Arrange Marriage [Ongoing]

Chapter 2

Mikhael's POV

I woke up to the rays of the sun coming from the balcony of my room, I got up to close the curtain so I could sleep soundly again. After a few minutes, someone knocked on the door so I went and opened it. It was lola Maya, our house maid.

"Mikhael anak, baba ka na pinapatawag ka sa akin ng papa at mama mo, kakain na raw kayo maya-maya, nahuli ka ng gising bata ka, hindi ka tuloy nakapag breakfast" lola Maya calls me anak because she raise me when I was a kid, she worked here for 22 years.

"Lola Maya" I said while smiling and hugged her.

"Nako Mikhael mag toothbrush at maligo ka na, bumaba na para makakain ka" lola Maya said while laughing.

"Opo, bababa na po ako mamaya" Grandma Maya left immediately, I closed the door so I could take a shower. After that, I went down immediately because I knew they were waiting for me and the food was ready.

When I got to the dining table, Mr. Arcallana and Mrs. Arcallana were also there.

"Mikhael, halika maupo ka at makakain na tayo, kanina ka pa namin hinihintay" dad said.

I sat down with a confused face. The dinner table was quiet for a few minutes while we were eating and it was dad who broke the silence.

"Mikhael" dad called me.

"Yes, dad?" I simply respond.

"Mikhael, makinig ka, bumabagsak ang kumpanya natin, at nadadamay ang kumpanya nila Mr at Mrs. Arcallana" I raised my eye brow with a confuse face.

What do I have to do with it? Tanong ko sa sarili ko.

"What about it, dad?" I asked.

"Kailangan natin ito gawan ng paraan, at ikaw ang makakatulong sa amin" dad said while looking at me with a serious face.

"How, paano ako makakatulong sa kumpanya?" I asked dad with a straight face.

"Kailangan mong pakasalan ang anak nila Mr at Mrs. Arcallana" tugon ni papa. Ng dahil sa gulat ay napatayo ako.

"What?! No dad, hindi ko gagawin yan" I answered with a slightly high voice.

"Mikhael anak, calm down, nasa harap tayo nila Mr. Arcallana" Mom said and I sat down.

"Mikhael anak, please, para sa atin 'to at para rin kanila Mr. Arcallana" dad said and I looked at Mr and Mrs. Arcallana who's looking at me as well.

"Huwag kang mag-alala Mikhael, sa susunod na linggo ay pauwi na ang anak ko galing Paris, makikilala mo ang anak ko" Mr. Arcallana said.

Nagising nang maaga si Mr. Lim dahil nakatanggap ito ng ulat galing sa assistant niya na unti-unting bumabagsak ang kumpanya nila, at nadadamay dito ang company Mr. Arcallana.

"Why, why?" Tanong ni Mr. Lim sa sarili niya habang nagbibihis para makaalis nang maaga.

Dali-dali silang umalis kasama ang asawa niya at ang assistant niya. Nang makarating sila sa kumpanya ay agad itong nag tungo sa meeting area na kung saan ay naroon ang mag-asawang Arcallana.

"Mr. Lim, what's the plan? Ayokong bumagsak ang kumpanya mo, at ganon din sa akin. Malaki ang mawawala sa akin kung babagsak ito nang tuluyan" tugon ni Mr. Arcallana.
