"Why do I need to Marry him?"

Tanging tanong ko nang makapag bihis. May dinner kami with each other's family.

I will be engaged to someone I don't even know.. What if he's masungit? Ugh! It's so annoying kaya if pareho kaming masungit like 'di kami same vibes!

"Jelai, Let's go. We'll be late if you keep staring at your face. He'll like you, You're beautiful."

I just stared at her before standing up to walk.

Simple lang ang suot ko, I wore my Black Silk dress ending above my knees and has a slit on my right leg, I also put a simple make up which makes my face look so fierce.

Sa Bahay daw nila kami pupunta dahil doon daw sila nag handa.

I wonder how he look like?

Was he tall?

My self-asking stopped when our car enters a freaking mansion! I thought ours was big enough but this is bigger! I think it's triple bigger than our house, It's really big!

"Hello, Secile! Is she Scarlett? How beautiful" The mid 40's girl welcomed us.

"Hello po" Magalang Kong Sabi, I roamed my eyes when we enter. Everything looks so expensive, Like rich rich rich!

Hindi ko pa kailanman nameet ang taong pakakasalan ko.. Hindi pa ako ready. What if he's ugly? I can see my future pa naman with wonwoo.

"Let me just call Primo"
Anang nanay niya.

Primo?

So his name is primo?

Nang Maka punta Kami sa hapag ay napanganga ako sa dami nang nakahanda roon.

The food looks good too, everything looks good!

"She's so beautiful, anak! Bagay na bagay kayo!"

Rinig kong Pagsasalita sa 'di kalayuan na direksyon.

I just play with my finger nails while waiting. After this, Magpapagawa ako Ng nails ko, it's so luma na pala.

"Primo, Son." Banggit sa pangalan ng lalaki, Napatunghay naman ako dahil umupo siya sa tapat ng silya ko.

He's freaking tall!

Sharp jaw line, Ang ilong ay perpektong matangos, Ang labi ay kulay pink na animo'y pagkalambot-lambot, Magandang katawan na binabalot ng kanyang damit, he also smells good, In short, Gwapo!

"Scarlett, This is my son, Primo" Pagpapa-kilala ng magulang sa anak.

Ngumiti lang ako sa nanay niya at Tumingin sa bintana, nagdidilim na, Hindi na ako abot sa pag papagawa Ng kuko!

"So, hija, Nasabi naman na saiyo Ng magulang mo na ikakasal kayong dalwa, Hindi ba?" Biglang nagsalita ang ama nang binatilyo.

"O-opo"

Fuck.

"Iiiwan ko na rito si Jelai, Let them sleep with each other, I assume there's a room for two?" Pakikisabat naman ni mommy.

"Of course, of course!" Excited na sabi nang kanyang Ina.

Tumingin ako Kay mommy at gamit Ang mata sa pagtatanong kung bakit Dito ako magpapalipas Ng Gabi, Pero pinanlakihan niya lang ako Ng mata.

"May Bahay na rin sila sa Manila, Tomorrow pede na kayong lumipat."

Agad agad??

Wala kaming naging salita pareho.

Nang matapos Ang kainan ay naglibot-libot lang ako sa Bahay nila.

Nakita kong may hagdan paitaas kaya tumaas ako.
