Mr. Wrong (Mr. Series #1)

Chapter 19

So kaya pala siya nawala ng araw na 'yon pati ng mga sumunod pa because he was planning to conspire with my father and ask for our wedding arrangement.

Mabilis akong naglakad papasok sa university. Alam kong narito na siya ngayon. Of course! He will definitely boast about our marriage to my face. At tama nga ako, malapit na ako sa classrom nang makita ko si Jhunel. The guy who set it all up. I can see now why he's back—the reason he was here again—to let my life suffer. My blood quickly went up in my head as I remembered my dad's words.

"You'll get married after this semester. And yes, to your ex-boyfriend."

I bit my lip out of frustration. Tears suddenly streamed through my eyes. Why do I have to suffer like this? Why do I always need to set aside what I want? It never crossed my mind to rebel or disobey what he wanted for me, because I knew that would be best for me, but why do I need to marry someone I don't love anymore? Worst, to the man I really, really hate. I wipe my cheeks and try to suppress all the overflowing feelings I have deep inside, including the disappointment in myself.

Agad akong napansin ni Jhunel at kung makangiti siya ngayon ay abot hanggang tainga. Nilapitan niya ako.

"Kumusta ka naman habang wala ako?" sambit ni Jhunel nang makatabi niya na ako. Sinubukan kong magtimpi kahit na nanggagalaiti na ako sa galit. "I never thought that a day without you would cost a lifetime living with you. I never expected that your father would want me to be his son-in-law."

"Pinagplanuhan mo 'tong lahat, ano? This is the meaning of you wanting me back again. You desperately want me to become miserable." I stare at him with anger.

"Correction, it was your dad's plan. And I am not here to make your life miserable. All I want is another chance, but you never give that, which is why I did everything I could so I could get you back," he explained.

"I don't believe you." Umiiling ako habang nagngingitngit ang mga ngipin.

"Shush." Itinaas niya ang hintuturo niya. "You have to start trusting me again since I'm going to be your husband."

"That's never going to happen." I rolled my eyes as I turned my back on him.

Professor Magalona entered the class after me. I sat on my chair. I noticed that Jhon Rey wasn't beside me, and I'm a little worried. Where is he? Napatingin din ako sa upuan ni Anne pero wala siya roon. Nasaan siya?

Jhunel sat beside me and again I just rolled my eyes. I have no chance to sue him since our professor is already here.

"Good morning, class. I hope this is a good morning to all of you," said Professor Magalona.

He looks at us, and I can sense a bit of disappointment. "Our project got canceled."

I heard everyone gasp. There were also whispers and murmurs from them. At kahit ako ay nagulat sa anunsyo ni professor Magalona.

"I guess that was a bad idea, giving you reasons to live with your seatmates together. Someone took the advantage to do bad things," he said while tilting his head.

"What do you mean, sir?" one of my classmates asked.

"A parent reported to Dean and said her daughter had been exploited by his partner. This guy took the advantage of this girl's weakness and raped her."

I was shocked by what I heard. Ganoon din ang mga kaklase ko. They were in silence for a moment and looked at each other, trying to find out who was the victim among the class. "Are they in this class or the other section?" one of my classmates asked again.
