[ Destiny POV ]

It's been five months since I was auctioned like some piece of meat in the gathering that my crazy mommy had planned and a lot had changed. Ang mommy ko na inaasahan kong papasukin ako sa kuwarto ko ng gabi na yun na may dalang hinasang butter knife habang natutulog ako ay kataka-takang no reaction sa nangyari. She actually keep her distance to my bewilderment. Maybe the fact that I ruined the whole arranged marriage thing that she wanted so badly, especially with the pansy sleaze, Liam, didn't go well for her that's why she is acting unusual.

Sa ngayon ay naiisip kong darating din ang araw na makaka-get over sya sa kabiguan nyang ito, after all I know that she is a fighter. Pero sa ngayon talaga ay madalas kong makita na depressed at self-absorbed sya. I actually feel guilty somehow. I also think that maybe, she is already suffering with dysphoria with all the symptoms that she is showing. Natatawa na nga lang ako dahil kung makadrama si mommy ay akala mo sya ang pinipilit para sa isang arranged marriage.

Ang nakakainis lang ay pansamantala munang titira sa amin si ate Desiree kasama ang sanggol nya. May business na aasikasuhin daw sa Germany ang asawa nya sa loob ng hindi ko alam na buwan. Jeez, I would have to live with my painstaking ate for the time being together with her sobrang iyakin na baby. At this point, parang mas gugustuhin ko na lang ang arranged marriage keysa sa set up na ito. Kainis kaya talaga na nasa bahay ang ate Desiree ko na saksakan ng arte lalo na ngayong she went back into her original figure. Paano ko pa sya maiinis, di ba? Oh, crap nasa huli talaga ang pagsisisi.

"Destiny! Destiny sweetie!" Screamed my mommy. Gosh, why was she screaming? Nabaliw na ba sya ng tuluyan? Do I have to dial the hotline for National Center for Mental Health now? "Dddeeessstttiiinnnnyy!"

Bumukas bigla ang pinto ng kuwarto ko at iniluwa ang naghihisteryang mommy ko. She bounced into my room full force na akala mo ay may nagaganap ng alien invasion, her face flushed and her eyes wide with excitement. Suddenly I felt nervous. Ayokong makakita ng ganyang uri ng excitement sa kanya dahil delubyo ang hatid nun sa akin. What is it for me this time around, I wonder.

"Take it easy mommy. Ano ba yun?"

"God, Destiny sweetie." She hugged me as if we haven't seen each other for a decade. Kumalas ako sa yakap nya at binigyan sya ng nagdududang tingin.

"Mommy?" Inip na sabi ko para magsalita na sya. Masyadong nagpapaka-suspense.

"I need you to cancel any plans you have sa makalawa, as in all... and no excuses! We're going to a special dinner and there is no way your not attending it!" She finally said, half panting from all the running going to my room.

Gusto ko sanang mag-protesta kahit na wala naman akong plano sa makalawa dahil nga lagi ko naman syang kinokontra. Of course it is expected na aangal ako di ba, just like what I always do, but seeing her looking excited or rather euphoric while using gestures and everything, I couldn't disappoint her, right? Not again after what I did last time. Kaya imbes na mag-protesta tulad ng nakasanayan ko ay nilunok ko ang pride ko at sumagot ng matamlay na.

"Okay."

My mommy's eyes went exopthalmos in shock. "Okay? Your not going to put up a fight or anything about it? Are you sure?"

I nodded my head exageratedly. "Yeah, okay. And nope, I am not going to do anything."

She hugged me again and kissed my cheek. "Thanks, sweetie. Pinasaya mo si mommy. Okay, iiwan na kita at ng makapagpahinga ka na." At iniwan nya na nga akong mag-isa ng kuwarto ko.
