BS2: Chained by the Billionaire (On Hiatus)

Chapter 16

"H-husband duties mo mukha mo!" Ako naman ngayon ang nagulat. My face burned. I quickly turned my back at him and walked faster. Hindi ko na ininda ang sakit.

"Careful, Iana!" Ansel cussed when I quickened my pace, leaving him behind. "Damn ang tigas ng ulo."

When it dawned me, napahawak ako sa ulo ko. I am meeting his parents! Tonight! Masyado ata akong nadistract sa paghawak niya sa akin at pagtawag niya sa akin ng sanggol kaya nakaligtaan kong mapagtanto na ipapakilala na daw ako sa mga magulang niya!

Titig na titig ako sa repleksyon ko sa salamin. Napalingon lang ako nung may pumasok sa kuwarto. He pursed his lips while receiving my glares.

"What? I also need to get changed," he defended. Wala pa nga akong sinasabi.

"Ansel, pwede next year ko na lang sila i-meet?" Hindi ko napigilan ang sariling bunganga ko.

The corner of his lips raised. "I thought you're one fearless woman? What's wrong with meeting my parents?"

"Walang nakakatuwa, Ansel," mariin kong sabi.

Nakakapanibago nga dahil hindi siya galit at ganun din ako. It's surpirsing. Maayos kaming nag-uusap ngayon.

"I'll admit it. My mom is not that nice," sumeryoso ang mukha niya. Kinabahan tuloy ako. "But you have me. Nothing to worry about."

Hindi naman nakatulong 'yung sinabi niya! After he got some clothes to wear, he went to the other room to change there.

"You're just going to meet the Monterro's, Iana. Kaya mo 'yan! There's only two of them and you're ready used to facing people and paparazzis all the damn time! So chin up! Nothing to lose?"

Dumako ang tingin ko sa pintuan nang may kumatok rito. "Are you done? Can I come inside now?" Marahan ang boses niya.

'Yung nginig ko about na hanggang Mars. I inhaled shat before standing up, walking to the door. I'm wearing a modest dress that ends below my knees. It fitted my waist perfectly and the beads above my upper torso looked so elegant. This dress was actually given to me by my Mom. Some strands of my hair are cascading down the sides of my face. I placed it in a half bad and it actually doesn't look bad at all.

Since he was going to introduce me to his parents as his wife, I had to at least make it look realistic. Nilabas ko 'yung singsing na binigay niya dati at tinitigan iyon. The blue diamond looked so expensive and extremely rare. And the design was exquisite. And I cannot lie. It's damn beautiful and captivating. I inhaled sharply and slipped it on my finger. This is my engagement ring, as he said.

"Iana," Ansel knocked after calling my name.

I breathed and opened the door, watching how Ansel's eyes raked over my body. Napaayos soya ng tayo. Kita ko kung paano niya hagurin ng tingin ang kabuuan ko. But then his eyes ended looking at my lips.

Nakita kong bumaba ang tingin niya sa kamay ko. Tumagal doon ang titig niya tsaka bumaling sa akin.

Even I couldn't breathe. The atmosphere seems to be heavy. Nanigas ako nung abutin niya ang kamay ko. And I couldn't even talk when I felt him slip a ring.

"Wedding ring," he whispered.

My eyes went down on his hand too and I saw the pair of the ring he put on me. It was a gold plain ring but the way it fit our fingers perfectly... I actually stopped breathing for a little while. Tingin pa lang, halatang sobrang mahal na ng bayad.
