(con. of I Meant It When I Said “I do.” Chapter 1 part 3) Kita niya ang pagtaas-baba ng dibdib nito. He’s angry and she knew it. At hindi na siya takot na harapin ang galit nito. “Let me tell you something Veronica.” anitong tumayo at hinarap siya. “You do not decide what I have to do. I’ll do whatever I want to at wala akong obligasyon sa’yo. We know what kind this marriage is. It’s not what you think it is. So stop acting and stop playing your part, it will save you more energy. And in case you don’t know, our company is going to struggle once we start the merging with yours. That’s why I need to work hard.” “Then let me tell you something too,” nanginginig ang labing sabi niya’t inilapit ang mukha sa kaharap at mataman itong tinitigan. Gusto niyang sampalin ito ngunit nakuyom lang niya ng mariin ang kamay. She knew she’d cry in a moment. Ngunit hindi sa harapan nito! “This marriage isn’t also what you think it is. I am marrying you because of my Dad and your Dad’s request. Don’t think of yourself as our last resort because clearly, it’s not…” “…Yes, our company isn’t stable as for the moment but you should remember, it is not your company alone that wants to save us. There’re a lot more out there. We are still assets, Earl.” Mapait siyang ngumiti. “It’s your choice. If you can’t play your part, then tell them you can’t marry me. I am in here not because I have no choice but because I chose to choose what I think is best. Even if you have to be in the package.” Napabuntong-hininga siya. “I hope it’s clear enough. It’s all up to you now.” “If I had any choice at all, we wouldn’t be in this.” Matiim siyang tinitigan nito. “You knew how I hated you… You knew that you will be the last person I would want to marry. In fact, I never want to see you again. But here you are… and here we are. I don’t have much choice, do I?” Tila hindi makapaniwalang napatitig si Veronica sa binata. Pinigilan niya ang pagbalong ng luha. Ngunit nangingilid na iyon sa mga mata niya. Ngumiti siya ng mapakla. Tumingala siya upang hindi mahulog ang kanina pang nagbabantang luha. She’s expecting this, doesn’t she? She even thought of the worst things Earl might say. Pero bakit ganito na lang ang sakit na nararamdaman niya? “You can back out…” aniya bago pa pumiyok ang boses. “Yeah, of course I can. And live on the streets,” nakapamulsang sabi nito. “My Dad is actually wiser than I thought. He just revised his will. Wala akong makukuha kahit na katiting na mana unless I marry you. So don’t put the heavy load on me. Because I’m a bit loaded than you think.”
