Celestine's POV
"Dad where are we going?" He made me dress nicely and pulled me into his car. He seems in a hurry. I don't know what's going on anymore.
The other day when he learned about what happened in school, he was so furious. He did not let me attend school for few days. He grounded me, he took my phone and did not make me leave the house. I was not able to inform Akira or any of my friends.
"Dad! Where are we going?" I repeated since he did not answer and is just driving.
"You'll see when we get there."
I have a bad feeling about this. His austerity makes me anxious.
Few moments later we have arrived in a grand hotel. One lady lead us in and brought me in a room which I think a dressing room.
"Dress her up. Make sure my daughter is pretty." He said and left.
"Yes sir." They pulled me and made me sit as they do whatever they can.
"W-What's going on?" I asked they all look at me bewildered as if I said some weird things.
"What do you mean ma'am?" Tanong nung isa.
"I said what is going on? Why do I have to be dressed?" I frowned.
"I-It's your engagement party d-di po ba?" W-What?
It's my engagement day? With Alexander? I feel like my heart sunk. How can dad do this to me, forcing me to do things I don't like. Bakit pumayag si Alexander despite of me pleading?
I stood up na ikinagulat nila, tumungo ako sa pinto para sana tumakas but did not expect dad to be there.
"Where are you going?" He asked sternly. I look at him teary eyes.
"Dad....please don't make me do this." I pleaded.
"You have always been listening to me until now, Celestine. Why are you being so stubborn now? That person made you like this, didn't he? I only want what's best for you, that's why I want you to marry Alexander." He said. I shook my head as I let my tears go.
"I know you only want what's best for me but did you ever think if this will make me happy? Dad I love Akira with my life. If I marry someone else.....I don't know....I can't live my life the same again. I can't do that without him." I sob.
We promised to be together forever, I want to keep that promise. I want to spend my whole life with the man I love.
"Of course you will, I know you will. Alexander loves you, everything will be ok once you both get married." He assured. No. No. It won't work that way. I can't, if it's not him. It won't be the same.
He signaled the beauticians and pushed me back in.
"Stop crying. You can't change my mind." He said and close the door in front of me. They pulled me back on the seat and started to fix myself. This can't be happening. I need to escape. I have to leave....but how? I wipe my tears since it won't do anything.
"C-Can I barrow your phone?" I asked one of them. I have to make a call and inform Akira so he can take me away from here.
"Sure, here." Binigay nito ang phone niya. I dialed his number but it just keeps on ringing. I tried one more time and it does the same. Maybe he does not recognized the number that's why he is not answering?
"Is there something wrong?" Tanong nung babae. Umiling ako at binalik ang phone niya.
"W-Wala. Thank you po." Sabi ko. What should I do now? Without Akira's help I won't be able to escape.
