Marrying my Devil Ex-Boyfriend

Chapter 2

Kinaumagahan napagpasyahan kong dumalaw sa mansyon namin. I miss the old man. my dad is not like any other father in town, he has his own way of showing his love for me, yeah he gave me everything that i needed, but he always sees to it that I deserve it. hindi ako spoiled sa material na bagay, kailangan paghirapan ko muna bago ko makuha. That's how he raised me. I love him pero minsan nakakapagod din maging loving and obedient daughter.

"hi dad! Goodmorning! " i greeted as i kissed him in the forehead.

" iha! buti napadalaw ka! patatawagan na sana kita kay Bernie para pumunta dito, i have some important things to discuss with you " he said seriously

"what is it dad? something to do with business ba? "

"YES AND NO" seryoso parin siya. That made me more curious about what's running through his mind. parang kinabahan ako.

"Raffy do you have a boyfriend now? " lalo akong naguluhan sa tanong ni dad, somethings not right. oh s**t! he's gonna put me into trouble! please dad.. dont do this.

"what are you trying to say dad" magkasalubong ang kilay ko ng tanong sa kanya. naiinis na ako sa magiging takbo ng usapan.

"anak, alam kong alam mo na. i'll go straight to the point. you are going to marry the guy i have chosen to be your husband "

"but not this fast daddy! alam kong ipapakasal mo ako one of this days sa isa sa mga business associates mo, pero cant you see i'm still enjoying my life! hindi naman ako tatakbo sa responsibilidad. haharapin ko naman eh! but just this one, can you please give me freedom for a little more time? "

"i think i have given you already enough time RAFAELA! my decision has been made you'll gonna marry MARCOE GABRIEL VILLEGAS in two months time "

"WHAT!!!! but dad---"

"no more buts Rafaela. you know me."

After that argument with my dad, dumiretso na ako sa aking silid and went straight to my bed, I cuddled Mister pumpkin , my life size teddy bear na niregalo ng yumao kong ina when I was fifteen. doon ko inilabas ang kanina pang nagbabadyang mga luha. I love my father very much, and I can do everything just for him to be happy. But I can't marry the man he wants for me. MARCOE. he was totally ruthless in his self-interest. I loved him but it was unrequited. parang pinagbagsakan ako ng langit at lupa sa pumutok na rebelasyon mula kay daddy. I wasn't surprised when my father told me to marry someone, because I already knew it three years ago and accepted it. Ang hindi ko matanggap ay ang katotohanang si Marcoe, anak ng kadiliman ang ipinagkasundo sa akin! damn this life!

XXXXXXXXXXXX

MARCOE's

When I entered the coffee shop someone already caught my attention, that b***h!. she's always around at palagi nalang umiinit ang ulo ko lalo pa nung nalaman ko kay papa kung sino ang matagal ng ipinagkasundo sa akin. if it wasn't for business di sana ay tumakbo nalang ako at nagpakalayo layo. I can't imagine myself marrying someone who's not worth it. She's nothing compared to Hannah. my first love, who turned out to be the b***h's rival in every aspect. Noong nasa college kami lagi niyang inaapi si hannah, she's a spoiled brat who always gets what she wanted. HAnnah had been very good to me, she's my ideal girl, but she never was my girlfriend dahil ayaw ng mommy ko sakanya. She's pretty and i could say very simple. but I also have to admit that Raffy's far more beautiful than her. oh! gross! Marcoe.. she's just a pretty face. thats just it. she's nothing!

Hindi ko napansin na dumating na pala ang hinihintay ko dahil nakamasid lang ako sa taong kinamumuhian ko "bro! layo na ng nilipad ng utak natin ah" pang aalaska ni Xander.

"nah! i just thought of something" tanging nasabi ko nalang.

"you are staring at the prettiest girl inside the coffee bar, type mo pare? " nang iintrigang tanong ni xander

"i never thought may lahi ka palang tsismoso, you know it's always hannah" i told him to dismiss his thoughts.

"aba! kala ko naman kasi, ang ganda kasi kala ko nahumaling ka din kay Raffy"

"you know her?" nagulat ako at biglang napataas ang boses ko sa di malamang dahilan.

"cool pare.. calm down, ipapaliwanag ko, I just knew her two weeks ago, i was one of the investors of their company and it happens na siya ang nakipag negotiate sa akin, she's really something. beauty and brains. thats a major turn on pare! thats why I asked her out, but she just turned me down"

hindi na ako muling nagsalita dahil wala din naman akong sasabihin. he's right after all. she's beauty with brains thats why she was appointed as the COO of their company hindi dahil sila ang may ari at dad niya ang CEO but because she deserves it.

"pare do you think asking her the second time around would make her nod? kilala mo naman ata siya eh? "

"no" I answered with blank expression. ang kulit ni Xander. kung pwede ko lang sabihin na pakakasalan ko ang babaeng gusto niyang pormahan baka manahimik nalang siya. but of course who am I to do that.. wala naman ako paki sa personal life ng wife-to-be ko. sa papel ko lng siya magiging asawa.

"hanggang ngayon wala ka paring cooperation" he just hissed

napalingon ako sa lugar kung nasan si Raffy at ng kaibigan niya nung tumayo sila at lumabas ng coffee shop. at hindi ko namamalayan na tumayo na rin ako sa kinauupuan ko at sinundan ang magkaibigan. I left Xander alone in that table na hanggang ngayon ay pinagiisipan pa ang susunod na gagawin nya sa kabaliwan niya sa fiance ko.

para akong addict na nakasinghot ng cocaine na sinusundan ang kotse ni raffy na nagtungo sa isang bar. It was jacob's place. ano naman ang gagawin niya dito? i have to know because she's not really into alcohol. ewan ko nlng sa mga nagdaang panahon kung tumaas na ang alcohol tolerance ng katawan niya. pag nakainom o nakatikim pa naman ng alak ang babaeng yun parang sinaniban. don't get me wrong i'm not worried and i dont care about here. mapapangasawa ko siya at kilala kami pareho sa larangan ng business. It wouldnt do any good for my name if the woman whom i'm going to marry will be seen in a place like this. she will just ruin my image. pagkatapos kong magmasid ay dumiretso na ako sa taong kauupo palang ay nakatatlong shots na ng tequila.

"so you're here, drowning yourself to alcohol and hoping to get laid later by some random bastard huh? " naiirita kong tanong. halata sa itsura niya ang pagka gulat, ngunit nakabawi din naman agad at tumingin sa mga mata ko.

"that is your opinion.Well I dont remember asking you" malamig pa sa yelong sagot niya.

"you are still the same woman i knew seven years ago" naiinis na akong tumalikod dahil kung di ko pa ginawa ay hindi ko na napigilan ang sarili ko at kinaladkad siya pauwi sa kanila.

that b***h didn't fail to hit my nerves. she's really stubborn. oh Lord please tell me how to get along with that kind of woman. for goodness sake, she'll become my wife in two months time!
