LIVING a life that is yours but being controlled was the worst thing for Krizzia. Para siyang iniluwal sa mundo para maging isang puppet o aso na sunudsunuran sa amo.

In her case, her master is her own mother. Who knew nothing but to make her life moved according to her plan. She was like a moving puppet in a stage show. Putting collar in her neck whenever she's out her mother sight.

Pinilit niya ang sarili na ngumiti sa lalaking kaharap niya, he was blabbering something or should she say 'Bragging' about his wealth, at kung paano siya makikinabang kapag ito ang pinili niya. She gulped and slightly pulled the collar that is connected to her dress. It was choking her.

Ang nanay niya ang pumili mismo sa damit na suot niya. She can't breathe properly because of the corset she's wearing.

Krizzia didn't heed any attention to the man, pasimple lang siyang kumakain. Tatapusin niya lang ang pagkain at aalis na siya, she was supposed to be inside her condo, doing her lesson plans and some of her visual aids. Or maybe, baby sitting Khaila. The daughter of her friend, Angelyn.

"How about you? Do you have any interest in business? Kasi kapag pumayag ang mommy mo na ako ang mapangasawa mo, you need to work on my company. I mean teaching was good, but we need to be practical here, Krizzia. Business can make more money." Anito.

Krizzia pursed her lips. Hindi niya gusto ang tabas ng dila nito.

She blew a loud breath and sipped on her apple juice. "Business is not my thing, I tried so many times. And it's all failed. Teaching is my passion, and the salary is good, it's enough to feed me, pay my bills and spoiled me. And teaching satisfies me." Krizzia answered honestly.

Umiling ang lalaki na parang na dissapoint sa naging sagot niya. Not that she cares about it. Pabor sa kanya na hindi siya nito magustuhan. Her date for tonight dropped his utensils, pinanood niya lang ang lalaki na magpunas ng bibig.

He looked at her and sighed. "I don't want a wife who doesn't even know how to handle my business. Sayang ang ganda at talino mo, Krizzia."

"No, it's not. Nagagamit ko ang talino ko sa pagtuturo, hindi 'yon sayang." She smiled.

Dinampot niya ang bag at kumuha ng pera sa wallet niya. She put the exact amount of the food she eaten, tonight. There's no way that he'll let this man payed for her foods. Baka hindi siya makatulog dahil sa sakit ng tiyan. Malay ba niya kung masama ang loob ng lalaki ngayon sa ginagawa niya.

"You don't want a wife who knows nothing about your business. Then, it's a tie. I don't like a husband who's too self centered, mas mahal pa ang negosyo kaysa sa mapapangasawa." She said and smiled at him sarcastically.

The sound of her heels made her feel like a boss. A queen. Pero imbes na korona ang nakasuot sa kanya, isang nakakasakal na invisible choker ang nakalagay sa kanya.

Hindi na magtataka si Krizzia kung bigla nalang tatawag sa kanya ang ina para sermunan siya. Ilang blind dates na ba ang hindi gumana ngayong buwan? Hindi na niya halos mabilang dahil sing bilis pa ni 'The Flash' ang mommy niya sa pag s-set ng magiging ka date niya sa susunod na araw.

Nakokompormiso ang trabaho niya dahil dito. Mukhang kailangan na naman niyang mag puyat at uminom ng sandamakmak na kape para lang magising.

Dama ni Krizzia ang pagod sa buong katawan niya nang maka uwi siya sa condo niya. Ibinagsak ang katawan sa kama at hindi na muna nag-abala na mag linis ng katawan.

Dealing with a man who's to full of himself was too tiring for her. Mas nakakapagod pa 'yon kaysa sa trabaho niya. She grabbed her phone and went online. Linilibang niya ang sarili sa internet.
