Marrying my ultimate crush?

Prologue

Kenxie's

Tuluyan na akong humiga sa kama, sobrang nakaka-stress at nakakapagod sa school. Andaming activity at kailangan ko pa atang magsunog ng kilay para sa finals namin. Calm down, Mckenzie! You can do it.

I tried to cheer myself, so I can get up in my bed to study. My whole body is numb, too tired of whole morning and afternoon in the school.

I'll just take a nap! I alarm my phone, 7:30 will do! Magrereview ako para sa finals.

But then Ate interupt my rest, anu kayang kailangan niya? I'm so tired to chichat with her. Still, I closed my eyes I don't care anymore if she's in the edge of my bed.

'Hey hey, Missy! Get up!' Binato niya pa ako unan ko, such an interuption!

'Yes, Dear sister? What can I do for you? Can't you see I'm trying to get a nap, I need to review for the finals!' Angil ko. Pinikit ko na lang uli ang mata but then binato niya uli ako ng una. Damn man, that's irritating!

Tinagilid ko ang ulo ko sa kama para makaharap siya at tiningnan siya ng masama. Binigyan niya lang naman ako ng nakakabarinong ngiti. What a pleasant!

'Mom and Dad wants to talk to you, Missy girl duh!' Maarte niyang sabi. I don't know kung bakit naging kapatid ko to e! Totally opposite kami.

Bumangon ako. It's Mom and Dad for sure pag hindi ako sumunod, ilang sermon at disappoint na naman ang maririnig ko sakanila.

'Bakit daw?' Tanong ko kay Ate na nagcecellphone na. Lumapit naman ako sa salamin at kinuha ang suklay. Mag-ayos muna ako bago humarap sakanila. Mom will get mad pag nakita niya kung gaano ka-lukot at kastress ang mukha ko. She wants me to be the prim and proper girl, you know I just can't!

'I don't know either! Kuya is there too!' It's important. Mom and Dad is there, also kuya is there and ate. Hmm what it is kaya?

Btw, I'm a grade 12 student. My strand is ABM. Business Management! Dad is handling our company as well as my grandfather. Siguro'y pag-dating ng panahon, isa na rin ako sa maghahawak ng kompanya nila. Dad pursue me take ABM kahit ang gusto ko naman talaga ay mag-HUMMS, balak ko sana kunin ay Education na lang. Yup, I like to teach somehow ngunit sabi ni Dad ay wala daw akong mapapala dun.

'Let's go, Ate!' Tumayo na siya at ako naman ay sumunod na lang sakanya.

Body straight. Chin up. Smile. That's my Mom wants me to do everytime will see each other. I don't want to dis-appoint her again! No not anymore.

We reach Dad's office. Okay, Kenxie! Smile.

'Hi, Mom!' Bati ni Ate. She's mom favorite. Prim and proper kasi si ate.

Samantalang ako, idk. Just a kind of girl who's pursuing herself in study and not letting her parents disappointed.

'Goodevening, Mom and Dad!' Lumapit ako sakanila and I gave them a peck of kiss in their cheeks.

Tumango lang si Mommy sakin habang si Dad ay nanatiling seryoso sa pagtingin ng papeles sa table niya.

'Hi, Kuya!' I gave him a big hug. I miss him so much. I can't jump happily, magagalit si Mommy sa ka-gaslawan ko.

He muttered 'later'. Tumango lang ako sakanya, bonding siguro kami mamaya or chichat about happenings in our lives.

'Kenxie..' Dad's autorative voice sent shivered in my skin, maybe kaba.

'Yes po, Dad?' I bit my nails. That's my mannerism. Napatingin ako kay Mommy na masama ang tingin sa mga kinangatngat kong kuko kaya binaba ko agad ito.

Kaba ang nararamdaman ko ngayon. Kumpleto kami at panigurado'y importante pa to' sa importante at sakin lahat naka-focus ang tingin nila. Dad wouldn't call Kuya for just a shit talk.

Did I fail again? Did I disappoint them again? May ginawa ba akong masama? Dang! I can't stop remembering what did I do this past few day. I don't even remember that I make a mistake that surely disappoint them.

'I'll be straight to the point, Kenxie..' Then bakit siya tumigil sa pag-sasalita? He look at Mom. Mom give Dad a nod and a smile.

'You will have a fixed marriage soon.' My eyes winded! What it is again?

'What, Da-d?' My words are shuttering. Maybe I just misheard what Dad said.

'Kenxie, my baby girl.. You'll have a fixed marriage soon.' No way. Fixed marriage? No..

Why? Why me? Why not Ate? I don't want to be knotted to a man I don't love.

My hands are shaking. No words are coming out in my mouth. I want to fight for myself for once in my life but in the end sila pa din naman ang mananalo nang wala akong nagagawa.

I'm still the dog of the family.
