Chapter 8: Mission

"ASMODEUS BARBANEAGRA, ONE OF THE HOTTEST BACHELORS IN TOWN FINALLY ANNOUNCED HIS ENGAGEMENT TO ENMA BOUGAIMOUX WHO IS RUMOURED TO BE HIS LONG-TIME PARTNER.

Asmodeus shared their happy news on his Instagram stories, with the proposal believed to have happened over a romantic breakfast set at Bougaimoux Mansion. Asmodeus shared a picture of him together with Enma's brother, Thanatos Bougaimoux-----"

Napatakip ako sa tenga ko nang biglang mabasag ang TV na kanina lang ay gumagana pa.

"That isn't funny, Dabria!" sigaw ni Señorita Enma pagkatapos batuhin ng vase ang TV nila.

Kakauwi lang nito, ilang araw din itong wala sa mansiyon. Ang huling kita ko pa kaniya non ay noong nakita ko siyang may kasamang lalaki.

Nagkaniya kaniya kami ng iwas nang mabaling ang tingin niya samin.

Yumuko ako at inayos ang pagkaka ayos ng mga bulaklak kahit maayos naman na iyon. Ang iba ay nagsitakbuhan pabalik sa loob ng kusina at ang iba naman ay nagsilaho na lamang.

Para kaming naging ipo ipo dahil sa takot.

But aside from that, what shock me the most is Gael who are whistling while holding a small plate with a cake on it. Para itong nanonood ng drama.

Pero nang makita siya ni Ginang Mara ay hinila siya gamit ang tenga nito pabalik sa kusina.

"It's an arranged marriage." Señora Dabria calmly mentioned, still seated and staring at the broken TV.

"I know and its still has marriage in it!" sarkastikong natawa si Señorito Enma at napahawak sa noo nya. "Myghad, Dabria! 21st Century na! Hindi na uso ang arrange marriage! "

Señora Dabria's expression remained unchanged. "Times may change, but some traditions endure," she replied calmly, her voice carrying a hint of wisdom.

Señorita Enma rolled her eyes, clearly unconvinced. "Yeah, well, some traditions need to be left in the past," aniya, her tone laced with sarcasm.

"And who's to say which traditions are worth preserving?"

"Common sense, Dabria, for starters." mataray na saad ni Señorita Enma. May diin pa bawat salita non.

I saw how Señora Dabria brow got up. Her mataray side also shows up.

"Perhaps common sense isn't as common as you think." saad niya kaya sarkastikong natawa ang kapatid.

"Oh, please. Don't tell me you still believe in all that outdated nonsense." napabuntong hininga ito at nilingon ang Señora. "Alam kong weird ka pero hindi ko inisip na hanggang sa ganitong punto pala. Try watching some romance movie or reading some books and see by yourself how updated this world is!"

"Whatever you say Enma, but I'm not changing my mind. Marriage will introduce a fresh layer of mystery and discovery to your journey." kinuha nito ang magazine na nasa sofa at binuksan ito." Marriage signifies the beauty of a couple standing united, working as a team and I am confident that Asmodeus will be an invaluable asset in your life, aiding and supporting you in ways we can't even fathom."

"I don't want to be his asset, Dabria." madiing sabi ni Señorita Enma. "At kung gustong gusto mo talaga ituloy ang kasal na 'to. Bakit hindi na lamang ikaw ang magpakasal?! Tutal ikaw naman ang mag desisyon nito!"
