Sweety, are you done? We're going to be late ″ mom knocked from outside, so they're really determined to for me get married , tsk!
Yah mom, wait a minute ″ i replied.
I also went out after a few minutes, the car was ready to be used, it was rare tesla.
"I'm begging you Celestine, be good, don't embarrass us." Dad said, I just nodded and bowed.
As if I still have a choice? Duh, when they are decided then i can't do anything about it.
We arrived at a famous restaurant here in Laguna, im on the stage again, having to act well, dignified, respectable, in other words plastic.
We were greeted by a beautiful woman with her husband i guess, it's not obvious though coz they are as old as my mom and dad, and also I can see them when there are celebrations so it's quite familiar.
″ Hi ija, your so beautiful, your mom didn't make me dissapoint″ said Mrs. Velasco, ah I remember her, they are the Velasco couple, one of the most successful businesses in the country.
″ Your beautiful too Mrs. Velasco ″ I said with a smile, which turned into a grin. Dad seemed to see my reaction, so he scolded me with his look.
″ Ija call me mom too, my son will marry you in just 3 days. ″ Mrs. Velasco said happily.
″ Ah i call you aunt for now maybe, we weren't married yet so probably your not my mother in law yet ″ I said, I saw the tension in dad's jaw and mom sneezed.
Tsk what should i do? Accept it suddenly?
″ Ah that's fine ija, i know you were probably surprised, and were sorry for that. ″ Said AUNT supposedly, I just returned it with a smile, a plastic smile.
″ Ah there's my son, son i want you to meet, Celestine Bianca Emperial your future Wife ″ Mr Velasco said in the boy just arrived right now...
WHAT IS STEPHEN CYRUS VELASCO? the L.U. varsity player?
my future husband?
OMGGG i agreed in this marriage!! joke.
″ DAD I SAID I DON'T WANT THIS MARRIAGE! PLEASE I DON'T LIKE THIS! ″ Stephen shouted.
I almost jumped in the chair because of the anger that i see in Stephen.
″ Please son, they need us, when we are the ones they needs they are there for us, i hope you understand.″ Mr Velasco said.
″ Dad do it in another way, donate or whatever, just..just i dont want this fix marriage. ″ Stephen's face was furious.
″ Ahm yah, i don't agree in this marriage too, so please let's stop this thing, i think there's another way in this problem right? We don't like this fix marriage! ″ I ask, i trully don't like marriage too, i think my mind was too preoccupied a bit so my mind agreed earlier but right now, he looks like a demon when he was angry, i think its not a good idea.
″ No, this is the final decision, we are still your parents, you should follow, you both like it or not. Im sorry to the both of you but are decisions are final. ″ said Stephen's dad, he's also scary like dad.
″ Ready you too, in 3 days you both getting married. ″ Dad also said with full of sincerity and authority.
I went home with a broken heart, tears in my eyes, I was just thinking that a Stephen Cyrus would be the one to marry, it's horrible, I had a crush on him 3 years ago since then but it's all about sports and academics not because of his attitude. He's cold and demon, he's bully, but at the same time he's gentleman but in one girl, its Ariya.
I don't want to make any complicated decision but here it is, I really don't know what to do, as if I ran away, eh its impossible, mom and dad have so many connections in this country, they can easily find me, if I'm going to play, I don't have that in mind.
I just slept because for three days, I could no longer live as a maiden , but as a married woman..
I just woke up because of a suddenly ringtone of texts I received.
Hey its me Stephen
Call me if you free
Let's meet up
Hey
Please i need you now
Please call me if you read this.
I got shocked because of his many texts, and WTF? i need you now? Why Stephen?
I text him back, its already 9 pm.
Why? Im sorry i fell a sleep.
and then my phone suddenly vibrate again, he replied quickly..
Let's meet, at the park near your house.
Ok″ i replied
I just wore a hoody jacket and shorts because it was already cold and I decided to just walk because the park was nearby, I also brought a wallet because I wanted to go straight to 7/11.
I was supposed to be with him first, I first sat on the swing and fumbled with the cellphone, until a tall man came in a black hoddy jacket, and shorts, wow matchi-matchi are we?
done staring? ″ said a cold voice that from Stephen..
Yah ″
″ So I came here to talk to you, I'll gonna say that, I-DONT-LIKE THIS- MARRIAGE.″ he said slowly.
″ Me too huh? But can I do anything about it.″ I answered him.
It's true that I can't do anything anymore, what does he want? i will leave my own parents because he don't want to, and in the first place we are not about to decide about that.
″ You can do something, force your parents, this is your problem but I also feel problematic about it huh? ″ He asked me, his voice raisen, he was scary.
″ I don't know either, do you think I'm not involved in this?″ i asked him.
"You won't be affected but you will benefit, please stop this." He said with a pleading voice, I felt sorry for him but I really couldn't do anything.
"I can't do anything anymore, my parents didn't listen to me, I'll get married and we'll be married, that's where everything will end." I said, my decision is complete, I don't want anyone to object, if I can marry him, he is, I will just do the duty of being a good daughter and wife for him.
″WHAT THE f**k, I DON'T EVEN LIKE YOU, I LOVE SOMEONE ELSE, and she's the one I'm going to marry.″ he said angrily, he's shouting.
″ I said i can't do anything, even if you plead at me, i won't be the one to decide about that, our both parents agreed, so we can't do anything but love each other ″ i just said, im sorry because my family also needs you, so you have to sacrifice.
″ Can you hear yourself huh? Are you desperate too ha?, stop being selfish ″ he shouted at me while pointing at me.
″ Wow do you think being selfish to ha? I'm thinking of my family, your family and our company, I'm not being desperate nor selfish bastard. "
″ What did you called me? Ha a bastard ha! You b***h, I'm sorry but I didn't love you, even if we get married, you are selfish and your family, you sympathize with people who don't know about your problem and your campaign. ″ He said directly, before he turned around first he looked at me very cold and scary.
When I couldn't see him yet, I spoke
″Im sorry, i have to do this, yeah im selfish, and im sorry for being like that!. ″
