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 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 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 View We went back to the house, and I saw his parents sitting in the living room. “What happened, hija? Are you two okay?” Tito Carlo asked. “Okay lang ho,” I nodded and faked my smile at him. He looks genuinely concerned. “Is Caleb not treating you well?” He asked again. Tinignan ko naman si Caleb, at tinignan niya rin ako, pero una siyang nag-iwas ng tingin. “Of course, I treat my wife well.” I stifled my squirm when I felt his arm encircling my waist. Anong nakain ng taong ‘to?! Bakit biglang umamo at akala mo’y hindi na pumapatay ang tingin. Gago, ano raw? I treat my wife well? Wife, my ass. “We just wanted to make sure that the two of you are getting along now.” Tito Carlo said as he smiled at me. Caleb’s mother doesn’t look pleased with what she’s witnessing right now. I can still feel Caleb’s arms on my waist, so I secretly pinched his side, which made him let go of me. Hindi rin naman nagtagal ‘yung parents ni Caleb at umuwi na kaagad. Hinatid n

Akasia's Point Of ViewI hurriedly grabbed a piece of his necktie, slowly and carefully tying both of his feet. He looks peaceful while sleeping, mukhang hindi masama ang ugali.I proudly smiled and walked out of the room to prepare myself to go have some fun with Lucila. Lucila and I decided to take a deep rest and breathe after a long week of workdays. We want to try the newly opened restaurant downtown. I wore a simple dress and fixed my hair uptight. I grabbed my car keys and drove my car away. Gusto pa ni Lucila na sunduin ko siya dahil tinatamad daw siyang magmaneho. Wala naman na akong nagawa dahil naghihintay na raw siya sa labas ng bahay nila. Nag-drive-thru lang kami para sa breakfast dahil heavy ang kakainin namin mamaya sa lunch."Kamusta na kayo ni Caleb?" Tanong ni Lucila habang pumapasok sa kotse ko."Kakapasok mo pa lang gusto na kitang palabasin." Inis kong saad dito kaya naman natawa na lang siya at tumahimik.We played music and talked loudly because she kept tel
