Akasia’s Point Of ViewThe midst feeling of loneliness as I sat in the middle of the table where Caleb and I were sitting. Heaven knows how I wanted to go home and take a deep rest. I wanted to sleep and to wake up from this nightmare. Nakita ko sa gilid ng mga mata ko na hindi rin natutuwa si Caleb. Kanina niya pa pinaglalaruan ‘yung glass of red wine na nasa table namin.After long hours of trying to talk with the other business tycoons. Tito Carlo ordered us to stay in the house that they bought. Caleb did not utter a word and just nodded.We were accompanied by some kind of driver that their family hired so that Caleb and I would be dropped off at the house.When we got to the designated place. A modern-looking house welcomed us with clean and furnished surroundings. There was lots of furniture, but some were missing. There are four normal-sized rooms and one master bedroom on the second floor. The first floor consists of a kitchen, living room, dining room, laundry room, and a

Akasia's Point Of ViewNakatulala lang akong nakatingin sa salamin habang pinagmamasdan ang sarili kong nakasuot na ng wedding gown.Ilang oras na lang at ikakasal na ako sa lalaking ‘yon. Ilang oras na lang ay darating na ang bagay na pagsisihan ko.The door opened, and it was my Dad who was holding a paper bag and heading towards me. I did not utter a word and just let him do his thing.“I am so sorry, hija. But this is the best decision for your life and our company.” He said as he handed me his gift.I did not look at him and just kept staring at myself in the mirror.I don’t want his gift, and I never wanted any of this.As soon as he left, tears came streaming down my eyes as I sobbed quietly.I never thought that I would get married this early and to the ruthless billionaire man. I imagined myself marrying someone I deeply love. Not just marrying for the sake of my family’s business.I wiped my tears when I heard the door open again. It was Lucila, and she saw me wiping my ey

Akasia’s Point Of ViewNakatakip si Lucila sa mga mata ko at dinadala ako sa kung saan. Sabi niya ay girl’s night out daw dahil trip niya lang. Nang alisin niya yung takip sa mga mata ko ay bumungad sa akin ang isang silid na puno ng ilaw at may design pa sa gitna.“Bride-to-Be”I read the design in the walls as I looked at Lucila’s smiling face.“It’s your wedding day tomorrow, deserve more than a bridal shower.” She said.Putang ina?“I don’t—” I tried to calm myself as I looked at the bunch of liquors in front of me.“I invited your friends, so let’s enjoy and have some fun for the last night of your single life.” Lucila cheekily said as she handed me a glass of Black Label.There I saw some of my friends from college and my close friends at my Dad’s work. “So, who’s the lucky guy?” Glydel asked me as she kissed my cheeks. She was one of my closest friends during college, and now she’s a professional doctor.“I bet he’s glad that he got someone like Akasia.” Michelle uttered. One

Akasia’s Point Of ViewA week has passed, and I am still not talking to my Dad. I never wanted any of this, and I hope he will know it so bad. “Wow, where’s your wedding dress?” My older brother tried to piss me off. I raised my middle finger at him, and he laughed. “Akai, please do me a favor.” I said. “Yes? Ano ‘yon?” He asked. “Be gone,” I said, and he laughed even more. He knows how to push my buttons!I need to meet up with Caleb again because our fathers ordered us to talk about the event and the place where the wedding will happen.I still have a week to come up with a plan on how to run away, right?I didn’t have a choice but to meet Caleb in the location he sent me. Imbes na kasama ko si Lucila na nag-sho-shopping, nandito ako at namimili ng venue sa kasal na hindi ko naman ginusto.Gusto kong maiyak sa inis!“I need your opinion, okay?” Caleb snapped off. Kanina pa kasi ako hindi kumikibo habang tinatanong ako nung organizer sa harapan namin.“Bakit hindi mo papiliin ‘

Akasia’s Point Of View“What?!”Caleb and I both shouted. He started uttering profanities while I was questioning my Dad.“Why? What the fuck? Papa, what is this?” He asked with his accent. He sounds so Italian while calling his father. Ngayon ko lang napansin na may babaeng katabi si Tito Carlo. Parang galit din siyang nakikipag-usap kay Tito Carlo nang marinig yung sinabi nila ni Dad.“Dad, what is this? Prank ba ‘to? I am not loving this.” I said to my Dad. “I’m sorry, hija. But you know that our company’s falling down, and we need your Tito Carlo’s help.” He said.“By what? By getting married to his arrogant son? Oh my gosh, Dad, you're stressing me out. Wala ka man lang planong sabihin sa akin na may plano ka palang ganito?” Galit na saad ko sa kaniya. “We don’t have a choice, Aki.” He called me by my nickname. Kanina lang nagsasaya ako sa party tapos malalaman ko na ikakasal na pala ako?!Handa na akong tumanggi sa sinabi nila. Ngayon lang ako tatanggi sa inuutos ni Dad dahi

Akasia’s Point Of ViewLoud noises, the arousing smell of alcohol, and shared laughter. I was enjoying the night with Lucila, one of my friends who has always been there for me since school days. We are currently in a club where we usually go during weekends.Most of the time we were out shopping for stuff, but tonight is different. We want to lure ourselves in with alcohol.“Are you having fun?” Lucila asked me while she took a shot of Black Label.“Of course! Next week pa ang uwi ni Dad, so I can do what I want! The night is still young!” I shouted in glee.“Girl? You're an adult, pero takot ka pa rin sa Dad mo?” She asked me. I simply nodded and took a shot too. Everyone’s scared of Dad, even my older brother is scared of him too. We were about to dance on the dance floor when my phone suddenly received a text. It was a text from my brother telling me to go home because Dad just came back from his flight.“Shit! I need to go!” Sabi ko kay Lucila. Nagtaka naman siya pero nag-thumb
