PROLOGO

XEAN

"THIS coming September 21, 2019 will be your wedding day, No one will stop the union of the two of you! You wont be a cause of scandal in our respective family!" Nanggagalaiting sigaw ng padre de pamilyang si Theon sa harap ng kanyang pamilya.

Nasinang- ayunan agad ng magkabilang panig ng ikakasal maliban sa pagtutol ng dalawang itinakdang magpakasal!

"Dad NO! I wont marry her/him." 

Sabay pa namin tanggi ng magiging asawa ko daw? Halos mapatayo sa kinakaupuan naming sofa. Kapwa bakas ang pagtutol saming mga mukha. Were not ready for this!

Wala to sa 'MUST DO LIST' ko ngayong taon. Hindi nasagi sa magulong kung kokote ang magpakasal at lalo lalo na sa lalaki pang ito. My father must be crazy, isang gabing pagkakamali lang yon!

Bakit kailangang mauwi sa kasalan? Siniko ko nga ng malakas ang damuhong to para itigil nya ang pagpapakasal namin! Iisipin ko palang na kasal kami ng lalaking to nasusuka na ako — na mukhang na gets nya naman. He begs for his dad attention.

"Dad baka pwedeng wala ng kasalang mangyari. We are both adults now, kaya na naming magdesisyon para sa isat isa and we decided to cancel off this wedding cause this wont work if you insist marriage." He explained while I was nodding myself too, I dont wanna marry him.

I helplessly turn my eyes back to my mom and dad. "Look dad, mom. Hindi ko gustong magpakasa—,"

He butted in. "At ayoko din. Pareho naming ayaw magpakasal ni Xean So pede po bang itigil na po ang kasalang pagtitipong ito? We are two consenting adults."

Hindi pa nga ako tapos magsalita naningit agad tong bastos na to. Asar akong napatingin sa lalaking to. My father glares angrily at him and point a finger to this bastard. What the mas lalo yatang nagalit si ama sa kanya. Kulang nalang suntukin siya ngayon eh kung di lang pinipigilan ni mom si Dad. Dinuro ng ama ko ang lalaking to.

"At ano? Gagawin mo kaming kakatawa tawa? Yang ba ang gusto mong mangyari? Kausapin mo nga tong anak mo Ysraelle. Nagagalit ako sa kanya kasi sa ginawa nya sa anak ko. May anak kang babae kaya alam mo ang sitwasyon ko! Hindi ako makakapayag na takbuhan nya ang anak ko!" Galit na galit na sigaw ng papa ko kay Tito Ysraelle.

Even tito is in verge of rage as he's now giving his son a deathly glare. God ano ba tong gulong napasukan ko I hear Tito Ysraelle calm voice but I knew better theres an underlying threat on his voice.

He took a very deep breath and looked at us with his stressing me out expression.

"You know every action has a corresponding consequences right son? You did it and have a balls to do the right thing. Dont make me feel dissapointed on you kid be responsible enough to make a choice in every action that you take. You already put our name in shame dont contineously ruin it son."

My gosh! Here they are with thier fuckin social stat. Hindi ko na pigil ang bunganga kong sumagot.

"Pero tito....alam ko pong nagkamali kami kaya nga po pinagsisihan na namin. Pero sana po wag nyo na kaming ipakasal. It wont solve anything! It will just accumulate suffering. We will end up a broken marriage" I pleaded back.

"SO TRY HARD NOT TO MAKE IT HAPPEN!" Pasigaw na tutol ng papa ko sakin.

"I.... I don't know what to do with you anymore child. It was just you've grown up, but it seems like I didn't raise you well."

Ouchy. It felt like i was stab, it stings.

He points a finger on me and with his angry state he continues. "You will give this family a disgrace and were just trying to fix all these mess and heres the two of you defying and telling us that what we planned are all bullshits. As if we are the bad guys here. Wether you like it or not. Matutuloy ang kasalang to!"

And with that final words he walks out. Leaving us all astound— bago pa man ako makatutol ulit hinabol na ni mommy si dad, na agad namang sinundan ni tito after nya kaming bigyan ng nanunumbat na tingin.

"Theon wait! Lets talk about thi—" 

Right and they left us. Great, just great. Nasapo ko nalang ang ulo ko sa stress na inabot ko ngayong araw.

