Yes I'm Gay But I'm Married To A Woman (Completed)

Chapter 20: Change of Plans

Symerra Scarlet Reyes

"Yes, Lolo. I will be a very good husband."

I pursed my lips when those words came out of Arck's mouth. Sinubukan kong bawiin ang kamay kong mahigpit niyang hawak pero hindi niya ako binitawan.

Tinitigan ko siya. Nakangiti lang siya kay Lolo Leon na halatang tuwang-tuwa sa narinig mula sa apo.

"Hindi pa man kayo ikinakasal pero nakikinita ko ng magiging mabuti kayong asawa sa isa't isa." Nakangiting saad ni Lolo Leon.

"Ah o-opo." Sagot ko at ngumiti kay Lolo.

Sandali pa kaming kinausap ni lolo bago kami lumabas dahil kailangan na niyang magpahinga. Hanggang nakalabas kami ng private room, hawak hawak pa rin ni Arck ang kamay ko.

It's weird. Totally weird. Parang nakalimutan ko kung paano ako kinausap ni Lolo Leon kanina. Nasapawan 'yon ng kalituhan na si Arck ang dahilan.

I know he said that to Lolo Leon to make him feel better. To assure him that the wedding will happen. I know that at this situation, I don't have a choice too. But are we really going to marry each other without romantic feelings involved?

Sinalubong kami nila Mommy.

"Ano'ng sinabi ni Papa?" Tanong ni Tito Lando.

"Kinausap niya lang po kami tungkol sa kasal Tito." Sagot ni Arck at tumango si Tito.

They all looked relieved.

"Sige. Umuwi na kayo kami na ang bahala rito." Sabi ni Tito Lando.

Nanahimik lang ako habang hinihila ang kamay mula sa pagkakahawak ni Arck na binitiwan naman niya.

"Sige po."

"Bye Mom, Dad, mga Tito at Tita. Ingat po kayo. Una na po kami." Paalam ko sa kanilang lahat.

Tahimik lang kami nang maglakad na kami palabas ng hospital. Seems like Arck will not talk to me. Kaya dumiretso na ako sa kotse ko.

Until Arck stopped me. Hinawakan niya ako sa braso kaya napatigil ako at nilingon siya.

"Symerra, let's talk about our wedding." Seryoso niyang saad.

"I know that you don't want to be married to me but please I beg you, please.. marry me. I don't want to hurt my grandfather." And he looked at me, pleadingly.

I sighed. "Arck, hindi ka pa man dumating, kinausap na ako ni Lolo Leon. I was torn too. But I know, wala akong choice. Wala tayong choice. Hindi ko rin kayang biguin si Lolo Leon so I'll marry you. Matutuloy ang kasal." There. I told him my option, which is by the way, my only option. Our only option.

"But promise me please, promise me that we'll remain friends." Dagdag ko. He nodded.

"I can't believe that I am getting married." Napailing siya at tumawa saka sinandal ang likod sa hood ng kotse.

"Me too. I can't believe I'm getting married to you." I sighed.

"So, are we going to stay married?" Tanong niya.

"I don't know." Sagot ko at pinagkrus ang braso.

Maybe. Do we have a choice? No, because there's no divorce here.
