CHINKY's POV
I'M FLUSTERED, my God! I'm going to call Nanay right now, to let her know that we will be visiting her tomorrow--for a very big confession. My heart is beating so fast, I'm having a tachycardia right now! Maybe she might be angry with me for the rest of her life. I even promised her that I would take her out of poverty!
I feel like crying again, I really don't want to get married yet! Did Grandma met a Genie and wished for me and her grandson to get married? Argh!
Now I can't go back out because there was something really happened with me and my Devil Boss! What will I do? I started dialing Nanay's number.
I smiled when i heard Nanay's cute ringback tone, Chinito by Yeng Constantino, both of us are Yengster. So you can't blame me for having the same ringback tone. Ha-ha! I want to finish that ringback when Nanay answers the other line.
"Oh! Chinky, my darling! How are you? Why did you call? Any problem?" Nanay asked.
I smiled when I heard her soprano kind of voice with soothing effect on me. She asked if I have a problem, couldn't she think that I just called her because I miss her not because I have a problem? LOL. But honestly, I called because there was really a problem!
"Ahm, ah, `Nay, ahm—"
I didn't know how to start. I'm scared! Even if I already finished school and was in the legal age to get married, it was still not right for me to suddenly get married.
"What is it, darling? Come on, tell me, tell me!" she said.
Nanay really has a sense of humor and I would laugh at her for trying hard to speak with british accent, but I have a big problem right now.
"Don't be surprised, okay?" I said.
Argh! I might just die. Hu-hu! They might collapse when they hear my confession and I don't like Nanay being hospitalized. S-O-S!
"Okay, sure! What is it? Come on!"
"Take a deep breath first." I said, to prepare herself for the surprise I was going to announce.
I heard her sighed but still, I don't feel like saying it. I'm going crazy!
"Darling, what do you want to tell me?" She said.
I feel like my tongue retreat suddenly, but no, I must say this or I'll be really dead.
"I'm going back to the province tomorrow with my Boss and his Grandmother, don't get shock but something "tooooot" happened to me and my Boss and his Grandmother wanted us to get married, sooner." I said unstoppably. Yes! I did it.
"What? I didn't hear what you said because it's loud here at market, darling." Nanay said, shrugging my shoulders.
I thought I can sigh with relief but they didn't hear it. Dung! I breathe in and out first and I repeated everything I said. It's good that they finally heard it but—
"What? You are getting married?" She asked angrily and with the highest pitch ever, if you just measured it, the sound meter would surely explode.
I swallowed hard, I was starting to feel anxious because I could feel my mother's anger. I knew she would be angry and maybe anytime doon she could transform into a super saiyan blue. My goodness!
"What did you do, Chinky? I thought you were different from your mischievous sisters? Darling, you are too young to get married— "
I bit my lower lip. Hu-hu! I know. "`Nay, calm first!" I paused for a moment at Nanay's silence. When she started to talk, it was hard to cease her. "You need to get to know him and his grandma first, tomorrow we'll be there."
"What? And why are they in such a hurry to get married? Are you pregnant? "
"No, ahm," I can't explain. "I'm sorry, I failed you." I apologize. I took a deep breath, and I sighed. I was crying, just mixed emotions.
"I will interrogate that bastard from head to toe, tomorrow. He must prepare himself! Grrrr! "Mom said angrily before ending our conversation.
Nanay is a freak when it comes to us. Just like the times she found out that one of my sisters were pregnant, Nanay almost chased my brother-in-law, but the good thing was that eventually everything went well. My ate now has one child. And they were all happy to be home together.
CHRYSLER's POV
HAAAY! I sighed again and again for the hundredth times. I am in the office right now, but unable to work because of the amount of stress I am experiencing.
I never imagined that the woman whom i made love last night was Chinky, because all I thought was Angela. Damn it! My head hurts so much and I wonder how I can handle it now?
I don't know what to do! I don't even love Chinky, but something big happened to us that night!
What if she got pregnant? I hit my forehead. I left the office to go to Starbucks, but as soon as I left the office, I saw her again!
Argh! And she just ignored me?! The thickness of her bangs and face! But i also ignored her. She brew a coffee for her friends but I would never let her do my coffee, what if she put poison in it? Tsk!
I remember that nightmare again. Damn! I'm really going to marry her! What about Angela? I love her! Then tomorrow, we will be going to Chinky's place to visit her family and talk about the wedding. Ouch!
Wait! What if I suddenly go abroad to avoid the supplication? Argh! As if Grandma would allow that to happen, for sure she's updated with what i'm doing!
CHINKY's POV
We traveled for four hours from Manila to Pangasinan. My butt felt numb for the duration of the trip. We got to our place after lunch time. As soon as we entered the house, I immediately felt the black aura surrounding the whole house. Terrible and obnoxious.
I glanced at Nanay's whereabouts, but her furious facial expression made me gasp. It seemed scary to kiss and show the honoring gesture, but I still came to hug and kiss her cheek. She is still mum.
"How are you, `Nay?" I greeted. She just nodded.
My sisters and my brothers-in-law were also there, just smiling a bit at me. I swallowed hard. I'm still nervous. Why are they quiet? I am not used to it.
"Ahm, `Nay, I'm with Chrysler my Boss and Grandma Yna, his grandma." I said.
Nanay was holding a knife because she was scooping a fish. I got a goosey feeling, maybe because she might chase Chrys with a knife, scary.
"Good day, my beautiful in law!" Grandma Yna greeted Nanay.
Nanay just nodded to Grandma and walked over to her. Nanay first handed her knife to Josephine, then walked over to Chrys, who was behind Grandma. Chrys's face suddenly turned pale when he saw Nanay approaching him, I smiled secretly because I just saw how anxious he were, but I wasn't in the mood to laugh.
