Forbidden (DuRiam Fanfic)

1962

"Miriam, get on your shoes. The Devilla's will be here any minute now." My sister said. I always do obey my parents' rules and words. Following their footsteps were always my goal, i knew this would come but i never thought that this will be real hard. Marrying someone you don't love.

"Miss may i?" One of my butlers came in to escort me, i took one more glance at myself in the mirror to see if 'm perfectly fine. Yes i am, but my chest does not feel the same thing. I breathed in the thoughts that are close on making my family to screw me, and exhaled it as hard as i could, insanely hoping that my nervousness would go. But it didn't. I gave my hand to the butler who fetched me, trying my self to calm.

"Parties are never my thing." I mumbled. I have known the devillas for quite some time now, since i will be one of them soon. They are degree holders, variety. Just like my family. Santiagos and Devillas are the two most prominent families here in San Andres. I scanned the whole area, fancy, elegant, grandiose, anything that can describe this piece of crap. I saw how people are deceived by money.

"Psst." I heard someone calling me from behind, turned my head 90° just to find out that Rodrigo is calling me. A smile emerge in my lips without noticing that i was letting my guards of. One of my butlers held my arm. I gestured him to give me a minute.

"What are you doing here?" I asked. He just smiled at me, and kissed me on the lip.

"Pasensya na, kahit sa huling pagkakataon gusto kitang makapiling Miriam." I heard his voice broking, ugh! This is going nowhere.

"Will you stop crying? We already talked about this right?" I hugged him for atleast 3 minutes, i cant stand seeing him in pain.

"Alam ko iyon, ngunit sa puntong ito, hindi ko alam kung may pag asa pa ko miriam."
