The Mismatch

My family found me. I met him and now this arrangement is happening because we need Terrence, their family's fortune to be exact, and just by marrying him is the only way to save us. Yan ang katotohanang kahit bali-baliktarin ko man ang mundo ay hindi magbabago, na kailangan namin siya para sa pansarili naming interest.

“Hindi po ba parang ang samang pakinggan ng gusto niyong mangyari?” Tanong ko kay Daddy na seryosong nakaupo sa harap ko. Isang iling lang ang sinagot sakin ni Daddy kaya napabagsak nalang ako ng mga balikat.

I'm hopeless. We are hopeless!

I had a point but dad has a point too. We both had a point but kung 'yung perspective ko ang susundin mas malaki ang chance na walang mangyari.

“Alam ba 'to ng mga Fernandez? I mean alam ba nilang ginagamit lang natin sila for our own good sake?” Tanong ko pa, and I know ang tanga ng tanong ko dahil obvious naman na hindi ang sagot doon.

Alam kong nonsense na ang ibang mga nagiging tanong ko, well masisisi ba nila ako? Hindi ko lang naman kasi mapigilang magtanong  lalo na't ako ang naiipit dito. Myghod I feel like I'm being thrown away in the crocodiles den.

“They don't know anything.” Casual na sagot ni Daddy. Expected ko na ang sahot niya kaya nagkibit balikat nalang ako tsaka sumamdal sa sandalan ng inuupuan ko.

“I'm dead…” I mumbled out, then looked at Dad with a nervouse expression, “I'm sure of it, the moment they know about our plan, I'm dead.”

They had the power, the money, and the connections, kayang-kaya nila kaming parusahan in just a single snapped of their hands pagnalaman nila ang plano namin.

“Mahal ka ni Terrence and sapat ng dahilan yun para protektahan kanya. I'm sure hindi siya papayag na mapahamak ka.” Seryosong sabi ni Dad. Napalunok nalang ako at nag iwas ng tingin dahil sa sinabi niya.

Terrence you're the worst!

“Kasalanan mo 'tong Terrence ka pag-ako na-deads!” I mumbled in the air as I closed my eyes out of frustration.

He love me? Oh come on! Wag na kaming maglokohan dito dahil alam kong pinaglalaruan lang ako ng hambog na'yun, and he is enjoying it while I'm here, hanging because of those false words he said about love and me.

I snickered then looked at him, “Hindi parin yun sapat na rason, Dad. Yes, he love me NOW but sure ba kayong bukas, sa makalawa o sa mga susunod na taon mahal parin niya ako? His a playboy Dad!” Litanya ko at talagang in-emphasize ko ang NOW.

Well I'm just stating the fact here about a certain Terrence Fernandez. Pangalan pa nga lang ng hambog na'yun tunog manloloko na. His a player, and a player will always be a player.

“He will, Solana. He will be.” He retorted and just shrugged his shoulder.

I bit my lower lip as I felt a sudden chills after Dad says that, “Anong ibig niyong sabihin?” Takang tanong ko.

What is he planning again?

“Yes, he is a playboy, that's why you'll have to make him fall for you madly and deeply in love with you. Make him go crazy for you. Make him love you until the end.” Aniya and hearing my dad, parang napakadali ng pinapagawa niya. Muntik pa nga akong masamid sa sarili kong laway dahil sa sinasabi niyang iyon.

This man is crazy, like those two that I met in the university. Make Terrence fall in-love with me, you say people…

“Until the end huh?” May halong sarcasm kung sambit then crossed my arms habang nakasandal parin sa sandalan ng inuupuan ko.
