Respectfully Yours

Chapter 5

Anikka

From: Mama

I don't forget to go to our hotel this afternoon. You will meet your fiancee and please dress properly,

huwag kang magdamit manang mamaya.

Tamad kong binaba ang phone sa tabi ko. Ayoko pa rin bumangon at ituloy na lang ang tulog ko.

Ayokong pumunta doon. I don’t want to meet that man, because it feels like I am step ahead away from

my freedom once I met him. Feeling ko hindi ko siya magugustuhan. Kahapon pa yun nangyari, pero

hanggang ngayon hindi pa rin ako makapaniwala.

In just one night, I am getting married to someone I don’t idea who is. Tapos wala akong choice kundi

pumayag. I never imagine myself na mapapasok sa isang arranged marriage, siyempre pangarap ko

rin naman na makasal sa lalaking mahal ko at mahal din ako. Yung masasabing kong, aking the one

and only.

I don’t know when I will find my ideal man, mabait, matalino, maalaga, consistent, hindi yung sa una

lang sweet, yung talagang faithful siya sa’yo. Pero nowadays, those men just exist in books and in

telenovelas, hindi na sila totoo, panay mga manloloko at sa itsura tumitingin.

Nawalan na rin akong ganang pumasok sa law school dahil sigurado ako na walang maasorb yung

utak ko dahil lutang na lutang ako ngayon. There are calls from my friends at hanggang ngayon hindi

ko pa rin sinasagot.

My life will be miserable anyways.

"Senyorita gayak na po kayo at ipinatatawag na po kayo ng mama niyo."

I sighed. Ayoko siyang makita, dahil maisip ko pa lang siya alam ko na magiging miserable na ako

ngayon. I don’t want to be judgemental naman kasi hindi ko pa nakikita ang tao, pero ayoko ng

ganitong set-up. Binding two people doesn’t love each other will not work. Napilitan na akong

bumagon, kaysa naman abutin ako ng sermon ni Mama at ayoko pang maistress si Lolo

Lukas

"Prepare yourself apo, mamaya mamamanhikan na tayo." Wala akong gana na bumangon sa

hinihigaan ko. Ang bilis nga ng mga pangyayari, kahapon nalaman ko na engaged kami, tapos ngayon

mamamanhikan naman na and what's for tomorrow? Our wedding day? Just damn it!

Ayoko pang makasal pwede? Pero wala akong choice. Sobrang nakakainis. I really get rid of this!

Siguraduhin nilang magugustuhan ko ang babae. Well if she can satisfy me, medyo pagbibigyan ko na.

Nag-ayos muna kami, lolo told me to wear my most beautiful suit to impress them. For me, hindi na

kailangan sapat na siguro alam nila na isa ako sa mga tinitingalang engineer sa Pilipinas, bilyonaryo at

isang tagapagmana, Also this handsome face will be enough to die for. I am a man that any woman will

want. Hindi ko kailangan ng mga kung ano ano pa.

I am the great Lukas Angelo Aragon at yang mga babaeng iyan ang lalapit sa akin, hindi ako.

After that we went to a five star hotel, which is owned by Juan Fuentes, Lolo's bestfriend. Natigilan ako

ng makita ang isang pamilyar na kotse malapit sa parking lot.

I still remember how exactly it look like, that blue car. Ang kotse na tumagis sa sportscar ko! Malamang

nandito ang babae na iyon. Once I see her, humanda siya sa akin. I still can’t ride that car up to this

point!

Her family greeted us as we arrived.

“Juan, Miranda and Eduard, this is my apo, Lukas.” I smiled at them saka nagmano sa kanila.

“Lukas Aragon, finally I met you. I heard a lot about your projects and your work. You are a great

engineer.” Eduard Fuentes said, and tapped my shoulder.

“Thank you po.”

“You are perfect to my daughter Lukas, she is our future lawyer, a good one.” Miranda Fuentes. I know

her, she is a former beauty queen. That gave me a sense of relief, sigurado maganda ang anak nila. I

can already imagine her figure, not her face yet. Also, they said she is also a future lawyer. Beauty with

brains huh. I am sure I am going to like that girl. Thank God that woman is decent enough for my type.

Still It does not mean, I’ll just stick to her, it is too boring.

"She's on her way na daw." Kanina pa namin siya hinihintay dito, she's thirty minutes late. I understand

if kailangan niyang magpaganda sa akin. She must be, I also prepare for this, I make sure I look good

this day.

I am just plainly listening on their suggestions about their plan in the wedding. Parang sila ang may

kasal. Also, that is fine, I am not interested in setting it up, besides the brides are the one who fixes the

wedding.

I can only imagine her that she will jump to my bed, kissing me passionately and my hands will roam all

over her body, and we fuck all night.

Oh crap! Stop thinking green Lukas!

"She's here na." Agad ako napatingin sa tinuturo ni Mrs. Fuentes.

I just can’t believe what I saw. Thank heavens! She's freaking hot! How lucky I am, she is so perfect! I

felt that my member instanly hardened. I will get laid this night.

Gustong gusto ko na siyang sunggaban, I wan't to make her mine right now. Bakit ko pa pakakawalan

ang mga sexy na katulad niya.

To my dismay, mayroong yumakap sa kanyang matandang lalaki, na mukhang kaedaran pa ng lolo ko,

then he even kiss her on the lips?! Oh crap! What kind of girl is that? a prostitute? Yuck! Hindi na ako

papatol diyan. Siguradong nangangamoy lupa na rin yung babaeng yan. That goodness it is not her.

