Only Together

Chapter 4

Wyona's POV

*ATISHOO* *ATISHOO* someones missing me

"Lie down and have rest! I will get some febrifuge for you!" Mom said in a worried tone

"Drink this ginger decoction"

Pumasok si Dad habang may dalang masangsang na amoy galling sa luya

"I don't want something spicy. Ilayo mo yan sakin Dad I prefer the modern medecines that that Western Medicine."

"Kasalanan mo kasi ito eh. You asked our daughter to run into Equinox Sandovals' car'on that expressway. It is raining hard that night yet you chose to sacrifice our daughter's safety."

"Ok it's my fault. Bakit alam ko bang uulan ng malakas eh hindi ako nainform na PHIVOLCS" sabi ni Dad habang nakapeace sign kam Mom

"Gago! BFAR yun hindi PHIVOLCS" sabat naman ni MOM, napailing nalang ako sa mga pinagsasabi nila hys

"Stop it will you? PAG-ASA po yun ok."

Napalingon sila ng sabihin ko yun. Kumamot pa si Dad sa kanyang ulo na parang bata at si Mom naman ay nakatitig lang sakin.

"I don't know if Nox will suspect me. Sabi nila mahirap daw siyang pakisamahan and it seems like they are all wrong. I think he is not that dumb. And there's no way that I will marry that man." Namilog ang kanilang mga mata.

"2 years ago you saved a paraplegic man in Palawan. Naalala mo ba?"
Napatigil ako sandali. Inaalala koyung nangyari nung nagbabakasyon kami sa Palawan when I was 16 years old. Hmm?? And then suddenly I remember something...

"NO WAY!" the one I saved is no other than Equinox Sandoval

"Yes way anak" sabi ni Dad ng nakangiti pa. it seems like he knows what I am thinking right now.

Sandoval's Mansion

"He said he would marry her? That is ridiculous! How could him?"
"In Palawan, tinulak natin siya para malaman kung talagang tunay na baldado siya. I don't believe such a beautiful girl would be willing to marry him."

"Keep it down! Don't let Dad hear it. Alam mo namang overprotective yun kay Nox"

Another Side of the Mansion

"Let's go to the storage room to pick some things and send it to the Cortez Family as a betrothal presents. And also invite that girl to our home for a dinner this Saturday para maging maganda ang takbo ng kanilang relasyon."

Mr. Sandoval is talking to Mrs. Sandoval as if everything is already settled.

Wynona's POV

"In that moment of life and death, shempre ililigtas ko siya without knowing who he is. And I saw it with my own eyes that he can't even save himself from drowning so why will I hesitate to help him."

"So, it is just a coincidence that you saved him. His subordinate Brix Wu is looking for you since then. Few days ago, he came into our old rest house in Palawan. I received a message na ang iniligtas mo daw noon ay si Mr. Sandoval." Dad said as if it is really a big deal after all.

"So he is not really dumb but a paraplegic? As long as he is paraplegic, I will be at ease to let our little Wy in marrying him. He will not consummate their marriage. Its a well-known thing. And after we get the benefits we need, their marriage can be ended. Bata pa naman ang ating Little Wy, makakapagasawa pa ulit siya."

Napairap nalang ako sa pinagsaaabi ng magulang ko. Hindi ko alam kung anong tumatakbo sa mga kokte nita at bakit pati ako kailangang madamay. Hyss! Balakayodyan 🤣
