His Possession

Chapter 5

Hindi ko alam kung dapat ko bang seryosohin ang sinabi niya sa akin o ipagsawalang bahala nalang. Siguro nasabi niya lang yun para di na ako makahindi sa pag papakasal sa kanya.

Pagdating namin sa airport na nakahanda na ang lahat pati passport ko, visa and everything. That's what money can make. Then I realized they owned one of the airlines. That's why it's easy to get everything with just the blink of an eye.

Sumakay na kami sa isang private plane papunta ng Spain kung saan kami magpapakasal. A day after tomorrow is my nineteenth birthday and I don't know if he has a knowledge about it pero sa pagkakilala ko sa kanya bago niya ako dinala sa ganitong sitwasyon he already knew about me, everything about me.

"We'll be staying in Barcelona for one week and we'll be back on my parent's anniversary and I'll introduce you to them." ano pa nga ba ang sasabihin ko when he already planned everything. Para akong puppet na walang ginawa kundi ang maging sunod-sunuran nalang.

I can't even think anymore. Everything happened too fast. Sana ganito din kabilis matapos ang lahat. Sana nga. Sana.

We landed on a place na kahit kailan hindi pumasok sa isip ko. But at the same time, my excitement is alive when I realise I am in the land of a great painter, but sadly, I can't see their works. Ang swerte ko di ba?

Bumukas ang malaking gate at pumasok na ang sasakyan na sinakyan namin na syang nagsundo sa amin sa airport. Nauna syang lumabas at pinagbuksan naman ako ng chauffeur ng pintuan habang nag aantay na sa harap ng doubledoor si Sean.

Huminga na naman ako ng malalim. Lumapit ako sa tabi niya. Hinawakan niya ako sa bewang dahilan ng pagtalon ko sa gulat. He just chuckled soundly. "You should use my touch, this is just a beginning and you know we'll do things more than this." bulong niya sa akin and it gave me chills in my spine. He must be kidding me. I am too young for that 'thing'.

I looked at him with disbelief but he just smiled. "You'll be my wife and you have to take all your responsibility as a wife and I'll give you all your needs." patuloy niya habang papasok kami sa malaking bahay.

Hindi na ako magtataka kung isa ito sa mga bahay niya around the globe. He can have everything he wants. He has billions to have all of these things. Does it make him happy? I bet not. Money is just a fleeting happiness.

"I don't need your money." paalala ko sa kanya. Tumawa sya ng pagak.

"Maybe not now, but you'll need them in time." hinatid niya ako sa magiging kwarto namin. Thinking we'll share the same room I want to run and hide. Aminado akong nakakaakit ang katawan niya at itsura pero hindi ko pa din maisip ang sarili ko kasama sya.

"For now, get some rest. Tonight is our night. Our wedding night." napalunok ako dahil sa narinig. I am going to be Mrs. Sean Isaac Del Rio.

Nanghihina akong napaupo sa malaking kama sa loob ng kwartong pinagdalhan niya sa akin. Hindi niya mman lang ako binigyan ng choice. A choice to be tie with him or not. He made a decision by himself. Hindi na kailangan ang desisyon mo dahil nakapagdesisyon na sya, tudyo ng utak ko.

Pinahiran ko na naman ang panibagong luha sa mga mata ko. This is your last tear to shed, Genesis. Humiga ako at pinikit ang mga mata ko. I feel a peaceful feeling. Best feeling so far for the last three days with this beast.

"Wake up sleepy heads!" bulong ng isang sexy'ng boses sa tenga ko. Mas lalo kong niyakap ang sarili ko sa malaking unan na kayakap ko. "You'll wake up or I'll kiss you now?" napadilat ako ng mata ng biglang banta ang narinig ko.

To my dismay, the face of my nightmare appeared. A beautiful nightmare. Damn beautiful. His perfect eyebrows, perfect long curly eyelashes, pointy nose, red heart lips na parang kay sarap kagatin, perfect jaw line which clenched for a second. And burning beautiful eyes. Then it hits me he's mad.

"You're too lazy. Get up now. We're getting late on our wedding day." iritado niyang utos sa akin. Day? Baka night. Nakatunganga lang ako, he pulled me up and pushed me inside the shower. "Make it fast. Don't wait for me for another hour."

Para naman akong binuhusan ng malamig na tubig. So, he's back to being a beast again dahil late na ako ng gising. He's so unpredictable.

Paglabas ko mula sa bathroom nakalatag na sa kama ang isang white dress na sa tantiya ko kay below the knee ang haba. May konting sequence itong beads sa chest part. Spaghetti strap sya na kahit simple lang pero ang ganda. May maliit na tiara sa tabi ng white Jimmy Choo sandals.

Sinuot ko na ang damit and, as usual, it suits me perfectly with sandals. Simple yet elegant. I braided my hair and put a tiara on it. Then, I'm done. Light make-up to lighten my face.

A minute after, may tumawag na sa akin and I assume isa ito sa mga staff or witness sa magaganap na kasal. She leads me the way patungo sa likurang bahagi ng malaking bahay.

Nanlaki ang mata ko sobrang paghanga sa venue ng kasal. Beautiful, na para bang pinaghandaan ang lahat. How can I say no on this kind of preparation? He planned everything without thinking if I agreed with it or what.

Bigla akong naexcite. I'm getting married now to one of the wealthiest men on earth.

As I stepped on the red carpet, the song that he chose started at it's peak. Di ko alam kung anong title ng kanta basta maganda ito. Hindi ko na din masabayan ang lyrics nito dahil nadala na ako sa emosyon ko.

I didn't think about the consequences. The future brings my sister and what will happen next when I see him waiting in front of a Pastor, He chooses to marry us. If only love leads us to this wedding, it would be as perfect as lovers share their vows. But we're not lovers nor friends. We're strangers who got married to pay my sister's debts and a guy who needs his inheritance.

I blinked when I felt my tears running down my face. Happy birthday and congratulations Genesis. I smiled bitterly on myself habang naisip na birthday ko na kinabukasan. Di man lang inabot sa birthday ko ang kasal.

Dahan-dahan akong naglalakad papunta sa altar. Papunta sa lalaking pakakasalan ko ngayon pero alam kong may hangganan. But it's a good thing knowing that this one ends and I hope it doesn't change anything.

Napatingin ako sa paligid ko. I saw a number of witnesses at this marriage and for sure they were his friends. Nakita ko pa sa gilid yung guy na nakita kong kasama niya noon sa cafè. He smiled at me and I hesitantly smiled back.

Tapos napadako na ang tingin ko sa harapan. Kahit di ganun kasinag ang ilaw sa venue kitang kita ko pa din how he stand perfectly.

Lahat nalang ata da kanya is perfect, where in fact nobody's perfect. Well, he's not perfect at all. He has flaws and his attitude is first on the list. He's moody or bipolar.

Madilim man ang paligid pero mas madilim ata ang itsura ni Mr. Groom. Ano na naman kaya ang problema nito. Ito na nga di ba? I am marrying him pero bakit parang iritado pa din sya.

Tumigil ako sa harapan niya. He grabbed my hand harshly at nilagay sa braso niya. "I don't want you to look at the other guy in front of me, do you understand?" mariin niyang bulong habang papalapit kami sa Pastor.

"Once you're married to me, you have to stay away from any other guy. You must be loyal to me. I don't want to hear anything about you, flirting with other men. Understood?" naningkit ang mata ko at napaawang ang bibig ko dahil sa narinig.

"Why?"

"Just do what I say. Once mine was mine. And you are mine. All alone."