"Are you my son's Boss?" Nanay asked.
I was surprised when Nanay faced Manong driver and confronted him. Awtsu~! Nanay is talking to Grandma's driver and what she thinks is my Boss! Because Manong driver and Chrys were a few inches apart.
"`Nay, wait, he's not the Boss I was—"
"Stop it!" she interrupted me, then looked at me with frustrations. So I quickly shut my mouth.
"Are you my daughter's boss?" Mom grabbed Manong driver's collar. He seemed like he is about to die because of Nanay's intimidating super power.
"I-I'm not her—"
"Be quiet!!" Nanay stopped the driver from speaking. "I'm not done talking yet. How could you do that to my youngest? How could you have done such a thing to my precious angel?" Nanay said. We were all surprised when Nanay slapped Manong Driver's cheek.
It seemed like the driver is about to cry as his whole body trembled in shock. "I-I am not your daughter's Boss, ma'am!" The driver couldn't help but cry.
And Nanay gave him again a couple slap. Ouch! Nanay didn't want anyone to feel like being bullied, but because Manong Driver's voice raised, so she slapped him again.
"`Nay, he's not my Boss—"
"Darling, I can't accept him as your future husband! Even though he's your boss and he's rich, your life will not be good with him. He is an ABS-CBN."
"ABS-CBN?" We asked in unison.
"Yes! Because he loves; Alak, Babae, Sugal, Cabaret and he also look like Bulangero and Nambubugbog!"
What? I couldn't stop laughing. "`Nay, he's not—"
"I'm Chrysler Prime Cruise, ma'am, Chinky's Boss." Chrys interrupted me from talking, he look with a very serious face.
Nanay's eyes widened and suddenly they glittered like stars in heaven. Wait, she didn't notice Chrys a while ago?
"You're my darling's Boss?" Nanay asked with half smile, Chrys nodded quickly. "Then, who was that man?" Pointed to the driver.
"I'm Carlito, their family driver." Manong carlito replied, still holding both slapped cheeks.
"Ouch! Is that so? Oh, I'm so sorry, I thought you were the one who will marry my precious angel, but—" Nanay approached Chrysler and took his hands. "But this handsome young man nailed it! Yes, I will agree to that marriage!" Said Nanay with a glittered eyes and a wide smile.
The wind seemed to suddenly change. What was that super happy aura? Did Nanay got affected with my boss' devilish charm? Oh no!
And so unfair because my brothers-in-law, took about a week before she accepted them as son in-law, but Chrys had only minutes.
"Oh, get married right away before your baby's belly is up." Nanay said.
Marriage? I thought they didn't like it and I was too young for it. What was that sudden change of mind? I couldn't interrupt when Grandma Yna was already talking to Nanay. They seem to get along very quickly, as the two of them laugh at each other and like they've been friends for a long time. I shook my head.
Yeah, I'm getting married and there's nothing I can do. How I wished to be sucked by a blackhole at this very moment. I can't think of anything! While Nanay and Grandma were talking, Chrys suddenly came up to them.
"Excuse me .." he grabs the attention of the elderly. "I'm sorry to say this, but I think I can't marry her!" He said to everyone's surprise. "If she gets pregnant because of my actions, I'm responsible for her but I can't marry her. I will support her and let her live in my house, but sorry I can't really marry—" Nanay threw a loud slap at Chrys' smooth and handsome face that surprised everyone.
"How could you say those things in front of me and your Grandma?" Nanay said angrily. Chrys shut his eyes. "You are the only person who has not taken responsibility for my daughter. Her sisters were also got pregnant, these men were poorer than rats, but they were not as coward as you."
"`Nay..." i tried to stop her.
"Yes, we are poor, but I was proud of my family and my children because they were growing up with a loving heart, kind and responsible people." Nanay continued, so we were all quiet. I also cried because I was touched by what she was saying. "But if you can't marry and love her, you can leave! We can raise the child— "
"I disagree!" Grandma Yna interrupted. Then she turned to his Grandson. "How could you say those things to Chinky? I thought you were a responsible man? Don't you respect me anymore? And how about your parents' dignity? Our clan? We were known to be a responsible and humble family, how could you do this?" Said Grandma. Then Grandma suddenly hold of her chest. She seemed to be having a heart attacked, so her grandson quickly grabbed her to support her.
"Grandma..."
"Don't touch me!" Cried by Grandma. "I'd rather die than I can't see my great grandson-to-be without a father!" she said dramatically.
Wait, I'm not pregnant yet, so why are the scenes so dramatic?
"Grandma..." Chrys said sadly.
"Don't call me Grandma, I'm not your Grandma anymore! Get out!"
Chrys took a deep breath. "Fine!" He said later on. "I will marry her!"
We were all shocked and still couldn't believe it because we heard him say it. Grandma Yna suddenly turned to me and then winked. I was devastated. What was that? Ah wait .. Did she just pretended to be having a heart attack? I face palm. Grandma's drama will definitely win her as the best actress. I shook my head.
"Good! I forgive you, grandson! You need to get married to Chinky tomorrow! The sooner the better. "Grandma said to Chrys, i think he had not guessed that Grandma was just acting a while ago. Haaay Grandma, how can you be so cute?
CHRYSLERS's POV
I sighed. I had suddenly lost power and unluckily, I'm getting married to the woman whom I never dreamed of becoming part of my life. She's not even my ideal girl.
I just broke my heart the other day when Angela said the postponement of her vacation and the next day — I'm getting married. Life is indeed complicated and very unpredictable.
