TOO HARD TO LOVE

CHAPTER 2

Chapter 2: marriage

ELAINE'S POINT OF VIEW
After I opened the door and lock it immediately at tila napause ako bigla sa kahihiyan na ginawa. Oh god, pero ito nga ang pinaka-matagal ko ng pangarap hindi ba? kaya damn susulitin ko na!

"Who the hell are you?!" I heard his voice, the mad voice of the one and only Tyron Juarrez. It feels like heaven.

Sa lahat ata ng mga nagagalit ang boses ay sa kanya lang ako natuwa.

Hindi ako tumalikod at nakaharap pa din sa pinto while someone is knocking and trying to open this damn door. Damn, hayaan niyo muna na mag-moment kami.

"Can't you answer my question? are you deaf?!' he's already irritated at mababase mo iyon sa boses niya. It makes me smirk na marnig itong ganito. It feels like a blessing.

"I'm not." Humarap ako sa kaniya at isinandal ang sarili sa pinto habang ka-harap siya ngayon na ay pulang pula na ang mukha sa inis.

"I'm asking you a fucking question! Who the hell are you? Do you want money? What?! I have a busy schedule so stop fucking my schedule!" After I heard him cursed me ay mas lalo akong naging masaya. It feels like heaven hearing him cursing like that.

"Nope. I just need you. Just you." I smiled at him pathetically at nagtaka ito sa ginawa ko at tinaasan ako ng kilay.

"I don't have anytime for this shit." He's so harsh na pina-alis ako sa pagkakaharang sa pinto. Hindi ba niya ako kilala?!

After he opened that door I saw the staff that are worried and that damn Verena na kung makapag-alala ay parang asawa na nito ni Tyron.

"Please, I don't want any of these na lumabas in public! If this shit will be trending on social media, I will destroy everything that works here!" He's so mad leaving this restaurant. I can't help but to laugh while my friends is doing the same. Lahat ng nandoon na workers we're curious, hay.

I'm the one who's driving my Honda Civic habang ang dalawa sa likod at ang mga escorts ay nasa una at nasa likod.

"Can't you just tell us what happened? He look frustrated, Elaine!" Hindi mapakaling si Ivy na kanina pa ay parang praning.

"Ivy being oa again!" Wika ni Gail that makes me laugh "Girl, look! Their family is the number one rich in the Philippines, and he's the next owner of what Juarrez owns!!" The both of us Gail just rolled our eyes because of Ivy being oa again!

"Ivy, do you think our own dad's will let something bad happen to us? Ofc no! Isa pa I didn't do anything wrong. I just want him to know that I exist parang walang paki sa mga messages, Gmail and gifts ko!" Naramdaman ko ang pag-hinga ng malalim ni Ivy na nakasigurado siya na wala naman akong ginawang masama.

"I already told you, just find another man that will love you!" I just rolled my eyes again. No, that's the big no!

"Siya lang ang aasawahin, ang pogi sa mata ko at sa kanya lang ako magpapaanak" muling salita ko sa paboriting salita ko sa tuwing sasabihin nila na I should find someone new.

I'm already at Dad's place while, I'm with my sister, Evie. Dalawang taon lang ang pagitan namin dalawa and she's a actress like my mom. My mom is known for being a best actress in the Philippines na hindi na bigong makilala sa ibang bansa. My mom is the best like my dad!

So my friends Ivy and Gail are here with me, while they we're doing some chika with Evie.

"So she met the one and only Tyron at the restaurant? And she just snatches Tyron like a thing? Wow!" My sister can't say anything just "wow" for her I'm so cool that I did that. I mean yeah even I, I got shy but I need to take the chance!

"Is dad late?" My sister just nodded "he's too busy for the restaurant and for the company. He's releasing new clothes." Actually, I want to be also a model for our own company bilang kahit papaano ay tulong. Dad wants me to be in his place but I don't want to. I have my own dream at ganoon si Evie. We're just two sisters na naiwan sa daddy ko kaya ay kahit matanda na ito ay hard working pa din.

"I told you, ate. Dad wants a kapalit sa kanya, yung mapapagkatiwalaan niya." Dad wants me to marry a man that I don't love and I hate that thing pero kapag nakikta ko siyang ganito na pagod na at late ng nauuwi ay parang gusto ko na lang bigla na sundin ang gusto nito.

"Do you think should I give up on my dreams?" I ask them, how about you guys? Do you think should I give up my dreams and just choose what my loving dad wants?

"Anak, no.  I don't want you to give up your dreams just for our company.." I heard our dad's voice at the door and we immediately got up to him and hugged him.

"I miss you so much, Daddy!" Me and Evie hugged him so tight that made us laugh.

We are at the dining table, eating together.

"What did I just hear earlier? You will leave modeling for our company?" Dad asks me in a calm tone and I just nodded as a yes. I don't want to leave modeling but if this is the choice so my dad can rest.

"Anak, you don't need to kasi I already found someone na makakatulong for us!" Nagtataka kaming napatingin kay dad, what does he mean by that?

"Makakatulong?" Evie asked our dad with a confusing look and my dad chuckled about her looks. "One of you will be marrying the man that will continue our legacy" Both of us are shocked even Ivy and Gail. Marrying a man?! Hell, no!

"Since Evie has a boyfriend already so it means.." halos mahulog ang panga ko sa narinig. Evie has boyfriend so it means??

"It means si yaya Marie??" I asked Dad and he laughed at me. "Nice joke, honey but yeah you." I heard my friends and Evie clapping about what Dad said! No!

Damn! I want to help Dad but not in this way!

"Dad, I can sacrifice my dream job naman po.." yeah so funny, I can sacrifice my dream job for the man that I love even though he doesn't feel the same. Paano na lang kasi diba? If I'll be marrying someone already, wala na akong pag-asa kay Tyron! So no!!

"Anak, no.." I don't want that me and dad will argue about this, minsan na nga lang ako makauwi dito at makasama sila tapos pagod pa siya lagi. I'm so useless na anak if I will argue pa with him..

"Sure, Dad. Paki-contact na lang po ako this week." I smiled at him coldly. I don't want to marry a man that I don't even love.
