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?

I felt nothing but so much happiness when we get back our hotel. It was really amazing to roam around the Bill Reid museum. Lalo na kung kayong dalawa lang ng taong mahal mo ang nasa loob.
I couldn't remove the smile off of my face even though we are already settled to sleep tonight. I am just so thankful for everything he's done for me. I couldn't put my feelings into words. Saying thank you isn't even enough.
Benjamin is currently at the balcony talking to someone over the phone. I bet it's for business. Despite his busy schedule, he was still able manage to come here with me in Canada.
Tinanaw ko siya habang nasa may balkonahe siya. His left hand is inside his pocket while he's using the other to hold his phone. I smiled to myself as I watch him.
They say we can't always have what we want. Akala ko noong una ganoon nga. Akala ko, mahihirapan akong abutin si Benjamin. I thought I was fine with settling by what we have before.
He was someone that I can't lose before and he's also someone that I can't win.
Pero ngayon, tila ba nag-iba ang ihip ng hangin. I thought I couldn't win him. I thought... I'll forever be someone he just married because of business. But now the tables have turned, he's mine. Forever.
He's not just someone that I can't lose now... but he's also someone that I managed to win.
Sometimes I ask myself... why him? Bakit siya pa sa dinami-rami ng tao sa mundo? Hindi ba pwedeng iba nalang?
But then I thought of the reason why I chose him out of all the people in this world: he challenged me. He's the only person who I can hate and love at the same time. He made me question things. He made me so conscious about myself that when we get to see each other again, I wanted to look better.
He irritates me at times, but he's also the person who can make me laugh like crazy. Benjamin is a mystery that I'm still trying to solve.
Umalis ako mula sa pagkakaupo sa kama upang magtungo sa balkonahe kasama siya. Hindi niya naramdaman ang pagpasok ko kaya naman ay kinuha ko iyong oportunidad upang yakapin siya patalikod. Naramdaman kong nagulat siya sa bigla kong ginawa.
"Yes, I'll be back in a few days. Pupunta ako dyan sa site kapag nagkaoras." Aniya sa kausap sa kabilang linya.
Hinawakan niya ang mga braso kong nakapalupot sa kanyang baywang. I rest my chin on his shoulder while I look over the moon and the city lights.
"I have to hang up now. I just have some important things to do."
Narinig kong nagpaalam na ang kausap niya. He immediately inserted his phone inside his pocket when he finished.
