Ruled by the Blaze ( The Unwanted Marriage ) Special Chapter
CALLUM’S POV “How’s life of being a married man again?” I sip to my coffee before looking at Austine in front of me. “I can’t explain the feeling, Austine…” I answered. “Still reminiscing how we started,” It’s been what? A year now, since Patricia and I got married. Our relationship flowed so well. I’m still managing the company while Patricia is on her clinic. Ngayon, nagulat ako sa biglaang pag bisita ni Austine at kapatid kong si Ram sa’kin. Narito kami sa garden. Patricia was not at home, she was just going out to buy something. Austine is sharing some of his and Jess misunderstanding. “She’s asking for a break up?” I asked in surprise. “Why?” Lumihis ng tingin si Austine. “She wants to settle down already and you know I’m still not ready…” Natahimik kami Ram. Kaibigan ko siya at mahalaga si Jess kay Pat, hindi magandang mag hiwalay sila. “Bakit ba hindi ka pa ready?” ani Ram. “You two not getting younger anymore. Syempre, naiinggit ‘yon at naiisip na magpakasal-“ “Ayaw

Patricia's POV "I'm getting married? There's no way, mommy!" Naibato ko ang mga folders sa loob ng office ni mommy sa sobrang galit ko. Kakauwi ko lang galing school at tinawagan niya ako para dumiretso rito sa office niya para sabihin ang hindi kapani-paniwalang bagay na ipapakasal nila ako! "Honey, we will benefit from it-" "Our company will benefit! That's what you should say!" hindi ko mapigilan mapasigaw dahil sa katwiran niya. "I'm too young to get married and I'm still studying! How about my dreams?" "Patricia, calm down" she uttered and fix those folders that I throw earlier. "I know that you're still studying but we can keep it as a secret for the mean time, for your friends not to find it out. Hindi magiging sagabal ang kasal sa pangarap mo" "Really? You're really saying that as if marriage is just a easy thing, mom?" umupo ako sa swivel chair at hinilot ang sintido. Lalong sumasakit ang ulo ko. "I c-can't understand...we still have our company-" "Our company is failin

Patricia's POV Days and weeks pass by so fast. It's Monday again and I'm back at school. "Patriciaaa!" Nag echo sa hallway ang sigaw ni Kelvin, my other friend. Nakakahiya. Kulang na lang ay panlisikan ko siya ng mata habang tumatawa papalapit sakin. Sinalubong niya ako ng yakap. "Kanina pa kita hinihintay!" malandi niyang sabi. "Bakit, feeling mo ba ang lapit lang nitong building natin?" Dumiretso kami sa lovers lane since maaga pa naman, dito muna kami tatambay. "Spill it!" maloko siyang ngumisi sakin. "Nasabi sakin ni Jess ang tungkol sa kasal-" Tinakpan ko ang bibig niya dahil baka may makarinig. Talagang walang preno ang bibig ni Jess. "Totoo nga? Silence means yes!" Umirap ako kaya tumawa ulit siya. Ano pa bang choice ko? Maya-maya pa ay agad rin dumating si Jess kasama si Tyrone, isa pa naming kaibigan. Kaya pinaliwanag ko na sa kanila lahat. "The life of being rich, arrange marriage is just normal" komento ni kelvin. "Wala ka na talagang choice. Pero hindi pa ako han

Patricia's POV "Where's my keys!" Narito kami sa parking ng school at handa ng umuwi pero hindi ko mahanap ang susi ng saskyan ko. I was busy finding it in my bag when I felt Jess pinch my arm. I turned around and saw her pointing someone using her snout. Sinundan ko 'yon ng tingin at naaninag ko ang isang lalaking papalapit habang nakasuot ng engineering uniform. "Si Raven na naman?" ramdam ko ang pagod sa boses ni Jess. "Kukuloton ka na naman niya," Nang makalapit ay agad ngumiti si Raven ng makita ako at mas lumapit pa. "P-Patricia" usal niya habang nakangiti. Ngumiti rin ako at ramdam ko agad ang pag hawak ni Jess sa braso ko. Tila pinoprotektahan ako kay Raven. "Ano'ng pakay mo sa kaibigan ko, Raven?" diretsang tanong ni Jess kaya halos panlakihan ko siya ng mata. "Ah, I just want to ask Patricia.." he turned to me with shy smile. "Are you free today-" "Ay, bawal siya, e! Marami kaming pending activities ngayon sa major subject" sumabat na naman si Jess kaya hindi ko map

