Levi's POV

I can't stop myself from crying. Di ko maisip na pakakasalan ko ang babaeng di ko naman mahal. I want her to be here. I want her to be the one who's walking towards me on that aisle, wearing a gorgeous gown.

My heart aches for her presence as I anxiously wait at the end of the aisle. I envision her stunning figure wrapped in a breathtaking gown, as she glides towards me. The thought of her not being here beside me on this special day leaves me feeling incomplete. Her absence creates a void that cannot be filled, and all I desire is to have her by my side.

This is insane.

WHY?!

Cali, can you come here and save me? Please.

I don't care if I looked like a crying baby now. I will not wipe my tears for them to see how broken I am.

Addi's POV

Not a typical wedding which every other girls dreamed to have. There are just few who attended. His parents and grandpma. I have not had any visitors or family come to see me. They didn't even know anything about this.

I am wearing this fancy gown with a heavy heart. Despite my mother's wishes for me to find a deserving man, I am unable to fulfill this promise.. Di ko alam kung saan tutungo ang pagiging asawa ko kay Levi. Di nya ako gusto, di nya ako mahal. I understand though. I'm just the one who insisted this marriage. I agreed and there is no turning back.

Now, I will be tying a knot to a guy I don't have a clue who he is, entering into a lifelong commitment with a an expected harsh consequence. I am 18, never in my entire existence have I thought about getting married.. Not yet. Ni hindi ko pa maranasang magka boyfriend dahil wala pa talaga yan sa isipan ko. Di ako bitter, sadyang I am wise not to waste my time sa mga bagay na alam kong di pa oras.

FLASHBACK AUGUST 29, 2023

Life is simple and I am grateful for it. I am very contented to have a simple life with my lolo. Although being raised alone by him may sound unhappy to others but I'm definitely proud to the fact that he is working hard for me. I live with my lolo on our farm and find so much joy in the peacefulness that surrounds us. Together we work hard to maintain the land and take pride in the fruits of our labor. We share a bond that is unbreakable and cherish the moments we spend together. I don't need much to be happy, just the simple things in life. And that's exactly what I have with my grandpa on our farm. Kahit a siguro matapos ako sa kolehiyo ay dito ko parin ilalaan buong buhay ko.

"Manong para po" sabay abot sa bayad sa tricycle driver. I'm excited to show him my grades.

Patakbo akong tumungo sa bahay nang mapansin kong may dalawang kotse na nakapark sa labas. I gently pushed the door to know who's there.

"I'll give you one month to leave this place. Mataas na palugit ang binigay ko sayo and I think it's valid for me to take the payment. I have to go now, you can call me anytime to this number"

The woman is a bit shocked to see me behind her.

"Excuse me" lumabas siya nang bahay at sumunod sa dalawa nyang bodyguards.

Kinabahan ako when I realized lolo is crying and his eyes welling up with tears.

"Lo, ano po nangyayari? Bakit nya po tayo pinapaalis. Diba lupa natin to? Wala namang problema sa school eh, kita mo grades ko oh okay naman. Walang rason para ibenta mo to"

"Hindi ko to binenta. May utang ako sa kanya. Wala akong.... Wala akong maipambabayad." mahinahon nyang sagot

I sat next to him. I also started to cry.

Di ko kayang nakikita siyang nasasaktan. Ito lang kasiyahan nya, ang pagtatanim at pag-aalaga ng mga hayop.

"Nung nagsimulang magkasakit mama mo, doon ako nagsimulang umutang sa kanya. Kung tutuusin ay dapat matagal na dapat niyang kinuha tong lupa kaya malaki parin pasasalamat ko sa pagtulong nya sakin" he still managed to smile. "hahanap tayo nang paraan. Ipangako mong ipagpatuloy mo ang pag-aaral".

I cry harder. Hindi ko hahayaang mangyari yun. Dapat may gawin ako.

Kinuha ko ang calling card na iniwan ng babae.

End of Flashback

Walking down this aisle, I feel a sense of embarrassment washing over me. The soft sound of my footsteps echoes through the silent hall as I try to hide my face from the audience. I wish I could disappear into thin air and run away from this uncomfortable situation. But I know I must face it with bravery and dignity. Panindigan mo ang nasimulan mo, Addi. Total andito ka na naman.

As I faced him, I felt bad because his face is covered with tears and he's hysterical. His gaze falters, unable to meet my own. He averts his eyes, avoiding any direct contact. His body language speaks volumes, conveying a sense of discomfort and unease. It's as if he's hiding something, afraid to confront me. The silence between us is palpable, filled with unspoken words and unresolved tension. I wonder what he's thinking.

Tama ba tong ginagawa ko?

Sorry, but I have to do this or else, mawawala ang lupa. I am desperate and determined. Saan ba ako kukuha ng tatlong million? Ni allowance ko nga araw araw 100. Kahit pagsabayin ko ang limang trabaho sa isang araw ay di ko kayang ipunin ang ganoong kalaking halaga lalo na at pay palugit na binigay si Tita Ana. Kaya Wala, walang ibang paraan kundi ito lang.

Nilingon ko si tita Ana. She just nodded to me like she's saying this must go on. My brows met in sadness hearing him sob next to me.

"I'm sorry" I whispered.
