Marry

"Guess what Cad! You will not believe this!" excited na salubong ko kay Cadu pagdating ko palang sa apartment. Nakaupo ito sa sofa sa sala, nakapatong ang dalawang siko sa tuhod nito, pero agad ding nag angat ng tingin pag dating ko.

"Raven ask me to marry him!" masayang balita ko kay Cadu na nanatili lang ang tingin sa akin. I can't hide the happiness I'm feeling right now. "Sigurado ako, mapapatawad na ako ni Daddy nito!" dagdag ko.

"Raven? That party boy?" napanguso ako sa tinawag nito kay Raven pero ngumiti rin ako kalaunan. I nod happily at him.

"Yep! Raven Chinco, our store manager, my ultimate crush," patuloy ko. Sobrang saya ko pero itong si Cadu nakakunot lang ang nuo habang nakatingin sa akin. "Hey! Aren't you happy for me?" nakangusong tanong ko rito.

"Diba... IT expert ang gusto ng daddy mong.... pakasalan mo?" mas lumapad ang ngiti ko dahil sa tanong ni Cadu. Of course, that is one of my dad's requirements for my future husband. An IT expert.

"Uhuh!" malaki ang ngisi kong tumango rito. "And..... for you to know, Raven is an IT expert too," this time, hindi ko na napigilang wag kiligin.

This is what I've been dreaming for. Ang mapansin ni Raven, but now, di lang ako napansin nito! Papakasalan pa ako nito!

Kanina, nang binigyan ako ni Raven ng tanghalian ay niyaya ako nitong sabay na kaming kumain. And who am I to say no to my ultimate crush since then, right?

"I really like you, Kerah. Dati pa. And seeing you with other man this past few months hurts me. I got jealous when I saw you with Mr. Cavalcante.....Because I can see that somehow, you keep on rejecting me when I want you to come with me.... To be with me. Because he's always there. Waiting for you."

Nakatitig lang ako sa kamay ni Raven na nakapatong sa kamay kong nasa ibabaw ng mesa. Hearing those words from Raven made my heart jump in so much happiness. Sa tagal ko ng crush si Raven, hindi ko kailanman naisip na magkakagusto ito sa akin. Lalo na ang magselos dahil may iba akong kasa-kasama. How could he right? Raven is a good looking man. Nice. Rich. At maraming nagkakagusto rito. Di ko aakalaing may gusto rin ito sa akin, not even in my wildest dreams.

"Ano ang dapat kong gawin, Cad?" ilang saglit ay tanong ko kay Cadu.

Di naman ibig sabihin na gusto ko si Raven at niyaya niya akong magpakasal ay agad rin akong papayag. I still need to ask Cadu's opinion about this. Feeling ko kasi, kailangan ko ang sasabihin niya. Kailangan ko ang kompermasyon niya.

He clenched his jaw. I was gulping hardly when Cadu's intimidating eyes bore onto mine. Dangerous. Possessive. Territorial.

"Then.... marry him."

Hating gabi na pero di pa ako dinadalaw ng antok. I should be happy because of what Cadu said, pero bakit kabaliktaran noon ang nararamdaman ko ngayon.

After Cadu told me to marry Raven, nagpaalam rin agad itong uuwi na. Inaya ko pa itong maghapunan pero tumanggi na ito. I don't know why I felt so exhausted and drained. Kaninang umaga lang, ang saya ko.

"Hay! Kailangan ba ganito ang maramdaman ko? I should be happy. I will marry the man I admire the most. And with that, my dad will forgive me.....hindi na magagalit si daddy sa akin. And he will be proud of me, for marrying the man he wants me to marry."

Yan nalang ang itinatak ko sa isipan bago ko pinilit ang sariling matulog.