Patricia's POV "Ouch!!" Mabigat at umikirot na ulo ang bumungad sa umaga ko. Napapikit akong napahawak sa ulo ng muli itong kumirot ng umupo ako sa kama. Hindi ko alam kung paano ako nakauwi dahil naaalala ko lang ay nag iinuman kami nila Jess at Kelvin sa bar. Tinaggal ko ang kumot na nakabalot sa katawan ko at nakitang suot ko parin ang black dress na suot ko kagabi. Dali-dali akong pumunta sa banyo at halos manlaki ang mga mata ko ng makita ang itsura ko sa salamin. Magulong buhok, gusot na damit at make up na halos kumalat na sa mukha ko. Hell, what happened to me! I was almost sick of smelling the alcohol on my dress. "Paano ako nakauwi kagabi?" tinapik-tapik ko ang mukha ko. Kahit nagtataka ay nag hilamos at nag half bath parin ako para mawala ang amoy ng alak sa katawan. Nang matapos ay agad akong nag bihis ng simpleng shorts at white shirt bago lumabas ng kwarto. Natanaw ko agad ang kapatid kong si Jordan sa may sala, nakaupo at may binabasa. "Good morning!" nakangiting b

Patricia's POV It's monday morning again and it's also a tiring day for me. I felt so weak and drained. Ayaw ko ng mag tagal pa sa loob ng bahay kaya hindi na ako nag abala na mag breakfast at agad akong umalis. Dumiretso ako sa isang café malapit lang sa school, dito na muna ako dahil maaga pa. I ordered my favorite coffee and a slice of blue berry cheese cake, agad kong kinain 'yon. Inaliw ko ang sarili ko sa pag stalk sa mga Velasquez online at hindi naman ako binigo ng social media. How ironic that their family is so private but some people can even get access and information about them. It's also true that there's so many girls simping over Callum Velasquez. His pictures is all over online and it's crazy! I also checked their company background. I found out that they still had a lot of business. They owned a large and extensive farm and several hotels. Wow!While Callum is currently managing the Velasquez Industries and soon, Mr. Velasquez will transfer to him his position. The

Patricia's POV "You're all over the news!" I felt nothing but fear and embarrassment. Fear for the judgements that I'll receive and embarrassment because I know some people especially my schoolmates will think differently about why would I marry a rich man. Nilamon ako ng kaba ng bumungad ang iba't ibang usapin tungkol sakin dito sa school. "Have you tried to check online? The students are talking about the picture of you and Callum Velasquez at the restaurant last night! It's spreading!" Jess's alarmed and slightly frightened voice rang in my ears. Nasa bukana pa lang ako ng school ay sinalubong niya na agad ako. Dire-diretso akong lumakad at mailap ang mata sa paligid. Nag kalat ang mga estudyante at ramdam ko ang pag sunod sakin ng tingin ng iba, kahit na college o high school pa. Nakayuko ako habang nakahawak sa dulo ng aking bag habang si Jess ay hindi parin natigil sa pagsasalita. "Ikaw ang topic ng halos lahat sa department natin at halos buong college building na nga!" i

Patricia's POV "Siguro napilitan lang si Callum. He's single, tapos ngayon ay magpapakasal na? The girl was just using her!" Napairap ulit ako sa panibagong hate comment na binasa ni Jess. Nakasimangot siya habang abala sa cellphone. "Stop it, Jess. They're not worth our time" sabi ko bago isinara ang librong binabasa. Narito kami sa ilalim ng puno ng mahogany at nakatambay. Ilang minuto pa naman bago mag start ang next class namin kaya nag pahangin muna kami rito. "Alam mo kung kaharap ko lang ang nag comment nito, baka nasabunutan ko na!" galit na bulyaw ni Jess. "Ano naman ang masama kung ikasal si Callum? Porket gwapo? Bakit maganda naman ang kaibigan natin, ah! Matalino pa! Hindi na lugi si Callum!" Wow, nag buhat pa talaga ng bangko si Jess. "You know what, you and Callum should go out together!" suhestiyon ni Jess na inirapan ko lang. "Para naman mas makilala niyo ang isa't isa. You know...magiging mag-asawa na kayo" may munting kilig pa sa boses niya. "I don't like the

