I Crush You, Senyorito ✔

Thirty-eight

A glimpse of the past

Serafin Simon, the eldest son and the heir to the throne was a ruthless and unforgivable man.

Marami ang nangingilag at natatakot kong paano disiplinahin ni sef ang kanyang mga nasasakupan. Siya ang nag-iisa at natatanging papalit sa amang matagal na panahong nagsilbi at nagpatakbo sa iilang negosyo, mapa legal man o illegal.

Severino Simon was the bastard of his father. Kong gaano ka nakakatakot si sef ay siya namang kabaligtaran ni sev. He was a kind man. Kind enough to let the only woman he adores and love to let go.

Ermita magallanes dreamed of a simple life. A princess in the making. She was pampered all her life.

But one rainy night in the midst of all the chaos of her families tradition to make her marry the man they chooses for her. She meet him. She meet Severino 'sev' Simon. Her heart started to pound. Her mind was blank. She felt a spark. An electricty traveled through her body.

"Good evening my lady. I was sent here by my father and he asked me a favor, would you be willing to hear what favor he asked of me?" Awang ang bibig at di makapaniwala. Sa dami ng bisita sa okasyong dinaluhan ay siya ang natatangi netong kinausap.

"O-of course. What is that favor, if i may ask?"

"Well, will you marry me my lady?" Napasinghap si mita sa gulat. Brusko at arogante ang lalaki. Unang beses silang nagkita at tatanungin siya neto ng kasal. What a jerk!

"Are you kidding me!?" Umangat ang labi ni sev.

"My brother is your supposedly fiancee but he can't come. He won't. That's why I'm here. So what's your answer. I need a YES my lady. Your family will be in danger if you won't accept my proposal" nanlaki ang mata ni mita

"Proposal? You call that question a proposal? Are you fine? Aren't you sick?" Sumigaw na si mita. Naiinis na siya sa kaarogantehan ng lalaki. At bakit magiging peligroso ang kanyang buhay? Bakit!?

"The judge is already here. Let's get married today dear" and sev drag mita to the door kong saan papasok pa lamang ang nasabing huwes. Nagpupumiglas si mita. Hindi mapaniwalaan ang nangyayari. Naguguluhan siya! Gusto niyang magmura dahil sa inis at frustration.

"Oh nandito kana pala sev. Judge adriano is already here. I assume you already meet my daughter ermita iho" hawak hawak kasi siya ni sev ng mahigpit at doon nakatingin ang ina ni mita sa braso niya na hawak ni sev at kamay neto.

"Ugh! I am not marrying anyone mom!" Nag-iwas ng tingin ang ina. Her father cleared its throat

"Our business is going down mita. Malaki ang utang naten sa mga simon at ikaw ang hiningeng kabayaran ni salvo-"

Naiiyak si mita sa nangyayari

"At pambayad utang na lamang ako ngayon. Fuck life!"

"Your words ermita!" Sita ng ama sa dalaga.

Tumawa si sev.

"I like you cursing my mita. You know you should be grateful i am the one marrying you. I don't bite dear" ngumisi si sev. Kumislap ang mga mata neto at nakita ni mita ang ibinabadya netong emosyon. Natigilan ang dalaga. Why she saw pain and sadness. But her lips and words were contrasting.

"Let's start judge M"

And that's where mita's and sev's life started.

They married without love. Sev never learned to love mita. Mita's loved sev. Loved him with all her heart.

Mita learned to toughen her heart and resolve.

Akala niya hindi siya mahal ni sev. Sa ilang taon nilang pagsasama ay nalaman niya na first love ni sev ang asawa ng kapatid netong si sef. Nagparaya si sev. That's how selfless he is. Mabait at mapagbigay, masunurin. Mga katangiang nagustuhan ni mita kay sev na ikinaiinis niya dahil hindi marunong tumanggi si sev kapag may pabor na hinihingi ang ama at kapatid neto.
