KABANATA 1

Kabanata 1

"You need to marry someone... " nagulantang ako sa sinabi ng aking mga magulang.

Me? Marrying someone is not my priority for now...

"I can't " sagot ko.

Nakita ko ang pag kunot ng noo ni daddy. Habang si mommy naman ay pinagmamasdan lang ako.

"I can't marry a person I barely know. " Pag dadahilan ko.

I'm just 25. My family's company is famous.

"You know him" sabat ni mommy.

Kumunot ang noo ko ay tumingin sakanya. I saw her smiled at me.

"You will marry Nimbus. " napatingin ako kay daddy dahil sa pagsabi nya nun.

"I know you like him,  it will be a good benefit to you that you will marry the person you like, right? " nakangising sabi ni mommy.

I know they want me to marry Nimbus to merge their company to ours but I don't think you can force someone to marry you if you don't like them.

But honestly I like Nimbus since we were kids.  I remember the first time we saw each other.

"Yours ugly, I don't want to play with you..." sabi ko sa batang babae na anak ng katulong namin.

Merong party sa loob ng bahay namin kaya napag-isipan kong lumabas nalang para hindi ako na bored then I saw Lucy she's one of our maid's daughter.

Honestly I don't like her because she's mom's favorite child. I even thought that Lucy is their child.

"D-deiva, anong ginagawa m-mo dito? " nauutal na tanong nito saakin.

I rolled my eyes at her. Pathetic!

"You know what?  Don't act like your an angel because you're not. " mataray na sabi ko sakanya sabay tulak dito dahilan kung bakit ito napa-upo sa damuhan.

Nakita ko ang pagtulo ng luha nya.

"Ang arte-" hindi ko na naituloy ang sasabihin ko nang may batang lalaki na tumulong kay Lucy said pagtayo. Nakita ko din na pinunasan ng lalaking iyon ang luha ni Lucy.

Eww gross!

Humarap saakin ang lalaki at hindi ko maipaliwanag ang bilis ng kabog ng dibdib ko na parang lalabas ito sa katawan ko.

He looks good-wait he looks handsome, he has a printed nose, pinkish lips, hazel brown eyes. I think he's 6 or 7 years old.

"Why did you push her? " galit na tanong nito saakin.

Hindi ko maipaliwanag nang makaramdam ako ng lungkot nang kinampihan nya si Lucy.

"N-nimbus OK lang ako" sabat naman ni Lucy sa  mahina na boses. Nakatayo na ito at hawak ang braso nung Nimbus.

So this girl know his name,huh?

"It was an accident " pagsisinungaling ko.

He looked at me then back to Lucy. He hold Lucy's hand and walk away.

Sinundan ko sila gamit ang aking mga mata hanggang as nakita ko na umupo sila na swing.

From that moment I know I've fall for Nimbus. Sa murang edad ko noon na 6 years old ay natutunan ko na ang humanga kay Nimbus.

We become friends  when we enter high school. Not to close friends.. may mga iba pa kaming kaibigan. Sina Hetius, Nerues, ang kambal na sina Permian at Permion, at Lyons.

Naging close lang kami nang ipakilala ako ni Lyons sa grupo nila,  hindi ko din alam na kasama pala nila sa group of friends so Nimbus.

Umalis na din noon pa pagiging katulong ang ina ni Lucy kaya wala na akong kaagaw kay Nimbus.

Or so I thought,  sa mga nakalipas na taon ay hindi nawawalan ng babae so Nimbus. Once a month ata ito kung magpalit ng girlfriend while me, secretly crushing on him or maybe loving him.

Dumating ang graduation ng college. Nagtapos ng Medicine si Hetius, si Nereus namin ay Law, si Permian naman Engineering, si Permion na Architecture, si Lyons nang BA, ako naman ay ba din, habang si Nimbus ay Aviation ang tinapos.

I want to be a model but i graduated BA, wala akong passion sa business.

Bumalik ako sa katinuan nang tapikin ako ni mommy na kanina pa pala nakatingin saakin.

"What do you think?  Are you going to marry him? " tanong saakin ni daddy

I love him but I don't want to force him either.

"Bakit ba guatong-gusto nyo na makasal ako kay Nimbus? " tanong ko sakanila.

I'm just 25 and I am living my life.

Nakita ko ang pag pigil ni mommy na kung ano ang sasabihin ni daddy pero hindi dito natinag si daddy.

Huminga ito nang malalim bago magsalita.

"Pabagsak na ang kompanya natin at kung hindi ka maglalakasal Kay Nimbus ay tuluyan na itong babagsak, gusto mo bang mamuhay ka sa hirap? " tanong saakin ni daddy.

I can live a simple life but I don't think I can't find a better job, lalo akong passion sa business.

Napapikit ako at huminga ng malalim bago magsalita.

"Fine, I'll marry Nimbus Phiole Legaspi" sagot ko.

Nakita ko ang pag liwanag ng mukha nilang dalawa bago ako yakapin.

Huminga ako ng malalim. Nimbus will hate me for sure. Sa ilang taon na kilala at kasama ko sya ang alam ko na ang mga gusto at ayaw nya.

At isa doon ang pagpapakasal. He hate marriage no... He loathe it.

I hope our arrange marriage will be different from there books I've read before...
