The first date

The table went silent. No one attempts to speak, I can‘t stand it. It feels so awkward, the atmosphere here feels eerie. My head is full of questions right now. I just turned eighteen and I am already getting married? 

“I understand kung nabigla ka hija, we will give you time to think,“ aniya ni Mr. Wilson at sumubo ng piraso ng steak. 

“If she doesn't want to be my fiancé then it’s her loss, not mine,” he commented with his playful smile.

Sinaway siya ng kanyang mga magulang and my parents just laughed for what he said. They have a dry sense of humor, for sure. I am offended. That’s it.

“So when is the first date with my so called fiancé?” I asked, I made sure that I made an eye contact to him. 

Mrs. Wilson is about to speak but Shuhn cut her off. “Let the woman decide ma,” he interrupted. 

Napatangin sa akin lahat ng naka upo, now I am on the hot seat. He is good at reversing the situation.

“Next week, in the mansion. I would like to have a picnic date with him,” then I pointed at him 

He snorted before responding “Tss. Picnic date? Corny,” he complained and shook his head

My debut ended peacefully, well for some people it did. But I am tired and pissed at the same time. I am confused about the announcement. Planning my marriage, they can‘t even pay attention to me and give me love. 

Oh wait, if Shuhn is my fiancé, then if he‘ll develop feelings to me. He will surely love and treat me right! My dream, it is finally happening. I placed my chin in my hand looking like I am thinking. 

But with that guy? Mmmm.. I don‘t think so. He is so playful but hot at the same time. 

I remembered when he was drinking wine, the way his long fingers held the  glass, and how his adams apple moved made me giggle. Plus his kissable pink lips when he finished drinking, his clean cut hair, it suits him. He‘s so manly. I squealed. 

I shrug my thoughts about him, no, no, this is wrong. But he is my fiance right? Dumbass. I almost jumped when Mom suddenly speak.

“Rhiedly? Ang lalim ng iniisip mo. Do you have a problem? Is it about your marriage?” she asked with a worried face.

“Ah, wala naman po Mom. It‘s just that, I have a few questions to ask, I can‘t answer it. So, I am hoping that you can,” I give her an assuring smile and tried to convince her that I am fine. 

“I may not know some answers to your questions dear, but Mommy will do her best,” she insisted, she gave me a comforting look. 

“Mom, how would I know the difference between admiration and love?” I wondered, napaisip ako sa ganoong bagay. Gusto ko malaman ang kaibahan. 

“Why, do you like someone? I hope not, unless its Shuhn. Admiration is admiring that person’s looks or attitude. Like you feel attracted to him. While love, you will love the person because of what that person is. You don‘t love him because of a certain reason, but you love him as himself,” she answered, then she gave me a sweet smile after answering it

I smiled bitterly, I'm confused about how I feel for him. I keep on reminiscing his gestures and himself. 

I am still in the process of admiring Shuhn, I will make sure he will fall in love with me. I won‘t waste this chance, if he is the answer to my prayers. Then I will win him. 

Days passed by, my date with my fiancé has come. They will arrive at two o‘clock in the afternoon, so I prepared in advance. I am wearing a floral low cut square neck doll dress and matched it with a white head band. I curled my long brown hair and put a bit of make up to make my face lively. Then a pair of pink doll shoes and a spray of vanilla scent perfume to my neck and wrists, and done!

Pagkatapos ko mag ayos ay ang pagdating ng mga Wilson. I welcomed them with a sweet smile and lead them to our garden. Our mansion is big enough for a park at the back of our house. Everything is prepared. 

Shuhn sat on the blanket and I watch him arrange the foods that they bring. I squat in front of him, smiling widely. I can‘t help it, and I don‘t know why.

When he‘s already done preparing the food, I pick up a spoon and scoop a right amount of Tiramisu and feed it to him. At first he refused, but he has no choice but to get along with it. 

“Stop feeding me, I can do it on my own! Don't you dare touch me woman!" he complained then he just shove away the spoon. 

“Ano ba! Pwede naman na sabihan mo ako ng maayos, iyong kalmado, ayan tuloy nahulog,” I yelled, I'm pissed. 

“Hey, look at me. I don't want you and your sweet acts in front of our family. When they're not around we can do anything we want as if we're not engaged," he explained, and touched my cheek making me look at his face. 

His black t-shirt made his muscles more defined, in any angle he looks good. His fair skin, black slacks and white rubber shoes made him look simple yet manly. His scent, it's so addicting. I'm screaming inside, he's giving me butterflies in the stomach. 

The more he complains, demand, and ignore me, the more I fall for him. 

“Here, it‘s Cesar salad,” I said with my monotone voice, I handed it to him, while I grab the fork and mixed two viands of vegetable from the salad

He grab the fork and threw it away. What the hell! Now I am fuming mad, hindi lang pala pihikan at mahangin si Shuhn, wala rin pa lang manners sa pagkain.

He stood up and was about to walk away "Ah right, I forgot to tell you. I have girlfriends. I will never like a girl like you. You're not even close to my ideal type," he said with a threatening voice while glaring at me. 

I was about to speak but he walked fast, completely ignoring me. My heart hurts, I sobbed. How dare he do this to me. Girlfriends? So he has a lot of girls. I wiped my tears and comforted myself. I won't give up. 

Our first date didn't went well,  nalaman ng mga magulang niya ang nangyari at pinagalitan siya. Good for him. 

Before the Wilson‘s left our mansion. Shuhn and I agreed that our next date will be in a beach resort. I have a plan  mind that will surely make him moved and amazed. I hope its enough for him to notice me even if I  don't fit to his standards. don'standards.

