'Til Our Love Meet Again. (Forced Marriage Series #1)

Special Chapter

As i entered the house, the woman sitting across my parents caught my attention. She has wavy brown hair, brown eyes, chubby cheeks, and heart shaped lips. She's chubby, but she looks pretty. 

Nag-patuloy ako sa pag-pasok sa bahay, aware ako sa kung anong sadya namin dito, and i am pissed of course.

I cleared my throat before speaking, "Uh, sorry i'm late, i was stuck in traffic," kalmado kong saad. 

Nakita ko kung paano napalingon sa'kin yung babaeng kanina ay pinag-mamasdan ko, she's blushing, crush na 'ata agad ako.

"Nasan po yung ballpen?" nakangiting tanong niya kay mommy, "nakita mo lang ako, pipirma kana agad?" pang-aasar ko, nakita ko kung pano kumunot ang noo niya at nag-salubong ang kanyang kilay, "what was that supposed to mean? i'm only signing for my future," she rolled her eyes on me before signing the contract. 

Inirapan ko siya, but at the back of my head, i'm hella blushing. 

Sa mga lumipas at sumunod na mga araw ay tumira na kami sa iisang bahay, our parents were excited. 

Busy ang mga nanay naming i-check ang ibang kwarto ng bahay, kaya naisip kong i-check ang magiging kwarto namin. 

Hindi pa'ko nakakapasok sa loob ng kwarto ay natanaw ko na agad si Elle, she's checking the room, "what are you doing here?" i said as i came in, well, alam ko naman kung anong ginagawa niya, i just want to hear her voice, "checking the room," she simply answered. 

"Don't expect me to be nice to you, i don't even like you," i said, baka kasi isipin niyang gusto ko na siya agad, ang bilis naman, "same," she replied, ouch! 

I just stared at her, "so you don't like me?" i asked, please don't hurt me, " No, who said i do?" she said, "okay." i answered, and with that, i left. 

Of course, i was hurt. Ilang oras muna akong tumambay sa balcony ng isa pang kwarto, nang bumaba ako, i saw Elle, cooking.

"Hi, Asher, are you hungry?" she asked while smiling, "Yeah, and don't call me Asher, hindi tayo close, i'm eating with my girlfriend, so bye," and with that, i left again.

Nag-tatampo ako sa kanya, she doesn't even like me, yet she cooked for me, pinapaasa niya lang ako. I know i should distance myself from her, and besides, may girlfriend ako.

Days had past, today is our wedding day. 

"How do i look?" tanong ko kila Vincent, Calix, at Luis, "You look like shit," Calix said, na ikinatawa naman ni Vincent, "you look good bro," Luis raised a thumbs up. 

Nasa altar na kami, god my wife looks so beautiful, she's perfect! 

We're done saying our vows, "you may now, kiss the bride," the priest said.

Agad kong idinapo ang labi ko sa labi niya, it's so soft, nag-papalpitate ako, my heart will explode any time, i broke the kiss immediately, i can't handle it.

"Masyado ka namang nag-enjoy, don't expect that it will happen again, I don't like you," bulong ko  sa kanya, i saw how her expression became sad, para bang may kung anong tumusok sa puso ko nang makita siyang nalungkot, i'm sorry, love, i didn't mean it. 

Lumipas ang ilang pang mga linggo at um-okay na kami, we became close, we always hang out, we go on dates, well, hindi ko sinasabi sa kanya na date yun, but for it is. 

She would always cook for me, hilig naming mag-laro sa mga arcade, bihira na lang rin ako pumunta kay Yvonne, i even forget her. 

Everything was going well, not until she told me some bullshit, "You, I can't believe you," i held my forehead and chuckled.

"Hindi porket okay na tayo, ay pwede mo nang siraan si Yvonne sa'kin," i said slowly raising the tone of my voice voice.

"You're pathetic, if you think that i will like you, in your dreams, you're a good novelist huh?" i smiled sarcastically.

"No, i'm telling you the truth, bakit kaba nag-papakatanga dun sa pokpok na yu-" I didn't let her finish her sentence, hindi ko na namalayang nasampal ko pala siya, i hurt her, physically.

She almost fell on the floor, she held her cheeks as her tears streamed down her face.

"I was wrong about my feelings for you," i'm mad at her, sobra, how can she do this, hindi niya naman kailangan siraan si Yvonne, i already like her, i don't like what she did.

"Wow, I guess you didn't even treat me as your friend, even once," she said, her voice were shaking. "Let's not, be close to each other anymore," she declared.

"Gladly." I answered leaving her behind.

"What the fuck, Carlisle?!" galit na usal ni Luis nang malaman ang nang-yari, "hindi mo dapat siya sinaktan, you're such an asshole!" sigaw niya sa'kin.

I know, what i did was wrong, nadala lang rin ako ng galit. 

"What now? you're just gonna sit there and be drunk? you're already drunk, Asher," Calix said. 

Habang palasing ako ng palasing ay nag-faflashback sa utak ko ang sinabi niya.

"Let's not be close to each other anymore." My heart broke into millions of pieces. 

Just imagining us at home, walking past each other like we were strangers, avoiding each other, i can't do that. I have to fix this.

"Uwi na'ko sa asawa ko, please, bring me home, i miss her," i said sobbing, my eye half opened. 

"We'll bring you home, calm down," Vincent said.

Naramdaman ko namang may mga kamay na umalalay sa'kin, "don't t-touch me please, my wife will get sad if you do this, i don't wanna see her cry," i said as i continue crying, "just fucking calm down Carlisle, it's me, Calix, 'di kita gagalawin, putangina mo," he said, getting pissed.

I woke up because of the alarm clock, my head hurts so bad. 

I sat down, and held my head, napansin ko ring wala akong damit, what the fuck?! hindi ko naman siguro ginawa sa iba 'no?! 

Dali dali akong bumangon at lumabas ng kwarto para hanapin ang asawa ko.

I've searched in every corner of this damn house, where's my wife?!

 Until i found an envelope, sobre na nag-lalaman ng aming wakas. It was her wish, for me to sign it. 

I'm sorry, love, looks like i can't grant your wish.
