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?

Marahas akong nilingon ni Daddy nang tuluyan kaming makalabas ng mansion ng mga Donovan. He looks at me angrily.
"What do you think you're doing, Kelsey? Why would you create such scene?" galit niyang tinanong sa akin.
"I'm not the one who started it, Dad! He keeps on bugging me. I'm only giving him what he deserves!" I reasoned out.
"You think hitting him is the right thing to do? That was so unlady like! Goodness!"
I laughed insultingly. Why is he mad at me? Ako na nga itong naagrabyado, ako pa itong papagalitan niya. I tried, okay? I tried to let the evening end without fighting with Benjamin. Pero paano ko naman gagawin iyon kung isang napakalaking dakilang epal ng lalaking 'yon!
"Bakit parang kasalanan ko pa?" tinaasan ako ng kilay ni Daddy. "He spilled the dessert on me purposely, Dad. Sa tingin mo ba tamang gawin 'yon? Hindi di ba?"
"Pero dapat hindi ka parin pumatol!"
"He treated me like a crap! I wouldn't let a person like him do that to me!"
"You should've known better-"
"Bernard, that's enough!" pagputol ni Mommy sa sasabihin ni Daddy. Napabaling kaming dalawa sakanya. Her forehead's creased at my dad. Nang nilingon niya naman ako ay medyo nagbago ang kanyang ekspresyon.
"Kelsey, just get in the car... get in the car..." utos niya sa akin. Medyo nag-aalinlangan pa ako noong una kung susundin ko ba iyon o hindi. Pero nang makita ko ang pagmamakaawa sa kanyang mukha ay nagpakawala ako ng malalim na hininga.
"Come on, Kelsey... get in the car." Pagmamakaawa ulit ni Mommy.
I look back at them bago ako tuluyang pumasok sa loob ng sasakyan. I feel like they're only waiting for me to get in the car before they start arguing.
I can't believe that this is happening because of that guy! Ngayon ko lang makikitang mag-away ang magulang ko at dahil ito sa lalaking iyon!
If he only knows how to treat a girl right, wala sanang ganito! We will have such a harmonious evening at hindi sana mag-aaway ang magulang ko ngayon!
I cried in frustration inside the car. Hindi ko na rin tiningnan pa ang mga magulang ko habang nag-sasagutan sila.
We went home that night with an unusual quiet car ride. Hindi naman kami ganito sa tuwing nasa sasakyan kami. Ngayon lang.
I smiled sadly at my mother when she turns to me from the front seat. Tipid siyang ngumiti na para bang pinapahiwatig na ayos lang ang lahat.
Hanggang sa pagpasok ng bahay ay tahimik sila at hindi nag-uusap. I wonder how they'll sleep beside each other after they argued. I'm sure they're still not on good terms.
