"Miss Jade, pumunta daw kayo sa living room sa second floor...naghihintay na po sila dun." sabi ng isa naming katulong
Sila? Akala ko si daddy lang ang kakausap sa akin. If I know, about business na naman ang pag-uusapan namin. I'm only 16 years old and yet pinipilit na ako ni daddy na magtrabaho sa kompanya namin. Ni hindi pa nga ako nakatuntong ng college tapos magtatrabaho na ako? It's not full time naman, siyempre nag-aaral ako pero wala talaga akong interes sa business namin eh.
Dumiretso agad ako sa living room namin sa second floor. Nagulat ako nang hindi lang si daddy at mommy at ang nadatnan ko dun. Naroon din si granddad at grandmom. This must be really important.
"Jade, take a seat." sabi sa akin ni daddy
Umupo naman ako sa tabi ni mommy which is sa harapan ni daddy at nila granddad. Aish! Ano ba yan? Ba't ang serious ng ambiance? First time kong naramdaman to, yung kinabahan ako dahil sa sasabihin nila. Hay!
"Jade, wag ka sanang mabibigla ah..." mommy said seriously. Minsan lang mag-seryoso si mommy tuwing kinakausap niya ako that's why alam ko na agad na ang sasabihin nila will be affecting me big time.
"There's this agreement, Jade...and these was agreed before you were born." pag-uumpisa ni granddad
"What about the agreement granddad? What's the agreement about?" I said
"Apo, you know we only want the best for you, right? You're our only grandchild and we love you so much." sabi naman ni grandmom
Wait! Ano bang pinagsasabi nila? Ano ba naman yang agreement na yan? Kinakabahan na talaga ako.
"Grandmom, I know that you all love me. Pero, please sabihin niyo na kung ano ang agreement na yan...pinapakaba niyo ako eh."
"Jade, it was agreed that you'll marry one of the sons of our biggest business partners at the same time our closest friends." sabi naman ni daddy while looking straight to my eyes
Nanlaki ang mata ko sa sinabi ni dad. What? Teka! Is he serious? I looked at him and I can see that he's really serious. No! This can't be happening! Ni ayaw ko ngang mapalapit sa isang lalaki tapos ipapakasal na nila ako?
"Dad, you've got to be kidding me." I said saka ngumiti ng mapait
"That's true Jade. You'll meet him tommorrow night, they will come here."
"But dad...I'm only sixteen tapos magpapakasal na ako? Ni hindi pa nga ako nakaka-graduate ng high school."
"I didn't said that you'll marry him right away. It will be two years from now, that time...you're already 18."
Tumingin ako kay mommy na parang nagsasabing " I need your help " pero wala siyang ginawa.
"I'm sorry Jade, but everything is set for your engagement. Wala ka nang magagawa dun. Whether you like it or not, you'll marry him." saad ni daddy with full authority on his voice
