Chapter Twenty Six (Arranged Marriage Part 1)

Mitch Pov

Its like my whole world collapse.

im now alone here at my condo, kaaalis lang ni ivan dahil may kailangan daw siyang puntahan pero dapat hindi siya aalis kasi daw ayaw niya kong iwan pero sinabi ko wag na since today is the arival of my mom.

Nakaupo ako at yakap yakap ko ang mga binti ko. I can't stop crying. Ang hirap tanggapin at intindihin lahat ng mga nangyayare.. akala ko may happy ending.. akala ko pwede din yun sakin.. akala ko happy ending talaga ang pagmamahalan ng mga magulang ko but i was wrong.

Flashback

"Say ahh dear. Ahh!"

"Thank you honey i love you."

"Kyaaa! Mommy and Daddy, why si sweet? Wieeeee"

nagpipicnic kami ngayon sa tagaytay and were also celebrating mom's birthday.

Its really nice to see both of them to that sweet at so inlove with each other.

"Come here princess. Come." my dad said and sit beside him.

"Know my princess? Someday, when you're old enough and you finally met your prince you may also be like your mom." he said while looking to my mom's face.

My mom is busy preparing our lunch and i know its my favorite. ^O^

"Dad?"-me

"Yes. Darling?"-him

"Please don't hurt mom. She don't deserve it. And please make her smile always. Please?" i was giving him my cutest act so that he'll promise me.

Yes. I'm just 9 years old but i know that when you love someone you'll do everything to make him/her happy and tried not to hurt him/her. And i can see how much my mom loves my dad, every smile she wear i know its all because of my dad. But if course i still want my father to make a promise.

"You don't have to say it baby.. i love your mom and i will always do."

End of Flashback

"You don't have to say it baby.. i love your mom and i will always do."

Love her? Tch. Pathetic.

I can't help but be to angry to my dad, i know i don't know the whole story but the point here is he hurt my mom. He made her cry and feel broken. And all my nerves just wanted to kill the out of him even if he's still my dad. Fuck. He made a promise right?

I thought everything about them is faith. Faith to be happy together but then i was wrong...

No one can blame me of being this angry and having this anger towards my dad. How could he?

*Ring*

~Hija pumunta ka dito sa company natin nandito na ko.

I recieved a text from my mother. i fixed myself and follow her.

"Ma? bakit hindi ka muna umuwi at magpahinga? hay nako naman ma..look at you sige ka magkakawrinkles ka niya."

Sermon ko sa mama ko na may halong biro pagkakita't pagkakita palang namin. Konti na lang maiiyak na ulit ako. Ang mommy ko.. namumugto ang mga mata at namumutla, and its all because of him.

"Hija? let me introduce to Mr. Dominic Chuaquico"-her

Say Whuuuat? What is he doing here?

"What are doing here?" tanong ko sakanya.

"Magkakilala kayo?" singit ng mommy ko.

walang umimik samin ni dom at binaling ulit ang tingin kay mommy.

"So i guess, theres no reason para i-introduce ko pa kayo sa isa't-isa, pero" putol niya.

"Mitch? he will be your husband soon. me and dominic's parents arrange your wedding and it will be next month" dagdag niya.

Wait.. What?

"Arranged Marriage?"
