Never in Kelsey Alena Sanchez's dream did she ever imagine herself being forced into an arranged marriage. Who would've thought that Benjamin Antonio Donovan―a man she has a cat and dog relationship with―will now be her soon-to-be husband?
And beca...

Decision
This is not how I imagined my wedding would be.
Ever since I was young, I've always imagined my future husband smiling down at me while I was walking down the aisle. Pero iba ngayon.
The one that I'm marrying today has a sullen expression on his face while he was watching me walk down the aisle-like he wasn't happy about this wedding at all. He looks forced and he's not even trying to hide it in front of our guests.
I don't know what hurts more.
Ngumiti sa akin ang mga magulang niya nang makita kaming papalapit na. I forced myself to smile back. Hindi ko alam kung paano ako napunta sa sitwasyon na ito ngayon.
Do I really want to do this? Or am I only doing this for my parents?
Am I going to be happy in this marriage? Or in the end... we'll both just quit?
Are we going to learn how to love each other? Or are we going to hate each other even more until we decide to end this all?
I don't know.
Nawala ang lahat ng iniisip ko nang mahigpit na hinawakan ni Mommy ang kamay ko. Napabaling ang tingin ko sakanya. There's a tear that's threatening to come out of her eye but she only chose to control it.
She knows how forced this wedding is. She probably knows what I'm feeling right now. Yet, she's one of those people who keeps on pushing us together.
"You're going to be alright, sweetie." She whispered.
I tried to smile at her despite how confused I was today.
"I hope so." I whispered at her back.
Ngumiti siya sa akin at tsaka pinabaling ako kay Daddy. He was already smiling genuinely at me. He and Benjamin's father are the ones who keeps on pushing for this wedding to happen.
And now that it's already happening, they're just the happiest. They've been wanting to merge our companies for so long. Hindi lang sila makahanap ng rason noon para mas tumibay pa ang samahan nila.
Kaya ito, ito ang naisip nilang pagkasunduan-force their children to marry someone they don't even love.
"I'm so proud of you, Kelsey." He said. Sinubukan kong ngumiti sakanya.
Pagkatapos naman noon ay nagmano ako sa mga magulang ni Benjamin. Ganoon rin naman ang ginawa niya. At nang matapos ay hinarap niya ako. He's looking at me seriously. Sa tingin ko, sa sobrang pagkaseryoso, mamaya ay mag-alab na siya sa galit.
Saglit niya akong tinitigan bago niya inilahad ang kamay sa akin. Tiningnan ko ito.
Do I really want to accept his hand? Do I really want to spend the rest of my life with him? Am I really going to do this?
