Chapter 1: THE MARRIED LIFE

Hadassah Caroline Erie Ching-Lee's POV 

Pasado alas otso na ng gabi at ngayon ko lang naipisan na gumawa ng mga assignments ko. Gumagawa ako ng essay at habang nag-iisip ay biglang naalala ko ang kasal. 2 months had passed and here I am, stuck with the man I barely knew. He's my teacher, that's all I know.

Here's my teacher every day, but my husband every night.

Gwapo nga pero ubod naman ng strictness 'yan. I don't like him even if he looks like a Korean idol. Boys in my school hate him dahil sa rami ng pinapagawa, ang dami pang classroom rules. Ngunit sa kabilang banda, kahit parang mala-impyerno sa room niya, sobrang dami pa'ring mga babae ang nahuhumaling sa kanya. Hindi ako isa sa mga 'yon, nagagwapuhan lang. Iba pa rin 'yon, I have 0% interest. 

Thinking about my life, I just turned eighteen 4 months ago. I just got married 2 months ago. I thought when I turned eighteen, I can do whatever I want. I can get tattoos whenever and wherever I want, I can go wherever I want. Independence and freedom. Pero tignan mo nga naman ang ibinato ng tadhana sa akin.

Alam niyo, maganda ako, at sa sobrang ganda ko, pinakasal sa akin ang aking guro. Ang saklap. Ang kinaiinisan ko pa ay I didn't get to enjoy the summer. I got married April. Sa loob ng ng May hanggang sa matapos ang bakasyon ay nakakulong lang ako rito sa bahay ni Sir Lee.

Just like what he is in school, ganoon rin siya ka-stern dito sa bahay niya. We even made house rules. Bakit pa kasi ako ikinasal sa kanya? Eh why did I have to get married in the first place! 

Everytime I think about marriage, nanggigigil ako. If someone's in my shoes, I'm pretty sure they'll loathe that word too. It's like a curse to me. Who even invented arranged marriage? I'll fight them!

Kasalanan ko ba kung bakit natuloy ito? Because I didn't say no. Hindi rin naman ako umangal. Yes, I may be selfish in some things pero naisip ko ang pamilya ko. There's a reason why they NEED to do it.

Before school started, I went back home to be with my mom, dad, and my brother Jay. I missed them, a lot. Mabuti nga't pumayag itong si Sir Lee. Of course I had to convince him first.

Ayaw kasi nila mom and dad na palabasin ako. Sir Lee is Sir Lee, ayon ang tagal kong nakipagpilitan sakanya.

When I got home, I asked my mom about the reason of why they need to do this. Pumayag na nga akong magpakasal, at least I deserve to know the reason behind.

She told me na the company is at its lowest. Malapit na itong mabankrupt. My dad and Sir Lee's dad made a deal. Matanda na rin pala itong si Sir Lee sabi ni mommy he just turned 26.

He is successful, powerful and rich. He has his own house. Ang kaso wala pa siyang girlfriend. My mom mentioned na iba't ibang konklusyon na raw ang iniisip ng daddy ni Sir Lee. He even thought that his son is gay.

Wala pa raw itong naipapakilalang girlfriend ever. Wala rin daw kinukwentong babae sa kanila. They never seen him with a girl before. His father must be scared. Siya na nga lang ang nag-iisang anak tapos bakla pa.

Naikwento rin naman daw ni daddy na gan'on rin daw ako. Sabagay, no boyfriend since birth ako. Sure daming manliligaw at naka fling but boyfriend? Never had one.

Grabe lang. Sa sobrang excited ng love life ko, kasal agad ang naganap. It makes my blood boil thinking about it. Marami pa akong hindi nae-explore when it comes to relationship, marami pa akong hindi na-experience.
