The Unwanted Marriage

TUM - 16

Kanina pa nag lalakad si bea sa likuran nila Joshua at Aya. She rolled her eyes on them while looking at their back. Bea suddenly felt that something vibrating on her pocket.

She saw her secretary is calling her. Tumingin muna siya sa likod ni Joshua bago nag lakad papalayo sa kanila.

"Hello,"

"Good afternoon ma'am bea, may kailangan po kayong attendan ng meeting ngayong araw. I told them that you're sick, but your dad says kailangan mo parin pumunta.."

Bea released a sigh, lumingon siya sa likuran niya pero hindi niya na makita sina Joshua. "Wait a minute.."

"Okay po," Naglakad si bea para hanapin sila. Not so far away, bea saw aya suddenly cling on her husband's biceps.

Her blood suddenly boiled, gusto niyang pagsabihan ang babaeng 'yon pero mas mahalaga ang utos sa kanya ng papa niya. Nasasaktan at naiinis siya sa ginagawa nilang dalawa.

She clenched her hand in her phone at sinagot ni bea ang secretary niya. "Call my driver to pick me up here, I'll send my location okay?"

"Noted po,"

"Good." Walang alinlangan siyang lumayo sa dalawa. Pagkalabas niya ng building ng mall ay bumuhos ang malakas na ulan.

Nababasa na siya ng kaunti dahil sa anggi si hangin at kahit na naka silong pa siya sa gilid. Luckily her driver already arrived. Sinundo siya nito ng payong at agad na inalalayan para pumasok sa sasakyan.

Bea called her stylist para gawan ng paraan ang gagamitin niyang damit para sa meeting. Everything is in rush. She don't like it at all. Siya ang taong gustong kumilos pag lahat ay planado.

She keep breathing heavily while looking at the outside. Napatingin ang driver niya sa kanya ng pag aalala.

"Ma'am bea, I think you need to rest you're pale.."

"No. I need to see my dad kuya."

"Pwede naman po naming sabihin na may sakit k-"

"No. I'm fine. Please don't ask me again I need to think." She caresses her forehead while looking at her phone.

Hindi manlang siya hinahanap ni Joshua..

They arrived at her stylist building at agad siyang nitong inayusan. After that agad na siyang pumunta sa company niya para kitain ang papa niya.

She's wearing her red silk backless dress, wearing her super high stick heels. Kahit na pinag bawalan siya ng doctor niya na mag suot non ay hindi pwedeng mag pakita siya sa tatay niya na maliit siya.

Because he will start to belittling her again. He will start to degrade her again. This is the only thing she can do for herself. Wearing heels so she will not be able to look up to her father.

She hates it when everyone arounds her hating her for no reason, She hates it when everyone is belittling her power because she is a woman.

She walks confidently in front of everyone in the meeting hall. She saw her dad at agad nang umupo sa tabi niya. He coughed and looked at his daughter.

"Why are you so pale?" Her dad asked her. Lumingon si bea sa kanya ng may pilit na ngiti. "Don't worry dad I'm not sick, hindi ko kayo ipapahiya."

"I'm asking about your health, Joshua said you stayed in the hospital for almost half of the week. You should rest after this." Bea glanced at her stern father.

'Did I hear it right?'

'My father is asking about my health?'

She don't know what to feel. Dahil ang huling taon na nag karoon ng pake ng tatay niya sa kanya ay nung buhay pa ang mama niya.
