HIS OBSESSION (UNDER EDITING)

CHAPTER 40

YOHAN

Uhm...

Paano ba?

 I'm not  really sure how will I supposed to explain my side. I'm not very good at explaining non-business topics and at the same time I'm uh... uh..— Goddamn it!

I can't even think straight. 

I am a terrible narrator.

I was compelled to lie to my beautiful Elle. Actually, there is no business meeting that I will attend, nor  a client or meeting that I am supposed to attend or will happen I was simply forced to lie in order to carry out the plan that Zarina and I devised for a long time.

I had already decided this thing when I awoke from the coma that I would propose to Elle for marriage if we ever crossed paths again. Julia, Sam, and Zarina, as well as Elle's and my families, had been looking forward to this day. 

And this is the day, the long wait is over—in just few hours left today I will finally going to propose to the woman whom I didn't expect that I will love wholeheartedly.

February 13, the same day as my birthday is also the day which I finally  pop up the sweetest question.

Earlier this morning, while baking a cake, the thought of proposing to Elle crossed my head. 

Actually, I had been planning for this for a long time but the accident occurred.

Nobody can stop me now; the marriage proposal will  happen whether they like it or not.

I became even more eager to marry her when I overheard my sister disparaging her, belittling, and calling Elle horrible names. I want to slap Ate Yoora in the face with the reality that I will never leave nor hurt my Elle. Whether she likes it or not, I'm marrying Elle and no one else. Not even Bella, not anyone.

Sina Julia, at Zarina ang naka-assign sa venue, sila ang nag-organize at nag-decorate, si Nanay Elsa ang nakatoka sa mga foods and other stuff  along with Cherry—yeah, my  employee. Ako naman at si Sam ay namimili pa rin hanggang ngayon ng singsing na pupwede kong isuot sa magagandang daliri niya.

I want the most expensive and the most precious ring.

'Yong singsing na siya lang ang magmamay-ari. 

"Anong nagustuhan mo? Ito bang Classic Six-Prong Solitaire Engagement Ring or etong Pavé Halo Diamond Engagement Ring?" tanong ni Sam habang hawak ang dalawang maliit na pulang kahon na naglalaman ng dalawang singsing na puno ng mga dyamante. Classy and elegant just like Elle... "Or eto na lang na Art-Nouveau Pavé Set Diamond Engagement Ring?"

"Give me the most expensive ring," wika ko sa sales lady.

Medyo natagalan kami sa pamimili ng ng singsing, I want the most expensive one kaya naman naghanap pa ako ng engagement ring na nagkakahalaga ng sixty thousand pesos or mor, sunod kami na bumili ng mga mahal na bulaklak for Elle. Matagal na dapat ako na nakabili ng mga ito at nakapag-propose sa kaniya kung hindi nga lang dumating si Dominic at sinira ang lahat. 

Oo, si Dominic. 

Siya ang pinakasinisisi ko sa lahat, naikwento na sa akin ni Ate Yanna ang nangyari. Everything he did to my Elle, iniiwasan ko na lang talaga na mapag-usapan. 

Sikreto akong kikilos para maipaghiganti ko ang mag-ina ko.

What he did, along with his other apprentice is unforgivable.

"Siguro naman okay na 'yan no? Nai-text ko na si Zarina, ang sabi ko papunta na tayo. Maayos na ang venue, nandoon na rin ang musical band na tutugtug habang papalapit si Elle. Natimbrehan na rin sina Tita Elsa pati na si Xavier na magiging personal driver ni Elle papunta sa venue." Pagbabalita ni Sam habang nakatapat ang cellphone sa tainga niya habang kausap si Zarina.
