MARIA EVERLEIGH

I'm currently at the Manila City Hall with the Mayor in his own Office to process the documents of our marriage.
Medyo naging busy ako dahil ako lang ang bukod tanging nagproceso sa mga papeles para sa kasal namin ni Zach.

Our marriage isn't happy, syempre sino bang magiging masaya kung kaya lang naman may kasalang naganap dahil yun sa pagpilit ko kay Zach!

Hindi Arrange Marriage ang nangyari sa amin ni Zach yung tipong dahil sa companya ay kailangang magpakasal ang itinakda ng kaniya-kaniyang magulang with the opposite sex. Zach and I got married it's because I Force Him to marry me or should I say I threat him with his Fiancé's life?

I couldn't believe to myself that I can go this far just have the man of my dreams! I don't know myself anymore though.

Ang sakit isipin na ikinasal lang kami ni Zach dahil sa napilitan lamang siya, well I know naman since then that he doesn't have any feelings towards me ni hindi nga niya ako kilala sa personal eh, ganun niya ako ka di gusto! Hayyy nako!

After how many hours na pag aasikaso sa mga documents na kailangan ay natapos ko rin lahat tsaka ko napagdesisyunan na umalis na sa City Hall para umuwi at makapagpahinga na.
I'll just move in Zach's House tomorrow dahil sa pagod na pagod talaga yung katawan ko tsaka I don't get a enough rest nor sleep after what happened to the both of us 2 days ago, medyo masakit pa nga ang kaselan ko eh tsk!

Pagkalabas ko ng building ay agad kong tinungo ang nakaparada kong magarang sasakyan sa parking lot ng building nila.
I unlocked the car door using the car keys and I immediately open the door sabay hagis ng purse ko sa kabilang upuan na katabi ng Driver's Seat. The moment I sat in the car seat my tears rolled down in my cheeks!

Di ko pala kayang magpa as if na okay ang lahat, puta ang sakit sa puso eh.

I wiped my tears away and heavily sighed.

I can endure this, I can endure the pain.

Pinaharurot ko agad yung sasakyan ko pauwi sa mansyon ng magulang ko.

Half an hour of driving ay narating ko rin sa wakas ang bahay namin, I parked my car in our garage then get out.

"Mom, Dad... I'm home!"

May narinig akong tumatakbo pababa ng hagdan and I know who it was. It's Mom.

"Mom! Why do you keep on running ba? You're not a kid anymore geez!"
Mom just rolled her eyes.

She walk slowly when she's almost at my spot.

"Sweetie, It's not that I like doing it you know? I only run through the stairs when it is needed just everytime when you came home though." she pouted her lips after.

"Mom...I just want you to be careful eh, that's all."

"Fine sweetie... I won't na po." I smiled to her.

"How was your day sweetie? How's your appointment with the Mayor mmm?"

"It was fine Mom, I got it all done."

"That's good to hear sweetie, would you mind if I ask what did you arrange Anak? You didn't told us eh."

"I'll tell you when I'm ready Mom, as for now sasarilinin ko po muna."
Napatango lang si Mommy sa sinabi ko.

"Can I excuse myself Mom? I want to go inside my room now eh...I'm kinda tired."

"Oh yes sweetie, sure go ahead."

I kissed my Mom's cheeks and hurriedly run through the stairs.
I know that my mother already sense there's something wrong with me and that's what I'm trying to avoid for them not to know what's the real deal.

Every Mother's Knows best indeed.

Nang marating ko na ang kwarto ko ay agad akong bumulagta tsaka dumapa sa kama.

Biglang pumasok sa isip ko na kung di ko ba ganito kamahal si Zach, magagawa ko rin ba ito?

Gosh! What a Mess you did Everleigh!

Dahil sa kakaisipi ng kung ano-ano ay di ko namalayang hinila na pala ako ng antok at nakatulog ng di ko namamalayan.

Nagising ako dahil sa ingay ng katok na galing sa labas ng kwarto ko, maybe that was our Maid?

Bumangon ako't nilapitan ang pintuan.

Nang tuluyan ko ng nabuksan ang pintuan ay di ko na ako nag abala pang tignan ito at harapin, instead I bowed down my headw 'coz I'm still sleepy "What is it po Manang? What do you want po?" I yawned as I spoke.

Maya-maya pa ay di parin nagsalita si Manang so I decided to look up and to my surprise it wasn't Manang who's in front of me right now! It's no other than Zach Andrew...My Husband!

"Zach? What are you doing here?" napalinga ako sa paligid para tingnan kung may iba pabang tao.

"I should be the one who ask that Mrs. Montreal, what are you still doing here? We're already married right? You should move in with me and live with my goddamn house!" frustated na sabi niya.

"Lower down your voice Zach! My parents doesn't know a thing about us! If you don't want them to know about the real score to the both of us, you should put your frustations against me in a right place and time!" nagpipigil ako ng galit nang sabihin ko iyon.

Napapikit si Zach at bumuntong hininga.

"Ah! Fine, shall we go now? Btw, I'm here to fetch you my wife! Because the woman that I've been waiting for hours to Move and Live in with me isn't in my house yet! only to find out that you're just sleeping all day?" annoyed na yarn? tsk!

"I'm not ready Zach...I mean my things and the other stuffs of mine aren't ready as well. I actually planned that I'll move in your house tomorrow and so there's nothing for you to worry about."

"Geez woman! You're so slow you know and I don't like it damnit!"

And so? Why is he acting like this?
tsk! This guy is really a very Big Red Flag!

"You shouldn't be doing this Zach, I'm just your wife in paper not in real! Also you don't love me, so stop giving me mix signals will you?" I slammed hard the door of my room and locked it while he's still in there, stood frozen.

Makalipas ang ilang minuto ay siguro natauhan na si Zach dahil kumatok ito sa pinto ng kwarto ko
"Hey Leigh, we'll be leaving after 2 hours so get prepared, okay? I'll fetch you again later."

"Go away Zach, even if just for now only."

Biglang natahimik sa labas so I guess he left already.

After the confrontation earlier with my husband, I decided to packed my things up and slid it inside the bags that I prepared.

I should leave in here and move in with him, I don't want my parents getting involve with this stuff na mismong ako ang may gawa! simula palang.
