The Sweetest Journey.

Chapter 1:

I take a nap pagka-dating ko pa lang sa bahay namin. Nakakainis man aminin, pero nasama ako sa Arrange Marriage na 'yan.

But I never knew who's that guy.. Who is my husband.

My phone rang for about five times na din siguro? Not sure. It is because I am sleepy but someone's really pissing me off.

"Hello?" I answered it na din. Nakakainis na kasi. Masyadong istorbo, unknown number lang naman!

Halata sa boses ko ang iritasyon at katamaran— Pati na din ang pagka-antok.

"Open your door, missy. Or else.."

"Or else, what?" Naningkit ang mata ko at agad in-end ang tawag. Bwisit. Sinilent ko na din ang phone ko pero dahil alam ko namang magva-vibrate siya, pinower-off ko nalang.

-

Nakarinig ako ng kalabog. Mukhang galing pa sa ibaba. Kaya agad akong lumabas, not noticing na ang gulo ng ayos ko ngayon.

I immediately ran on the stairs. Hindi naman ganito ka-ingay si Tita Lea.

My eyes widened when I saw a guy— who looks like nakainom. Naamoy ko na din ang alak kahit medyo malayo pa ako sa kanya.

"Who are you?" I shouted. "Where is Tita?!"

"Hello, love. I am Tristan. Your handsome husband." Kumaway pa siya at ni labas ang perfect set ng white teeth niya.

Fine, he looks so handsome but he is too conceited of himself. Ako lang ang may karapatan mag-yabang. Duh!

"Wait.. Husband?!" A sudden realization came into my mind. Akala ko ba matinong lalaki ang asawa ko!?

What is happening to earth!?

"If you are my husband, where are your baggages?" He did not answer, "Aha! Lasing ka lang talaga! But do you know who is my husband? Is he handsome? Does he look like a model? Where is he?"

"I. Am. Your. Husband. Understand?"

Ako naman ang hindi nakasagot. Ngayon na lang uli ako natakot ng ganito. Ugh!

"You don't have the rights to answer me like that!" Ang tangi ko nalang nasagot. Inirapan niya ako at nilagpasan ako.

Sinundan ko lang siya, "Aba't—?!"

Pumasok siya sa room ng HUSBAND ko sana. How did he know about that one? He's creeping me out. Really!

"Love, come here," and I stupidly went near him. I did not even noticed na inuuto lang niya ako.

He locked the door. I am not looking at him. Narinig ko lang ang pag-click nito.

"Umalis ka na nga dito!" I annoyingly said, not looking at him. Binack-hug lang ako nito at humiga sa kama— kaya nasama ako.

Back-hug? Lang?! What are you thinking, Maravino!? Really!?

My eyes widened. "Hoy!" Pumalag ako. I tried to escape but he is too strong.

Inaantok pa ako. Heck!

"Just sleep, love." Then I felt his lips in my head. He just kissed my head!

Baka panaginip nga lang ito. I really need to sleep! Ugh!
