Bound To Love You

Chapter 4

"Dad,I won't get married sa taong hindi ko kilala!"

Pasigaw na wika ni Breanna sa kanyang ama. Naikuyom niya ang kanyang mga kamao at halos yata lahat nang dugo niya ay umakyat na sa kanyang ulo. Her father just told her that she's going to get married. Sa anak ng matalik na kaibigan nito. Cade Aidan Villamonte ang pangalan ng nakatakda niyang pakasalan.

"Iha,Cade is a good man. I won't be approving of this if alam kong mapapasama ka." ani ng kanyang ama na bakas sa mukha nito ang pagsusumamo.

No! Protesta niya sa sarili. She won't get married. She still wants to do a lot of things.For christ sake,getting married is not in her mind just yet. And besides she's dating Clifford Aracilla. The man of her dreams! She won't let anything or anybody ruin her life and worst, decide for her especially in this matter. At kung meron man siyang gustong pakasalan iyon ay ang kanyang nobyo.

She loves her father.There's no doubt about that. Mula noong maulila siya sa inang hindi man lang niya nasilayan ay itinaguyod na siya ng ama. She's his father's princess.He spoilt her so much. Kahit ano pa ang hilingin niya ay ibinibigay nito sa kanya. He showered him with love at ipinagpapasalamat naman niya iyon. Sinusunod niya lahat ng gusto ng kanyang ama. She finished her degree in Business Administration at ngayon ay kasalukuyang Manager na siya sa kanilang business firm. She knew her father was a proud man for what she has achieved at the age of 26. She could do anything for him but not this arrange marriage made unknown to her.

"Dad,please. You know that I am dating Clifford. You met him already. I love him." she tried to sound convincing as possible. She doesn't really want na matali siya sa isang marriage sa taong ayaw niya.

She have known Cade as her father's friend son. For once,ngayon pa lang ay may instinct na siyang he's a player. She remembered reading an article from a magazine which featured the Villamonte's at isa sa mga nandoon ang interview at maliit na portion laman ang information about the Villamonte's only heir.She knew he's a player. He's a womanizer coz if not bakit hanggang ngayon ay isa ito sa mga usap-usapan at laging naririnig niyang bukambibig ng mga socialites sa businees world dahil kahit ang kaibigan niyang si Sunny na nagtatrabaho sa isang famous na magazine sa bansa ay walang makuhang scoop tungkol sa lovelife nito. If she's going to marry him for sure magiging laughing stock lang siya sa lipunan dahil hindi kaya ni Cade na magseryoso sa isang relationship. And it's marriage that they are talking about. If they marry and decided to call it quits,matagal pa bago tuluyang makalaya siya rito dahil wala namang divorce sa Pilipinas. It's just going to be a headache o dili kaya'y nightmare.

Hinawakan ako ni Daddy sa kamay. Alam kong I am acting childish and immature right now pero hindi ko talaga kayang pagbigyan ang hinihiling niya.

"Iha,you know that I am old already." sabi nito. Here he goes again,sa tuwing sinasabi niya yan ay naaapektuhan ako. I don't want to think anything bad this early pero I know that my father is at his age. Medyo naging mahina na din ang pangangatawan nito mula noong biglang tumaas ang presyon ng dugo niya dahil sa depression. Iniisip ko pa lang na baka may masamang mangyari sa Daddy ko ay parang kinukuyumos na sa sakit ang puso ko. "I want you to be in good hands pagdating ng araw na wala na ako..."

"Dad! Don't say that.."maagap kong sabi sa kanya. Ayokong pag-usapan namin ang mga ganitong bagay. I don't know how to live without him. Kung meron mang taong takot na takot akong mawala sa buhay ko,iyon ay ang aking ama. I never had the chance with my mother,puro pictures lang niya ang nakita ko simula noong magkamuwang ako. And based on what my father told me about her,I know she's a good woman and I'm proud of her.

" Hindi natin masasabi ang maaaring mangyari bukas anak. I just want to make sure that you're gonna be alright even if I'm not here with you anymore. And I know Cade will take good care of you." ani nito.
