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?

Surprise
"Ugh! I'm bored! Let's go out!" Jeya said then she groaned.
I rolled my eyes at her and chuckled.
"Let's go to the Van Gogh Museum!" aya ko. Ngumiti ako sa kanya at nagbabakasakaling gumana ito at bumigay siya sa gusto kong mangyari.
"Seriously?! Haven't you been there for like three times already? Hindi ka pa ba nagsasawa?"
Umiling ako kaya siya naman ang napairap ngayon. Napakamot siya sa kanyang leeg sa sobrang frustration.
Jeya arrived here in Amsterdam yesterday to visit me. While I've been here for two years now.
Sa loob ng dalawang taon na iyon ay hindi ako umuwi sa Pilipinas. Marami na nga rin ang nagtatanong kung kailan ako babalik pero hindi ko rin naman masagot dahil hindi ko alam kung kailan.
I know two years is such a long time to get away from everything. But I'll be honest when I say that it really did help me.
"Come on! Suggest something else!"
"Bakit? It's really amazing to be inside the Van Gogh museum!"
"I know but... pwede next time nalang 'yun? Sa iba na muna ngayon!"
"E, saan mo gustong pumunta?"
I gave her a questioning look. What she did in return is she smirked at me na para bang may tinatago ako sakanya. Tinaasan ko siya ng kilay.
"What?" I asked.
"Wala ka bang ipapakilala sa akin?" tanong niya. Tumawa ako.
Oh, here comes the issue girl again! Lahat nalang talaga issue sakanya!
"Wala! Bakit? Meron ba dapat?"
Niliitan niya ako ng mata. Sa paraan ng pagtingin niya sa akin, akala mo may ginawa na akong kasalanan na hindi ko magawa-gawang sabihin.
"Hmm... I don't know. Haven't you met someone?"
Natawa ako nang dahil doon. "Did you seriously went here to ask me that?"
"Well... I'm just curious!"
I scratch my head. Hay nako! Si Jeya talaga kahit kailan!
"Wala, Jeya. Okay?"
"Bakit naman? You're single! You're free to meet someone! At tsaka... two years ka na dito. Imposible namang wala."
"Jeya, I have no friends here. Kung meron man, itong kapit bahay. And she's a senior citizen!"
Ngumiwi siya at umirap sa akin.
"Hmm. Okay, fine. Baka kasi... hindi ka pa nakakamove on kaya..."
