My mother-in-law suddenly gave me 2 million pesos and told me to go abroad to relax. The day I left for the airport, I quietly returned... and discovered a dreadful truth.
I have been married to my husband, Benito, for five years. Our married life hasn't always been tranquil, but I considered myself lucky because my mother-in-law was very understanding. Aling Remedios was very kind; she rarely interfered in our matters, and when she did, she offered me sweet and gentle advice.

I took a taxi back and got off a few blocks from the Talamban subdivision where we lived. I walked with a pounding heart. Reaching the end of the street, I felt a knot in my chest: The door was slightly open, and loud laughter was coming from inside.
