MACY’S POV
“Good morning anak, eat your breakfast na. Gising na si Janarah?”
“Good morning din dad :* Morning din mom :*
Di pa po gising si Ja eh. Pagod yun, kakapractice ng pep. Tsaka 11:30 pa naman ata pasok nun.”
“Osige na, eat ka lang ha. Gotta go to work. Study hard, sweetie :*”
“Bye dad! Love you! Ingat ha :D”
Si dad talaga.. Puro work.. Muka nga siyang stressed kagabi :/
I heard pa nga, nagaaway sila ni Tito Alvin, yung dad ni Jeron. I thought they were good friends. Pero narinig ko kagabe..
~~~ flashback ~~~
“You’re a traitor Alvin!” –dad
“No, I’m not, Carlos! It’s not my fault kung mas maraming clients ang lumalapit sa Teng Enterprise.”
“Wag ka ng magpakitang tao, your son and my daughter’s marriage shall be cancelled!”
“It’s fine, kung tutuusin. Madami pa naman diyang iba, na mas mayaman sa inyo. Katulad na lamang ng mga Tiu.”
~~~end~~~
And yeah, ayun lang narinig ko kasi nagulat ako na Jeron and I were gonna get married by our parents! What if, kung di nagtalo si Dad at si Tito Alvin, edi matutuloy ang kasal namin ng halimaw na Jeron na yun? Yaaaak! But.. The sad part is, dad and tito alvin used to be good friends, and good partners in business. Kaso, yun nga. Nagkaaway sila kasi, the way I see it, bumababa ang sales ng company namin.
Anyway I’m gonna be late.
“Mom, I’m off to school.”
“You take care ha. And, please lang anak, layuan mo na si Jeron.”
Why? Um, kahapon nga lang kami nakapagusap ng matagal kahit it seems short sa iba. Matagal na yun para sakin. Ayun yung paguusap namin matagal na hindi nagtatalo. But.. I must follow my parents. Alam ko narin naman ang naging situation eh.
“Um, yes mom. Di naman po kami close nun. I just know him by his name.”
Hay, no! Bakit ba ganito nararamdaman ko? Parang na-sad ako ng nalaman kong bawal ko na kausapin si Jeron :((
Statistics nga pala subject ko ngayon na kaklase ko si Jeron. Good thing walang seating arrangement dun.
Ayy, shet. Pagkapasok ko ako nalang ang wala, kumpleto na. Bakit ganun, si Jeron lang walang katabi. Nu bayan! Kala ko pa naman malulubayan ko tong bakulaw na to. Psh!
“Hey! Laureen! Sit here, beside me :)”
“Why’s that wala kang katabi?” I asked.
“I told everyone na walang uupo sa tabi ko kundi ikaw.”
“You don’t have to. Ayaw kitang katabi, Jeron.”
“Good Morning!” –Mr. Avila, our statistics prof.
“Good Morning, Mr. Avila” –Class’ greetings.
“Maupo ka na, andiyan na yung prof. wala ka ng ibang mauupuan oh. ano tatayo ka? Wag mo ngang pairalin yang kaartehan mo.”
Hay! It left me no choice but to sit beside him, DARN!
Awkward silence. I can see him looking at me through my peripheral vision. Don’t look at me, naiilang ako :/
Just right after 1 hr of discussion, I immediately stand up and leave the room. At grabe naman pala, hinabol pa ko ng bakulaw.
“Laureen, wait! Laureen!”
Binilisan ko ang paglakad para di niya ko mahabol. But then, he manages to grab my hand.
“Laureen! What’s your problem?”
“You don’t know what my problem is? Or should I say our family’s problem.”
“Easy ka lang, di pa kita napapakasalan, wala pa tayong family. Hehe.”
“It’s not that! Can you please just be serious this time?! DAPAT NA KITANG LAYUAN JERON! MAGKAAWAY NA ANG PAMILYA NATIN! AND YOU KNOW WHAT?! NUNG MAGKAAYOS PA SILA, WE WERE ARRANGED TO GET MARRIED! AND I DONT WANT TO GET MARRIED SA ISANG LALAKING KATULAD MO!”
He was shocked. He was shocked to everything I said.
“We were--- arranged... to get married?” He asked shockingly.
“Yes we were! But it doesn’t matter anyway! Let’s just stay away from each other. Tama ng nagkausap tayo ng matagal kahapon sa cafe. Once is enough, Jeron.”
“But—“
“You have to do it. We have to.” I didn’t realize that my eyes started to cry.
Then I went to the restroom so that I can wash my face.
It happen na, andun din si Candice Tiu, another popular girl. The daughter of the company president, Mr. Albert Tiu, na kalaban ng company namin and soon to be partner ng Teng Enterprise. And...
Siya na ang ipapakasal kay Jeron :/
Waaaaaaaah! I’m so confused, is it because that the guy I used to hate, the guy that I cursed the most. the guy that I should never fall for – Jeron.. Got my heart already? Oh no! :(
“So I heard, I’m the one gonna get married to Jeron. Right, Laureen?” she asked in a sarcastic tone.
“Yeah, um. Good luck. I wish you two the best of everything.”
then she just leave with the satisfaction that I’m not affected.
Am I not affected ba talaga? :/
*KRINGGGGGGG KRINGGGGGG*
Mommy Calling..
“Hello mom? Why po?”
“Anak! Go to St. Luke’s Hospital right now! Your d-dda-dad!”
“HUH?! WHAT HAPPENED KAY DADDY?!”
WHAT IS HAPPENING WITH MY LIFE! PURO NALANG STRESS AND PROBLEMS AND TROUBLES AND SHIIIIITTTTTS! UGHHH!
~~~Hospital~~~
“Mom! What happened? Where’s dad?!”
“Anak!” oh, my mom is crying. At nadala ako sa pagiyak niya T___T
“Mom, w-what h-happened?”
“Your dad’s gone.”
“WHAT?! HOW?! WHY?! WHERE IS HE?”
“I dont even know the motives of the killers, but there’s one thing for sure. It’s all about the business, the company, and his position. He was shot right into his heart.”
“WHAAAT?!”
“Macy!”
“Janarah! :(((( dad’s gone T_______T” Said I as we hug each other.
“I’m so sorry. Don’t worry, I’m still here. Look at me, hey, I don’t have a dad too.”
“I promise that I’m gonna find out who did this to dad”
Bakit parang alam ko na kung sino may pakana kung bakit namatay ang daddy ko. Ang lakas ng nakukutuban ko na sila talaga ang nagplan. One thing I know, I suspect them. His family.
Jeron Teng’s Family. They killed my dad. Tito alvin was the last person that dad talked to last night. Not just a simple talk, but an argument. At bilang mayaman at sikat sa industry, marami silang kapit. Oo, naaamoy kong sila nga. They’ll pay for this big time!

HumorI lied. I lied that I’m not falling for this oh-so-perfect guy. But he’s the guy I should never fall for. He’s the worst. His family’s the worst. First, their family took away my dad. Second, they overthrown our business. Third, WHAAAAAAAAT?! I’m g...
