Marrying My Father Mga Nobela at Kwento

Nginitian ko lang siya tsaka ko inabot sa kanya ang bouquet na hawak ko. Hinila ko rin siya palabas ng church tsaka ko ipinasara ang pinto. “M-Mari, what’s this—” “Today is your wedding day, Mama. So, stop crying. Ayokong harapin mo ang daddy ko nang hindi ka presentable.” nakangiti kong saad sa kanya. “H-Ha? T-This is supposed to be your and SJ’s wedding. Hindi ako—”

"YOU HAVE to marry my daughter, Fifth, as soon as possible." Tila nabingi siya sa sinabing iyon ng ama ni Eunice. Given the fact that he was expecting it to happen. Kasi naman, nabuntis niya lang naman daw ang kaisa-isa nilang anak. E, kahit sa panaginip ay hindi niya nga matandaan kung paano siya naging ama nang dinadala nito.

Kinagat niya ang pang-ibabang labi. “Ayos lang, hindi mo naman kasalanan. Matagal na yun,” pagsasawalang bahalang sabi ni Sarah. “Inalagaan ako ni Aunt Isobel matapos niyang mamatay. Nagtatrabaho sa ibang bansa si Papa kaya hindi niya ako maalagaan. Muli siyang nag-asawa noong fifteen na ako. Sa abroad sila nakatira.” Saglit silang nabalot ng katahimikan bago muling bumaling si Sarah sa kanya.

"What do you think, Dad?" Halos isang metro na lang ang pagitan namin habang nakasandal siya sa lamesa. "Forgive me, Alice. I think I'm a bad father for you. I'm sorry if I will use you for our company. But I promise you, if you marry the heir of Valerco family, you will not be mistaken. He will take care of you, guide you. He is—" "That's not the point. I'm still young. I'm just 20 years old, Dad. I know you know how much I want to achieve my dream but, you still force me to that f*cking marriage," saying those words without looking at him.

bumaba na ako ng sasakyan at dire-diretsong pumasok sa loob ng building. "Come on, Matilda Jayde. Hindi naman kita ipapakasal sa kung sino-sino lang. The man you are marrying has a place in my heart as well. I watched that kid grow until he is what he is right now. You'll be damn glad to marry him." Napataas ang kilay ko, "Marriage for convenience? What the hell, Dad?" Tumayo siya at hinawakan ako sa magkabilang balikat, "This is for the company, Love."

"Kung malaman ng inyong asawa, tiyak na aawayin niya kayo." "Ito ang perang kinita ni ko. May karapatan si Dad na ibigay ito kanino man, at walang makakapigil dito." Pagkatapos magsalita ng kanyang ama, iniabot niya ang card sa kanya, "Kunin mo." Malalim ang pagmamahal ng ama.

Nang makalabas ako ng building ay agad ako pinagbuksan ng driver ni dad at pumasok na ako sa kotse kung nasan si dad. "Akala ko hindi ka na lalabas e." my dad chuckled. "I have my own car, need ba talaga na magkasama tayo pupunta don?" kunwaring iritang sabi ko kay Dad. "Ofcourse, Mr. Nihaka is my longtime friend and a bussiness partner. I want you to meet his son, we're arranging your marriage as soon as possible." Masayang sabi nito. How can i marry someone that i never met? well that's how bussiness run.

galit na sambit ni Daddy. Hindi ako makatingin sa kanya. His eyes were dangerous. Nakakatakot dahil pakiramdam ko may gagawin siyang hindi maganda. "I said you will marry John Meyer, that's final," sobrang diin na sambit ni Dad. Gusto kong sumagot at tumanggi pero sa pagkakataong 'to ay pinili kong tumahimik. But one thing that I am sure of is I will not marry the guy they want for me. Not anyone but my baby's father.

"I will give you everything you like from now on, just remember to behave yourself at maging masunurin. At isa pa, sa pinakaayaw ko, after dumping my nephew, don't think of any other man, or else I will break your legs." "Huh! No! Wala naman akong ibang lalaking iniisip, saka about Richard, hindi ko naman talaga siya nagustuhan. Hindi naman talaga ako papayag magpakasal sa kanya noon kung hindi lang sa gusto kong maging masunurin kina papa." "Oh! And from now on, ako na lang ang susundin mo. I will deal with your adopted parents so you don't need to please them anymore."

Hindi ako pinapansin. Eventually, Dad stopped bringing it up. Until one night, I overheard them–Dad and Mom–talking in the living room. About the company. About how everything he worked so hard to build was crumbling. And for the first time in my life, I saw my father cry. He sobbed like he'd lost everything. Like someone had died, and I can't bear seeing him like that. That night, I made my decision. I would marry Caleb Leander Vasquez.
