For her, the news felt unreal like someone had rewritten her life without asking. An arranged marriage wasn't part of her plans, wasn't something she ever imagined choosing. "Hindi ba dapat may choice ako kung sino ang papakasalan ko?" she thought, torn between anger and fear. It wasn't just about marrying a stranger, it was about losing control over her own future.
For him, it felt like a quiet trap closing in. He didn't shout or protest right away. Instead, he stood there, processing the weight of responsibility, expectation, and duty placed on his shoulders. Saying no wasn't as easy as it sounded. "What happens if I refuse?" lingered in his mind, heavy and unanswered.
They reacted differently, but the same truth hit them both, this decision could change everything. It wasn't just about love anymore. It was about duty, family, and the consequences of choosing or not choosing at all.
If you were in their place, would you fight for the person you love, or accept the future that was already planned for you?