    The painful goodbye "Rhiedly, kung nababasa mo ito ngayon ay wala na kami ng Daddy mo. Gusto kong humingi ng tawad sa mga sikreto na hindi namin ma sabi sa iyo. Humihingi kami ng tawad dahil pinagmukha ka naming walang alam sa mga bagay na dapat sinabi namin sa iyo. Sana ay maayos ang lagay mo at nasa mabuting pag alaga ka ni Shawn, patawarin mo kami dahil hindi namin nasabi at naging makasarili kami, pero ginawa lang namin ang sa tingin namin na mas makakabuti sa iyo. Ngayon na magiging ina ka na, ay maiintindihan mo kami sa mga desisyon at mga gawain namin. Sana ay hindi mo malimutan ang mga gabay at paraan ng pagpapalaki namin sa iyo. Huwag ka sana panghinaan ng loob kung naiisip mo na wala na kami sa tabi mo, ngunit gamitin mo ito upang tumatag ka at magsimula ng bagong kabanata sa buhay mo kasama si Shawn. Wala man kami sa tabi mo, ngunit mananatili kaming nasa puso mo at laging naka antabay sa iyo.&nb

    Parted ways Shuhn's Point of View I haven't seen Rhiedly for months already, I don't have any idea why she left. Kahit tawag o text ay wala. Hindi na siya nagparamdam. Nawala ng parang bula. Katulad din pala siya ni Therisa, bigla nalang mawawala. Hinding-hindi ko na siya tatanggapin kapag bumalik pa siya, kakalimutan ko na siya dahil si Therisa naman talaga ang mahal ko. "Daddy!" Tori called my name while running. Nang malapit na siya sa akin ay kinarga ko siya at niyakap nang mahigpit. Siya namang pag dating ni Therisa, hinalikan ko siya sa labi at noo. Ngumiti siya at pinunasan ang pawis sa noo ko. Tori teased us for being sweet. "Thank you," Therisa said. "What for?" I asked rising a brow. "For the dates and for taking care of us," she replied. "Therisa," saad ko at hinawakan ang kamay niya. She looked at me frown

    Final decisions Rhiedly's Point of View "I'm choosing you," Shuhn said. Napatakip ako sa aking bibig dahil sa sinabi niya. Bakit siya pumipili? Para saan? Tumingin ako sa kaliwa at kanan kung sino ang tinutukoy niya. Kumunot ang noo ko dahil hindi ko maintindihan kung ano ang ibig sabihin niya. My face is clueless from everything. I struggled more when he didn't respond. "What do you mean?" Therisa asked Shuhn. I keep myself hiding in the bushes to hear their conversation. I badly want to show myself and confront him by myself. Kakauwi ko pa lang galing sa hospital para kanselahin ang appointment sa treatments. "I'm choosing you over Rhiedly," he added. His words repeatedly echoing in my mind. Napatulala ako dahil doon, nanlabo ang mga mata ko dahil sa luha. Agad ko itong pinunasan at mas hinigpitan ang pag takip sa bibig ko. Kaunti nala

    My ex and future wife Rayne's Point of View "We should tell her," I said and glanced at Seventh. "Not yet, it's too fast. We're not sure if she's really our daughter," he argue. "The letter, her arrival, our gut feeling. Lahat ng iyon tugma!" I yelled. Kinuha ko ang papel at pinakita sa kaniya. "Nabasa mo rin ito hindi ba?" I asked and stomped my feet. "Yes," he respond habang naka yuko. "Then why?" I questioned, while frowning to him. He should be excited about the news! "Duda ako Rayne," he answered. I stared at him for a minute, silence filled the room. Hindi ako makapaniwala, after decades may pag asa pa pala na buhay ang anak namin. "She's our daughter!" sigaw ko. I walked out of the room, why can't he just agree? Ayaw niya ata na makita ang anak namin. Sabagay, si Shuhn naman talaga ang paborito niya. Parehong pareho sila mag

    Back from the past Rayne's Point of View "Hon, let's go?" Seven asked. I nodded as a response, I got inside the car and sit at the front seat. "Where should we go first? Should we visit Shuhn?" he questioned. "Yes hon, let's go there. I want to see Rhiedly too, napaka gaan ng loob ko sa kaniya," I confirmed. "Ako rin hon, parang kay Shuhn lang ano? Parang tunay na anak na ang turing natin sa kaniya," he commented. "She's our soon to be daughter in law, she surely is part of the family," I added. He was about to speak nang napahinto siya dahil may mga bombero at ambulansya ang sunod-sunod na dumaan. Wala kaming choice kundi ang huminto at tumabi sa daan. Flashback "My baby! Where's my baby?" I asked while panicking. Pinuntahan ko ang isang bombero at tinignan ang baby

    The agreementI still can't believe what I've witnessed earlier. I thought I was dreaming but I wasn't! He's already married? Is she his ex? May anak na sila? Hindi ko na alam! Nakakalito, sobra akong nasaktan sa narinig ko."Rhiedly, my family," he confessed.Nasa isip ko na naman. Kanina ko pa gusto mawala ang mga katagang iyon sa isip ko ngunit bumabalik pa rin. At tuwing naririnig ko iyon, naiiyak na naman ako.His voice echoes in my head, his confession is just too much to handle. I feel dead inside. It's tearing me apart. Sobrang sakit, hindi ko matanggap. Dapat ako 'yon eh. Bakit pa siya bumalik.I sobbed, hindi ako maka paniwala, did he cheated? I guess not, malaki na ang bata kaya sigurado na hindi pa kami engaged ng mga panahong iyon. Maybe one of his so called girls before. Pinunasan ko ang luha ko nang may kumatok sa pintuan ko."Love, let me in. Please,
