We Got Married!

"Love is unpredictable."

Parang naubos lahaat ng energy sa katawan ko ng marinig ko yung sinabi ni Mommy.

I knew this day would come, but I didn't expect it to come this soon. English para intense.

"Mommy? Daddy? Sure na ba kayo jan?" tanong ko sa kanila

"This marriage, before it goes on any further, gusto lang namin i-clarify na itong kasal na 'to, this has nothing to do with business. We're just trying to fulfill your grandmother and my friend's mother's last wishes. You see, they were the best of friends, at kahit na pamilya na ang trato nila sa isa't isa, ang gusto nila, maging totoong pamilya sila. Unfortunately, parehas na babae ang naging anak nila, so it was passed down to their grandchildren." Mommy

Tumango tango kaming dalawa ni Kim, at ang bata, nagawa pa talagang tumango -_-

"Eh bakit hindi ako yung ipinasakal- este kasal niyo?" tanong ko

Tumaas yung kilay ni Mommy, "dahil lalaki yung anak ng kaibigan ko, gusto mong maikasal sa lalaki?" Mommy

"Ahhh, okay po." sagot ko

Napatingin kaming lahat kay Kim.

"What?" tanong niya

"Are you mad at us Princess? I know this is such a big change for you, but please..."

"Mommy, hindi po ako galit. Takot ko lang kay Lola noh," huminga siya ng malalim, "tsaka matagal ko na pong pinaghandaan 'to. You guys, telling me this news, and I'm sure, hindi niyo naman po ako ipapakasal sa isang masamang tao, diba po?" Kim

"Of course not, Nathaniel is a very nice man. I'm sure you'll like him." Daddy

(O_O) -> itsura ni Kim

"Baby? Okay ka lang?" halos maibuga niya yung tubig na iniinom niya

"Teka lang, Daddy... Nathaniel po?" Kim

"Yes? Is there something wrong?" Daddy

"No, nothing's wrong. Uhm, sige po, uhm, I'll get ready na."

Dali-dali siyang tumayo at parang baliw na kinausap yung sarili habang paakyat ng hagdan.
