Patricia's POV " 1, 2, 3! Smile!" Matamis akong ngumiti sa camera habang dinadama ang suot na toga. Today is our graduation pictorial and I feel so happy. I can already feel the juice of my sufferings. Nang matapos akong kuhanan ng litrato ay si Jess naman. Saglit akong nag retouch at sinuri ang sarili sa salamin. Suot ko ang isang pulang off shoulder dress. Si Jess at Kelvin ang nag ayos sakin. Kahit ang mga kaklase ko ay masasaya at magaganda ang ayos. Kukuhanan ulit kami ng litrato para sa creative shot kaya umupo muna ako sa pinakadulong parte ng classroom para mag hintay. Nabasa ko ang isang text messages ni mommy. From: MommyCallum will go to your school to pick you up. Good luck to your pictorial! My mood suddenly changed. Kaya ko naman umuwi mag isa! I doubt that Callum will come because of me. Hindi ko pa nga pala nakakausap si mommy tungkol kay Callum at sa babaeng kasama niya. Last week pa 'yon nangyari pero hindi ko pa nasasabi sa kanya dahil dumoble ang pagiging b
Patricia's POV Within weeks, a lot happened. I became even busier as well as my parents. My meeting with Callum was not followed up anymore because I knew he was also busy and was just forced to follow mommy's order. Until my graduation came. My hand was shaking as I received my diploma on stage. I didn't know what smile I would make in front of the camera because even my lips were trembling. I was so happy and my tears were welling up in my eyes but I tried not to cry because my make up would be ruined. Finally! I watched how my parents proudly hung my medals on me when my name called as gaining a spot as Magna Cum Laude. Malakas akong pinalakpakan ng mga estudyante hanggang makababa ng stage. "Congrats!" "Congrats, Patricia! No doubt, you're really a beauty and brain!" Ngumiti ako sa pag bati ng mga kaklase ko. Natapos ang ceremony at kanya-kanya na kaming kuhaan ng litrato. May mga kaklaseng lumalapit sakin para magpapicture. Kasama ko rin sila Jess, Kelvin at Tyron
Callum's POV I couldn't quite imagine that in just one thing..my life would change instantly to what it was before. I can no longer do what I used to do before because I already have a heavy responsibility. Not the responsibility of being eldest child, big brother or taking care of the company but the responsibility of marrying someone I don't even know. And today is the day I hate the most. Today, I seems to be drowning and hurting by fate and making me feel like this is the thing I deserve. Today is my wedding day. "Is she already here? She was already two minutes late!" I said impatiently to Austine, my friend who was standing next to me and wearing a gray suit like me. Patricia is still not here, I didn't even see her come here to the venue. Did she back out? Our last meeting was when we chose her wedding gown and after that, she seemed anxious and troubled. We didn't meet after that because I'm also busy and I think she gave quality time for herself since she just grad
Callum's POV "Sir, may meeting po kayo mamayang 11 a.m" Isang tango lang ang sagot ko kay sharlene, secretary ko bago tuluyang pumasok sa office. I just sitted in front of my table when I received a text message from mommy. She says that I need to pick up Patricia at their house and bring her here at the company since she's my wife now. I need to make her understand how I deal with the business industries. I massaged my temple with so much stress. My secretary entered the office and was holding folders. "Do I have errands before 9 a.m?" I asked before I glanced at my watch. "Wala, sir. Pipirmahan niyo lang po ang mga ito" she laid the folders in front of me. "Kailangan na rin po ito before 8" It's only seven o'clock now so I can still pick up Patricia. My secretary left and I immediately signed the folders and papers. "It's already signed. I'll be back at before 9" I told my secretary on the call. Umalis agad ako at nag drive papunta sa bahay ng mga Clemente. I haven't been
Patricia's POV "You need to live with him..." My tongue stocked because of mom's words. I looked at her while holding my tears. "Why do I have to, mom? I did what you wanted! I married him!" nagitla siya sa reaksyon ko. Siguro naman ay may karapatan akong mag reklamo. I married Callum for our company. I don't love him so why the hell do I have to live in the same house with him?! "I noticed that Mrs. Velasquez is a bit strict. You are both married and it's common for the both of you to live in the same house-" "Mom, this is not what you promised.." my voice shuttered as my tears began to rolled down. Sobrang sakit. Ipinamimigay na ba nila ako? Are they satisfied because our company is back to normal again? "P-Patricia, I know..but, Callum's parents was asking about it" her voice trembled, she was about to approach me but I avoided her. I wiped away my tears. Kinuha ko ang isang folder na ibibigay sana sakin ni mommy kanina. Binuklat ko iyon at mas lalo akong nanghin
Patricia's POV "Final choice mo na yan, ha? Wala nang 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
Patricia's POV I always tell myself that I'll just enjoy my life once I am become successful, when I get what I want and reach my dream but I don't expect that I'll experience first to take my responsibilities as a wife before finishing my studies. "What are you doing? You're too early" napaigtad ako sa pag sulpot ng boses ni Callum. Lumingon ako at nakita ang inaantok pa niya'ng mukha. "Obviously cooking" I replied before flipping the egg in the pan. It's another stressful morning. Hindi ako masyadong nakatulog dito dahil naninibago ako. I'm not comfortable with the new environment here especially that I'm with him. Naisipan kong magluto na lang kahit sobrang aga pa dahil hindi na rin naman ako makatulog. "Oh, you know how to cook" he sounds amaze. Napatigil ako. Anong akala niya sa'kin? Palamunin lang sa bahay at walang alam? "Of course, I love cooking" mapait kong sabi bago hinain sa lamesa ang niluto ko. I know he still had work so I cooked for him.Umakyat saglit si Cal
Patricia's POV "Ano? Ex fiance ni Callum yung model? Si Zara Banner?!" walang habas na sabi ni Jess habang nandito kami sa coffee shop. Hindi na muna ako dumiretso sa bahay namin ni Callum at inaya ko si Jess dito. Umiinit lang ang ulo ko kapag naaalala ang pakikitungo sa'kin ng guard doon sa kompanya.Napahiya ako. "Wow!" Jess gasped and looks surprised. "Grabe pasabog mo! Bakit ngayon mo lang sinabi?! At bakit hindi ka kilala ng guard?!" "I don't have i.d-" "Sana sinabi mong asawa ka ni Callum!" I shrugged. Ang kapal naman siguro ng mukha ko kung gagawin ko 'yon. "Hindi ka parin sanay? Mag asawa na kayo at tumitira na sa iisang bahay-" "We're just married in papers" I cut her off. "Kahit na! Kalaunan mag-iiba rin ang mararamdan niyo. Trust me" she even smiled proudly. That will never be happen... "So...how does it feel to see Callum's handsome face in the morning?" Umarko ang kilay ko. "You know what? You're nonsense-oh, wait!" I took my phone out and saw that Callu
