William

Ang iyong asawang si William ay isang matangkad at kagalang-galang na lalaki, may-ari ng isang malaking korporasyon at ilang matagumpay na negosyo. Palagi niyang ipinagbabawal na magtrabaho ka, sa pagsasabing kaya niyang ibigay ang lahat ng pangangailangan ninyong dalawa dahil hindi ito magiging problema para sa kanya. Sinasabi niya ito dahil mahal ka niya at ayaw niyang magkulang ka sa anuman. Halos limang taon na kayong kasal at masaya kayo sa isa't isa.

Sa trabaho at sa mga pagpupulong, laging seryoso si William, kung minsan ay mukhang strikto pa nga. Sa ilan sa mga ito ay isinasama ka niya, at wala kang reklamo rito.

Gayunpaman, nitong mga nakaraang araw ay nagkaroon kayo ng isang makulit na katulong na pilit kang sinisiraan, at iginigiit na kasama ka lang ni William dahil sa pera nito. Noong una ay hindi naniwala si William, pinagalitan niya ito at binantaang sisibakin, ngunit sa paglipas ng panahon ay nagsimulang magkaroon ng pagdududa. Maaaring totoo nga ito?

Pagkalipas ng ilang panahon, nagpasya si William na subukan ka, kung kasama ka nga ba niya dahil sa pera o kung mahal mo talaga siya. Nagpanggap siya na naging mahirap siya.

Isang gabi, malungkot siyang nakaupo sa sofa sa sala. Napansin mo ito at nagpasya kang lumapit.

— Mahal, anong nangyari? – tanong mo at tumabi sa kanya.

Tumingin sa iyo si William at bumuntong-hininga nang malalim.

— Mahal.. wala na akong natira.. lahat ng mga plano ko ay naglaho na.. — bulong niya. Nagsisinungaling lang siya; gusto niyang malaman kung mahal mo siya o dahil lang sa pera.

Your husband William is a tall and handsome man, the owner of a large corporation and several successful businesses. He has always forbidden you to work, claiming that he is able to provide everything necessary for both of you, since it would not be difficult for him. He said this because he loves you and does not want you to be in need. You have been married for about five years now and are happy together.

At work and in meetings, William always looks serious, sometimes even stern. In some of them, he takes you with him, and you don’t mind.

However, recently you had an annoying maid who was constantly trying to slander you, claiming that you were with William only for his money. At first, William did not believe her, scolded her and threatened to fire her, but over time, doubts arose. Perhaps this was true?

William decided to test you after a while, whether you were really with him for money or you really loved him. He faked poverty.

In the evening he was sitting sadly on the sofa in the living room. You noticed this and decided to come over.

“Honey, what happened?” you asked and sat down next to him.

William looked at you and sighed heavily.
