02:49I was blocked
02:51by the security guard.
02:53I felt disgusted.
02:55It's good
02:57that I was able to change
02:59my status.
03:01My surname has already been changed
03:04by Montenegro.
03:06This is what I showed the receptionist and
03:09the guard.
03:11I am Amma Montenegro's wife.
03:13Meet me.
03:15I am not
03:17yet able to convince them.
03:19The security guard joined in.
03:22My face.
03:24Sorry, ma'am.
03:26The guard and the receptionist
03:28asked for a dispensary.
03:30I ignored them.
03:32I just noticed and walked straight.
03:34When I got to the 18th floor,
03:36I was blocked
03:38by the secretary.
03:40Ma'am, do you have an appointment?
03:43The secretary asked,
03:45Do you still need an appointment?
03:47Amma Montenegro's wife asked,
03:51She blinked and smiled.
03:54I thought,
03:56Is it okay to go now?
03:58I was near the door of Alwin's office,
04:01but he stopped me again.
04:04Ma'am, sir asked,
04:06Anya can do it.
04:08I looked at her.
04:10Sir asked,
04:11When you go,
04:13say goodbye to her first, Anya.
04:16I don't know if she's mad or angry.
04:19I can feel it in the words of
04:21the secretary.
04:23Because if I'm angry,
04:25I will not
04:27feel a pang of pain in my chest.
04:29I was easily intimidated by the secretary.
04:32Couch.
04:34I have nothing to do.
04:36That's what her boss bought.
04:38I want to cry,
04:39but I always say.
04:41To me, Almira called me.
04:43I cried, especially if the reason was
04:46her brother.
04:48Her brother said he would be happy.
04:50He and more will do things
04:53for me to support our marriage.
04:56Let's just wait for Sir, Ma'am.
04:59He still has a meeting tomorrow.
05:01Inside, the secretary said,
05:04How long will I ask?
05:06Eleven o'clock.
05:07Eleven o'clock.
05:09It's noon.
05:11Lunch is almost ready.
05:13Break.
05:15Ms. Laina has been there for a while.
05:17Time.
05:1910 o'clock.
05:21What are they talking about?
05:23They've been like that for a long time.
05:25I sat quietly on the couch.
05:27I can think of negative things.
05:30It's okay, but I'm forced to think.
05:33I
05:35can't cry here.
05:37Two o'clock, the door opened.
05:40Alwin's office.
05:42Ms. Laina woke up.
05:44She went out.
05:46When I saw her,
05:48her face was gloomy.
05:50What are you doing here?
05:52She asked.
05:54Her face is really thick.
05:56She sounds like a jealous wife.
05:59Is it forbidden to visit my husband?
06:02I'm pissed off.
06:04Husband?
06:05You're joking.
06:07She laughed.
06:09I looked at her seriously.
06:11Ms. Montenegro,
06:13please continue.
06:15My secretary called my attention.
06:17I teased the woman before me.
06:20She stood up and walked to the door of
06:23Alwin's office.
06:25What are you doing here?
06:27She asked.
06:29Alwin, I can't get in.
06:31I brought you lunch.
06:33I answered.
06:35Couch.
06:37I spread what I brought on the table.
06:39She also stood up and approached.
06:41I arranged the food.
06:43I fed her.
06:45She took it.
06:47This and started eating.
06:49She didn't have
06:51any reaction while eating.
06:53Have you eaten yet?
06:55She asked.
06:57I asked.
06:59It's like the first time.
07:01She asked me if I already ate.
07:03I
07:05cried because of that.
07:07You eat.
07:09I can't finish it all.
07:11What did you bring, Anya?
07:13I answered.
07:15I also fed myself.
07:17She also ate.
07:19Quietly.
07:21We both ate until the end.
07:23We ate.
07:25I closed the boxes so
07:27I could leave right away.
07:30Not me.
07:32It will take a long time and she might throw up.
07:33Me.
07:35What's your plan after
07:37your graduation?
07:39She asked.
07:41I don't know but I felt
07:43nervous.
07:45She asked.
07:47Work.
07:49I answered.
07:51After graduation,
07:53start studying
07:55how to run your
07:57company, Anya.
07:59I left.
