CHAPTER 22 | SELFISH


Despite of following my parents decisions for me, I'm still free to do what I want.


I thought they will also support me in loving a person they don't want me to.


My debut will be next week. November.


"What do you think, Maris? I want a dark and elegant theme of your sister's debut," my mom asked my sister who's busy watching the view outside the car.


"I'll go with dad's plan," my sister answered that made reacted.


"What?! No! I'll go with mom," I inserted.


Dad wants a bright and cute theme for me but I don't think it will fit me. I'm not cute and I don't like it.


"Okay," mom uttered while dad just nod before all of us became silent.


I don't know what boutique are we going on to. I thought that mom will still go at Crystal's but they chose a different one.


We are already at the bridge of Cagayan de Oro river. I was looking on the clear water of the river when my phone suddenly beep that made me took it out from my jeans pocket.


Race:

Did you already arrive?


You:

No. We're still stuck on a traffic here in the bridge.


Race:

Okay. Just update me.


You:

Okay.


Race:

Bea.


You:

What?


Race:

When are you going to tell them about us?


His question left me speechless. I don't know what to reply. I don't know why.


It's been a month but I suddenly felt something different about us. It was like I'm not ready to engage in a relationship but I still did. I'm afraid that he will be taken away from me.


I can't understand my feeling right now. I am just so confused.


I don't also have the courage to tell my parents about Race. I'm afraid that they will be mad about me having a relationship to him.


But if I really love Race, then I should defend him, right?


Few minutes and we already arrived to an unfamiliar building.
