Epilogue
Napabuntong hininga ako nang makitang umiyak si Ybon sa harapan ko. I don't know what to say, but I just broke up with her. Sinabi ko kasi sa kanyang ikakasal na ako sa iba. I needed to end our relationship before anything bad happen.
My mom doesn't trust me after the incident that changed my whole life. That stupid drug raid! I wasn't even part of it, nagkataon lang na nandun ako sa lugar na yun just to chill and think of what will happened after Papa said that I'll be marrying soon. Doon ako dumiretso but yeah something happen. And now, to bring back my mom's trust I need to obey their request to get married.
"Ezi, stay for a minute." Ani Papa.
Tumungo sa akin si Kila bago naunang lumabas ng office ni Papa. Naupo ako sa visitor's chair nang may ilapag syang picture sa harapan ko.
"This is Elliot Ong's daughter. Agatha Christie Ong, the manager in charge of Ong Expertise."
Kinuha ko ang picture at pinakatitigan, the woman looked so fierce. Kinda remind me of a one particular man that I knew.
"Oh, right! She's Allen Ong's sister?"
"Yep. Do you have any idea what's with her?"
"Yeah." Kibit balikat ko.
I just knew that the moment he showed me the picture, I knew that this woman is going to be my wife soon.
Getting married is not really a big deal nowadays, I get to enjoy myself before I finally get to know Agatha. I even did some researched about her, I wanna know something about my wife to be. Nakikita ko sya sa ibang charity event na kasama si Allen Ong, minsan si Tito Elliot. And there at times that I will saw her in one of the bars every weekend night. This woman is just like me, getting to enjoy herself before we finally knot the tie.
And now, I'm watching her as she sway her hips and dance herself. Just by mere looking at her, you can say that Agatha looked like a goddess. That even without doing, she can seduce you that easily.
Binasa ko ang labi ko habang pinapanuod sya. Seems like she's enjoying herself also before we get married.
"Sir Ezi, heto na po ang ibang papers." Tumango ako kay Kila.
"Kila, a coffee please."
Pagkatapos kong pirmahan ang lahat ng papel ay kumatok si Papa sa opisina ko. He mentioned that we'll be going to Ong Expertise for today. I incharge everything to Kila since I trust her. Personally speaking, I don't have any issue with Agatha. Seems like both of us were open minded with this upcoming arrange marriage.
"You sure with this, man?" Binangga ni Gray ang baso sa basong hawak ko. "Kasal ito."
"We will both have our benefit with this."
"Anong sabi ni Aldrich? I thought sya ang ipapain sa kasal?"
"Tumanggi, masyadong devoted sa trabaho."
"So final, decision?"
Nilagok ko ang laman ng baso at kumibit balikat.
"Wala naman akong magagawa."
"Goodluck, man."
Papa informed that we will be heading to Ong's house to formally announce the marriage. Habang nasa biyahe kami, nag iisa isa si Kila sa akin ng mga gagawing trabaho.
"We're here!" Anunsyo ni Papa.
"I'll talk to you later, Kila."
"Opo sir."
Inayos ko ang suot na dress shirt at sumunod kay Papa papasok. Elliot Ong welcomed us with an open arms. Matagal na itong kaibigan ni Papa, nakikita ko lagi na naglalaro sila ng golf.