08:01I brought
08:03food.
08:05I don't want to hear what she will say next.
08:07She will say,
08:09let's talk about this.
08:12Nayan, after your graduation,
08:14Anya.
08:16I was crying so I stood up.
08:18I just stood up.
08:20I will leave.
08:22Goodbye.
08:24She walked out of her office.
08:26Her secretary stood up.
08:29She saw me.
08:31But I wasn't her anymore.
08:33She noticed.
08:35My tears were running down my face.
08:37I had tears in my eyes.
08:39I couldn't
08:41stop myself from falling.
08:43I walked to the elevator.
08:45I was hurt.
08:47She didn't
08:49say anything.
08:51I know.
08:53He's
08:55planning to file an annulment
08:57after a month.
08:59Graduation.
09:01Another month had passed
09:03by.
09:05I was preparing
09:07for Alwin's breakfast
09:09because the class was in the afternoon.
09:11I was sending him
09:13lunch to
09:15the driver.
09:17It was already 8 p.m.
09:19I couldn't prepare him
09:21for the afternoon
09:23because my class was already over.
09:25He usually comes home late.
09:27He smelled alcohol
09:29and went to sleep.
09:31I just sleep
09:33with him.
09:35I'm the one who brings him
09:37lunch.
09:39I'm just the driver
09:41but I put
09:43a note in the food
09:45I'm sending him.
09:47I don't know if he'll notice.
09:49He's just lazy
09:51so I didn't
09:53extend what I'm writing.
09:55I usually write
09:57I hope you'll like it.
09:59Cook this for you.
10:01Enjoy your lunch.
10:03I think the air is still good.
10:05He can feel it
10:07but I'm tired.
10:09He doesn't notice the presence.
10:11It's only been a month
10:13and it's almost over.
10:15I'm in college.
10:17I'm scared.
10:19It's just now.
10:21Yes, and he didn't complain.
10:23He doesn't care about me
10:25but I know
10:27that even though he treats me like this
10:29I'm still happy.
10:31I'm doing my responsibility
10:33as his wife.
10:35I hope he'll notice
10:37even if it's just a little.
10:39It's already night
10:41and I'm not here.
10:43I'm sleepy.
10:45Alwin is still not here.
10:47I hope I'll just go with Almira
10:49to the bar
10:51but I won't.
10:53I told her
10:55that I can't avoid
10:57going away
10:59so that Alwin won't see me
11:00as his wife.
11:02She said,
11:04Manang has a point.
11:06No.
11:08I can do anything
11:10that he can do to me.
11:12I went to rest
11:14and get up.
11:16I went to the bathroom
11:18to pee.
11:20Maybe Alwin woke up again.
11:22He's still alive.
11:24Like he didn't care.
11:26Nothing.
11:28He doesn't care
11:30about his wife.
11:32He's waiting for her
11:34for him.
11:36He's pregnant and he doesn't have a wife.
11:38Just when I opened the bathroom door
11:41Alwin was about to come in.
11:43It smelled like alcohol.
11:45It's him again.
11:47He woke up when he saw me.
11:49I tried to let him pass
11:51but
11:53he suddenly hugged me.
11:55He was big.
11:57I was shocked at what he did.
11:58He was tight.
12:00He hugged me
12:02like he was big.
12:04I missed him so much.
12:06I miss you.
12:08I hugged him.
12:10He hugged me again and again.
12:12I was crying with joy
12:14when he said
12:16and did
12:18answered prayer.
12:20I love you.
12:22I stopped what he said.
12:24My tears also started
12:26to fall
12:28but
12:30he spoke again.
12:32Pia, Ania.
12:34It's like I was poured
12:36cold water.
12:38Why did I think
12:40that what he said was for me?
12:43I trusted him but I didn't.
12:46I thought he was drunk and had an accident.
12:49I'm still Pia.
12:51I tried to push him
12:53but
12:55I was crying.
12:56He kissed me.
12:58He is kissing me
13:00passionately.
13:02I should be happy.
13:04I should be happy.
13:06It
13:08was our first kiss
13:10and it was with
13:12the man whom I love
13:14but no.
13:16He's drunk
13:18and he's thinking
13:20about me.
13:22I should be happy.
