ARIA's POV
Today's Sunday. Pagkatapos ng pag-uusap namin sa study room last night, hindi na ako lumabas pa ng kwarto. Hindi ko man lang naharap sila P sa party. Hindi na rin ako pinilit nila mommy na lumabas ng kwarto dahil alam nila kung paano ako nabigla sa mga pangyayari. At syempre masama parin ang loob ko sakanila.
Hindi nga ako nakatulog magdamag kakaisip kung totoo ba talaga lahat ng ito o isang malaking prank lang. Pero shit lang. I'm really engaged. Engaged with Gino delos Reyes.
No. Scratch that. Engaged with Gino Nathaniel delos Reyes ARCHIBALD. What the hell.
It's already 10 am but I don't wanna get up on my bed. Today's supposed to be the start of the 6 months deal with our parents. Kaya mo to Aria. 6 months will pass by like a blink of an eye. Pagkatapos nun, malaya na ako ulit at hindi na mapipilit pa.
I got up on bed and started to have a shower. After that, inayos ko na ang mga gamit ko. Para ba akong pinapalayas sa bahay namin at pinapa-ampon sa iba. T____T
*toktok* *toktok*
Pero hindi ako umimik.
Nagbukas ang pinto at nakita ko si Kuya Arkin na papasok. Hindi ko naman siya pinansin na para bang hindi ko siya nakita. Nagpatuloy lang ako sa pag-iimpake.
"Aria.. I'm sorry for keeping this from you. Mom and dad told me not to tell you." Panimula niya.
"So that's why you were with them in the States before coming here eh?" Nag-nod lang siya. Ayaw ko parin tumingin sakanya dahil ang sama sama ng loob ko.
"Akala ko pa man din tayo ang magkakampi sa lahat ng bagay.. Pero bakit feeling ko pinagka-isahan niyo ako. Ng sariling pamilya ko." Sabi ko at napaluha ako habang inilalagay ang mga gamit ko sa school sa bag.
Lumapit naman siya sa akin at niyakap ako. "Kakampi mo parin ako baby. Pero alam mo namang wala tayong magagawa pareho eh. At isa pa.. If you and Gino thing won't work after 6 months tapos na rin naman ang problema, right?"
Yeah. Tama nga. But do I have to suffer for 6 months?
"Hindi lang naman yun eh. Me and Gino.. Ugh. Never kami magkakasundo nun. And half brother siya ni Chace.."
"Yeah I know that. And I don't think Chace takes this issue well. I heard he was furious." Sabi ni Kuya.
"Malamang. To think na may something sa amin and he really hates his brother.. Ugh. This is chaos." Sabi ko and I sighed.
Kuya Arkin kissed me in the forehead. "It will all be fine. I believe you and Gino are both strong and smart. You can get through this."
Sana nga.
"Okay. I'll just wait you downstairs. Ako na maghahatid sayo sakanila. Bilin nila mama yun. Just follow the deal okay? Once na malaman nilang hindi kayo sumunod, there's no way out again, ipapakasal na nila talaga kayo. You're already both 18. They can do that."
Tssss.
*riiiiiingg*
P calling..
Omg. Hindi ko pa sila nakakausap since last night! T____T
"P?"
"Oh anong nangyari kagabi??! Hindi ka na lumabas sa party at yung tungkol sa.. Naguguluhan parin kami.."
"Yeah. I know. It's a lot to take in para akong magkakasakit.."
"Ano ba talaga ang nangyari?"
