Arrange Marriage to the Mafia Boss

Chapter 7

Chapter 7 : Obstacle

"Uuwi na'ko." I glanced at my friends and they looked at me weirdly.

"Sige, ingat ka ah? Gusto mo ihatid ka namin?" I nodded at him. I'm tired para mag-commute pa.

Plus, hindi naman ako sa bahay namin uuwi. I'm going home, yung bahay ko talaga which is yung bahay namin nila mom at dad.

I grabbed my phone and texted Thunder.

To : Thunder

Hindi pala ako makaka-uwi ngayon, I'm going to stay at Belle's house. May sleep party kami.

From : Thunder

Find my fucking care.

Napalunok ako sa sariling laway nang ma-basa ang reply niya. His right, anong pakialam niya? Stupid Amora bakit naman siya mag-aalala sa'yo?

"Hoy bebs, okay ka lang?" I nodded at Jacky.

"Ayaw ko talaga sa Monica na 'yan, may something sa kan'ya eh." I glanced at Jacky nang marinig ko ang sinabi niya, he was looking at Monica who's laughing with Thunder. Iniwas ko ang paningin ko sa kanila.

"Tara na."

The whole ride was silent.

"Nandito na bebs, babush! Ingats ka ah?" I smiled at Jacky and uttered my 'thank you.'

"Mom! Dad!" niyakap ko silang dalawa sa pisngi.

"Hi, love. Anong ginagawa mo dito? Nasa'n ang asawa mo?" asawa. I smiled bitterly.

"Busy siya ngayon mommy eh, ang sabi niya dito nalang muna ako para may mag-bantay sa'kin." pagrarason ko.

"Akala ko, nag-away kayo. Come here join us, let's eat our dinner...... Manang! Pakidagdagan nga ang plato nandito ang alaga mo." my mom chukled.

"Nako hija, ngayon ka lang naka-bisita ah? Pumayat ka ata?" hinalikan ko sa pisngi si Manang Trinidad.

"Busy po sa school." sagot ko nalang.

"Oh siya siya. Kumain na tayo." mommy said.

The whole dinner was fun, ngayon lang ulit ako makaka-pag dinner na may kasama kasi usually wala si Thunder.

After the dinner niyaya ko sila mommy sa itaas which is the rooftop. May nilatag kami na tent.

"Mom, dad." I called their attention.

"Yes, love?"

"The company's growing well po, right?" daddy nodded his head.

"C-can— can we end this arrange marriage?" I said directly.

"Why love? Nag-away ba kayo?" I shaked my head.

"Hindi naman po, uhm k-kasi pa'no po kapag may gusto kaming iba t-tapos 'yon yung gusto naming pakasalan? Pero di naman mapapakasalan kasi nakatali kami sa taong d-di n-namin m-mahal?" I shook my head.

"Tama ka naman doon, but we have a contract anak. Kaya mo bang mag-hintay ng 4 more years? We promise that after that wala na, we'll end it up. 'Di kasi pwedeng agad-agad na bawiin 'yon." I nodded.

"Okay, mom. I c-can still w-wait pa naman." I smiled, yung ngiting peke.

"I'm sorry anak for putting you in this situation." they both kissed my forehead.

I can wait, pero pa'no si Thunder at Monica? Can they wait too? It will took them 4 years bago sila pwedeng makasal. Am I a great obstacle between them? Ako ba yung pader na nakaharang sa kanila? In order to save our company I ruined someone's love life. They supposed to live happily. Guilt is eating me.

Kaya siguro gusto ni Thunder na bawal na may makaalam sa relasyon namin dahil he don't want Monica to be hurt. Or ayaw niyang masira yung image niya na nag-two-two time siya.

Nakatulog ako dahil sa kaka-isip. I woke up with my mom and dad on my side. Sabay kaming nag-breakfast. Mom told me na kailangan ko nang umuwi sa bahay namin ni Thunder dahil baka daw miss niya na 'ko. Na alam ko namang hindi. His happy with Monica bakit niya naman ako ma-mi-miss?

"Take care, love." daddy kissed my forehead bago ako lumabas sa kotse.

Sobrang aga pa kaya wala pang masyadong estudyante at mamaya pa talaga ang class ko. Nag-pahatid lang ako ng maaga kasi mom is starting to ask questions na ayaw ko naman sagutin.

"Amora!" someone called my name kaya napatingin ako doon.

"Troy!" I smiled at him.

"Coffee?" I nodded at him, sumakay kami sa kanyang sasakyan. He ate while I was just drinking coffee. After that bumalik na kami.

"Thank—" naputol yung sasabihin ko dahil may humatak sa'kin.

Dinala niya 'ko sa isang liblib na lugar. Walang masyadong tao dito.

"Where the fuck have you been?!" his voice thundered.

"P-pardon?" nag-paalam na 'ko sa kan'ya ah? And he said 'find my  fucking care.'

"Where the fuck have you been woman? Hinintay kita buong gabi!"

"Nag— nag-sleep over kami nila Belle!"

"Liar! You slept over with them but kayo ang magkasama ng basketball player na 'yon? Do you think I'm stupid? I already asked Belle and your fucking gay friend kung alam ba nila kung nasaan ka but they answered 'they don't know' then now sasabihin mong you slept over with them?" I stayed silent kaya pinagpatuloy niya ang sasabihin niya.

"Tell me where the fuck have you been and what's your relationship with that fucking basketball player."

"I— I went somewhere! And you don't have to know kung nasaan ang somewhere na 'yon. And wala kaming relasyon ni Troy! His just trying to be friendly. And pwede ba? I thought we need to mind our own business, bakit 'di mo gawin? You — ikaw ang gumawa ng rules natin then why can't you do it?" hindi niya pwedeng malaman na nanggaling ako sa bahay nila mommy pag-hihinalaan niya 'ko. And I can't afford that he will know what I'm planning to do.

At kagaya ng lagi niyang ginagawa he left me hanging, again.

Pumasok ako sa klase ko na dala-dala ang sama ng loob. Baka gusto niyo? Libre nalang.

Wala akong isang taong pinansin even Jacky, Belle, and Troy. I went silent the whole day. Kung may kailangan gawin ginagawa ko kaagad, ending pagod na pagod ako. I went home after, wala si Thunder.

I went up to my room at nag-shower. After that I cook and ate my own dinner. I washed my used plates and sleep after. This day is just exhausting.

To be continue...