"Fuck!" Hindi ko mapigilang mapamura. Ano na ang kailangan kong gawin para hindi na matuloy ang kasalang ito? Arrrrghhh— kaasar!

"Kasalanan mo to eh! Bwesit ka! bwesit ka! Tangina mo ng times 2! Kung wala sanang nangyari sa atin hindi tayo mabubuking." hindi ko mapigilang hindi paghahampasin ang lalaking sisira sa kinabukasan ko.

He shielded himself from my attack. "Ara- ano ba! T-tigila-aray!! Stop! Shit! Masaki- Hey!"

Hanggang sa mahawakan nya ang dalawa kong kamay na nangalngalmot at nanampal sa kanya! He looks so annoyed too. Well parehas lang kami! "Stop it lady!"

I just rolled my eyes. " FINE— Ano nang gagawin ko ngayon? Ayokong magpakasal sayo!" I frankly told him, I crossed my arms in my chest.

"Ayoko rin naman sayo ah!" He matter of factly said. I know...he knows..we both know that we dont want this marriage!

Hella—! It will be a pure hell if the two of us will be staying at one roof. One bed and sharing one surname!

Fuck this life I'm in! Bat ba naman kasi sabay pa kaming nalasing ng gabing yon at sa pagkamalas malas pa ng pagkakataon pinagtagpo pa kami at hayon nagpadala sa bugso ng kapusukan.

Ahhhhhh! Peste....pestiii talaga! Oo....may nangyari saming hindi ko maipaliwanag. Pareho kaming wala sa huwisyo at wala akong maalala sa lahat ng posibleng nangyari sa makasalanang gabing nayon. All I can remember is that when i woke up feeling so sore and my head was like killing me in pain at saktong naman pagbukas ko ng mga mata ko tumambad sakin ang galit na galit na mukha ng tatay ko.

"HI DAD." Nakangiti ko pang bati sa Daddy that time.

At doon lang nagumpisang maguluhan nong merong kamay na yumakap sa bewang ko at alam ko at ramdam kong wala syang kahit anong suot dahil alam kung ganon din ako. Hugging my naked body, closer to him, burying his face on my neck, nipping and kissing may bared skin. At oo— yes ulit!

Nanlalaki ako sa bahay mismo ng tatay ko at nahuli niya kami sa akto at ang masaklap pa ang lalaking katabi ko ay walang iba kundi ang anak ng bestfriend nya na mas lalong nagpa apoy ng galit nya. Doon pala kasi kami nakabalandra sa sofa ng bahay namin, all naked. Tapos hindi namin napansin ang pagdating ng mga kamag anak ko, even his parents was gaping at us shocked. Nakalimutan kong anniversary pala nila Mom at naghahanda sila sa event para mamaya.

"Punyeta ka— Graexon! Anong ginagawa ng tarantado ka sa anak ko!" Halos lahat nagimbal sa boses ni Dad, he shouted on top of his lungs.

Even him stirred to life, smiling at the crowd when he saw them dor sure bangenge pa ang utak neto.  "Hello ther—."

He didn't even finished his word because Dad punched his face, hard. Everything's got messy and pretty much chaotic after that punched and that's an excerpt of how we end up in a shotgun wedding set up and a not so called fairytale kind of marriage!

"Oh ano na? May magagawa pa ba tayo para pigilan ang letcheng kasalang to?"

I asked him and he only answer me with his 'I dont know what to do look' yeaahhh right. Hinampas ko sya ulit, kaasar.

"Mag isip ka tangena to! Bilisan mo kundi sabay tayong matatali sa walang kwentang kasalang to!" I shouted angrily at him.

He annoyingly stares back at me. "Wala ka ngang maisip na sulosyon ako pa kaya? Saka pwede ba? Wag kang sigaw ng sigaw naririndi na ako sayo! Pag napika na talaga ako sayo ako talaga ang mangungumbinsi kila tito na pakasalan mo ako— na di ka naman lugi sakin."

Then he added. "I'm beyond perfect ako pa nga ang mukhang lugi sating dalawa!"

And with his speech he left me speechless and unmoving. What the fuck did he just said? Lugi sya sakin? Huh! Tanginang kahanginan to, ang lakas!

"Punyeta ka!" I shouted at him, surely annoyed.

"Lab you too!" He shouted back, chuckling. Napipilan naman ako dahil doon.

Okay— Haanudaw?!!!! I darted my surprise glare on his back.