CALLUM’S POV“Finally, you got her again. We’re happy for you,”I smiled at Austine, who were my best man again beside me while we were waiting for the big and elegant door to open. I roamed my eyes around and can’t help but to smile seeing our families together.“Thank you, bro…” bumuga ako ng hangin at pinagdaop ang palad. “Kinakabahan ako,”Natawa si Austine. “Ngayon ka pa ba kakabahan? Totoo na ang nararamdaman niyo ngayon. Unlike on the first wedding, you two look so stiffed,”Yeah, I remember that. How the beautiful Patricia glared at me while we’re exchanging vows. How we pretend that we love each other but today? There’s no pretending anymore.Today is our wedding day. Today will be one of the best day of my life for sure.“Dalawang beses na kayo ikakasal,” biglang sabi ni Austine. “Ngayon, naiinggit na si Jess. Sana walang pangatlo, ha”“Why don’t you marry her, then?” I asked confused.I frowned when I saw a hesitation in his face. “Alam mo naman na hindi pa ako ready. My bu

CALLUM’S POV“Callum, I swear, this is a silly idea!”Hindi ko pinansin si Austine na nakasimangot sa tabi ko. Nandito kami ngayon sa parking malapit lang sa clinic ni Patricia.“Come on, go outside. Do it!” pag pilit ko kay Austine na lumabas ng sasakyan ko.I pointed to him Patricia’s car just in front of us.“Damn, bakit ba kasi ako sumama sayo!” he gasped dramatically. “I can’t believe you come up with this corny idea-““Just shut up and do my favor,”I pushed him until he opened the door irritatingly.“Sa lahat ng humihingi ng pabor, ikaw ang makapal ang mukha!” usal niya. “Fuck, I don’t know you anymore. Ganito ka pala ka-corny pagdating sa pag-ibig. You’re whipped!”Natawa ako dahil nakasimangot siya’ng lumapit sa sasakyan ni Patricia. Tumingin muna siya sa paligid bago binutas ang gulong ng sasakyan. I smiled secretly. Perfect!Austine is still frowning when he returns.“Damn, I’m done! Wag mo na ulit ako idadawit sa ganitong bagay!”I tapped his shoulder before he left me her

CALLUM’S POV“Callum, I’m really sorry. I didn’t want to make that happen…”Umalingawngaw ang pag iyak ni Zara habang nakayuko sa harap ko. I didn’t expect her to be my visitor this morning.“Patricia’s right, I was too desperate. To get you, to snatch you from her,” she continuously sobbed. “The loss of your child makes me so guilty to what I did. I can't sleep at the thought of you both grieving,”Nag tiim bagang ako habang pinanonood siya.“What will I do with your sorry if she leaves? She left me and you can’t do anything about it,” malamig kong sabi.I saw her shoulder shaking. Hindi ako naaawa sa kanya.“Why are you here, anyway?” I asked harshly. “I don’t want to see you! I fucking hate you, Zara!”“I’m here to apologize, C-Callum-““I don’t need that,”In the middle of crying, she took something from her bag. She’s trembling and handed it to me, I didn't accept it so she just put it on the table.It was the supposed evidence against the Mr. Laurier. The recordings and some pic

PATRICIA’S POV“Doc, ano po ang update kay Miss Bella? Banned na po siya rito di ‘ba?I nodded to Nurse Aubrey as I studied my patient's urine test results this morning.“Yeah, I’m sorry about last week. Nakita niyo pa,”Hindi ko masyadong iniisip si Bella dahil sabi ni Callum, si Mrs. Velasquez mismo ang kumausap dito para tigilan na kami.So far, my interactions with Callum was good. Last week, we go out for a dinner. He still gives me flowers, we even visited Agatha. What we’re doing are so far to what I was thinking before. Akala ko...hindi na ‘yon mauulit. Akala ko mananatili na lang kaming iwas sa isa’t isa.“Ayos lang, doc. Mukhang okay na kayo ng asawa niyo,”I smiled with her term. Hindi na ako sanay na kilalanin si Callum bilang asawa dahil ilang taon kaming nagkahiwalay. Pero ngayon, pinararamdam niya sa’kin lahat ng bagay na hindi ko naranasan dahil lumayo ako.He also went to our house and talked to my parents.He asked permission to pursue me again.

