WIFE SERIES: THE BATTERED WIFE (ENGLISH VERSION)
Chapter 6: CAUGHT IN THE ACT

It's not right for me to suspect Tranz because I found out that Lily is here in Manila.

Your husband is better than this, Mina.

That's right...

My husband is not this kind of person. He can't do anything like this. He is not like other men who are playful and who love to have women in their arms.

I closed my eyes and looked up.

I didn't know that the sky full of stars is a sad scene, not until tonight.

Although I was crying, I tried to calm myself down because I did not have enough evidence to prove that the two were meeting.

"Mina, child?" Mom calls my name, so even though my heart is hurting, I forced myself to answer.

"Mom, I'll call you tomorrow, huh? M-my husband is coming. It's our anniversary today, eh." I tried to keep my voice warm so that they would not notice that I have a problem.

"Is that so? Oh, sure, go ahead. Just say hello to your husband. I hope you take time to have a vacation here because your father and I miss you."

My tears flowed one after another because of what Mom said, so before they could hear my sobs, I cut off the call.

What is the reason why I am like this?

I grabbed the railing and forced myself to calm down. I have to control my emotions because it might be bad for my situation. After all, I'm pregnant.

I also spent a few minutes trying to fix myself before I called my husband.

His phone just keeps on ringing.

"Please pick up the phone, Love..." I said to myself as I bit my nail.

The fifth time I tried to call him, Tranz still didn't answer, that's when I decided to call his office.

The one who answered was his secretary.

"This is Vivia-"

"Vivian, this is Mina," I interrupted the old secretary.

"Oh, hija, why did you call?"

"Is Tranz still there? I'm calling his phone, but he didn't answer." I'm talking fast as if my life depends on the speed of my speech.

"It's weird." Her voice was low, but I could still hear her said those words.

"W-why?" My heart has begun to pound again.

"Because earlier, after the meeting in the restaurant with investors, he was in a hurry to leave. I thought he was going home because he said it's your anniversary today." Suddenly my chest heaved because of what Vivian said.

'Please, don't do this to me, Tranz...

This is making me crazy!

"Are you having a problem with your husband, hija?"

I don't know why she asked such a thing.

Is it possible that my husband is cheating and they have an idea about it?

"Does my husband been behaving strangely lately?"

The line was silent for a moment before she answered.

"Nothing, hija. As the matter of fact, I thought you were the one who called your husband earlier because after he received the call, he was in a hurry to leave." "I-Is that so?"

"Miss Mina!" inside the house, a maid, called me, so I was distracted by the maid's behavior.

"Sorry for the inconvenience, Vivian. Goodnight..." I said to the secretary. I didn't wait for her answer because I was in a hurry to know why the maid is calling me. "What is it, Nemia?"

"There's a phone call," she answered, so I immediately went to the place where the telephone was.

"Hello?"

The words of the person on the other line made it seem as if some high-pitched sound suddenly rang in my ear. Out of shock, my hands have begun to tremble, so I dropped the phone.

My tears begin to shed from my eyes before I went to the garage area.

Because I left my car key inside, I will be using our van, and I was about to hop in when Nana Marina held my arm.

"Are you going to drive in that state, Mina? Where are you going?"

I looked up as if it would help bring back the tears to my eyes.

Nana Marina caressed me on the shoulder. "Calm down, child. Tell me what's wrong with you?"

"T-Tranz is in the hospital, Nana..."

"My God, be merciful!" The older woman exclaimed, and she said a little prayer. Like the way I reacted when I found out where my husband is, Nana Rosa did the same thing. "Rene will be driving. It won't do good if you'll drive. Look at you; you're still shaking. Just stay here, and I'll call Rene. Don't leave."

I just nodded even though I wanted to fly as fast as I could to Metro Hospital just to make sure my husband was okay.

When I saw that Rene was on his way to where I'm standing, I entered the car and sat on the passenger side.

Soon enough, we were on our way to the hospital. While in the car seat, I prayed that my husband would be in good condition.

I still don't know the reason why he's in the hospital now because I lost myself when I heard someone talking on the phone that Tranz was admitted to the hospital.

Unfortunately, we were stuck in traffic, so the 30-minute travel had taken more than an hour. So when the car stopped in the garage area of the hospital, I hurriedly ran into the hospital.

My plan to go to the Nurse Station was thwarted when I looked like a candle that had been blown out of its stand because of what my eyes are seeing.

Why?

I bit my lower lip just to prevent myself from crying.

"Hey, Minakels, why are you late? Tranz was waiting for you..."

I ignored the speaker because my attention was on my husband with a bandage on his head. I can see some scars and bruises on him.

Why are you two together? When did you two have a connection with each other?

"What are you doing here, Mina?" Tranz asked me. My husband throws a glance at me from head to toe-before he smirked as if he's disgusted at my face. "And with that drees, ha?" His voice was full of sarcasm Why is he acting like this?

Why do I have s to in his eyes the anger and...

Resentment?
