Things will end up the way fate wants it to. Kung nakatadhanang maghiwalay kayo, maghihiwalay kayo kahit anong higpit ng kapit niyo sa isa't isa.

"This will be your room, and this is Gigi. She will be your personal servant." Ngumiti at yumuko ang katabing babae ni Scott.

Tipid akong tumango. "Thanks, Scott. Gusto ko sanang magpahinga na."

"Sure. We had a long trip so you must be tired." Hinawakan niya ang kamay ko at hinalikan ang engagement ring sa daliri ko. "Take a rest, babe. Just call Gigi if you need anything."

"Okay..."

I close the door between us and inhale deeply. Nanghihinang naglakad ako palapit sa malaking kama at pabagsak na umupo doon. I close my eyes tightly. Napahilamos ako ng mukha at sinabunutan ang sarili.

It's been a month since I last saw Dimitri but I'm not avoiding him. Nalaman ni Scott ang tungkol sa amin ni Dimitri at kinuha niya ako nung gabi din na 'yon.

Scott came hours after Dimitri left that night. He was furious. We had a fight and he forced to take me and make me live with him on his house. I was under house arrest for a week and the next two weeks, I became busy with Kuya Cadler and Amber's wedding. Bantay sarado ni Scott lahat ng galaw ko at hindi niya din hinahayaan na lapitan ako ng kahit sino. It's like I have a tight leash on my neck and its suffocating me, but I can't do anything to cut off the leash.

I guess, this leash will be my companion for the next year of my life if Scott and I will get married, which will happen two days from now.

Everything is settled. Mommy, Scott's mother,  settle it all. The invitation was distributed a week before our wedding and we already shoot our pre-wedding photos. Mga litrato na kinikilabutan ako tuwing nakikita ko.

Alam kong huli na... pero gusto kong umatras sa lahat ng 'to at tumakbo palayo.

"Hi, my love..." I smile at my son's face on the screen.

"Come home, Mama..." His ash orbs flickered in sadness.

Bumigat ang paghinga ko. Mabilis kong tinakpan ang camera at pinunasan ang tumulong luha sa mata ko. Huminga ng malalim bago muling nagpakita sa anak ko.

"I'll be home in a month, baby. Will you wait for Mama?"

"Opo..." Ngumuso siya.

I badly want to hug and kiss my son. I miss him so much but I need to endure all of this a little longer... for his sake. For his freedom.

I hope that Dimitri would understand me... And forgive me for this.

Tulala ako sa harap ng salamin. Walang magawa habang inaayusan ng stylist kahit labag sa loob ko ang lahat ng nangyayari. I want to embrace my situation but I also want to runaway from this. I have no choice. I don't have the power to disagree. I couldn't stop this madness.

"Ang ganda ganda mo, Señorita!" Gigi shrieked.

I force myself to smile on her remarks. Nanatili ang tingin ko sa sariling repleksyon at hindi pinansin ang pamumuri ng mga kasama ko dito sa loob ng kuwarto. I don't like complements about my looks. You could also say that I hate my face because I've been through situations where my face is to blame.

Like this one.

Naiwan si Gigi sa loob ng kuwarto kasama ko. "Will you please leave me for a while?" Pakiusap ko sa kaniya.
