Ge-An POV

I was sitting by the window near my bed, hearing her voice. The voice that sounds like music to my ears, the best sounds that I have ever heard that can make my heart melt. Ooh hearing Maria's voice makes my heart jumps I missed her so much even though it's been only a day that we didn't talk because of Gaston's arrival, that fiancé of her. Arggh Gaston! That name makes my blood boil.

"Relax" I tell to myself I take a deep breath and sigh deeply. Why do you care if it's her fiancé, I shouldn't

"Hey Ge are you okay?" that worried voice snap me back to the reality

"Ah yeah yeah, I'm fine. It's just, uhm.. Ah anyway what are you saying again a while ago" I asked cause I didn't notice what she's been telling me few seconds ago due to my floating mind.

"Ahm well as I was saying they will be come next week for the pamamanhikan" she said. this sentence that I heard from her makes my knees shake and weak.

(I already explain the meaning of the word Pamamanhikan in chapter 3 i hope you remember)

"You shouldn't agree with it" I answered as I disagree with the idea, "hey!" I shouted to myself you should be saying good stuff for them not disagreeing

"I should Ge-an, it is the right thing to do." She said firmly "I grew up like this, there are certain things that I must follow, a lot of things that I needed to do" it's like she just needed to follow an order instead of doing what she wants

"What if it's not the right thing? What if you don't follow? What if you don't do it? I asked continuously and worriedly, I don't know why but I can't stop to feel worried.

"Then I would be rebellious, I would be an ungrateful daughter to them" I heard her deep sigh "I don't want to hurt my parents" I can feel the sadness in her voice it makes my heart sink

"Why don't you talk to them?" I asked full of sympathy and concern

"I don't know" She answered hopelessly and it makes my heart ache

"May be if you tell them what you really feel, it would make them understand you, it could change their mind" I told her with a soft warm voice

"No, I don't think so Ge-an" she answered me shortly

I pause for a while "Do you want to regret something in the future because of a wrong decision?" I asked and I know it made her think for a while, hearing no response I continue "What if you ran away? Go to someone you know, don't you have any relatives that you can stay with? I know this is not a good idea but that is the only way to escape the problem that could ruin your entire life" I told her calmly the best idea i think and the only one that could help her situation.

Maria's POV

what is happening to me!? Her question made me think more crazy

"What if it's not the right thing?" no it is

"Do you want to regret?" it is for my family

"wrong decision" no it's not

"what if you ran away" thats insane

"Could ruin your entire life" how can it be?

I have to answer questions repeatedly to convinced myself. I was so lost because Ge-an's words hit me in the face very hard but no, It should be the right thing to do. This is for my family, I cannot let them down.
