-FORCED MARRIAGE- (Revised)

Chapter 6 (UPDATED)

Shane with no glasses

Shane's POV

Days had passed at ganun parin palagi ang daily routine ko. Going to school, hangout with katy, and the most important thing is to avoid kurt at all cost.

Yeah, i avoid him mostly the entire day. Well, sometimes magkita-kita kami dahil nga sa ibang subjects ay magkaklase kami pero i just don't look at him nor talk to him talaga. Even though he wanted me to notice him. I don't even know why.

He literally disgust me. Gwapo nga siya pero manyakis nga lang. Sayang kaya yun, mahilig ako sa gwapo pero ayoko sa hindi na virgin no. Pinoprotektahan ko nga tong pagkababae ko reserba para sa prince charming ko. Eh, mala prince charming din naman si kurt kaso nakaka discourage.

I am at my house today dahil weekends ngayon so it means no school. I noticed that my mom was cooking a lot of food today. So I went to go check on her.

"Ma? Ba't ang daming ulam ngayon? May bisita ba tayo?" tanong ko.

"Tayo yung bisita nak, may pupuntahan tayo. Sa bahay ng kababata namin ng daddy mo" ngiti niya na parang may halong lungkot o di kaya may tinatago.

"Ngayon ko lang kasi nalaman na dito sila tumitira sa baryong to. Mag bihis kana dahil malapit na akong matapos" dagdag pa niya.

I just nod and got curious. Umakyat ako sa room ko at nakapagbihis ng white blouse and denim shorts. Tinanggal ko yung eyeglasses ko at naglagay ng light make-up, for school purposes lang kasi tong glasses ko. Sinuot ko yung white shoes ko para bumaba na.

Tinulungan ko si mama ilagay yung mga pagkain sa loob ng sasakyan. Nakapaghanda narin si daddy sa loob ng sasakyan at kami narin ang huling sasakay.

The ride was peaceful and quiet but i got the feeling that they have something important to tell me. We reached the big gates and they immediately open it for us. I just stare in awe until we reach the big mansion.

"wow, bahay to nila ma?" sabi ko habang tumingala sa kahabaan ng bahay nila.

"Oo nak, napakamayaman nila no?. Gusto ko na makilala mo sila" sabi niya.

"For what ma? May importante ba?"

"Oo nak, you'll see when we get inside"

===

My dad push the button which is the doorbell and it rang loudly from the inside. Nakakagulat naman tong bell nila parang bell ng simbahan.

We were greeted by a butler, welcoming and bowing to us. Hindi ko na siya napansin dahil dali-dali rin akong pumasok. Nakakamangha kasi dito sa loob. Para akong prinsesa.

Nilibot ko yung mga mata ko sa kahit saang sulok ng mansion. Grabe ang ganda talaga ng mga disenyo.

"oh irish!" tawag ni nanay. Nabaling yung atensyon ko sa dalawang tao na bumaba sa malaking hagdan.

"Eve !" tawag din ng isang babae na nasa 40s ata pero ang ganda parin.

They hug each other as if they missed each other. Same goes to my dad and to the other man which I can tell that its the husband of the woman.

"Is this your young lady?" tingin sakin ng babae na nakangiti ng napakatamis. I blushed dahil napakaganda niya talaga. Nahihiya ako sa itsura ko ngayon.

"Yes, the only daughter of mine" sabi ni mama. The woman immediately hug me which i was glad to hug her back. It felt very welcoming.

"Come, punta tayo sa living room. I want you to meet my son and daughter" sabi niya at pumunta kami sa ibang room kung saan ang living room nila.

Pumasok kami sa loob at bumungad agad yung dalawang anak ni tita irish at tito evan.

"Katy? at kurt?" Gulat na sabi ko. Nakita ko rin na nagulat si kurt kapag nakita niya ako. He looked at me up and down.

"Kyaaaa, shanee! Finally you're here!" katy screamed in excitement. Tumakbo siya sakin para yakapin ako ng mahigpit.

"P-pano?" utal na sabi ko dahil hindi ko parin ma calculate sa utak ko ang nakita ko ngayon.

"You knew each other?" sabi ni tita irish.

"Yes mom! She's my bestfriend. I'm so glad i saw her at our school" katy said happily.

"how about you Kurt? Don't you want to say hello to this beautiful young lady?"

Kurt's Pov,

Nakatulala pa rin ako sa nakita ko ngayon. Ba't nandito nanaman siya?. Nag-iba siya ngayon ah, parang gumanda lalo. She resembles my childhood friend. Could it be her?

"kurt?" tawag uli ni mama.

"H-hey" i greeted her. Tangina first time ako nagkakaganito. Yung parang na love at first sight? Pero hindi love. Parang crush lang ganun.

"Do you 3 remember that you were always playing when you were kids?" sabi ni mama.

"Really mom? Ah! So ikaw yung palagi kong kalaro ng barbie noon! Omygosshh! I really missed you" niyakap niya ng mahigpit si shane at pareho nila namimiss ang isa't-isa.

"Hindi rin ako makapaniwala katy, nag-iba kana talaga ngayon" shane smiled.

Siya pala yung hinihintay ko makita noon. Siya yung first crush ko dati. Pero biglang naglaho nung nalaman namin na umalis sila at tumira sa ibang lugar. But now she's back and deep inside i was happy.

"Son, we have to tell you something" seryoso na sabi ni dad. Si mom at ang parents ni shane ay humanda para sa next na sasabihin ni dad.

"We had this agreement..." he started.

"For both of your future to be secured" sabi niya habang tumingin kay shane at saakin.

"We arranged your marriage with shane last week and it was settled. The documents are ready. You just need to wait for your scheduled wedding event soon enough" he finished.

"Yay!" pumalakpak si katy sa balitang kasiyahan na narinig niya.

"What?!" sigaw ni shane na parang hindi siya makapaniwala sa sinabi ni dad. Tumingin siya sa nanay at tatay niya for confirmation and the two of them nods in agreement.

"I won't accept it!" she angrily said.

I just shut my mouth pero nagulat rin ako sa sinabi ni dad. I can't deny him. He will get mad at me.

"anak this is our last wish for you!" sabi ng mom niya.

"but mom! You should have told me first" Shane's voice trembled wanting to cry.

"I accept this arrangement" I announced to stop this argument for going any further. Nakakahiya naman kina mom at dad sa eksenang ginawa niya.

Shane's eyes narrowed at me, glaring at me saying ' I can't believe you' and a tear escaped her eyes.
