EFRAIM
When I first transferred to Ravier University, my Mom informed me that she and my Dad had agreed to arrange a marriage for me. Initially, I had no idea who the girl was, but when I saw a woman who fit my Mom's description of the "almost-perfect girl," I instantly knew it was her. She turned out to be my classmate, and I couldn't take my eyes off her.
Maswerte pa ako dahil sa likod niya ako pinaupo ng Prof namin. Her friends and other classmates approached me, but she was the only one who ignored my presence. As I observed her, the thought crossed my mind: 'Does she hate nerdy guys?' Does she despise me for being a 'nerd'? What if she discovers that I'll be her fiancé and husband in the future?
She seems difficult to approach, so I refrained from initiating conversation. I didn't want to risk being scolded or worse.
One day, while I was at the food court, a group of men approached me and instigated a fight. Despite my 'future fiancée' being there, she didn't intervene to defend me. Pumunta siya roon para awatin ang boyfriend niya. Yeah, I know she's in a relationship. She's so popular that wherever you go, you'll hear gossip about her and her friends.
When the day comes to meet my fiancée, I know she'll be shocked. I'm a little nervous, though. What if she slaps me or something?
"Mom, can we—"
"No, son. Whether you're ready or not, we're going to meet your fiancée. You have to behave like a good boy there, okay?" Mom smiled and grabbed her pouch.
Nauna na siyang lumabas at sumunod na lamang ako. Sumakay kami sa sasakyan kasama si Dad, of course. Hindi rin naman tumagal ang byahe at nakarating na kami.
Their mansion is magnificent, with a fountain surrounded by flowers.
Upon entering, my parents engaged in small talk with my future-fiancée's parents as we awaited her arrival. As anticipated, upon her return, confusion flashed in her eyes, her furrowed eyebrows betraying her awareness of our planned meeting. It was evident she was wondering, 'what-the-heck-is-that-nerd-doing-here.'
Her eyes widened as she discovered that I would be her fiancé. She threw a minor tantrum, and to provoke her further, I smirked as she stormed upstairs.
"Sorry for her behavior," her mother apologized.
"It's alright. It's understandable," sagot ni Dad.
Natural lang naman talagang magalit kung nerd ang ipapakasal sa maganda nilang anak. Hindi ba nila naisip iyon? Dapat inisip muna nila ang magiging reaksyon ng anak nila before making a decision. The fact that she has a boyfriend, talagang magagalit siya. Kulang na nga lang ay sumpain na niya ako kanina gamit ang mga titig niya.
Agad akong bumaba ng sasakyan nang makauwi at tinanggal ang malaki kong salamin sa mata.
"Mom, don't you think it was wrong? She has a boyfriend, and I don't want them to break up because of this arrangement."
