*KRINGGGG*KRINGGGG Ang tunog ng alarm clock ko... Argsh, kaasara naman oh, kita ng nagbebeauty sleep pa yung tao. Istorbo naman oh... Haish, to all of those na hindi nakakakilala sa akin, I'm Raiyne Alexi Leovale, I just graduated from high school and currently studying HRM... I'm good at what I do and I love my work so far, i don't sweat it. Anyway, ito ang normal routine ko sa buhay. Since my mom and dad are always away, binilhan nila ako ng isang napakagandang house na malapit lamang sa academy...
Biglang tumunog yung phone ko and I slowly fixed my ribbon before looking at the phone, si bhest ko... Kinuha ko yung bag at nagpaalam na kay Manang Flo.
"Ingat ka iha... At umuwi ka ng maaga, ngayon daw uuwi ang parents mo." sabi niya sa akin habang ako naman nag nod lang.
"Thanks for the info, Manang Flo... Alis na ho ako." at umalis na nga.
Minutes later, narating ko rin an school, sadyang maaga lang talaga ako palagi so, heto na ako. Biglang may mga kamay na tumakip sa mata ko at nag panic na ako. Ayaw ko sa lahat ang dilim so I did what the first thing came in my mind. Kick whoever this person in the legs. I studied karate so it's no biggie.
"ARAYYYYYY!!!"
Wait, pamilyar yung boses na iyon ah...
"Bhest? Uy, sorry talaga, ikaw kasi oh..." sabi ko habang nagpapanic.
"Tss... Bhest naman oh, buti na lang di mo ako ginamitan ng suntok sa mukha, masisira ang handsome and wonderful face kong pinagkakaguluhan ng mga girls." sabay flick sa hair nito.
Meet my bestfriend, Cyrus Clyde Montala, handsome, rich, and a true friend and the boy who holds my heart...
Tiningnan ko yung clock at saka tumayo na.
"Oy, Cyrus, mauna na ako, alam mo namang seryoso ako sa aking schooling, graduating na kaya ako. Ikaw, tumino ka rin, graduating ka na din this year sa course mo... Sige kitakits na lang later." Sabi ko habang nagwave sa kanya...
My school day just went as usual, it was totally easy and yeah, prodigy ako sa kahit ano so kahit na 19 years old ako, graduating na ako this March. But anyway, kahit na ganito man ang aking course, ako pa din ang maghahandle ng family business, yung fashion designing and others at modeling na may halong photograpy.
Okay, long timeskip... Tinatamad na si author... busy sa mga proj. niya eh..
Anyway, here it is, may nakita akong car sa front ng bahay and I excitedly run inside, pagpasok ko bigla kong nakita sina mom and dad at sabay kong hinug.
"Mom, I missed you, dad, you promised me..." sabi ko at nagpout.
"We know dear, so, anyway, how are you?" Mom asked.
"I'm fine mom, just a bit tired but hey, I'm graduating in just a few more weeks..." sabi ko habang nagiismile. Last week na kasi ng February.
Tumawa sina mom and dad at naging seryoso bigla na lang. Naguluhan ako kasi bigla silang nagtinginan sila at nag nod sa isa't isa.
"Dear, we have something to tell you..." dad said seriously.
"Okay? What is it?" tanong ko kay Daddy.
"You are getting married to a boy this coming April, it was in your grandfather's last will and we want you to understand this..." sabi ni dad with a pleading tone.
Nagismile ako kasi naman kahit mayaman na mayaman ako, I still understand their reasons and if si lolo ang may sabi, papayag ako. Lab na lab ko kasi fsmily ko and maybe someday it will be for the better.
"Dad, Mom, I'm sure naman na gusto ninyong makuha ko yung boy na mahal ko without being arranged by you. Kaso hindi naman yata lumalabas, malay natin, siguro yung fiance ko yung prince charming ko eh, so I understand your reasons..." At hinug ko sila.
Biglang huminga ng maluwag si daddy at nagsmile ako sa kanya bago nag kiss sa cheeks nilang dalawa. Nag hold hands sila at tumingin sa isa't isa.
"Anyway, who am I gonna marry by the way?" tanong ko with a curious tone, gusto ko kasing malaman kung sino ang mapapangasawa ko someday.
"Si Cyrus Clyde Montala honey." sabi nila ng sabay.
"WHAT? Si CYRUS CLYDE MONTALA ang fiance ko?" sabi ko with a tone na may halong shock, inis at surprise.
Biglang natahimik sina mom and dad at tumingin sa isa't isa na parang problemado.
"honey, please, gusto kasi ng mga lolo ninyo yun eh and good for the business kasi nga may utang ang family ni Clyde sa lolo mo... So please..." pleaded my dad. I inhaled and just sighed before nodding... Maybe I will wake up tomorrow and everything will be normal.
