"This can't be! How the fuck did I become married when I only have a boyfriend? Sige nga?!"

Galit kong hinampas ang lamesa. My cousin, Scent, came here in New York just to deliver her eartshattering chika. Kasado nadaw ako sa pilipinas! At legal pa ang mga papeles! Wow ah, kailan naman ako nagpakasal, aber?!

She crossed her legs in front of me at halos matawa sa reaksyon ko. Damn this bitch!

"I don't know. Mukha ba akong may alam? Ibinalita lang rin sakin yan ni Titus nung nakaraang araw. All our cousins as well as your brothers has the same reaction like yours. Of course, sino ba namang hindi? Tanya Hail is a fucking married woman"

She chuckled and I breath dramatically. Fuck, maybe someone forge my signature, because the last time I know, I signed papers, projects and all. But not a marriage contract!

Inis kong ipinatawag si Iris. My secretary. She looks hesitant so enter my office 'cause she probably heared my loud voice earlier.

"Ma'am?"

"Iris, tell me the truth. Wala bang nahalo'ng marrige contract sa mga papeles na pinapapirmahan mo sakin?"

She pailed.
"W-wala naman p-po. Chine-check ko naman lahat ng mga papeles bago ibigay sa inyo. W-wala po talagang ganon"

Oh fuck!

I disheveled my hair. Gosh, this is making me so stress! I was supposed to go in my salon appointment right now but this bitch came with her fucking news! And it literally shake my world! Duh? Marriage is a big deal in the Philippines, at walang divorce doon! Anullment papers also takes time to process at mahihirapan din daw i annul ang kasal ko dahil complete requirements.

Jesus!

"Maybe someone is pulling some prank? Gosh, Scent!"

This time natawa na sya. Her shoulders are shaking.
"This is a serious prank then. At paano naman magiging prank kung legal lahat ng documento? Sige nga?"

Argh!

Pasalampak akong naupo. Pakiramdam ko magkaka wrinkles ako ngayon! Punyeta naman kase!

At isa pa pala! What if malaman 'to ni Art?! How am I supposed to explain myself when there are legal documents and my precious signature is on it?!

My god, what to do?!

Should I fly back to Philippines? Malamang! I need to fix this up before malaman ni Art!

But argh, at the same time, ayokong bumalik. Jace is also asking me favor week ago. She wants me to take her AH position for the mean time, and she'll triple the salary. At first, I was so tempt. Pero ng malaman kong isa si Hunter sa board members, kaagad akong nag back out. But I haven't told her yet. Cause I know she'll be upset.

But now, I have no choice but to fly back! Kailangan kong klarohin 'to before everythings get worst!

Fuck, I feel like I just made a terrible decision.

"So, any plans?"

I sighed. Fine then.
"I'll fly back. Aayusin ko to. I have to figure out who I am married with"

Wala kaseng nakasaad na pangalan sa papeles. But it's still legal. Maybe someone pulled some strings for this. He made such an effort, tsk.

"You sure?" she smirked. Alright, she also witness how wreck I was back then, but duh? That was all in the past. The reason why I don't want to go back in the philippines, ayokong may baka maulit. I'm still a walking trouble at baka lumala na naman sa pilipinas. I left, and I did promised not to go back. But I have to right now! This isn't a joke, and it needs my attention.

In short, I was left with no choice.

"Do I look like not?" suplada kong sabi. I only gained a laugh from her.

"Okay then. Sabay nalang tayo. Finish what you have to finish here, then we'll go back together"
