Queen Bee's Diary

21- New Home

•• JUSTIN PoV ••

"MARRY ME."

Natulala lang siya sa sinabi ko. Her bruises were still visible. It's only a day after that incident and I can't let it happen again. I already know the reason why Elizabeth did this. Thanks to my reliable source.

Hindi na ako papayag na mangyari ulit 'to sa kanya. That Elizabeth will continually hurt her. She will use her at her own expense. She already committed Yshi to different men like a product that was sold to different clients.

"Justin, wag kang magpadalos-dalos." She's completely shocked about this proposal.

Napangiti ako at hinawakan ang kamay niya. I was never been sure in my entire life about this.

"Di ba, Bee, sabi mo, magtanan na tayo? Then let's make it legal." Malumanay na paliwanag ko sa kanya.

"Di ba sabi mo, ang babata pa natin? You're only nineteen." Pangatwiran niya.

"I know and you're only eighteen. But we have this so-called 'Secret wedding.'" Sabi ko at pinaliwanag ang rason ko. "Bee, ayoko namang kunin ka ng ganyan. I want you to be legally mine. Pakasal na tayo since dun din naman tayo papunta. I can't take you in without God's blessing on our relationship."

"Are you sure about this? Marriage is a serious matter." Nag-aalangan na tanong niya.

"I am sure. Are you?"

Unti-unting pumatak ang luha niya. "Yes, Bee. I'll marry you, kahit civil lang."

I stared at her for a couple of minutes completely stunned by her reply. Kahit pala napaka-informal ng proposal ko, napapayag ko siya.

Tumango ako at mabilis na nagtawag ng puwedeng magkasal sa'min.

That night, we got married and I take her with me. Dinala ko siya sa condo unit ko. It's all secured. Di nila basta-basta makukuha sa'kin si Yshi. I am her husband now and I will protect her at all cost. Wala ng mananakit sa kanya. If Elizabeth wants to have her, she has to pass me first.

The Next Day

"BUNSO, balita ko, tinanan mo na si Yshi, ah?" Tanong ni Kuya Aleixus ng dalawin nya ako. He probably heard the news from Jillian. Present kasi ang family ni Jillian sa secret wedding namin. Di ko alam na magpinsan pala sila. First-degree cousin, how was that? Kaya pala napaka-overprotective nila sa isa' isa.

"Yeah." Sagot ko.

"Dun kayo sa Sky 'di ba? Yung unit ko dun 'di ko masyadong ginagamit. Nakakatamad kasi dun. Ibebenta ko na lang sa'yo since alam ko namang ayaw mong mabuntis ng maaga yang Bee mo."

Ibebenta na nga lang ang unit niya sinama pa yung pagbubuntis. Tsk.

"No, I'll stay at the other—"

Tss. He cut me abruptly.

"Nako! Ano ka ba kapatid! Sa ganda ng girlfriend mo, hindi malayong madaming mababaliw kakasunod diyan. Do you think safe siya sa Sky? Madami pa namang barakong nag-stay dun. Nako lagot ka kapag naagaw yun sa'yo." Pananakot niya.

"It won't happen." Kalmadong sagot ko. Even if Yshi got everything, she never cheat on me, ngayon pa kayang naka-depende na siya sakin.

"Wag kang pakampante, kapatid. Kaya ko nga ibebenta yung unit ko sa'yo dahil alam kong mahirap dun lalo at nasa isang town house nakatira si Jillian. Ibebenta ko yun kasi bibilhin ko yung bahay sa tabi ng bahay nila. Babantayan ko siya. Aba mahirap ng walang parents yung babae 'no? Baka mapano pa."
