LIES AND TRUTH (ONE-SHOT STORY)
“NOOOOOOOOOOOO!” Malakas na sigaw ng isang dalaga. Dinig na dinig ang boses nito sa buong kabahayan sa lakas ng pagkakasigaw nito na nagmumula sa may study room.
“Calm down Collette. Why are you screaming at your father?” anang ginoo na ama ng dalaga.
“You want me to calm down? You want me to CALM DOWN? For goodness sake dad, how can I calm down when you want me to marry a stranger all of a sudden? Dad, this is insane!” histerikal na wika ng dalaga.
“Hija, Axel is a good guy. And I know he will be a responsible husband for you. He’s smart, handsome and rich. He can help you manage our business when I’m gone.” Anang kanyang ama. “And he is your childhood friend before his family migrated abroad. Hindi mo na ba siya natatandaan.
“No! You cannot drag me into this foolishness of yours!” ani Collette. “Hindi ko siya natatandaan at kung matandaan ko man siya, di ko pa rin siya pakakasalan.” at tumayo na para iwan ang kanyang ama.
Collete couldn't understand her father for bringing up that arranged marriage all of a sudden. Axel is part of his past and she already buried his memories together with their friendship. Kaya naman hindi niya maintindihan kung bakit bigla na lang itong susulpot sa buhay niya at gusto siyang pakasalan.
She needs to find a way to escape at ang tanging paraan na naisip niya eh ang tumakas at manirahan sa isang pribadong isla na pagmamay-ari ng dati niyang manliligaw. But what if destiny steps in and she meet someone she would fall for? Will she go for it to revenge with her father or will karma walks in?
