HIS LOVELESS PROPOSAL

CHAPTER 6

Chapter 6

My hands are shaking and trembling while waiting for Elijah to arrive. I didn’t know that days would feel like a time lapse it’s so fast. Parang kailan lang na binigyan niya ako ng singsing pero ngayon kikitain ko na ang parents niya.

My family was not here because of work and school. Kaya ako lang mag-isa sa bahay at kanina pa palakad-lakad. Hindi ako mapakali at para akong hihimatayin sa kaba.

I mean, I can’t blame my self if I was like this because I will meet his parents! That’s freaking understandable! It would not be easy for me to act perfectly in front of them. Knowing that this is just a contract marriage. A loveless one.

What if may masabi akong hindi naaayon? What if mabuko kami bigla dahil nagkamali lang ako ng nasabi? What if hindi magkatugma ang mga pinagsasasabi namin ni Elijah? It would be so bad if his parents will found out what was happening between us. It's possible that he can’t take his inheritance. At ayokong mangyari ‘yon.

A loud honk made me stopped from my deep reverie. Cold sweat gushing throughout my entire skin. Mas domoble ang kaba na naramdaman ko kanina pa.

Before I got out, I looked at my self in the mirror if I really looked better and ready to go. Ayokong magmukhang constipated kapag kaharap ko na ang parents niya. I don’t want them to give me bad impression either. Conscious na conscious ako sa itsura ko pero nang makitang sobrang ganda ko, napanatag na ako.

I only wore my one-sleeve black sleeveless top and pair it with a beige trouser. My long legs were emphasized as I wear my three inch stiletto. Talagang pinaghandaan ko ang araw na ‘to at bumili ng pormal na damit para sa espesyal na pagkikitang ito. As much as possible, I would like this day to be a memorable one and happy.

Ngumiti ako sa salamin bago kinuha ang purse na binili ko lang kahapon saka lumabas ng bahay. I closed our house once I secured everything is okay. Hinanda ko ang ngiti para sa kanya pero napahinto ako nang makita siyang nakasandal sa kanyang kotse.

Oo na, palagi kong inaamin sa sarili ko na sobrang gwapo talaga niya. But seeing him leaning on his car with his arm crossed, he looks really prefect. His dark long sleeve polo were hugging his body I could see every biceps he had. Nakarolyo hanggang siko ang kanyang sleeve kaya kitang-kita ang maugat at malaki niyang braso. I also noticed the first two buttons were open, giving me a sight to his beautiful collarbone.

Para siyang modelo sa kanyang suot na jeans at kung hindi ko lang siya kilala ay aakalain ko ng may fashion show rito.

“Hey.”

I forced a smile. Bahagyang naka-awang kasi ang labi ko dahil sa pagtitig sa kanya. At mukhang napansin niya ang paghagod ko ng tingin sa kanyang kabuuan dahil sa nakakaloko niyang ngiti.

Napasimangot ako.

“Do you think it’s still early?” I asked formally. Hindi ‘yon ang intensyon ko pero dahil sa hiya at kaba ay iyon ang naging tunog.

“Hmm? I don’t think so.” Pinasadahan niya ng tingin ang mamahalin niyang relo sa kanyang bisig para tingnan ang oras. “we can get to the house five minutes early.”

“Hindi natin susunduin ang parents mo?” alanganin kong tanong. As far as I can remember, his parents is in abroad. London, I think? Nakalimutan ko na pero alam kong nasa ibang bansa sila.

“They got home last night. They’re already preparing breakfast for us.”

I looked at him, shocked at his statement. “Nakauwi na sila?”

He looks amused seeing me being frustrated here.

“Hmm, kagabi pa. Excited na nga silang makita ka.”
