I Married to a Notorious Man

Ziache's P.O.V Matagal na din akong narito sa lugar na ito. Simula nang umalis ako sa bahay namin. Hindi dahil sa strick ang parents ko, kundi, I want to make my father realize that I can stand on my own feet, and I'm not like my older sister. Nandito ako sa may isang cafe'. I was working here for almost one year and half. Pagka-alis ko kasi ng bahay naka-hanap agad ako ng trabaho. Marami kasing kabit bukod pa sa asawa niya. Malupit din. Nag-aaral din ako sa isang sikat na university ng mga Capmbell. Pumasok si Anne. Siya yung classmate ko, at kaibigan narin. Siya din yung dakilang marites dito sa 'min, Carrier kasi yan ng tsismis galing sa labas. "Zia, alam mo na ba yung balita?" bungad na tanong nito sa akin. "Anong news?" taka kong tanong. Imbis na sagutin ako, nag-salita ulit ito. "E-open natin yung tv, ah! May presscon daw kasi si Drico!!" sabi ni Anne. Yung katrabaho namin napa-iling nalang, pati din ako napa-iling na din. Bumalik na ako sa trabaho ko. Aba, mahirap na, at baka mawalan ako ng trabaho kungakikinig pa ako sa tsismis ni Anne. "Ayan nahh!!" impit na sigaw ni Anne. Pati si ate Mely nakisali na rin. "The Notorious Man: Drico Campbell is now in rumor. Many women are talking about Mr. Campbell and his child. Sasagutin niya ang mga katanungan ninyo, so girls listen carefully." sabi nung reporter. Tinuloy ko nalang ang gina-gawa ko. Napa-tingin ulit ako kina Anne ng magsi-sigaw na ang mga ito. "Sana sabihin niyang si Anne Reyes ang ina ng Anak ko!" nag-iilusyong bulalas ni Anne. "Luka-luka. Anong ikaw, ako yan." sabi ng bakla naming katrabaho. Tumigil na yung ingay nila Anne. Tapos nag -appear sa screen ng tv ang matangkad na lalaki. Gwapo nga siya. I admit, pero parang may kayabangang taglay naman. "At first I want to clarrify all the rumors between me and Crezzy. Crezzy was my cousin. And about the child, Yeah, It's true. I have." natigil ang lahat ng tao sa presscon, pati nga sina Anne natigil din. Pero may isang lalakin reporter ang nagka-lakas nang loob para mag-tanong. "No offencement, sir. Who is the mother of child?" tanong nito. Sandaling napa-tigil yung Drico, pero agad din itong ngumiti. "My girlfriend hate publicity. But I will convince her to attend the next presscon." at tumalikod na ka-agad. Bastos. Nag-salita yung cute na babae. "At sa presscon na yun, sasagutin niya lahat ng tanong niyo. But for now, aalis na kami." mahinhin nitong sabi, tsaka tumalikod. Natawa nalang ako sa mga naging reaksiyon nila Anne. "Bakit parang sobrang big deal naman ng magiging asawa nung Dricosa public at kailangan pa talaga ng presscon?" tanong ko nalang sa kanila. Si Anne ang sumagot. "Hoyy!! Ziache Delos santos kailan ka pa pina-nganak, huh? Syempre, public figure, notorious and top bachelor si Drico kaya natural lang na dapat malaman ng publiko kung sino ang future wife at ang ina ng Anak niya!" mahabang lintaya ni Anne. Napa-buntong hininga nalang ako, kaya naman napa-tingin silang lahat sa akin. Ngumiti lang ako ng alangan sa kanila. Hindi ko alam pero parang ang hirap naman ng situation ng magiging asawa nung Drico, hate daw ang publicity. Sana all nalang. Drico's P.O.V "Kuya, why did you do that?" Dianne asked. I look at her innocently. "Do what?" I asked. She just rolled her eyes. "Kuya, sinabi mong, you have a girlfriend, which is Shannah's mother!!" she said irritably. I just shrug my shoulder. "As if, meron kang maiha-harap na girlfriend. Eh, diba, tinakasan ka?" she said. And disgust was written in her face. "Shut up, sissy. I know what I'm doing." I said with a serious tone. She stare at me blankly, "Do what you want. But always remember that Shannah is your priority now." she said. Before she left. And with that, I realize that I should find a Girl who can pretend as my wife in public and be a good mother to my child. I was sitting at my swivel chair. Thinking to those girls that interested in me to be my fake wife. But theres something bothered me. "If you think to married the girl whose interested onto you, which is your dirty flings. I tell you, 'couz, parang kumuha ka na rin ng batong ipupuk-pok diyan sa ulo mo." said Crezzy. Deep breath come out in my mouth. "Crezzy, I don't know what kind of problem it is?" I said. "Wanna here any suggestion?" she asked. I didn't respond, mean I'm interested. "You should find a girl who doesn't like you and willing to accept your salary and pretend as your fake wife and also willing to be a good mother to Shannah." she said. I don't know what kind of suggestion she have. But it sounds safer. I was about to ask her but she Cut me off. "Don't ask any help from me, 'coz. I'm on my tour tomorrow and next day was your presscon again." with her finger tips in her chin. "Tss." the only word that slip out into my mouth. "Don't worry, 'Coz. You find your fake wife to prepared her in presscon." and she give me a goodbye kiss. Ahhh, she just want to annoy me. I slip out my phone from pocket and dialed Mr. Cruz, my secretary to check if there's a girl that really hate me but has a financial problem. Everything that I can use as my weapon to make her agree to my proposal.