PATRICIA’S POVSeven years ago, I told myself to focus on my career, becoming a doctor. I thought it would be my priority through the years but when I came back here, a lot had changed.I can't understand myself anymore. I thought...I'll never feel anything for Callum. I just fooled myself.Ngayon, parang tanga ako’ng naghihintay ng pag punta niya rito sa clinic ko! I keep looking outside my office.“Patricia, stop it!” I whispered to myself.Pinilit kong mag focus sa trabaho. Ayaw kong maapektuhan ito ng mga iniisip ko. But minutes just passed, I just found myself staring at my phone and waiting for his reply, damn it!“Ano bang nangyayari sa’kin…” naguguluhan kong bulong.Tumayo ako at lumabas sa office.Natagpuan ko sila Nurse Aubrey na abala sa pag inject sa mga babies na kararating lang. Lihim pa ako’ng napasulyap sa labas ng clinic pero malinis doon.Bumuntong hininga ako bago nag asikaso sa ibang pasyente. Nakalimutan ko saglit ang iniisip. Natuwa ako sa mga batang paslit na pi

PATRICIA’S POV Hindi ko alam kung ano ang dapat kong gawin at unang isipin. Kung ang tungkol ba sa trabaho ko o ang mga bagay na ginagawa ni Callum ngayon. Pagkatapos niya’ng sabihin sa’kin ang chance na gusto niya, palagi na siya’ng dumadalaw sa clinic ko. Halos araw-araw. Sending me flowers and foods sometimes. But what gave me a strange feeling was the things he showed me. Pakiramdam ko, malapit na ako’ng mabaliw sa ginagawa niya. “Doc, may flowers po ulit para sa inyo!” Nakangiting tumakbo palapit sa’kin si Nurse Aubrey habang hawak ang isang boquet ng roses. Bumuntong hininga ako bago ito kinuha. “Grabe, absent nga siya ngayon pero may flowers parin!” kinikilig niya’ng usal. Napailing ako bago binuklat ang note sa flowers. To my doktora: I can’t see you now because of a sudden meeting but expect me tomorrow. My face flushed after reading that. What’s with the flowers though? Hindi ko na nga alam kung saan ko pa ilalagay ang mga bulaklak na ibinibigay niya sa’kin. Ang iba

PATRICIA’S POV My day didn’t go so well. Pumasok ako sa trabahong wala sa mood. Apektado parin ako sa nangyari samin kahapon ni Bella. I didn’t expect that to happen that way. I was so shocked. Bukod kay Zara noon, isa rin siya sa taong nagsabi sa’kin ng mga ganoong salita. Why do I feel that I’m the antagonist here? Kaya nga ako umalis dahil nasaktan ako, sinaktan nila ako. Pakiramdam ko ako lang ang sagabal sa kanila pero heto na naman. It's like I'm the reason between them again. Is Bella another version of Zara Banner? But some point, I realized something from what Bella said. Tama nga siguro siya na dapat hindi na ako bumalik, na ako lang ang gumugulo sa kanila but that’s not my intention. Should I gave her the satisfaction that she want? Para matapos na. Para hindi na ako masali sa kung ano’ng gulo tungkol kay Callum. Should I talk to him for our annulment? For them to be happy? I would gladly cooperate though. “Doktora…may bisita po kayo” I stopped writing the necessary

PATRICIA’S POV “I’m here for Doctor Jaime. Tell him it’s Doctor Clemente…”Ngumiti ako sa nurse bago siya may tinawagan. I'm here at Alvarez hospital owned by Jaime's family. Jaime message me to come here to talk about my concern. It’s really big here. Alam ko’y magagaling din ang mga doktor dito. It’s about my patient. Maliit lang ang clinic ko at kailangan ng malaking doktor na hahawak sa kanya. Naalaa ko si Jaime dahil sa ospital nila. “Akyat na lang po kayo roon sa office ni doc. Hintayin niyo na lang po siya roon dahil nasa emergency room pa…” saad ng nurse. “Thank you,” Ngumiti siya at hinagod ako mula ulo hanggang paa. Nagtataka ako’ng tumalikod sa kanya papunta sa elevator. May mali ba sa suot ko? I’m just wearing an off shoulder dress. Nakalugay lang din ang buhok ko.Hindi ko na lang ‘yon pinansin at pumunta na sa 5th floor. Nang makarating ako roon ay wala masyadong tao. Ilang nurses lang. Hinanap ko lang ang office ni Jaime at kumatok muna ako bago pumasok. Walang t
