The Playful Destiny (Sandro Marcos)

Chapter 4

"Ano? Si Calista may gawa nyan?" Gulat kong sambit, I never told her to hurt Elijah, I only said to talk to him at akala ko after semester break nya sya kakausapin.

"Babe are you sure you're okay? Gusto mo umuwi ako dyan? Gagamutin ko since ikaw lang mag isa sa bahay nyo? I'll buy medicines and-" Biglang pinutol ni Elijah ang pagsasalita ko

"No need na babe, I can do this on my own, and I miss you also, see you sa next semester, bye babe." Sambit ni Elijah at ibinaba na ang telepono, I really thought kakausapin lang talaga sya nang maayos ni Calista but I remembered namimisikal pala yan so what to expect lol.

I just went to my balcony to look at the beautiful city lights sa labas dahil nasestress nanaman ako kay Calista at Elijah, it's 9 pm na and naririnig ko lang ang ingay ng mga crickets kasi katabi ng bahay namin ay gubat na at palabas non ay syudad na ulit. I saw Raphael taking a look again in the city lights, maybe he really liked the view here at night kaya palagi siguro syang nandito, I stared at Raphael's back while he's just looking at the view without doing anything, I admit that he's quiet handsome, pero walang tatalo sa gwapo ni Elijah kahit maga ang pisngi haha lol.After 30 minutes he decided to go back inside but he saw me looking at him.

"Di ka pa ba matutulog Ana? It's 10 pm na." Sambit nya.

"Later nalang ako matutulog because I still want to enjoy the view here, ikaw mauuna ka na ba?" Tanong ko.

"Uhm yes, I have to take a good rest because mahaba nanaman ang araw bukas, may caravan ulit eh, sige mauna na ko ha, goodnight." Sambit nya at nginitian ako.

"Goodnight din Raphael." Sambit ko at ngumiti nalang kami sa isa't isa at tinignan ko nalang syang pumasok sa loob, I continued watching the city lights and still hearing the noise of crickets and it feels good, I swear.

I decided to go down after because my hunger strikes again but I heard something I shouldn't be hearing, this is impossible.

"We have been planning this for a long time Joseph simula palang nung teenager pa sila, gusto kong ipagkasal sila Sandro at Analisse so we will never cut ties with each other, do you agree with me, you can just tell me if you don-" Biglang pinutol ni Daddy ang pag sasalita ni tito bong, ANO?

"No no it's ok for me, I've been planning this for a long time also, so I agree with you Bong, kailangan na nilang ikasal kapag 26 na si Analisse, I know na wala syang boyfriend sa ngayon and wala ding girlfriend si Sandro so it's perfect kung ipag kakasal natin sila and it will be impossible to cut ties with each other again." Sambit ni daddy, daddy why? I thought I'm allowed to marry anyone I want, at hindi pala kami legal ni Elijah sa side ko.

"Ok that's good, mabuti naman at nagiging close na din sila Sandro at Analisse, kailangan pa nila mag sama ng matagal to be really close with each other para hindi tayo mahihirapang ipag kasal sila." Sambit ni tito bong at tumawa, so that's the reason kung bakit sila nag s-stay dito sa bahay namin until now? I'm very disapointed with you dad, you and tito have been planning this for a long time pala.

I decided to go back in my room because I can't take it anymore and hindi ko na kayang pakinggan pa ang pinag uusapan nila, hindi ko maimagine na iiwan ko si Elijah for an arranged marriage dahil lalamunin ako ng matinding konsensya, what should I do next?
