Lately, I was thinking of the situation that happened to me just last three days ago.

My husband do fetch me from work everyday. He tags along our baby Ivan and my mother-in-law. He fetch me because baby Ivan wants to go out everyday. And it has been a habit of my husband fetching me because of Ivan.

But last three days ago, I was supposed to go home by my own. My husband had a meeting. So that night before going home, I go to Mercury 5th ave. to buy my medicine. I’m coughing up to now. Then my husband called and asked me where I was. He told me to wait for them (he and his cousin) , that they would go to 5th ave.

We had dinner on a Chinese mini restaurant (karinderya). My husband, who was a joker, called his mother and asked if his wife (me) was home. I did heard her voice over the mobile phone. Her mother said something like “She’s not here.“, with like a question mark on her sentence.

My husband told her, that I told him, that I would be going home. Then he said, “Now where did she go?” His mother replied, “I don’t care if she would still be going home.”

I was okay then, I took it as a joke. But when we went home, then after a few hours, my husband revived the “joke”, asked me in front of his mother, “Did you runaway?” Then my mother made a sign to my husband, tapping his arm and saying “shhhh… shhhhh…” in a hushed voice.

That’s when I realized, she’s not really joking when she said that. I know my mother-in-law. When she’s not serious, she would play along. But she didn’t that time.

Is it the money? I mean, now that my husband is earning much more than I am (as of now, and as what they are expecting), it’s like they don’t need me anymore. I am not having an illusion. My mother-in-law once asked me why am I not withdrawing any money from the Internet. I told her that my last withdraw was last January. And now that it’s March and I hadn’t withdraw any money, that means that I am earning a monthly net income of PHP 25,000. Unlike before when I was earning PHP 30,000.00 or more per month, because of my online income. And again, because that my husband’s earnings is now more than mine.

Wait until I am earn bigger, bigger that people would drool on what I am earning. Hahaha joke, but really, one day, I would be earning more. I hope.
