Marrying My Father Novels & Stories

Basta na lamang akong tumayo at iniwan sila, narinig ko ang pagtawag ni Mommy ngunit 'di ko na sila nilingon pang muli at basta ko na lamang nilisan ang opisina ni Daddy. I never changed. I became worse. Siguro nagsawa na kasisita ang mga magulang ko sa akin kaya hinayaan na lamang nila ako. Until my graduation came. Daddy announced that I was already in an arranged marriage with one of the sons of his business associates.

My father said, glaring at me. Huminga ako nang malalim bago magpatuloy. Some eyes are at us now. My family really have a habit getting attention from other people. "Father, I said that I accepted Lolo's request. But I never said that I will marry Dion. I don't want to marry a man I don't love and who will only cheat on me. A playboy like him will only ruin our family's name."

Daddy on the other hand, spoke with so much authority. “Just get on with what you want to say dahil iuuwi ko na ang anak ko.” Mariin akong napapikit dahil sa sinambit ni Daddy. Sabi ko na nga ba, eh. “D-Dad–!” “Your daughter and I wanted to get married again, Sir, Ma'am.” Hala!

“Oh, I damn sure I'm not Yuri. It was already settled, pupunta sila dito next month." “No Papa! I won't marry unless its love. Whatever your reasons, please don't drag me to this bull shit! I rather die than marry a random guy." I said angrily. “You will do as I wish Yuri, you will marry my bestfriend's son, or I will disown you and forget that you existed”my father shouted angrily at me making me trembled with fears. “No I won't Papa, disown me if you must, but I will never mary for convenience. Have you forgetting something Papa, I'm your daughter, your flesh and blood? I am not a thing that you could sell or trade.” I cried.

I made myself sound encouraging dahil naninibago talaga ako sa kanya. “It’s just my father,” sabi niya sabay yuko. “What about him?” “He wants me to marry someone I don’t know.” Oops! Mahirap nga iyon. Dapat pala ay hindi ko na pinilit. “You’re still in college, you still have a lot of time to talk to him. He may understand when you tell him your reason for opposing his decision.” “It was a marriage for convenience and that’s what I hate the most. I want to be with the woman I love. You know, even if I don’t look like it. I’m a hopeless romantic.”

Ako ang may kasalanan kaya wala akong karapatan magreklamo at kuwestyunin ang ginagawa niya ngayon. Nasasaktan ako pero alam ko na noong nalaman niya ang totoo ay mas sobra siyang nasaktan. Tumingin ako sa aking ama. "You said that the man I was going to marry was Rozzean Cyron Valleje. I am sure about that, Daddy..." Tumango ang Daddy at pagkatapos ay muling humigop sa kaniyang kape. I am here because I wanted to make things right, I am hoping that my father will listen to me.

"Bakit? Naguguluhan po ako. Bakit naghahanap kayo ng babaeng pakakasalan? At ako... bakit ako? Alam n'yo naman po ang gulo ng buhay ko." "My father wants me to marry the daughter of his business partner. I don't want to marry her." Walang bahid ng pagbibiro ang mukha niya. To be honest, I've never seen him this serious before. "Pero assistant n'yo lang ho ako, Sir Isaac." "Yes, but I like you."

He will surely blame me for not inserting any effort into finding someone. Buti sana kung madali, but we are talking about marriage here. Actually getting married to someone, a whole human-being. Ilang gabi na rin akong hindi makatulog ng maayos dahil sa totoo lang ay hindi pa ako handang isuko ang pagka binata ko. But then, every time I close my eyes, I see my father's face. Then the next thing I know is that I can hear her voice continuously pushing me to be decent and marry a woman.

"And how am I going to do that, Dad?" Huminga ng malalim si Rodolfo bago muling nagsalita. "Marry Benedict Cervantes." Umawang ang kanyang mga labi sa kanyang narinig. She never expected to hear those words especially coming from her father. Akala niya ay ang kanyang ina lang ang may nais na mapalapit siya kay Benedict. Now it turns out, pati ang Daddy niya iyon din ang nais. Or she could say that it's much more worse? Her mother said she should say yes when Benedict courts her but her father wanted her to marry Benedict?!

Xian Ong’s POV “I said NO, Dad! And I mean it!” I stood my ground unshaken, fists clenched tight at my sides, every word bursting out louder and firmer than before. “Hinding‑hindi ako papayag! I will never just sign my life away like it’s nothing—marry a stranger you picked out just to seal some business alliance or keep our fortune intact? That is not marriage… that is a transaction! And I am not your property to be traded off however you please!” hindi ko mapigilan na hindi sumagot at ilabas ang nararamdaman ko. That was unfair. Yung mga kapatid ko, sila yung pumili ng mapapangasawa nila. Yung babaeng mahal nila ang pinakasalan nila tapos ako, ano? magpapakasal sa babaeng pinili ng daddy h
