After the wedding, the couple sat down to open the envelope and saw that it was from the husband’s ex-lover, inside there was 500 pesos and a pregnancy test, which shocked me deeply
On the wedding night, in a room still smelling of wedding flowers in a small hotel in Quezon City, Maria and Ramon did not hug each other sweetly but diligently… counted the envelopes. The two of them opened them and smiled, each envelope was a small memory – some people carefully wrote a whole page of wishes, some people accidentally put in a 20 peso bill.

But when they came to the light purple envelope, without a name, Maria paused for a moment:
– “Oh, this… doesn’t have anything written on it. Whose is it kaya ito?”

Ramon shrugged, then peeled off the glue. Inside was a neat 500 peso bill – and… a pregnancy test with two prominent red lines.

The air instantly froze.

Maria felt cold all over. She clenched the test stick in her hand, looking straight at her husband:
– “Ipaliwanag mo sa akin. Explain.”

Ramon turned pale, stammering:
– “Hindi ko alam… someone must have done something wrong on purpose.”

But right at the bottom of the envelope, Maria suddenly noticed a small, smudged line:
“I wish you happiness. What about the child?”

A name flashed in her mind: Liza – Ramon’s most persistent ex-lover.

The storm began

Maria choked:
– “Totoo ba? Is it your child? Are you planning to get married and then just brush it off?”

Ramon held his head, his voice trembling:
– “Hindi, Maria. Liza and I broke up a long time ago. She never said anything…”

On the table, dozens of envelopes were spread out, but only one was enough to shake the budding marriage.

Ramon’s phone suddenly rang. Message from an unknown number:
“Is the wedding gift satisfactory? Don’t think it’s easy to settle down. I’ll see you soon.”..
Read the whole story below the first comment…..Maria was speechless. She threw the phone on the bed, tears welling up:
– “Ano, Ramon? How are you going to answer me?”

Ramon squeezed his wife’s hand:
– “Bigyan mo ako ng isang araw. Give me a day. Tomorrow I’ll find Liza, I have to clarify everything.”

That wedding night, instead of sweetness, there were only heavy sighs and a bright red pregnancy test lying alone on a pile of envelopes.

Confrontation

The next afternoon, the door to the room opened. Liza appeared, her belly bulging, carrying a bag of baby clothes. A mocking smile on her lips:
– “Maria, do you dare to accept the truth?”

But Maria didn’t cry like Liza expected. She calmly pulled out a chair, put a thick stack of papers on the table: printouts of text messages, emails, even photos of Liza holding hands with another man named Carlo just a few months ago.

Maria’s voice was cold as steel:
– “Liza, I kept quiet because I wanted Ramon to have a chance to handle himself, but you’re too much. This is the chat where you made an appointment to go to Tagaytay with Carlo, this is the pregnancy test paper dated… months after you broke up with Ramon. If you’re sure, I suggest a DNA test. If the baby is Ramon’s, I’ll leave, give it up. I swear. But if not, you have to apologize and disappear from our lives.”

Liza stood there, her lips trembling, unable to say a word.

The storm passed

Three days later, Liza disappeared, erasing all traces on social media. No one saw her again.

On the table, there was still a purple envelope with a 500 peso bill and a pregnancy test – like a scar that reminded her of the storm that had just passed.

Maria closed the file, looked at Ramon:

“Now… let’s start over, okay?”

Ramon squeezed his wife’s hand, his eyes this time filled with gratitude and guilt. He understood that Maria not only kept her happiness, but also protected it with a rare resilience.
