Arrange Marriage

Chapter 5

Aya's POV

It was already 7 PM when I got home, I didn't realize the time because I enjoyed talking with my friend as after we met to Starbucks, we went to the mall. They are still the same and nothing has changed. I parked my car in front of the house and handed it to our private chauffeur who was waiting in front of the house because he said he would be the one to park it when I got home.

When I entered the house, I was immediately approached by dad who had just come from the living area.

"Ayara anak, okay ka lang ba?" I just nodded even though I'm not okay with the decision that dad made for me.

"Mabuti naman kung ganon. Nakausap ko ang anak ng mag asawang Lim dahil nagtungo ako sakanila kaninang umaga" dad said to me and I just smiled.

"At bukas ng ala-una ng hapon ay magkita kayong dalawang lamang sa restaurant, naka-reserve na ang table niyo ron, itanong niyo na lamang" I was surprised by what dad said but I just ignored it because nothing would change.

After dad and I talked, he let me go up to my room because I told him that I had already eaten and I was with my friends. I let out a big sight before placing my things in my desk before taking a bath.

Minutes later when I finished taking a bath, I decided to stalk Aki's social media.

"Hay ang pogi mo pa rin, bakit ba kasi hindi Lim apilyido mo, okay sana kung sa'yo ako ikakasal e" I said to myself, feeling frustrated.

I stopped stalking Aki and decided to rest because I was feeling sleepy. Minutes later, I already fell asleep.

Morning

I woke up and immediately looked at the time, it was 10 in the morning so I got up right away. I went downstairs to have coffee to wake up my soul and have energy. While lola Marcy is making me a coffee, dad and mom came to have breakfast.

"Ayara, sumabay ka na sa'min ng mommy mo mag breakfast" he sat down while he was reading a newspaper. I agreed because I couldn't say no to Dad and Mom.

While I'm eating peacefully, Dad called me so I looked at him.

"Anak Ayara" dad said and I know he's going to talk about the arrange marriage.

"I know dad, you don't have to tell me naman po; pumayag na ako sa desisyon niyo. Please dad, I don't wanna talk about it" I said while stiring my coffee.

"Sige anak, pasensiya ka na" And we continued to eat in silence.

After I finished eating and drinking coffee, I went upstairs to take a shower because sooner or later I will meet whomever I am going to marry whom I neither see nor know. After I showered I was just browsing in Instagram, when I came across Mikhael's instagram account.

"Kelan ko pa to finollow?" I asked myself while confused because I only saw it now in 10 years.

I opened her account, she has only posted a few pictures and all of them are with her back turned.

"Seriously? Nakatalikod?" I said to myself without any expression.

I keep on stalking her and I saw one of her posts, I can see her face, it's a little blurry because the photo was taken from a distance.

"Nothing changed, still the same, Mikhael na tagong-tago" I said to myself and I chuckled.

"Bakit ko ba 'to ini-stalk, wala naman na sakin kung may nagbago man sakanya" I said to myself again, I look crazy because I'm talking to myself.

I've noticed that it's already 12 PM so I decided to leave immediately, before leaving I went to dad's office near my room to bid my goodbye.

"Dad, aalis na po ako, can I use your other car?" I asked dad while smiling so he'll allow me.

"Ayaw mo ba mag pahatid? Sige Ayara anak, mag-iingat sa pag d-drive ha" dad said while approaching me and kissed my forehead. I hugged him before leaving.

It's 12:30 when I arrived at the place, I parked my car and went inside. I asked where the table that is under my name, the girl assist me to our table and left me, I thanked her before sitting down. It was a VIP table So you have to enter a door before reaching there.

I waited for minutes, I'm feeling bored but I'm not taken away with my emotions when suddenly the door opened. I stood up and stared at him.

"Oh I'm sorry miss, wrong table" he said casually but before he leave, I spoke.

"Aki? Is that you?" I asked to him while smiling. Finally, finally I saw him after 10 years of being his stalker.

"Do I know you, miss?" Aki response that makes me chuckle.

"Yes, we know each other very well, we use to hangout back in high school, remember me?" I said to him while he look confused.

"Aya, Ayara A. Arcallana" I said formally and offered my hand and he accepted it.

Oh and by the way, my middle name stands for Arceta, this author must have forgotten to tell.

"Ohh yes, Aya I know you, I barely recognize you ha. By the way, you look great pa rin but you look more beautiful" Aki said and I smiled to what he said.

"So, what brings you here, Aki?" I asked him and still smiling, I can't help it.

"I was about to ask you nga that e, but anyway, may date kasi ako, I thought this was the room" Aki said while scratching the back of his neck.

"Oh is that so, sige na baka kanina ka pa niya iniintay. It's nice to see you again, Aki" the last thing I said and smiled to him even though I'm hurt that he's already dating someone. Well, what do I expect, I've been gone for 10 years.

"You too" last thing he said before closing the door.

"Hay Ayara napaka, akala ko siya na yon e, umasa tuloy ako. Naging stalker ka pa niya yon pala may girlfriend na" I said to myself, feeling embarrassed.

I waited for 30 minutes while browsing through my phone and it's already 1 PM exact, when someone opened the door. I looked at her as she was wearing black pants, white t-shirt and brown leather jacket and her hair was red.

"I think you're in the wrong room" Before I focused my eyes on my phone to continue what I was doing.

"I'm sorry but I entered the right room, maybe you're in the wrong room" She said in cold tone voice while staring at her phone. She seems familiar, I can't think of anyone because this is the first time I saw her.

"I'm expecting a man, so yes, you're in the wrong room" I fight with her.

"And I'm expecting a man also" she said as she stares at me with blank expression.

Who are you? Why does she seems very familiar? Have I seen her before?

"I'm expecting Arcallana, don't know the first name and you can't be him, you're a woman" she said without looking at me, she closed the door and sat down.

"No, no no, this can't be, this can't be her" I said to myself feeling panic and I suddenly stood up.

"Mikhael Jay?!" I said as I raise my voice at her and she raise her eyebrow at me.

"How'd you know me? Wait-" as she suddenly stoop up and I was surprised by her action.

"YOU?!" I said with a panic expression and slammed the table accidentally.

"YOU?" She said while staring into my eyes.
