Paglabas ko sa hotel ay dumeretso ako sa cafe na pagmamay-ari ng kaibigan ko. Doon ko nalang ilalabas ang galit ko. After a couple minutes ay narating ko na ang cafe malapit lang naman kase sa hotel namin.
" Hi Ika" salabong kong bati kay Ericka . Nagulat sya sa pagdating agad syang lumabas sa counter at lumapit sa akin.
"oy napadalaw ka bes" aniya
Niyakap ko muna sya ng mahigpit bago ako magsalita.
" It's my mom nagkasagutan kami kanina sa opisina nya." mahina kong sabi sabay upo sa stool.
Umalis sya sa kinatatayuan nya at pumasok sa kusina. Pagbalik nya ay may dala syang lemonade.
"Uminom ka muna" sabay abot sa akin ang inumin. Umupo sya sa isang stool sa tabi ko.
"Salamat" ani ko. Uminom ako ng kaunti at huminga ng malalim.
" So, is it about the money" tanong nya sa akin.
"Yes and its not just about the money but worst. " tumingin sya sa akin with a confused look.
"what do you mean?" tanong ulit nya sa akin.
" I'm getting married" simple kung tugon.
She looked at me with a shocking reaction. Her eyes widened and her mouth is half open. Hindi ata sya makapaniwala sa sinabi ko. Well sino ba naman kase ang hindi magugulat, a woman like me is not a type to get married soon.
"what! tama ba iyong narinig ko your getting married?! Tell me its a joke" mahaba nyang sabi habang niyuyugyog ako.
" Stop it, its not a joke its real kaya nga ako andito para humingi ng tulungan mo. I need your help Ika" pakiusap ko sa kanya
She started to calm her self. "Then get married, its not a big problem" ngiti nyang sabi.
I was surprised sa tugon nya. What is she thinking, hindi ko akalain na sasabihin nya yon. Ito talagang bestfriend ko she always make fun of serious situation.
"what the hell Ika, I just said I need your help and I dont want to get married " inis kong sabi sa kanya
She laugh a bit. " what's wrong of getting married, i think that a nice idea" pangiti nyang tugon.
I glared at her " Please be serious here Ika, cant you see I'm getting married to a man I dont even know or what he is!" pagalit kong sabi sa kanya.
She looked me again with confusing looked. Okay I forgot to tell her that it was an arrange marriage.
" Sorry I forgot to tell you it was an arrange marriage and it was planned by my parents. " paliwanag ko
" tama ba ulit ang narinig ko!? " sigaw nyang tanong sa akin.
Tumango ako "okay your parents wants you to get married for the sake of the company? " tanong nya
"Yes, kaya kailangan ko ng tulong mo." ako
Umupo sya ng maayos bago sya nagsalita
" I dont know I think its the best to just follow your parents. I mean its for the sake of your company."
Tumungin ako sa kanya with a suprised look.
"Hindi naman kase madali yang sinasabi nyo. Getting married is not an option. I think my iba pang paraan."
