You! Who Stole My Heart [COMPLETED]

Chapter 25.2

**
Khien's POV

(London, 6 months ago)

"Dad, I don't wanna marry Audie."

He stopped from what he was doing and looked at me with rage in his eyes.

I expected that. I know he would be really mad pero buo na ang desisyon ko. I won't get married unless...

"You came back to tell me that?"

Lakas loob akong tumango. But he just smirked at me.

"You don't know what you're getting yourself into. Do you expect me to just pretend like it doesn't happen? Have you forgotten your promise to me before this? I agreed with you to pursue what profession you wanted for the condition of marrying the Leano's one and only daughter. And now you're telling me you don't want to marry her?" He smirked again.  "Son, wake up."

Naikuyom ko ang kamay ko to control myself. "But you can't do that to me, Dad. I've grown up now. I have the right to decide for myself."

"But that's not the issue here, Khien!" He shouted and once again, I've done it. I'm disappointing him again. "You agreed on this matter seven years ago! Both families were anticipating your wedding! And here you are, telling me these stuffs?"

Natahimik ako. Alam ko naman eh. Alam kong malaking gulo 'to. But I'm not happy with it. I'm not happy anymore. I was determined to change my Dad's decision pagkabalik ko pero ngayon na involve na rin pati ang reputation nya, hindi ito magiging madali. Kelan nga ba naging madali? And I'm regretting my sudden, reckless decision.

(One month, before the wedding)

"This will be perfect for you. What do you think, Khien?" -Ma

Wala na ba talaga akong pwedeng gawin? Pakiramdam ko kasi unti-unti na kong nawawala sa sarili ko. This is not what I want for my life. They're taking it like it was theirs.

"Nak, huy!" I glanced at my mother whose busy choosing a wedding gown with Audie. "What's wrong with you? You're here but looks like you're not."

I sighed as I stood up. "Sorry. I feel so tired." I looked at Audie. "You can choose whatever you wanted. I don't mind at all. Ikaw naman magsusuot nyan." I walked away from them and head upstairs.

"Khien.." She called out but I ignored it.

I feel sorry for it, of course. But she should feel sorry for herself too. Doesn't she have feelings? I always keep on hurting her. Hindi ba sya napapagod sa sitwasyon naming dalawa?

Veranda

*sigh*

Tahimik lang ako na nakatingin sa paligid. This whole situation was all my fault. Di naman 'to mangyayari kung pinag-isipan kong mabuti ang desisyon na yun. Most of all, hindi ko din kasi alam na darating sya sa buhay ko..

The girl I wanna be with.

Tss. Napangiti ako nang mahagip ng mata ko ang fountain sa garden.

"Maganda 'tong garden mo. So fresh tsaka nakakatanggal ng stress. Lalo pang gumanda dahil sa fountain! Alam mo bang kasama sa dream house ko ang fountain sa garden?"

I felt a sudden pain in my chest reminiscing that.

Every day that passes by, I'm slowly getting aware of how deep this feelings of mine for her. And as time goes by, it's getting harder and harder to escape this mess. I'm starting to run out of ideas. I'm starting to feel afraid of the outcome.
