The oppressive heat of Manila clung to me, a suffocating blanket against my skin. My nineteen years in this house, a lifetime of memories, now felt like a cruel joke. Tomorrow, it would all be gone.

I poured the last of the brandy, the amber liquid swirling like the bitter thoughts in my head. My wife. The business. Everything I’d built, shattered. A lunatic laugh bubbled from my chest as I kicked the table, sending her photo frame crashing to the floor, glass shards scattering like my broken dreams.

"Hahahaha!" The sound was ragged, choked with pain and disbelief. "The b**** that I loved, who ruined everything!"

My dad, blind and eighty-four, shuffiled in. "Are you alright, son?" His voice, a gentle tremor in the chaos. I couldn't answer. How could I tell him the depths of my despair, the gaping void Maria had left?

He stepped on the broken glass, unfazed. "I am okay. I hope you are okay to let me go," he said, a cryptic smile on his lips as he walked away, leaving me drowning in questions and the stinging reality of my shattered life.
