Romancing Dominance [BL][COMPLETED]

chapter 4 | romancing dominance

Standing on the balcony, bathing in the summer air, I am realizing how life can be if I grew up here.

Will life be the same?

Parang ang hirap naman maging bratinela sa ganitong lugar.

A place ideal for a home and no mess.

Somewhat, I'm seeing a new light of why Dad chose this for me. He might have been thinking about for this a while now.

Am I happy that I was sold off for a marriage?

No.

Though I take into consideration how much Dad was preparing me for this.

I smiled bitterly at the situation I put myself into.

The small town of Maraya, a place of Luningning, a newfound place.

The small crime rate, the small community, and the simplicity of people; a refreshing view of the mountainous space.

If settling in would help me adjust, then I would embrace it wholeheartedly. Well, not wholeheartedly, but I'll be there. In fact, I am getting excited about the things I could learn and experience in Maraya.

It's too early to be sentimental about this place.

Learning things such as laundry and cleaning my own plate after eating pales the city life in comparison to the life lessons I learned in this place in a short span of time.

Simula nang magkamalay ako sa mundo, hindi na nawala ang media at chismis sa buhay naming, the politics, ang mga elitista, and my relatives, lahat sila ay pinag-uusapan na ang magiging kinabukasan ng yaman namin.

When they realized that I hold a great trait in me (being a carrier), they didn't even hesitate on linking me to a different bachelor at my age for the expansion of our name's wealth.

Maybe, being here is a getaway from them. A decision that I should be thankful, really. But I can't.

Napatingin ako sa himpapawid when a colorful saranggola flew with the cold breeze.

Ang isa ay nadagdagan pa ng isa.

Hangga't sa mas dumami pa ito.

Mula rito ay naririnig ko ang tawanan at sigawan ng mga bata na naglalaro 'di kalayuan sa bahay.

Nilabas ko ang phone and took some photos of it.

It was my first time seeing these displays!

"Gusto mo bang puntahan sir Ishie? O gawa tayo ng sariling saranggola! Marunong ako!"

Napatingin ako kay Glends nang marinig ko siyang nagsalita mula sa tabi ko.

Saan ba galing ang babaeng 'to at pabigla-bigla na lang sumusulpot?

"Alam mo ba na hindi ko naranasan ang maging bata." Ang madamdamin kong sabi sa kaniya pero ang bobo tinawanan ba naman ako.

"Si sir Ishie naman talaga mapagbiro! Eh papaano naman kayo lumaki kung hindi kayo naging bata? Ano yun, wow magic? Don't me!"

Oh em gee!

I regretted being friends with this stupid dork. Gosh!

"Silly, of course not! Hindi 'yun ang ibig kong sabihin." Ang sabi ko na natatawa na rin dahil sa malakas nitong tawa.

Ang saya at nakakairita lang na may ganito kang kaibigan.

"Ang ibig sabihin ko ay hindi ko naranasan ang maging katulad ng isang bata. Alam mo 'yung maglaro at maglaro lang buong maghapon. Hindi ko tuloy mapigilang mainngit ang mga simpleng bagay na nagpapasaya sa inyo."
