Chapter 2

Primrose

Whenever I think about growing up, there's a mixed feeling of excitement and fear. Yes, there are things I can do which I couldn't when I was a teenager. However, I know that there are also responsibilities that could drain me.

Kagaya na lang ngayon, wala pa akong planong pumasok ulit sa isang relasyon pero para lang sa kompanya ay mukhang kailangan kong sumugal.

"Your artists are suffering, Primrose, and since you don't have a boyfriend and you have no plans of finding one, Mr. Lee suggested that he'll just find you a husband which will only last for a year and a month more or less," Ate Alice said as she combed my hair with a hairbrush.

We're inside my room, preparing for the lunch date with my uncle and someone he said he would like me to meet.

"Paano kapag artist rin ang nahanap niya?" I asked in a low tone, "You know that I don't want to marry a celebrity."

It's been two weeks since uncle Reylan visited. Sa dalawang linggo na iyon ay gulong-gulo ang isip ko, hindi alam kung anong gagawin ko lalo na sa kondisyon na pagpapakasal.

Noong una ay pumayag naman siyang bigyan ako ng oras para pag-isipan ito kaso wala pang isang linggo ay may panibagong mga isyu na namang kinaharap ang E Entertainment. Of course, I can't let my uncle destroy my father's company! He did so much for the sake of the artists under the E Entertainment and no one, not even his own brother should dare to harm and destroy them!

Ate Alice clapped, "You're really pretty! Bagay talaga iyong binili kong baby pink na dress."

I giggled, "You really know what's best for me."

"Will you trust me if I say that I think that it's also the best for you to meet the guy–celebrity or not?"

I rolled my eyes dramatically, "That's why I'm dressed right now, right?"

She shook her head and laughed.

Siguro nga mas mabuti na rin itong mangyayari. I mean, I don't want to marry someone for convenience. Isa pa, kung celebrity nga ito, am I not forcing him or stealing his chance to find his own person that he will love and cherish? Kaso, parang wala naman na rin talaga akong choice.

Sumasakit din ang ulo ko tuwing iniisip kung anong magiging rason ng isang tao para pumayag na pakasalan ako. I don't want to be judgemental but I think the past really left a deep scar in me, knowing that there are people who will do everything for something that's definitely beneficial. Well, I'll also be one of those people since I agreed on marrying someone for my benefit, so it sucks.

Ate Alice patted me on my shoulder when we arrived at the restaurant, "Be good, okay?"

Tumango ako sa kanya. Mabait naman ako pero dahil siguro sa nangyari noon ay parang nagbago rin nang kaunti ang personalidad ko, alam nina ate Alice iyon kaya rin naging maingat sila sa akin noon.

My jaw dropped as soon as I saw the people waiting for me inside the VIP room. Yes, people! There were nine men inside the room including uncle Reylan!

He shook his head while grinning. What the hell?

"Tatayo ka lang ba riyan, Primrose?"

"Huh?"

Nakita kong natawa ang ibang nasa silid, kaya naman mabilis akong yumuko bilang pagbati sa kanila bago umupo sa gilid ni uncle Reylan at tumabi sa isang lalaki.
