CHAPTER 02

FOR a month ay gano'n ang naging routine namin ni Xairuz, it's actually feels good na kahit papa'no ay nagiging okay na kami. Kahit sa mga kapatid niya at asawa ng mga kapatid niya ay naging maayos at magaan ang loob ko.

Next month na ang kasal namin ni Xairuz and our families were busy preparing for it. Walang emosyong nakaupo si Xairuz sa tabi ko habang pinag-uusapan ng mga magulang namin ang kasal naming dalawa. This is torture.

Napipilitan siyang magpakasal sa akin, I know that and I can feel it, no need to hide it from me. Siguro may girlfriend siya bago kami pumasok sa kung ano mang kalokohang 'to, maybe he promised his girlfriend marriage and forever kaya naman ngayon napipilitan siyang pakisamahan at pakasalan ako because of his mom.

I should offer him an annulment, right? Pareho naming hindi gusto 'to kaya naman paniguradong papayag siya, I can sense that this is only for a show. Hindi ko alam kung anong trip ng mga magulang ko at sinet up nila ako sa ganito, not that I'm complaining but hell I'm almost already 30 years old, I can already decide for myself.

But my family controlled everything around me, even my passion for writing poems and stories got canceled because of them. Nagagawa nga naman ng kapangyarihan, they set me up to a man who can run our empire dahil umayaw ako and I'm the only child kaya hindi nila matanggap yun. This is how they planned to solve this.

Montecillo Empire, a successful business empire in the country. My father devoted his life to run the empire and make it successful, my mother supported him all through out his journey. Chains of hotels, resorts, banks and shipments all over the country and throughout some countries too. Powerful, isn't?

And now that they're old and just wanting to relax and have fun, they wanted to pass me down the empire to handle. I refuse, I'm just a mere writer to even run a business empire. Business is not my thing.

So they came up with a plan, and that is to get me married to a business man who can run the empire and to let me continue my passion for writing. Their gain for my freedom, fair enough? I hope so.

My family wouldn't know that I'll be offering him annulment to let us live the life we want and to love the person we truly love the most, not this set up. If I were to marry someone that would be the person I love and loves me too, I don't want a marriage of convenience.

DATES from dates ay medyo gumaan ang pakiramdam ko kay Xairuz, he's still cold yet civil and that's good enough. While getting ready for the wedding, I need to check my wedding gown.

For other women it's a special day, getting excited to be married to the person they love but for me? It's not. Seeing my wedding dress reminded me that I'll be marrying someone because of my family and not because of love.

A long white beautiful wedding dress is right in front of my eyes, with beads of crystals and diamonds that is specially made just for me. A see through flower designed sleeves with crystals, if I would wear this, I'm totally covered up especially my private part.

I also witnessed how beautiful my flower crown is, covered with light blue flowers and crystal gems and a baby pink tie. It's wonderful.

Days to count and soon I'll be Mrs. Costillano too, and I'm not feeling happy about it except for the part my freedom is back and I'll be back writing.

"YOU look wonderful, miss. I'm sure the groom will droll over you." My stylist told me.

Wearing my beautiful wedding gown, my hair is in bun and my make up is gorgeous, it's a light make up with a red magnificent lips. And when my stylist inserted my flower crown? I look like a damn goddess.
