Nagpakasal ako sayo dahil alam kong yon ang magpapasaya kay papa, sabi ni Devon habang nakatalikod kay James.
Nasa loob sila ng kwarto, she was looking outside looking at the moon. Kanina inihatid na nila ang papa niya sa huling hantungan nito, there are instances that their eyes meet but all she can see was guilt and regret.
I was still young for this kind of relationship.
Hindi niya kayang isumbat dito ang kataksilang ginawa nito sa kanya, coz at the back of her mind she felt guilty as well. Guilt because she agrees of marrying him too, It was also her fault.
I still have lot of things to learn James, she said. Kailangan kong umalis, pinipigil ang mga luha. Hirap na hirap na ang damdamin niya, all she wanted to do right now it to leave the palce.
Wala akong alam to run our business she added, Dalawa ng jeep nila at may mga speed boats din na pina rerentahan ng kanyang ama, It was named after her when her papa died, dahil wala siyang alam sa pagpapatakbo sa mga yon ihinahabilin niya muna lahat ng ito kay James.
“Ikaw na ang bahala sa lahat.”
She didn’t hear anything to him, she turn around and to her dismay makatalikod din pala ito sa kanya, she don’t have any idea of what was his expression.
Bukas na ako aalis, madali naming bumili ng plane ticket dahil halos everyday my flight naman papuntang Manila kahit konti lang ang mga pasahero.
Wala naman siyang problema sa per dahil my sarili naman siyang account, bata pa lang siya ay pinagbabangko na siya ng kanyang papa. She can withdraw it all any time she need it, higit one hundred thousand ang laman non.
James, tawag niya dito. She wanted to hear his voice.
“I understand you,” there was no expression on his face.
She remember Ann, James sent Ann home to Bacolod. Hindi yon gagwin ni James kung hindi nito mahal si Ann, masakit mang isipin pero yon ang katotohanan na hindi siya ang pinakasalan nito kundi ang kanyang mana.
