Lahat ng Kabanata ng Ruled by the Blaze ( The Unwanted Marriage ): Kabanata 11 - Kabanata 20

Patricia's POV "You need to live with him..." My tongue stocked because of mom's words. I looked at her while holding my tears. "Why do I have to, mom? I did what you wanted! I married him!" nagitla siya sa reaksyon ko. Siguro naman ay may karapatan akong mag reklamo. I married Callum for our company. I don't love him so why the hell do I have to live in the same house with him?! "I noticed that Mrs. Velasquez is a bit strict. You are both married and it's common for the both of you to live in the same house-" "Mom, this is not what you promised.." my voice shuttered as my tears began to rolled down. Sobrang sakit. Ipinamimigay na ba nila ako? Are they satisfied because our company is back to normal again? "P-Patricia, I know..but, Callum's parents was asking about it" her voice trembled, she was about to approach me but I avoided her. I wiped away my tears. Kinuha ko ang isang folder na ibibigay sana sakin ni mommy kanina. Binuklat ko iyon at mas lalo akong nanghin

Patricia's POV I always tell myself that I'll just enjoy my life once I am become successful, when I get what I want and reach my dream but I don't expect that I'll experience first to take my responsibilities as a wife before finishing my studies. "What are you doing? You're too early" napaigtad ako sa pag sulpot ng boses ni Callum. Lumingon ako at nakita ang inaantok pa niya'ng mukha. "Obviously cooking" I replied before flipping the egg in the pan. It's another stressful morning. Hindi ako masyadong nakatulog dito dahil naninibago ako. I'm not comfortable with the new environment here especially that I'm with him. Naisipan kong magluto na lang kahit sobrang aga pa dahil hindi na rin naman ako makatulog. "Oh, you know how to cook" he sounds amaze. Napatigil ako. Anong akala niya sa'kin? Palamunin lang sa bahay at walang alam? "Of course, I love cooking" mapait kong sabi bago hinain sa lamesa ang niluto ko. I know he still had work so I cooked for him.Umakyat saglit si Cal

Patricia's POV Everything seems so fast. My everyday routine was just so plain and only filled with thrill when I was about to go to school and when Callum and I talked. I'm still not comfortable with him around me. It's so hard for me to deal with our situation every time we ate together and had dinner also with our families. Akala ko ganoon na lang ang sitwasyon ko. Akala ko mahirap na 'yon pero may mas ikakahirap pa pala. Hindi naging madali sakin ang mag-aral sa med school kahit na pangarap ko 'yon. I was judged by the students. Some was thinking of me as a user and others seems doesn't care but I don't care about them either. Parang paulit ulit lang ang nangyayari sakin. When I come home from school, I will avoid Callum. I avoid talking too much since we're both busy and we don't talk that much. Sometimes, he's insisting to take me to school or maybe pick me up but I don't agree because I don't want students to talk about us anymore but today is an exception... "Oh! Ayan na a

Patricia's POV "Where have you been?" Iyon ang salubong sa'kin ni Callum ng bumalik ako sa table namin galing sa banyo. He was in the usual blank expression unlike earlier who was smiling while talking to Zara. "Sa comfort room lang" sagot ko. I just stared at the desserts in front of me and chose to just drink some water. I lost my appetite. I also saw mommy who was already at their table and eating. The noise around got louder because of the whispers and laughter of the guests. Callum is busy on his phone now and I'm just playing with the spoon in my hand while waiting for the party to end. "Are you okay?" I looked up to Callum. "Yeah.." "Do you want some-" "Nah, this will do" I said and showed him the desserts and drinks I hadn’t touched yet. I was silent and looking around but I could still feel Callum's gaze on me. That makes me more concious and restless in my seat. I can see him in my peripheral vision. He's not taking off his eyes on me. "Have you tried their o

Patricia's POV "Could you please informed me? Your mom told me that you weren't at their home so I was worried" Callum's serious voice echoed in the living room. I didn't answer. Nanatili akong nakayuko at kinakalikot ang mga daliri ko. I never thought he would talk to me in such serious way. "Nanibago lang ako dahil hindi kita nadatnan dito. You had my number so I hope that you just called or texted me" Hindi ko na napigilan ang sarili ko at sumagot na ako sa kanya. "I'm safe, okay? Nakatulog ako sa condo ni Jess at hindi ko namalayan ang oras" He's too talkative today, huh. I just got home late! Pero kapag siya naman ang gabi na umuuwi ay wala akong sinasabi. "But a guy answered my call earlier. Are you letting someone else hold your phone?" may pag-aakusa sa tono niya. "Sinagot ni Tyrone ang tawag dahil natutulog ako-" "Oh yeah, Tyrone is the name. Next time don't do that again" bumuntong hininga siya. "You may now rest" Napaismid na lang ako sa pagsusungit niya. Tinal
