Marry Me Again (LEGACY SERIES #1)

CHAPTER 1

CHAPTER 1 (EDITED)

Napamulat ako ng mata nang maramdaman na tumatama ang init ng araw sa aking mukha. Napa-upo ako sa kama at napahilamos ng mukha. Panigurado ay mukha akong haggard at mukhang bruha kaya agad nakong bumango at pumunta sa banyo.

Habang nagt-toothbrush ay napatitig ako sa aking sarili sa salamin.

Hating-gabi na at papasok na sana ako sa aking kwarto ng mapadaan sa kwarto nila mamà at papà.

"What is wrong with you lorcan!? That's our child! How come i didn't know about this!?" I can hear my mamà shouting at papà. Nag-aaway na naman sila.

"This is a good idea audette! How can you not see it!? Think about our future!" Papà shouted.

I wanted to enter their room but then again, what can i do? Dad will just get at me and i'll receive a punishment instead.

No one can stood up with him, none of us. Even mamà is scared of papà because of what he can do. He's a poweful man. Papà will do anything just to gain power and authority.

I was about to walk away when i heard something that made me stop from where i stood.

"Alexandria is old enough! She can get married now!" W-what? What did he mean get married? To whom?

They always argue about that. About me being married. Can they just leave me alone?

I didn't realize the tears were falling off my cheeks. I sighed then finished off brushing my teeth. Nakailang hilamos ako sa mukha bago tuluyang lumabas ng kwarto. I sighed deeply and closed my eyes. No tears in front of papà, remember that alexandria.

I put a smile on my face as i walk down. Habang papalapit sa dining ay parang sumisikip din ang dibdib ko. Nang makarating doon ay tahimik lamang ang buong mesa at tanging mga kubyertos ang gumagawa ng ingay.

Isa-isa akong bumeso sakanila. Si adrianna, siya ang pangalawa saming tatlong magkakapatid, 18 na taong gulang na siya at malapit nang makapagtapos ng pag-aaral. At ang aming bunso ay si anastasia, 13 years old na siya at magf-fourtheen sa august. Kahit malapit na magdalaga si anastasia ay tinuturing pa rin namin siyang baby, matataba kasi ang pisngi niya at baby face pa kaya talagang nac-cute-an kami sakanya.

Lumapit naman ako kay mamà at agad siyang napangiti ng bahagya.

"Good morning, andria." She said as i kissed her left cheek.

I didn't bother to give my father a greetings. As far as i remember, he didn't act like a father, so i'm not his daughter.

I grit my teeth as i feel my anger inside me. I shrugged it off then started to eat.

"Aren't you going to greet me?" He said in an arrogant voice while sipping on his coffee.

I put down my utensils slowy then looked at him in the eyes, I smiled sarcastically.

"Morning then." I said without respect.

He chuckled then puts down his coffee mug. It created a loud noise as he did it with force. He didn't like what i just said. So be it.

Napatahimik ang buong mesa at wala ni isa ang nagsasalita. Maging si anastasia na walang kamalay-malay sa nangyayari ay nakatingin na rin ngayon sa amin. Ang aming mga kasambahay ay nakayuko na lamang at tahimik sa gilid.

"I didn't raise you to be a brat!" My dad shouted at me. I just stared at his eyes.

"Did you? Then where could i get this attitude then? Don't say, it's mamà?" Nakakunot pa ang noo ko at halata ang pagiging sarkastiko ng aking tono.

Ngayon ay halos mamula na ang mukha nito saakin at talagang handa nang manakit ano mang oras. Agad naman siyang inawat ni mamà ngunit ayaw nitong magpatinag.

"You useless child! How can you talk back to me! I'm your father!" He said angrily. You will never be my father. I just stared at him straight to his eyes. I didn't even bother to talk back to him as i can feel that i'm in the verge of crying.

I didn't even finished my food and just stood up walking away from them. My tears were already falling but i didn't mind it and kept my head up.

I went to my room then closed it. I was crying silently.

Minutes later i heard a knock on my door. "Alexandria? Can we talk, please?" I heard my mamà's voice outside. I wasn't gonna let her in but she just barged her way inside my room. I forgot to locked my door so it was easy for her to enter.

She sat at my bed and sit right beside me. She started caressing my hair so i calmed down.

"Shush now, i know your papà didn't mean what he just said." No. You're just too blind to see that, that man is a bad person and you're blinded by love.

I didn't said out loud what i just said in my head because i know mamà will get hurt.

"Is it true? You're going to marry off someone i don't even know?" Hindi nako nagpaligoy-ligoy pa at agad kong tinanong sakanya ang mga nalaman ko. Tinignan ko si mamà at halatang gulat na gulat siya sa narinig.

"I...." Halatang hindi niya alam ang sasabihin at napapikit. Nakatingin lamang ako sakanyang susunod na sasabihin. Just say the truth mamà, i will understand.

Huminga siya ng malalim at tinitigan ako sa mata. Hinawakan niya ang kaliwa kong kamay at hinawakan ito ng mahigpit.

"I-i k-know you d-don't want it," She started to cry and sob.

"B-but please...you n-need to d-do t-this my d-daughter.." She cried telling me that she can't do nothing to help me.

I just sighed deeply. I looked at her and nodded even though it's not fine for me deep inside.

Tumigil na siya sa pag-iyak at hinawakan ang magkabila kong balikat. Tumingin siya saaking mata.

"Don't worry andria, i wouldn't marry you off to someone i'm not close with, their family is influential...and powerful...so don't do anything that will make your fiancé mad, alright?" I nodded slowly then she hugged me tight.

"Who's going to be my husband? Do i know him?" I asked after a while.

"His name is nikolai, he's a nice man they say, so you shouldn't worry." She smiled at me a little.

Nikolai? Sounds familiar. Nikolai like from the vladimir family?

"From house vladimir mamà?" I asked her. Confused.

She nodded. Okay. I think i would be able to handle it. House vladimir is close to our family. Mamà's right, i shouldn't worry.

"You should rest my dear, their family is inviting us over for a dinner." She said. I looked at her confused.

"Why?" I asked her. She caressed my hair then looked at me.

"We're going to plan about your marriage with nikolai." She said. I just nodded so she could go. She then left after. I just heard the door closed while i was staring into nothing.

I sighed deeply. Damn, i don't even know what to do with that marriage.
