SOPHIE
"You are cancelling our dinner?" takang tanong ni Drake na tiningnan pa ako kung nagbibiro ako. At nang makita niya na hindi ay napahawak ito sa noo. "Love, alam mo naman na matagal na itong nai-schedule and my parents are agitated--"
Napakurap ako sa sinabi niya at tiningnan siya mula sa ginagawa kong pagsusuklay ng buhok sa harap ng salamin. "Agitated to get us married?" Hindi ko alam kung bakit naiinis na ako na ayaw nila kaming tigilan sa kakatanong kung kailan namin balak magpakasal.
Drake and I are high school sweethearts. Twenty years na kami. There are times, and those times are too many, that we almost called it off. But Drake loves me too much o siguro dahil nasanay na siya na ako ang nasa tabi niya. Drake Mondragon is one of the most sought after bachelor in our town. May pagkasuplado pero sa totoo lang mahiyain kasi si Drake na inaakala ng iba ay aloof ito.
His family is one of the solid foundations why Aurora keeps on progressing. His family owned the Mondragon Steel, who built and constructed major government projects in Aurora and greater part of NCR. Being the eldest of the Mondragon, siya ang magmamana ng Mondragon Steel.
Many women in Aurora envied me because a man like Drake didn't let me go for twenty years. Lahat ng nagtangkang akitin at agawin si Drake ay mga nabigo lamang. Siguro nga kaya ako ganito kakumpiyansa na hindi magloloko si Drake dahil wala siyang ibang minahal kung hindi ako.
Drake sighed and raised his hands in surrender. "All I want is for them to be happy by seeing us together in front of a dinner. May masama ba roon?"
Ibinaba ko ang brush at hinarap ko siya. "Not when they started asking us, again and again, kailan ang kasal. Bakit hindi mo ipaintindi sa kanila na hindi pa tayo ready?"
"You mean na hindi ka pa ready," Drake said softly. He looked away when he saw that I was stunned by his statement. He raked his hair with his fingers in frustration. "I don't know, Sophie. I just feel tired that you keep on telling me that the thought of us getting married is irritating you." Tumalikod na ito at lumabas ng kuwarto.
I just stared at the closed door and feel that I will lose Drake, sooner or later. Humarap ako sa salamin. Nakaramdam ako ng takot.
Takot na baka this time, magsawa na si Drake sa akin at magpakasal sa iba.
