For Luna Alondra Dawson, marriage is a word so simple but holds so much weight. Some people are scared of it, some don't care much about it, for some it's just a paper, while there are those that just use it as a form of agreement, and there are tho...

CHAPTER 21: RAIN CHECK
LUNA'S POV
A few years ago...
"The biceps... I wonder kung anong trabaho niya?"
"Kahit wala siyang trabaho willing akong buhayin siya."
"Baka army? Pero bakit siya imbitado rito kung sakali? The people that have been invited are either dripping rich, famous, or connected to someone famous."
"Maybe he helped someone famous as a soldier, that's why he's here."
Napapailing na napangiti ako sa naririnig ko na pinag-uusapan ng apat na babae. Women are really different animals from men. Most men would just look at a woman and think that she looked beautiful or hot. Pero ang mga babae ay kung saan-saan na nakararating ang mga utak.
Tumigil ako sa tabi nila at nakatingin din sa direksyon na tinitignan nila na nagsalita ako. "Nah. He's the owner of a publishing house."
Tumango-tango sila at hindi man lang lumingon sa akin. They're all still looking in the direction of a man, as if they're all predators waiting for a moment to strike so they can get a part of him.
"May girlfriend na kaya?" tanong ng isa. "Baka 'yang kausap niya."
"Parang hindi. Nilapitan lang din siya niyan. Hindi naman ata sila magkakilala" Pinagkrus niya ang mga braso niya. "Dapat kung may girlfriend na siya dapat hindi siya basta iniiwan. Sa gwapo niya ang dali niyang maaagaw."
Umangat ang sulok ng mga labi ko. "Kawawa naman ang susubok."
Naalis ang atensyon nila sa lalaki at napalingon sila sa akin nang basta na lang akong dumaan sa gitna nila. My feet carried me in the direction of the man they'd been admiring. The man that I have no plans to share with anyone. Not even to the woman he's talking to.
"We really should stop meeting this way."
Parehas na napabaling sa akin si Magnus at ang babae na kausap niya. Magnus' eyes flashed in surprise when he caught sight of me.
I let my inner self do a victory dance when I saw how his gaze dropped to the beige crocheted coverup I'm wearing on top of my white two-piece bikini and how I saw his struggle to look up and meet my eyes again.
The event today is a beach party. Just like what the other women said earlier, everyone that has been invited is either filthy rich, famous, connected to someone famous, or all of the above. Lucienne has been invited, but as expected, she didn't want to come. Which is why I'm here. I might fall into a couple of categories that this party requires, but not all people are comfortable with journalists. Kahit na ba ang tagal na ng panahon nang huling maramdaman ko na doon umiikot ang job description ko. Halos hindi na nga ako nakakapagsulat ngayon.