13:24I should be happy.
13:26I'm Pia.
13:28Alwin is Paolento
13:30not Pia, Wicca.
13:32I'm in the middle of his kiss.
13:34He's happy.
13:36He stopped kissing me.
13:38Yeah, Pauline.
13:40I'm your fucking wife.
13:42He let me go.
13:44He looked at me.
13:46He looked at me coldly.
13:48Why do you look like you're drunk?
13:51I'm drunk even though I don't like you,
13:53Ania asked.
13:54In a low voice,
13:56I couldn't stop
13:58my tears.
14:00He said
14:02it's for the country.
14:04Within two months,
14:06he's still not here.
14:08I became a burden in his life
14:10even if it's just a kiss.
14:12Don't cry.
14:14It's your fault too.
14:16I know I'm weak
14:18and
14:20I said
14:22I told you I don't love you.
14:24I love you
14:26even if it's just a kiss.
14:28Think of me as
14:30Alwin's wife.
14:32I'm weak.
14:34I'm in the middle of his kiss.
14:36You're such a drama queen,
14:38Ania asked.
14:40He turned his back on me.
14:42I cried quietly.
14:44It hurts.
14:46I was still hoping
14:48that two months
14:50is just a kiss.
14:52He learned to love me
14:54just a month
14:56and it's over.
14:58That's my love for Montenegro.
15:00I don't know what time
15:03Alwin's cell phone rang.
15:05I thought
15:07he wouldn't wake up because
15:09he's drunk but I heard
15:12his answer.
15:14Hello, Pia.
15:16I stopped what I heard.
15:18I stopped breathing while
15:20I was nervous.
15:22One more month,
15:24please, Ania Sa.
15:26Soft tone.
15:28Sometimes, no.
15:30He talked to me like that.
15:32A gentle and soft voice.
15:35I know.
15:37Please, understand.
15:39Two,
15:41if he's still worried about
15:43me,
15:45I can't go there yet.
15:47Ania,
15:49I became more emotional
15:51while I heard my husband
15:54talking to the woman he loves.
15:57Why do I feel this way?
15:59I'm the wife but I'm taller.
16:02I'm short.
16:04I'll tell her, okay.
16:06It's just a quick
16:08month.
16:10A month for her to be free.
16:12Is that it?
16:14That's it.
16:16Pia knows she's married to
16:18me.
16:20That's why she's being followed by
16:22Pia there
16:24again.
16:26She'll leave me.
16:28I don't know if I should
16:30be angry because of that
16:32or because of her.
16:34She's the first.
16:36She's the one I love.
16:38But I'm the one she married.
16:40Should I
16:42be hurt?
16:44Should I
16:46fight for being
16:48Alwin's wife?
16:50Now I know for myself
16:52that she doesn't love me.
16:54I'm almost gone.
16:56I sleep with a heavy heart.
16:58Oh,
17:00it's already 5 o'clock.
17:02Wake up.
17:04It's still early.
17:06Go to school.
17:08It's still early.
17:10Prepare breakfast for Alwin.
17:12He'll be cold.
17:14Just because he's still awake at 7 o'clock.
17:16I have a headache.
17:18When I cry,
17:20I have a runny nose.
17:22After taking a bath
17:24I went out of the room.
17:26I'm careful.
17:28It's locked.
17:30It's too early to go in.
17:32Almira, you just got home.
17:34She woke me up.
17:36It looks like something's wrong.
17:38She's still drunk.
17:40I slept in the car by myself.
17:42Garage,
17:44and a weak laugh.
17:46Okay, go to sleep.
17:48I'll go in too.
17:50I
17:52I ran, but Almira
17:54said, let's sleep.
17:56You're crying again, Anya.
17:58I'm hoping.
18:00She went home drunk.
18:02He kissed me.
18:04He says he loves me.
18:06He
18:08says he missed me.
18:10He thought
18:12I was
18:14Tia.
18:16I cried again.
18:18Almira is weak.
18:20I heard what they were talking about.
18:22Plan.
18:24He's waiting
18:26for a month.
18:28In one
18:30month, I'll graduate.
18:32Maybe then
18:34he'll leave me.
18:36Almira's hands are shaking.
18:39He holds me close.
