ALYANNA'S POV:
"What did you just say?" di makapaniwalang tanong ko dito sa lalaking kasama ko ngayon dahil feeling ko nabingi ata ako dun sa sinabi niya
"I need you to marry me! You will become my wife, and I will become your husband" sabi niya sakin na siyang ikinagulat ko
"Wow! As in wow!" di makapaniwalang sabi ko
Di ko inexpect na sa kanya ko pa talaga maririnig yung mga salitang binigkas niya!!
Parang kanina lang humingi siya ng tulong sakin para mabago ang isip ng Lola niya tapos ngayon ganyan ang sasabihin niya sakin.
Parang pinagtritripan ako nitong lalaking to ah!!
"Just say yes para matapos na ang usapan" seryosong sabi niya sakin
"Wait lang ha! Kasi parang kanina humihingi ka ng tulong sakin para mag bago ang isip nung Lola mo! Tapos ngayon para kang sino kung mag demand na tanggapin ko yung offer ng Lola mo na magpakasal sayo!!" seryosong sabi ko sa kanya kaya naman siya ngumiti
"Are you crazy??" seryosong tanong ko sa kanya
"Kasi parang bumaliktad ata yung utak mo" sabi ko ulit sa kanya
"Yes! I've gone mad becuase of that old lady. She took everything from me, and the only thing that can save my life is you marrying me." seryosong sabi niya tsaka niya hinawakan ang magkabilang kong balikat sabay titig nang sobrang seryoso sa aking mga mata
"You're joking, right? Because it's not funny at all!" seryosong sabi ko naman sa kanya habang naka tingin ako sa mga mata niya
"I'm serious! I really, really need your help" seryosong sabi niya
I could feel his sincerity while I was looking straight into his eyes. Well, I thought he was just making fun of me, but after staring at his eyes for few minutes, I saw how serious he is.
"I really want to help you, but what you're asking is too much for me" naawang sabi ko sa kanya habang naka tingin sa mga mata niya
"You're asking me to marry you? I'm sorry to say this, but I won't do that, and I know you don't want to either. You're only doing this because your grandmother is pressuring you to marry me" sabi ko sa kanya at mahahalata sa mata niyang na-disappoint siya sa sinabi ko
He was disappointed by what I just said. That's why he let go of my shoulder, and then he looked down.
"Can I ask if there is something going on?" curious na tanong ko sa kanya kaya naman iniangat na niya yung ulo niya mula sa pagkakayuko tsaka siya tumingin ulit sakin
"I can help you in anything except accepting that marriage" sabi ko ulit sa kanya pero hindi pa rin siya sumasagot at umupo siya sa may gilid nung swimming pool
"Are you okay?" worried na tanong ko sa kanya tsaka naman ako umupo sa may tabi niya
"She took everything!" seryosong sabi niya
"What exactly did she take from you that made you look so desperate?" nagtatakang tanong ko sa kanya
"She cancelled all cards and she even took my car! There's nothing left on me! She even warned everyone to never give me money or anything since I'm on my own now!"
"How am I supposed to live now? I don't have a single penny left on me" naiinis na sabi niya
"Do you need money?" tanong ko sa kanya tapos tinitigan niya ako ng sobrang seryoso