"Mama!"

Humarap kaagad ako sa pinangalingan ng boses. Siya na siguro iyon.

Halos manlumo ako sa nakita. You got to be kidding me. I blinked twice, pakiramdam ko

namamalikmata lang ako. Siya ang tumagis nang sasakyan ko. I wont marrying that woman, kahit

magkamatayan pa kami ng lolo.

Not this girl please.

She now ears long sleeve blouse and a vey long skirt, na halos sayad na sa floor and her hair is so

messy. Malayo sa suot niya kahapon, it covers her body well. I just remembered her legs. Dammit! I

just recognized that nerdy glasess. Her presence now annoys me. I want to run away right now and I

don’t care what Lolo Hernan will say.

Tignan mo naman siyang manang, she looks like older than her mom. Tss...Not my typical girl. Kaya ba

ipapaksal sa akin ito dahil wala ng pumapatol na lalaki sa kanya at sa akin na ngayon lumalapit? Ano

sila sinuswerte at sa akin pa sila lumalapit?

But inferness, she has a very gorgeous body, large breast, butt. I can really see her curves. I really

want to touch it. Pwede nang pagtiyagaan.

And that very innocent face..I bet virgin yan.

Oh Crap! Stop thinking green again Lukas! Nasa harap ka ng pamilya nila, behave.

"Lukas, meet my grandaughter, Anika." Nakipagshakehands ako sa kanya. Grabe, nanginginig siya.

Ganyan ba ang epekto ko sa kanya? Ok I understand na madalang lang may lumapit na guwapong

lalaki sa kanya.

"Let's have a seat." Paanyaya ni Lolo Hernan. Ako na ang humila sa upuan niya, but she insist, binawi

niya yung upuan sa akin. Tsss.Pakipot pa, alam ko rin naman na gusto niya ako.

"So kailan ang kasal?" Tanong ni Lolo.

"As soon as posible kumpadre." Nabilaukan na naman si Anikka, actually kanina pa siya nabibilaukan

kapag pinaguusapan namin ang tungkol sa kasal, tapos hindi siya mapakali. I can’t blame her. Some

girls act like that so I am used to it.

When with her, hindi naman masyadong nakakairita. I actually found it cute Paano kaya kapag

tinanggal ang glasses niya. Is she beautiful kaya?

I guess so.

Hindi ko namalayan na napatagal ang titig ko sa kanya, at siya? Nakatingin ng masama sa akin.

Anikka.

No way! Hindi ako maaring magkamali, siya yung kaskasero na manyak kagabi. I know he is annoyed

by my presence dahil sa ginawa ko sa sasakyan niya. He deserves that! I just hate it that I am shaking.

Sino ba ang hindi manginginig sa takot? Kung halis tignan ka niya ay para ka niyang hinuhubaran at

hanggang ngayon nakatingin pa rin siya sa dibdib ko. Naka damit manang na nga ako eh,

pinagnanasaan pa ako. Manyak talaga. Paano kapag naikasal kami? I can’t bear thinking it! I can’tExclusive © material by Nô(/v)elDrama.Org.

spend a night or just a moment with this guy! Mas gugustuhin ko pang mamatay na virgin kaysa

makasal kami

"Uy, mukhang nagkakamabutihan kayo diyan mga apo."

Nagkakamabutihan? Really? Wala nga kong makitang mabuti sa lalaki sa ito. Yes, he’s handsome, but

he can’t deceive me with his face. I know his motives and dirty tactics. Huwag ako please.

Lolo Juan, ask me to have a seat. Lukas offered a seat beside him, binawi ko ang upuan sa kanya at

saka ako umupo. I don’t need his pakitang-tao act. Yuck!

I don’t know how long I can bear this, his presence. What a great coincidence na siya pala ang

pakakasalan ko. I silently count up to three to calm me at bit. Sige I’ll behave this time at makikisama.

Pero sa susunod, di na to mauulit, I will cancel this arrangement and I know Lolo Juan will understand

at hindi niya ako matitiis.

“Which do you want Anikka a beach wedding or church?” Mama asked.

“It is better on church Miranda, Gusto ko sa altar mismo ihahatid ang anak natin. Anikka, you want

that?” Tumango lang ako.

“Also, we will ask Mak Tumang to design your gown anak.”

“Bahala ka Mama, You know the best.”

They are talking about the marriage. I am just nodding. Sila na bahala, I am not interested anyways. I

just act like listening to them, kahit wala akong maintindihan. Then this Lukas, he is starting to freak me

out. para siyang papatay na tao.Pero this time sa mukha ko na siya nakatingin, hay! Mabuti naman at

kung hindi maglalakas loob akong kutusan siya kahit sa harap nila mama..

Well even if he did nothing. Talagang makukutusan ko siya. I hate his face. Mukha siyang kabayo.

Masyadong gwapong-gwapo sa sarili nakakainis. Tingin niya magkakandarapa ako sa kanya. Huwag

ako!

Never will happen that I will marry this guy. I can’t think how miserable the household will be. I hate him

so much and I will just hate him more!

I am really hoping that all of this are nightmares and I am just in my long sleep. I can’t accept my reality

now. It is my freedom and my future at the stake!

Pumayag-payag ka pa kasi, kahit kailan ang tanga tanga mo Anikka! Ang dami namang paraan para

pasiyahin ang lolo mo diba?
