They both died. *I want to leave Ben! I am tired of* him. *I am tired of the abuses he always do to me.* This is a what I always said to Marie everytime we met. *Are you sure about it? Ben will get mad and might kill you.* Marie replied. *Im sure Marie. I will go to far away place so that he can't find me.* -- I am walking going home to our house. A squaters area in Manila , that's where I lived. A crowded , noisy wherein you can meet different types of people. I opened the door of our house and as usual I saw my husband sitting on his throne holding a bottle of red horse. *Where's the money?* He asked me about the money that I collect from his lending business. *Can you just let me rest? I am tired.* After I said those words he stand up and walk going to me. He grab my hair and pull me to the bedroom. I am so used with our kind of set up. I am physically , mentally and emotionally abuse everyday and I can't do anything but to accept it. He always said that I am lucky because he marry me. He always told me what's the difference of making it every wherein fact I always do that in the bar when I am working before. I am lucky because he's the only one who used me and not different guys. I keep my mind in silence and accept the fact the my life will be like that. I want to leave him and escape the life I leave but he always told me that he will kill me and I can't survive alone. One evening , after my husband punch me and used me I go outside to clean my wounds and then there's a guy who is starring at me. He's the new tenant in our neighborhood. He saw me crying and he walk going to me. He kissed the wounds in my arms and I feel something strange on me. I know it's wrong to feel that way but I am weak. Days passed , we began to know more about each other and fall in love with him. He was so sweet and gentle and I never experienced it to my husband. He promised me that we will leave the place and we will leave far away from my husband and I believed him. We had a plan that we will leave the place and escape my husband. I put a sleeping pills in my husbands beer so that he will sleep overnight. I thought our plan will be successful but I'm wrong. My husband didn't drink the beer in the glass but instead he poured it on the ice bucket when I'm not around. He caught us and our plan and because of depending myself that I killed him unintentionally. Alfred help me to throw the body of my husband and all I know we can start a new life but I'm wrong because Alfred said we need to lay low so that the people will not going to suspect us. I followed him but as the days go by it seems that he fooled me. I confronted him and I saw his true colors. He started to black mail me telling me that I am going to jail if I will not do his wants. I gave him money and he also sell my body to other guy. I am crying because of what happened to my life. I thought my life will be better but it's gets worst. One night I was shocked , I thought I saw a ghost but not. It was Ben! My husband is alive. I am scared and just followed all he wants. He wants me to call Alfred and used me in our house and then he will kill Alfred. Our plan goes well , Alfred came and Ben took the knife and try to kill Alfred. I gave another knife to Alfred a told them to kill each other and then they both died.
