“Okay, dear, please don’t hold it against us if we kept this from you. And about what you hear from our neighbors, just ignore them. You know we have no one else to rely on but you. I hope your sending us allowance when you return to Dubai won’t be affected by what happened.” (Papa said to me gently.) “You know, right?! Charlotte won’t be able to work right after she graduates because she’s going to give birth. Michael is also about to board a ship, and before he leaves, your Mama and I are asking you to cover our expenses and also for your sister’s check-up since you’re the one who has the means right now. They will pay you back once they’re financially stable!” Papa said calmly. I didn’t respond. I didn’t want to speak because I was afraid of what might come out of my mouth. I thought to myself, they’ve already treated me like a fool, and now I’m supposed to take on their obligations. I was really at a loss for words. No matter how much I wanted to explode, it wouldn’t change an

KATE POVAFTER A WEEKWhen I got to my room, first thing is did is that I update my Mom that I had arrived at our flat. I didn’t expect them to reply right away since it was also my sister’s wedding to Michael on this day. To reverse my mind from thinking, I occupied myself by cleaning my room, rearranging the furniture to attract good luck in my life. Once I finished, I started dividing the souvenirs I brought for my friends and colleagues here in Dubai.The truth is, I was really trying to avoid my cell phone today; I didn’t want to see what was happening in the Philippines. No matter what anyone says, I would still feel hurt seeing my sister marry my ex-fiancé. Even though I blocked Michael and Charlotte , I am sure that my Mom or any of our neighbors would post updates about the wedding. I also told Nikka and my younger sibling not to inform me about the wedding.As I was unpacking my suitcase to organize the souveni

JAMES’ POVFor months, my mom had been relentlessly nagging me to agree to the arranged marriage with Scarlette. No matter how firmly I opposed their wishes, I felt powerless due to the gravity of my past mistakes. One reason I didn’t want to marry Scarlette was that I couldn’t see myself being intimate with her; since day one, I had treated her like a younger sister. With a five-year age gap, she felt far too young for me, and I knew I couldn’t deceive her because I understood myself—I wasn’t capable of being serious with one woman.The complication was that Scarlette’s parents were close friends with my dad. She was often at our house during family casino, where we all grew up playing together in our garden with other childhood friends.Despite my objections, Mom persisted in wanting me to marry Scarlette, especially since I hadn’t introduced any other woman to them yet. They took it upon themselves to decide who I should marry. I could easily agree and just negotiate with Scarlette

“CONGRATULATIONS!” Alexander shouted loudly.“Wohoooo, this calls for a celebration!” Daniel said, waving a bottle of wine he was holding. They were all laughing and teasing me. It seems I did something foolish this time.“Bro, congratulations to you! Hahaha!” William chimed in. From their smiles, I could tell they weren’t joking. There was something behind each of their grins.“Hahaha, come on bro, you didn’t even invite us to your wedding! So unfair, I thought we were friends?! Why did you go solo?” David added and laughed“This is what the fortune said, so what now, bro? You can’t see Ms. Monday, you’ve got bitterness with Ms. Tuesday, and what about Ms. Wednesday? Does that mean Ms. Thursday and Ms. Friday are gone too?” Seb teased me.I felt weirded out by my friends’ comments. “What do you mean?! What nonsense are you talking about? You guys just brought me here to tease me!” I replied.“Bro, we’re the ones you didn’t invite when you got married. Hahaha! The question now is, who

“But please don’t tell Kate about my visit here. I know she will get mad,” he said. “Okay, no problem. I know Kate,” I replied. “Bro, I gotta go ahead; I need to catch my flight. Ma’am, I will go now if you don’t mind!” he said to us. “Okay, that’s so sweet of you,” I responded. I wasn’t sure if I was saying the right thing; I only heard it in movies. I chuckled to myself a bit. “Once you graduate, George, let me know, and I will help you get into the army if you want?” he said again to George. “Thanks, man!” George replied briefly. “Oh, you see, he’s even offering to help you join the army. At least you have backup. Many are eager to get in there,” I told George. I saw him shaking his head. “Okay, Ma’am, I really have to go. Hope I can come b
