The Way We Fall Inlove

Chapter 4: MISIS KO

Athena's pov:

What's going on?!

I blush as he kiss my hand, I can see a smirk on his lips as he look at me.

"Shall we?" Mister Perez said and smile at us. He seems to be a happy.. not like.. someone i know..

"I call you here because I want to discuss about something." He said as he sit down.

"Luca, I already discuss this to you last night.. remember?" He said as he look at his son who's sitting in his right side.

"Last night...?" I can see that his eyes widen as if he remember something from last night.
"The arranged marriage!" He shout.

My whole word meets it's end as I hear that. He's the son of the CEO of the law firm dad works?! I stand up and look at Clyden and Mister Perez. "E-excuse me?! What?! So your the one who's going to be..."

"Miss Ortiz, seem to be so shock about it. Yes Miss Ortiz, my son is going to be your husband in a few months." He smile and look at me like it's totally fine.

I sit down on the chair and exhale "Why me?! There's so many girls in this world who's much better than me! Many girls with beauty, brains and other things I don't have! So why me?!"

I didn't realize that my tears are already falling..and I start to sob uncontrollably..

"..." I heard myself sniffing, silent cover the whole room as I sob while my head are down.

Mister Perez suddenly hug me. My eyes widen as he hug me tight. But..I didn't hesitate to hug him back. It feels like a new thing for me, my dad never even hug me once. I don't usually show any of my emotions. As long na kaya ko pang itago yun nararamdaman ko..tinatago sya.. I won't dare to show my weakness to anyone but my mirror and self.

"How are you feeling now Miss Ortiz?" Mister Perez ask me with a kind and gentle eyes.

I let out a small smile and answer him "better. Thank you for hugging me. Mister Perez.. it's a big help.."

"No problem, Your going to be my daughter-in-law in a few months anyways so it's fine." He said. "So, what is your answer Miss Ortiz?" He ask me as he sit down on the chair.

"Um..pwede po bang pagisipan ko muna?" I look at him and nervousness start to hit me. "I'm still not ready, Let alone marry someone I just meet."

Mister Perez let out a little chuckle as he look at me. "Sure, son you should count her first." He turn and look this son.

"Sure, it's not a problem." He smile and wink at me.

After my dad and Mister Perez settle everything about our engagement and other things, nag paalam na kami na uuwi na. Mister Perez give me another hug before he go inside his car.

Time skip

Kinaumagahan ay sabado wala naman akong masdaong assignment kaya i decided to do the laundry dahil puno naman ito. Parang kalalaba ko ng isang linggo puna naman?! I ready the things i needed para makapag laba i also put on some music while i do my work.

To kiss in cars and downtown bars
Was all we needed~🎶

I sing as the whole living room was cover by my voice as i sing my heart out. Suddenly someone knock on the door. I wonder who is it.

"Ye-" i was super surprised when i see Clyden's face on my front door.

"Good morning, my wife." He said and smile at me.

Walang maganda sa umaga ko kung ikaw ang unang tao ang makikita ko!

"Bakit ka nandito?" I ask him and cross my arms.
