So Close Yet So Far (ON HOLD)

Chapter 8

I laid on my bed after talking to my parents. Nasabi ko na sa kanila na pumapayag ako sa kasal.

But I didn't tell them the full story and the reason why.

Hindi ko na din mabilang kung ilang beses ba sakin natanong ng aking mga magulang kung sigurado ba ako sa aking biglaang desisyon.

Hindi ko sinabi na nagkausap kami ni Hugo at nagkaroon ng kasunduan.

It's been a week after Hugo and I had a talk at ngayun ko lang naisipan na sabihin sa mga magulang ko.

Our family and the Lardizabal will be having a meeting tomorrow kaya dito nalang din ako natulog sa Bahay ng aking mga magulang.

The meeting will be about the merging of both of our companies. After the Lardizabal heard the news from my parents na pumapayag na ako, they immediately set a meeting.

I'm not sure if I am making the right decision. I can tell that Hugo is still deeply in love with his ex.

Base on how he acted when I asked about the.

She's his first love in the first place, Matagal din ang pinagsamahan nila. 7 years is not a joke hindi ito basta basta lang kaya hindi din ito basta bastang mawawala.

Marami silang pingsamahan I am curious what happened to them but I guess it has nothing to do with me so I should just let it go.

I wonder if they didn't broke up will he still offer me the business proposal or no.

Probably no he would've stayed with his love rather than stay with a fixated marriage.

Nalungkot ako sa kaisipang we are bound to be married but not because he is inlove with me.

I come back to my senses when I realized what I was thinking. Ikakasal kami para sa ikakabuti ng aming negosyo hindi dahil mahal namin ang isa't isa kaya hindi ko na ito dapat iniisip pa.

I shouldn't worry about them

"Bahala na." ang tanging nasabi ko bago nakatulog.

My parents and I are in the car on our way to the meeting place na pinili ng mga Lardizabal. Tito Brylle and my cousins are also on their wa, magkakasunod lang ang aming sasakyan.

After we arrive at the place Brianna walked directly to me to accompany me. Siya lang ang nakakaalam ng lahat alam din niya ang tungkol sa napag-usapan namin ni Hugo. We don't keep secrets from each other.

As we enter the private room almost all of the Lardizabal are here.

I surveyed the place at Nakita ko na the young male Lardizabals are complete including Trevor and Hugo.

I suddenly remember what happened between me and Trevor, we never had a talk again after that encounter dahil sa gabing din yun kami nakapag usap ni Hugo.

I feel ashamed of what I did but I know I shouldn't feel that way and I should just leave it behind me, nangyari na ito.

As we sat down, agad na nagsimula na ang pormal na pag-uusap ng nakakatanda nagtuloy ito pero hindi ako gaano na nakikinig.

I looked at Hugo nakikinig siya sa usapan ng mga nakakantanda but still showing no emotion at paminsan ay sumasagot ito pag tinatanong ang kanyang opinyon.

The last time we talked napagkasunduan namin na wag na sabihin sa aming magulang ang napag-usapan but I am the one who asked him for that, ayukong isipin ng mga magulang ko na he forced me onto this marriage

Bigla akong kinabahan ng bigla siyang tumingin sakin.

He remained staring at me for quite some time na para bang binabasa nito ang iniisip ko. Natigil lang ito ng pukawin ng kanyang ama ang kanyang atensyon.
