Bar Itu Apa

Para masalba ang kompanya ng kanyang ama, napilitan si Bianca na pakasalan si Lucien Hoffman—isang ruthless at disabled na lalaki.

Nang magtagpo ang kanilang landas, malamig na sinabi ni Lucien kay Bianca, "I will never love you or sleep with you. To me, you're nothing but a contracted wife." Ngunit dumating ang araw na hindi na niya magawang sundin ang nakasaad sa kontrata. Malumanay niyang sinabi, "I don't know, but I lose my mind when you're not here with me. Now, I’ll treat you as my wife. I will love you and… make love to you.” Umiling si Bianca. “It's a breach of contract! Do you know you'll have to pay for it?” Ngumiti si Lucien. “I can pay for that breach of contract even multiple times, as long as you'll be mine." Ngunit paano kung ang kontratang nagbuklod sa kanila ay siya ring maging dahilan para magkalayo sila?

Sypnosis Mula pagkabata, hindi na naranasan ni Venisse ang init ng tunay na pamilya. Sa murang edad, natutunan niyang tumayong mag-isa—kahit pa ibig sabihin niyon ay isakripisyo ang sariling pangarap. Sa edad na 23, isang hindi inaasahang pagbubuntis ang tuluyang gumiba sa plano niyang buhay. Unti-unting nawala ang pag-asa. Araw-gabi siyang kumakayod—kahit anong trabaho, mapasukan lang. Para sa gamot, check-up, at isang kinabukasang hindi pa sigurado. Hanggang sa dumating ang panahong wala na siyang pagpipilian. Pumasok siya bilang GRO sa isang kilalang bar—isang trabahong kailanma’y hindi niya inakalang papasukin. Sa bawat ngiti at aliw sa mayayamang bisita, pinipilit niyang itago ang lungkot at takot sa likod ng mata. At doon sila nagtagpo—ni Dr. Kurt Navarro. Isang gabi, isang emergency.

At sa gitna ng kaguluhan, may inalok si Kurt. Isang kasunduan. Anim na buwang kasal. Walang emosyon. Walang label. Puro papel at pirma. Kapalit: kaligtasan ng anak niya. Pero paano kung habang lumilipas ang bawat araw, unti-unting lumambot ang pusong matagal nang pinatigas ng sakit? Paano kung sa likod ng kontrata, unti-unti niyang nararamdaman ang bagay na hindi kasama sa usapan? Pag-ibig. Isang kasunduan. Isang kasinungalingan. Isang pusong unti-unting bumibigay. Pero sa dulo ng anim na buwan… pipirma ba sila para sa wakas? O para sa panibagong simula?

The Shermans are the richest family in town, and both of the Sherman daughters are about to get married on the same day. I, the older of the two sisters, am about to marry Andrew Hammond, a wealthy scion and the man I've loved for many years now. Meanwhile, my younger sister, Celine Sherman, is set to marry the heir of the Wright family. The upcoming wedding fills me with joy and anticipation, but suddenly, Andrew disappears for three whole days. When I go to confront him about it, I end up overhearing a conversation between him and his friends. "On the wedding day in three days, you guys must ensure that the wedding cars are switched, so that it's Celine's car that comes to the Sherman residence instead. "That illegitimate son of the Wright family is a cold, heartless man. I can't let Celine suffer by marrying him!" "Relax," one of his friends replies. "We've made all the arrangements with the drivers and everything. But what about Joanna?" Brimming with confidence, Andrew declares, "The Sherman family has the Wright family's business by the throat, and everyone knows that Joanna is mine. There's no way the Wright family would dare to do anything to her. "When the time comes, I'll send Celine off and bring Joanna back for the wedding ceremony. I'm sure the Wrights won't dare to say a single word." The initial shock leaves me on the verge of a breakdown, but eventually, it morphs into the stillness of despair. In the end, I decide to go along with the plan, letting Andrew and Celine get their happy ending. Thus, when Andrew proceeds with the next part of his plan and arrives to pick me up, all he's greeted with is the sight of my cold dead body.
