This is a re-post from
my old blog.
We were in 3rd year high
school when Che* and Jun* became sweethearts. But though they were a sweet
couple, young and obviously very much in love, we didn't approve of the match.
On one hand, Che was a quiet girl with bashful eyes. Jun, on the other hand,
was a spoiled brat and a mischief since we were young. So, we kind of hoped
that they would break up one day. They didn't. As a matter off act, Che was in
third year in her BS Nursing course when she ran away with Jun.
Jun proved to be the
brat that he really was. He didn't work. He continued his bachelor's ways even
if they already had 2 children. He was very irresponsible, unreasonably jealous
and an abusive husband. There was a rumor that he beat Che when he got drunk.
Che wouldn't admit it but her dark bruises couldn't deny anything. We urged Che
to leave Jun, but she was scared to death of what Jun will do to her besides
the fact that she couldn't leave her children.
Then one night, Jun,
heavily drunk and (as the rumor went) under the influence of prohibited drugs,
beat Che so badly that she was nearly killed. She was able to run away to her
parents' place. They hid her somewhere safe for quite some while. She was safe
but heartbroken. She knew she lost her children the moment she left Jun. I told
her she's no use to them if she's dead...
Che is now working
abroad as a factory worker. I heard that she borrows the children every time
she's here in the Philippines. Jun is still begging her to come back to him,
but needless to say it's suicide. How about Jun's parents? Well, their son never
goes wrong and that's all there is to it..
