I knew I made a mistake by turning Emilio's proposal down. I was certain about my decision. I felt uneasy because I had no idea what awaited me in the future.
I couldn't stop thinking about what he said the last time I ran into him. "No Saintilia I found you." He seemed sincere when he said it. But I couldn't shake the feeling that there was something he was hiding. And I also wondered if he knew who raped me.
For reasons unknown to me, Tina invited Emilio to have dinner with us more frequently in pretense of further discussion about the marriage proposal. I was not buying it but It was none of my concern. I had a feeling she was using the opportunity to see Emilio but I also knew she couldn't force me into this marriage no matter what.
