WERE MARRIED?

Simula

BEA

"Again?" inis na tanong ni Bea. "You have to anak, besides this will help us gain more wealth" ani ni mommy.

"No, mom I'm not gonna do it." malamig kong sabi.

"Please, Bea," she begged.

"No."

"Please!" nag- mamakaawa akong tiningnan si mama. 

"My answer is no and that. is. final" I sternly said.

Balak ko na sanang umalis ng aking marinig ang boses ni daddy.

"Beatrizze Wilson." he said.

I was always this nervous when it's my dad whose calling my name, it's like all the authority is on him. As soon as I turned back to them, ramdam ko ang tensyong unti-unting nabubuo.

"Where do you think you're going?" matigas niyang tanong. "In my office, saan mo ba ko gustong pumunta dad?" I said with a little hint of sarcasm in my voice. "Watch your mouth, young lady." ani niya. "Whatever." sabi ko sabay labas ng bahay na iyon.

Gusto na nanaman akong i-set up ni mommy kung kani-kanino. Actually this is the 6th time! Pero wala talaga kong interest sa mga ganyan ganyan. Gets ko naman na ako lang ang magbubuhat ng kompanya namin, and the fact that I'm only 23 years old ay gusto na nila akong ipakasal sa kung sino-sinong mayamang madadampot nila.

But love for me is a big distraction, gusto ko munang mag focus sa kung ano mang ginagawa ko. Pero dream ko pa ring makahanap ng true love, I know it's sounds cheesy, but what can I do I'm a girl!

"Were here, Ms. Wilson" sabi ng driver ko na nasa harap. "Thanks for the ride, Mang Robert!" I cheerfully said. Sa harap ay bubungad sayo ang isang mataas na building na may nakapaski na 'Wilson Group' . Ang pamilaya lang namin ay isa sa mga tinitingalang kompanya dito sa Pilipinas. We are known for our 'Wilson Jewelries' and 'Wilson Real Estates', at ako ang magiging tagapagmana ng lahat na iyon. 

I went inside and my secretary greeted me, "Good Morning, Ms. Wilson" si Emma. 

"What's my schedule today, Emma?" tanong habang patuloy na nag lalakad.

"Ma'am, you have a meeting at exactly 10:00 am, and you'll have a tour in our new headquarters at the 45th floor at exactly 2:30 ma'am." ani ni Emma.

"Good! now let's go to my office, nanamnamin ko muna ang dalawang oras kong bakante" I said flashing a smile to her.

Emma has been my secretary for 5 years, actually parang kapatid na rin ang turing ko sa kanya. She is always there whenever I have problems. Para na siyang ate sa akin. We eat together, we fangirl together and we always go shopping together.

"Bea! look!" sabi niya at saka tinapat sa akin ang kayang cellphone.

"Wait, legit ba toh?!" ani ko habang sinusuri ang kanyang telepono.

"Oo, naman noh!" ani niya.

"Well next month pa naman sila mag-coconcert, pero as soon as possible dapat makakuha ka ng dalawang VIP STANDING na ticket!" I ordered.

"W-wait...dalawa? para kanino ung isa?" tanong niya.

"Sa'yo malamang" simple kong sagot.

"WEHH?! talaga?" naninigurado niyang tanong. "Why? ayaw mo ba? okay, sa iba ko na  lang ibibigay" sagot ko "Charot lang!" sabi niya sabay halakhak.

HANS

"Were over." malamig kong sagot habang tinitingnan ang mga papeles ko. 

"What?!" Inis na tanong ni Kriystal na naka tayo ngayon sa aking harapan at galit na galit. "I. said. we. are. over" ulit ko pa sabay tingin sa kanya. 

"No you can't!" sigaw niya. "Why can't I?" I coldly asked.

"C-cause I'm pregnant" na uutal niyang sinabi. Sa tingin niya ba ay ganoon na lamang ako kabobo?? Hell no! "At ano nanamang palusot yan Krystal?" tanong ko.

"Palusot?! This is not a joke, Hans! This child inside me is yours!" sigaw pa niya.

"Ohh...Krystal, sa tingin mo ba ganoon na lang ako kabobo?Tsk!"

Napansin ko ang biglang pamumutla ni Krystal. "I'm not l-lying, Hans Vincent Gomez." she confidently said. F*ck! This is a stubborn one!

"Get out Krystal, were done!" utos ko.

"NO!" she screamed.

"I. SAID . GET .OUT!!" sigaw ko sabay hampas sa lamesang nasa harapan ko.

Damn! This morning is such a pain in the ass! 

"Sir, here's your schedule for the whole day." Peter said while handling me his iPad.

"A meeting at 'Wilson Group'?" tanong ko. 

"Yes, sir. Your father wants to have a collaboration between our company and theirs." matuwid niyang sinabi. 

"About what, Pete?" I simply asked.

"Mrs. Gomez, wants to have her own jewelry shop and your father wants to have a five star hotel, that is why you have to make a collaboration to them." He said and I just nod as an agreement.

Wala naman akong choice kung hindi sundin sila, Hindi ko naman kasi pinangarap na umupo sa isang swivel chair at mag basa na lang ng mga papeles araw araw. In short, I don't want to be involved in this company, kaso only child eh. And Krystal? She's just one of my toys. Wala akong sineseryosong relasyon, kumbaga sa kama lang talaga ako. Pati ang panililigaw ay never kong ginawa. 

My mom would always put me in some kind of blind date or more like a set up. She would always look for a rich girl and force me to marry her. Hindi talaga ako pabor diyan sa set up set u na yan! at sa palagay ko ay kaya gusto ni mama na makipag collab sa mga Wilson ay mayroon siguro silang anak na babae na i-rereto na naman niya saken.

Lagi kong tanong kay daddy kung paano niya kinaya si mama. Haysss

"Sir, kailangan na po nating umalis para po sa meeting." Peter said

"Five minutes!"
