I walked out of the car and made my way through the hallway full of strangers, I mean college students. I never liked going to school. Simula nung nag-aral pa ako, I was homeschool-ed, tapos nung nag-college na ako, my dad decided to enrol me in a real school, a real university.
"Shiny!" I heard someone scream my name through the crowd and then I saw my friend Chloe approaching me from a distant.
"Oh asan ang boyfriend mong adik?" I asked nung mapansin kung hindi niya naman kasama yung boyfriend niyang ex-con.
"Hey shut up. He's sick, he can't go to school." she pouted. If I know, more like having a hangover for drinking and drugging his fat ass last night.
Pathetic love affairs.
"Yeah, whatever." I just ignored her usual blabbering. Ganun kasi siya, we are quite different that's why we get along....uh-sometimes.
Naglakad kami papunta sa room ng first class namin, until out of nowhere, nahagip ng mata ko ang ever so nymphomaniac Louie banging some pathetic slut on the corner of the corridor.
"Oohhh looks like someone's getting cozy." Chloe taunted from behind me.
I just snickered and ignored them.
Yeah, whatever. As if I care naman kung ang ASAWA ko nakikipaglandian sa lahat ng babae dito. Just the same guy I used to hang out with.
Ilang minuto pa pumasok na ang prof namin, si Maam Emmy.
Nag assign lang siya ng report tapos dinismiss na kami agad.
"Oh Shiny, can you come here?" tawag ni Maam Emmy.
She called me yung time na dapat lalabas na kami, ako na naman ang maiiwan dito?
"I'll wait you outside." Chloe told me as she went out.
"Yes maam?" I walked towards Maam Emmy.
"Are you still married to Louie, Shiny?" Maam Emmy asked. Nagulat naman ako sa tanung niya.
I just nodded.
"So bakit...?" she kept mum while finding the right term.
"Bakit po nakikipag landian siya sa ibang babae?" I said saying the words for her, "...kasi po, arranged nga po kami."
I said as politely as I could. Yun lang ang palagi kung sinasabi sa tuwing may nagtatanung na nakaka-alam tungkol sa'min ni Louie.
Hindi naman talaga namin tinatago ang kung anung meron man kami ni Louie. Hinahayaan lang namin na ang mga tao na mismo sa paligid namin ang makaalam.
Fortunately, wala naman talagang nakaka-alam because my kind-of-a-parents found ways so people wouldn't know about us. Ano ba naman kung malaman ng press na pinakasal yung anak nila for the sake of a contract? O diba, eh di sasama ang image ng company namin.
I looked at Maam Emmy and she gave me a warm smile.
Nagpaalam na agad ako and walked out of the room.
Paglabas ko, I found an empty hallway. I looked at my wrist watch, alas-5 na pala, kaya pala wala ng tao sa hallway.
AT WALA NA RIN SI CHLOE, ang magaling kung kaibigan, siguradong nag-text na naman ang tae niyang boyrfriend.
Naglakad ako sa mahabang hallway, may mga students pa naman pero konti na lang. Siguradong hinihintay na ako ni Larry sa labas, yung driver namin...I mean, ko. Since may sasakyan naman si Louie.
"Ah shit!" I cussed as I felt my back hit the wall. Some freakin asshole just grabbed me by the wrist and pinned me here. Should I be scared? More like HURTING!

RomanceOur marriage was meant as a contract to protect our families. It was forged to cement strong ties between allies. It was meant to keep our businesses intact and glued by the strongest form of trust. But if our marriage protects all that could be goo...
