Marry Your Daughter 소설 & 이야기

Dahil once na nasa kalahati na siya ng pagsasalita niya hindi na talaga siya titigil. "Please just go straight to the point." Pakiusap ko sa kanya. "You have to marry their only daughter and the heiress of the company. Maybelline Mia Park." hahaha.. Ang gandang biro nito. Kelan pa naging mapagbiro ang Mommy ko? haha. Ako? Magpapakasal? sa edad kong 'to magpapakasal na ako? Tapos kay Maybelline pa na gustong gusto siya ng kaibigan ko?

Hindi pwedeng maliitin ang girl instict nila. "Baby, go to your room and lock the door, don't open it until I say so," utos sa akin ni Roman, patuloy pa rin niya akong pinoprotektahan para hindi tamaan nang mabibigat na kamay ng kaniyang asawa. Tumango naman ako bilang tugon.

It's my only purpose as his daughter. "I want you to visit the Montefalco mansion before this week ends. Get close with the—" "Ayoko.", putol ko sa kanya. Nanginginig 'yung mga kamay ko sa pag-putol ko sa kanya, it's my first time doing that. Gulat siyang napatingin sa akin. "I'm not marrying that guy, Dad. I'm not marrying someone na hindi ko kilala." "That's why I told you to meet him diba? And you wasted your time playing around!", tumataas na boses niyang sabi sa akin.

Ipinunas ko pa ang kamay ko sa suot kong t-shirt bago abutin ang pakikipagkamay niya. "Yes, ma'am," tumango pa ako. Hindi ko rin akalain na muli siyang aapak dito sa bahay namin. "I'll get straight to the point. Do you want my daughter to marry someone else?" Kahit nakakatakot ang pagiging istrikta ng mukha niya ay nagawa ko pa ring tingnan siya ng diretso sa kanyang mga mata. "No, ma'am." "Good," aniya saka na tumayo.

mariin na pagtanggi ko. "Enough, third! Tandaan mo hindi ka malalagay sa sitwasyon na ito kung naging maingat ka. Pero dahil nandito na at may bunga na, marriage is your consequence." "Ayoko, daddy! Ayoko!"

wika ng ginang. "That won't happen." "Hija, how about you meet my son? Malay mo, magustuhan mo s'ya. Tanggap agad kitang maging daughter-in-law kahit matalas kang magsalita sa akin bilang mother-in-law mo. How about that?" "No chance at all, Ma'am." "Hija, just try to meet my son. Malay mo—" "I am not interested in any other man, only my man." "Paano kung lokohin ka ng lalaki mo ngayon?"

"Kagaya ng sinasabi ko, hindi pwede ang ganito. Kailangan mo siyang panagutan." "What?!" I asked, making sire that I heard it all right, because I have a feeling were this is all heading. "You should marry my daughter." My mother said firmly. "Mom!" "Mommy!" Sabay naming sigaw ni Kuya Demitri. Nagkatinginan kaming dalawa. Alam na namin to eh! It already happened between Kuya and Jules. I'm not falling for her trap!

sabi ko sa kaniya. "What is it?" "I want to get married here in Philippines." Ngumiti naman si Daddy sa 'kin. Wala ni isang bakas ng pagtanggi sa mukha niya. "If that's what my daughter wants, then it's fine with me."

Tumitig siya sa akin na parang gusto niya akong sapakin. “You don’t get it, Edmund,” mariin niyang sagot. “Our daughter is in love. Hindi mo ba naiintindihan iyon? She believes Darren will make her happy. And as parents, our job is to guide her, yes—but also to support her!” “Support? By letting her marry a man who clearly doesn’t love her the same way? That’s not support, Sonya. That’s negligence.”

Saka siya tumanaw sa malawak at luntiang hardin sa labas ng mansyon. “I want to formally ask for your daughter's hand in marriage, Dad. I want to marry her by next month. I know this is late, and we already have a family, but I want to give her everything she deserves. I want her to finally experience what it feels like to walk down the aisle in a beautiful wedding gown while looking at me," seryosong paliwanag ko, ibinubuhos ang lahat ng laman ng aking puso. Saka nagkaroon ng isang mahabang katahimikan sa pagitan naming dalawa. Ang hangin ay tila huminto sa pag-ihip, dahilan para mas lalo akong makaramdam ng matinding kaba sa aking dibdib.
