When I dream about You

Xlll

Nag aalalang napaupo si Matthew sa sofa sa receiving room ng suite ni Sheena. Hindi niya akalaing makikita niya ito sa ganuong kalagayan. She had to take prescription sleeping pills. Kung hindi malamang hindi siya makakatulog.

Kanina sa opisina ng magsabi ito na ayaw niyang magpakasal, naisip niyang tulungan ito. But seeing her like that. Nabuo ang resolve niya para tuparin ang nasa last will ng magulang nila. He has to make sure shes well taken care off.

Kahit magpatuloy pa siya sa pagmomodel niya. He will not allow her to marry her boyfriend. He has to take charge. Naalala niya ang promise niya sa sarili na aalagaan niya ang mommy Trish nila at si Sheena.

 

He will do everything in his power to make her agree with the marriage. Kahit na kailangan niya itong i-manipulate ng kaunti ang he needs Dwight to help him.

MATTHEW'S POV

I called Dwight early in the morning para umpisahan ang plano namin. I will act like gagawa ako ng paraan para hindi na kami ikasal and then Dwight will tell Sheena how I slaved in the company for three years. We plan on guilt tripping her so she will agree to marry me.

Inorasan ko ang tulog niya usually the drug will allow her to sleep 12 hours straight so ahe can rest. By 11:00 am nagugutom na ako. I called for brunch delivered to her suite. When it arrived I knock on her door to wake her up.

Shes intently looking up at the ceiling. Akala ko hindi niya alam na pumasok ako sa kwarto niya.

I waS mildly surprised when she call my name.

Matthew... She said it so softly na kung hindi ko siya tinitingnan hindi ko malalaman na tinatawag niya ako.

Yes Sheena...? Im waiting for her to speak.

Lets get married. Matatag niyang sabi. I looked at her face and sat on the bed beside her.

You dont have to do it... I told her truthfully. Biglang lumipad sa bintana ang balak ko. Looking at her face I cant deny her a chance to be happy with her boyfriend. Last will be damned!

I ....I'll marry you after my birthday...but...it...I...
Hindi niya matapos ang sasabihin niya. Shes struggling with something.

Its in paper only...
Pagtatapos ko sa sasabihin niya.
Napatingin siya sa akin biting her lower lip. Then she nods her head.

I felt relieved. She will marry me. And I will be able to take care of her. Kahit na sa papel lang. Im still happy. Dwight was surprised when we went to dinner and told him. He didnt expect it to be this easy.
