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?

Fix
Abala ako sa pag-aayos ng mga gamit na dadalhin ko sa opisina nang kumatok si Benjamin sa kwarto ko. Agad akong lumingon at tinaasan siya ng kilay.
"Are you free this weekend?" he asked. Sandali akong nag-isip.
May gagawin ako pero hindi naman ganoon karami. Malapit ko na rin naman matapos iyong nakatakda kong gagawin kaya medyo maluwag-luwag ang schedule ko ngayon.
Sasagot na sana ako nang unahan niya ako.
"Of course you'll say you're not. But I'll tell everyone you're not around this weekend."
Ngumuso ako. "Wala pa naman akong sinasabi."
"Bakit? Kung may sasabihin ka ba, sasabihin mong free ka?" ngumisi siya, para bang nag-aasar.
Akala naman ng isang 'to alam lagi ang isasagot ko!
"Yeah." I said. Kumunot ang noo niya. "Wala naman kasi akong masyadong gagawin."
Nag-iwas siya ng tingin at tsaka tumango. He grabbed his phone at tsaka may tinipa doon. Mukhang may itetext.
"Ano bang meron?" tanong ko.
"We're joining Brittany and Kiel in Anilao."
Tinaasan ko siya ng kilay. Bakit kami sasama? E, honeymoon ng dalawa 'yon!
"But isn't their honeymoon?" medyo hindi ko makapaniwalang tinanong.
Nag-angat siya ng tingin at tamad akong tiningnan. "So?"
"So?! If we're joining them, it's like we're invading their privacy!"
"Well... it's not like we're going to sleep with them on the same room." He said like he was already stating the obvious.
Umirap ako. "What I meant is... it's their honeymoon! It's their moment together. Ang awkward kung sasama pa tayo sakanila?"
"I don't think they have a problem with that since they're the one's who invited us."
Bumuka ang bibig ko. At ano namang pumasok sa isip ng dalawang 'yon para mang-imbita ng kasama sa honeymoon nila? Are they out of their minds?
"They did?!"
Benjamin nods his head. Napakamot ako ng noo. Kung tatanggi ako, baka isipin ng dalawang 'yon na ang KJ ko. O di kaya magtampo iyong si Brittany sa akin dahil hindi ako sumama. Ayoko namang mangyari 'yon.
"Kung ayaw mong sumama, edi ako nalang." Sabi niya na parang naiinis pa.
Baliw ba siya? Papayag siyang maging thirdwheel? Is he trying to torture himself?!
"Hala! Wala pa naman akong sinasabi ah?" I said defensively.
