"It's not Singapore but Hong Kong," I corrected.

Napaigting ang panga niya habang nakatitig ng husto sa akin. Bumaba ang tingin niya sa labi ko.

"Okay, Hong Kong."

"Yes," I mumbled and looked away. It was a minute of silence, and my mind was totally blank. I was close to telling him that we should stop this madness, but now? It's getting insane.

"Glenn?" Ibinalik ko ang tingin sa kanya. "Let's think about it first. I-I mean, getting married is not a joke. I don't know your plan, and I don't understand why you're doing this. If you are doing this to prove that you have moved on with your feelings from Saber, then don't do it. . . This is not right."

Ayaw kong isipin niya na opurtunista ako. Oo, desperado na ako ngayon, at tama lang ang dating ni Glenn sa buhay ko para masolusyonan ang problema ko sa madrasta ko. Pero hindi parin tama ito.

Marriage is sacred. It should be performed when two people are in love, which is not our case.

He looked away and sighed.

Gwapo si Glenn at engineer pa. Saan pa ba ako makakahanap ng kagaya niya? Eh, halos lahat ng nasa edad niya ay taken na.

He is a perfect bachelor with all the qualities I aim for as a husband. I didn't know him well, but somehow, being with him for the past few days, I realized that he was no longer a stranger to me. It felt like I had known him for years because I was comfortable around him. I can be with myself without a pretentious feeling.

"Look, Eres, I'm not perfect." Panimula niya at ibinalik ang mga mata sa akin.

"My family is far from perfect," he paused, his eyes intently relaying a message to me.

"I know this is insane, but trust me, Saber has nothing to do with this." Humigpit ang hawak ng mga kamay niya sa steering wheel ng sasakyan. Napayuko ako.

"Inisip ko lang naman kasi ang puso mo. Kung mahal mo siya, ay ipaglaban mo." Balik na titig ko sa kanya.

"I'm not in love anymore, Eres," igting ng panga niya.

Gusto ko sanang maniwala sa kanya, pero iba ang nakikita ko sa mga mata niya. Iba ang ibig iparating sa akin nito.

"Okay, let's do this. Let's get married. Nothing will change. It's only a paper. If you want a divorce after a year, then I will give you that. You can stay with me as long as you like. I will help you start a life here in this country. I will provide everything, Eres," he deeply stared.

"I will not force you to do anything that's against your will. If you fall in love with someone, then do it. You are free to go out and date. I will not stop you with that."

Heck.

Gusto kong matawa, pero pinigilan ko lang. Umiwas na ako at kinagat ko na ang pang-ibabang labi ko. Ibang klase nga naman ang nag-iisang Glenn Mondragon ano? Tsk, ang hirap niyang hindian.

"Okay," I responded. I didn't look at him as I was looking at the traffic ahead us.

"Yes! Thank you, Eres," he exclaimed.

May halong galak at sabik ang boses niya at nagbigay ito ng kakaibang kinang sa puso ko. Pinaandar niya agad ang sasakyan at nagpatuloy na.

When we returned to his penthouse, he moved my luggage and put it inside the other room. I re-checked everything around, and I love the bathroom part. It has complete amenities where I could pamper myself freely.
