Chapter 2

Xavien Kash's POV

She says no. Why did you do this to me Nyla? I love you. Handa na akong magpatali sayo at mahalin ka habang buhay. Pero what have you done? You just wasted our 3 long years together. 

  

Oo masakit pero wala naman akong magagawa don.    

   

   

I gave everything to her. Pero sinayang niya lang.   

   

   

Well, it's her choice.    

   

   

I won't beg!   

   

   

Ever!   

   

   

Wala sa forte ko yang bagay na yan. At kung, inaakala niya na susundan ko siya don sa Australia, nagkakamali ulit siya.   

   

   

I have a life!   

   

   

Hindi lang sa kanya umiikot ang buhay ko. She just proves last night that I am not her priority.   

   

   

"Iho, are you even listening to what your father has been talking about?" -untag ni mommy sa akin.   

   

   

Were here in dad's office. Kinakausap nila ako about don sa provisionary relationship na papasukin namin pareho ni Shannica. Hindi na lingid sa aking kaalaman na matagal na nilang gustong magkadevelopan kami ni Shannica. 

   

   

Well, she's my bestfriend since childhood.    

   

   

My parents and Shan's parents are business partners as well as friends since college days pa lang nila.   

   

   

And both of our mothers came with an idea na kapag nagkaanak na sila dapat isa sa kanilang mga anak ang makasal sa isa't-isa.    

   

   

I find it lame! Sino pa ba ang gumawa-gawa ng mga bagay na yan.    

   

   

Pero, hindi naman din nagalit si dad at mom nung dinala ko dito si Nyla noon at ipinakilala as my girlfriend. Kahit nakita ko yung disappointment sa look ni mommy, tinanggap naman nila ng maayos si Nyla. Alam din ni Nyla ang bagay na ito kasi sinabihan ko na naman siya about don. And they can't do anything about it since I can't control my feelings. 

   

   

Well, she doesn't say anything nung sinabi ko yun sa kanya. Alam naman kasi niya noon na siya yung mahal ko at hindi ko siya ipagpapalit kahit kanino.   

   

   

True!   

   

   

I never ever cheated on her; kahit na girls are hovering all over me. I'm faithful to her. Kaya nag-init ang ulo kung nong sinabi niyang I am controlling her life and much more, nasasakal na daw siya.   

   

   

"Son?" -untag ulit sa akin ni mommy nung hindi ko sila sinagot. Both of them are looking at me expectantly.    

   

   

So it's either I say no mukhang hindi naman nila tatanggapin yun eh. And frankly speaking I find the idea interesting.    

   

   

Kapag iniisip ko pa nga lang, nai-imagine ko na yung magiging set-up namin.   

   

   

Shannica is such a nice person. She's also naive that's why I kinda find it cool.    

   

   

Halos kasi ng mga babae ngayon, masyadong liberated na, gaya na lang ni Nyla.    

   

   

"Does Shannica know about this?" -tanong ko sa kanila na ang tinutukoy ay about dun sa proviosionary relationship namin.   

   

   

"Actually son, kasalukuyan din siyang kinakausap ng mga parents niya ngayon. I hope you could really consider this. Hindi naman kasi namin talaga kayo pinipilit. Just try." -pang-per-persuade na sabi sa akin ni mommy.   

   

   

I don't see any reasons naman din not to say no. First of all, wala na naman din akong girlfriend.   

   

   

The one that I'll be fighting for already left me. So what's the use?   

   

   

"Fine. I'll try. But if it will not work, you'll going to set both of us free from this kind of situation." -wala na naman din akong magagawa.    

   

   

Maybe,    

   

   

Just maybe, she will be the one!
