Ruled by the Blaze (The Unwanted Marriage)

CHAPTER 13



Patricia's POV (Final Choice)

"Final choice mo na yan, ha? Wala ng atrasan"

Tinulungan na ako ni Jess sa pag-aayos ng damit ko pagkatapos sabihin 'yon.

"May choice pa ba? Lahat naman ng gusto ko balewala dahil gusto nila ang nasusunod" bulalas ko bago isinara ang maleta dahil puno na ito ng damit.

Kinuha ni Jess ang isa pang maleta. "Mabuti na rin ito. Mas mapapalapit kayo sa isa't isa"

"Shut up, Jess!" irita kong sabi.

It's been week since Callum brought me to his so called 'our house'. It was troubled. Hanggang ngayon hindi ko parin siya pinapansin, hindi ko sinasagot ang mga tawag niya. I know it's immature but I can't help but to get mad at him. He agreed to let us live in the same house. What if he didn't agree? I became even more angry with him when I found out that he was the owner of the house where we going to lived. Stupid isn't it?

"Don't you think that he might be mad with what you're doing? Well, not to offend you but what if he gets tired of following his parent's order to coax you and he decides to end his relationship with you? Like filling an annulment?" Hindi ako nakasagot sa sinabi niya. Nakaramdam ako ng kaba at takot pero hindi ko iyon ipinahalata.

Ipinagpatuloy ko ang ginagawa at napaisip sa mga narinig. Shit. Why do I feel guilt now?

Kinain ko na naman ang sinabi ko. I told him last time that I'll never agreed to this new set up but look what I'm doing? I'm arranging all my things to take to that freaking house. I also have no choice. Wala na akong mukhang maihaharap sa kanya. Siguro nga ay tinatawanan niya na ako ngayon. I'm sure mom already updates him that I'm packing my things.

I'll be busy this month. Next week is my first day of class as a med student and I need to focus on studying. I also need to deal with those people I'll meet because I can already see in the articles that someone has already discovered about my wedding with Callum. My friends advised me not to open all my social media accounts which I'll definitely do

After Jess and I fixed my things, we went to the mall to buy school supplies.

"Busy daw si Tyrone kaya hindi makakasama" sabi ni Jess habang nandito kami sa book store.

We bought few things before deciding to tour the mall after. Naglalakad kami ni Jess habang kumakain ng ice cream nang may maaninag akong pamilyar na pigura sa malayo.

"Is that Zara Banner?" I followed my gaze to the woman entering inside a botique shop.

She was wearing a close-fitting red dress while her long hair was curled. She's really hot.

"Zara? Yung model ba na masama ang ugali?" intriga ni Jess.

Kumunot ang noo ko..

"Narinig ko lang na maarte raw yan! Hindi naman siya sobrang sikat" bulong niya na parang maraming alam.

Chismosa talaga.

"Narinig mo lang pala. That might not be true" sabi ko bago siya hinila roon sa botique.

Agad hinanap ng mata ko si Zara at nakitang pumipili siya ng damit.

"Buti pumunta tayo rito! May bibilhin rin pala ako" saad ni Jess at hinayaan ko lang siya pumili.

Hahawakan ko na sana ang isang casual dresses nang may marinig akong iringan sa paligid. I can hear people arguing.

Naintriga ako at hinanap 'yon. Nakita ko ang kumpulan ng tao na pinalilibutan si Zara Banner at isang babaeng sa tiyak ko ay isang high school student.

What's happening?

"I told you, I didn't want to, right? Why are you so insistent?!" maarteng sigaw ni Zara sa babae.

Nag bulungan ang mga tao sa paligid. Maging ako ay naawa sa babae, napapahiya siya.

"G-Gusto ko lang po magpapicture.." tila paiyak na ang babae.

Isang sales lady ang pumagitna sa kanila at umawat. "Mam Zara, pasensya na po-"

"This mall should ban people like her!" Zara shouted before angrily turning her back.

Dinaluhan ang babae ng mga kaibigan niya. Well, if I was in her position I would cry too.

"See? Ngayon naniniwala ka na? Kaya hindi siya sumisikat ng bongga ay dahil may atittude!" sabi ni Jess sa tabi ko.

I suddenly remembered what mommy said that Zara was once Callum's fiance. She also said that Zara really like Callum. Does she know about me and Callum? What will be her reaction if she found out that Callum and I are already married? Hindi matanggal sa isip ko ang sopistikadang mukha ni Zara hanggang makauwi kami. Hinatid ko na rin si Jess sa kanila. I haven't parked my car in our garage yet when I immediately saw a familiar car there.

Callum's black mercedes bench.

I was nervous so I went straight to my room through the back door. My things was already arranged and I've also talked to my parents. They say that I just want to go with the flow since it's all an act. Only my brother Jordan is against it even me, but we can't do anything either.

May isa rin akong tanong na gusto sabihin kay mommy but it's too sensitive. Maybe I'll find right timing.

I've been thinking about it for a long time but I don't know if it's a good idea. I want to file an annulment so that I can be free but I am also worried because the Velasquez might take back their shares in our company. "Mam Patricia?"

Lumingon ako sa pinto ng may kumatok. I heard our maid's voice.

"May bisita po kayo sa ibaba-"

"Ah-sige! Pupunta na ako.." sabi ko bago tumingin sa salamin.

I checked my look first and replaced my jeans and crop top with a flawless dress. I made sure I looked good before facing Callum.This content © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.

Magkadaop ang mga kamay ko habang bumababa sa hagdan. Nag-iisip na ako kung ano ang sasabihin kay Callum. Natagpuan ko siya'ng nakaupo sa sofa at umangat ang tingin ng marinig ang yabag ko. "You're here. Where's your things?" he said blankly.

"Uh.. n-nasa itaas" napapikit ako ng gumaralgal ang boses ko.

Tumayo siya at kinuha ang dalawa kong maleta na buhat ng mga katulong. Diretso siya sa labas ng hindi ako tinatawag.

Galit kaya siya?

Wala akong choice kundi sumunod. I saw him putting my things in the car. When he saw me, he opened the door of the passenger seat for me.

Nakayuko akong sumakay.

Magkatabi kami ngayon kaya bumalot sa sasakyan ang perfume niya. Lihim akong napasinghot. Ang bango niya!

Mabilis kaming nakarating sa bahay at pakiramdam ko'y panis na ang laway ko dahil wala kaming kibo kanina sa biyahe. He took my things again and I was surprised when I saw the detail of the house when I entered. The design was simple but elegant. May ilang gamit na rin tulad ng mga sofa at t. v.

This house is too big for the two of us. Well, Jess and even my parents promised that they would visit me here. Tahimik kong sinundan ni Callum pataas ng hagdan. May tatlong malaking kwarto at binuksan niya ang nasa gitna.

The room was quite big. Callum placed my things to the king sized bed.

"This will be your room" he said and looked at me.

Nataranta ako at nag kunwari na tumitingin sa paligid. "O-Okay"

"Fix your things. There's also a closet there. I'll just go down to cook our food"

He left after saying that.

Napaupo ako sa kama at napatulala.

This is just the beginning of my misery.
