The Tradition

Chapter Two

Ang ginawa namin ni Mary? Nagshopping,kumain at nagshopping ulit.Hindi ko namalayang 6:00 na pala,nagpaalam ako kay Mary and I arrived 6:30. Omg they're already here. I enter the house and bring my things immediately on my room. Then I go downstairs.
"Sorry im late"
"By the way sam,they are the Diaz Family."mom introduce them
"Nice to meet you sam,such a beautiful young lady" sabi ni Mrs.Diaz
"Nice meeting you rin po" sabi ko at nagfake smile:-)
Aba may kasama pala sila,siguro body guard. Pero infairness gwapo naman siya pero parang ang sungit.
"Lets have some dinner" anyaya ni mommy
Kaharap ko sa table yung masungit na lalaki.Tsk! Nasa kalagitnaan na ng hapunan at nagsalita si Mr.Diaz.
" I think you already know our intention why we came here"
"Of course Mr.Diaz" sagot ni dad
"We have to follow our tradition,the first grandson of Diaz Family and the last granddaughter of Buenavista Family should do or fulfill" dagdag ni Mr.Diaz
Nagtaka ako. I am the last granddaughter of Buenvista's.Wait what tradition?
"Dad tungkol sa anong tradition? Wait I mean what tradition?" sabi ko na nagtataka
"By the way anak he's Mr.Clyde Perfecr Diaz" pakilala ni mommy kay mr.sungit. Akalain anak pala siya ng mga Diaz.
"Nice to meet you by the way Im Samantha Yvonne Buenavista" then i fake smile again
Tumango lang siya,bastos talaga wala pang modo.
"Dad what tradition?!" tanong ko ulit
"You're gonna marry him",sabay turo sa lalaking nasa harap ko muntik na kong mabilaukan sa sinabi ni dad.
"Wait!What?! Im going to marry this old man in front of me?" I shouted.
"What did you say?" sabi ni Clyde at tumayo sa kinauupuan niya.
" I will not marry you! Im just 21 years old at hindi ko pakakasalan ang kagaya mo!" sumbat ko.
" For your information Ms. Samantha Yvonne Buenavista. First of all Im not an old man because Im just 31 years old,So shut up your mouth!" Clyde said with high voice
" Wow! Hindi pa old ang tawag mo sa 31 years old Mr. Clyde Perfect Diaz,isipin mo nga yung age gap natin. Ulol!" malakas na sabi ko.
"What did you just day again Ms. Sam? Mr. And Mrs. Buenavista , I have already my decision. I will marry her." he pointed at me.
"What?!"
"Okay we have already our decision" sabi ni Mr. Diaz
"When is the wedding?" tanong ni dad
"Two weeks from now" sabi ni Mr.Diaz
"Excuse me"  paalam ko at tumayo sa kinauupuan. I come to my room and I cant believe what happened. Im going to marry? What the heck! Why are they doing this to me? I really hate them.Unti unting bumabagsak ang mga luha ko habang nakaupo sa gilid ng kama then the door suddenly open.
"Sam, are you okay?" si mommy pala
"Do you think that i will be okay for what have you done?" sagot ko
"Samantha! You have no manners! Pinahiya mo ang pamilya natin sa mga Diaz!" sigaw ni dad
"Anong pinahiya? Hindi naman nabago yung plan niyo diba? Ipapakasal niyo pa rin naman ako!" sigaw ko kay dad habang umiiyak
Biglang lumabas si daddy then he forcefully closed the door but My mom continue to comfort me.
"Its okay sam, you will love him not now but soon"
"Mom..."
"Just deal with the marriage but remember its not a game its sacred so give an importance on your marriage." dagdag ni mama at umalis. Humiga ako sa kama at umiyak pa lalo. I can't accept this!
