Selene goes to the accounting office while thinking about what excuses she made to let her take the exams without paying her tuition. Her friends suggest that she should write a promise sorry note to give to the accounting office. When she got in front of the accounting office she takes her pen and a piece of paper. She wrote her promise sorry note and she feels so helpless... She never does this before because her family can afford her tuition fees but because her dad's company went bankrupt it change her life upside down...
She wants to finish her studies so she determines to go to school even they don't have money to pay the bills. She works multiple jobs just to fill her school's needs and plan to help her father to build his company back when she graduates.
She's done writing and she takes a deep breath before going inside of the office.
"Good morning Ma'am"
As she approached the strict-looking old lady which is the accounting officer.
She's got nervous when the madam looks at her...
"What is it?"
"T-This"
She gives the letter while her hands shaking...
The madam takes this letter and reads it.
"Miss Fernandez, I can't let you take your exam if you don't pay at the end of the month. You already a senior and I don't care what circumstances you have. I thought you have a job why can't you pay? "
She can't answer that question because she knows that whatever reason she will give, the old lady in front of her will only say no.
She bites her lips out of frustration.
"Take this letter and come back if you have the money."
She takes the letter and leaves.
She let out a deep sigh. She thought that maybe she should sell her kidney or what just to pay the bills. Her thought cut off when her phone rings. She looks at it and her dad was calling...
She answered it.
"Hello, Dad?"
"Honey, I have something to tell you, come home right now."
End of call... She frowned.
"What's happening why dad sounds excited. Wait? Is there something good that happened?"
She smiled and take the earliest bus that she could take.
@house
When got inside their house, she saw her parents have a wide smile and a stranger who is in the mid-'50s.
"Uhm... Hello?"
Her dad and mom approached her with a wide smile...
"Selene!!! Good News!!! You getting married!"
And her parents hug her.
"What the hell? Mom! Dad! What are you saying about getting married?!"
She's panicked 'cause first of all, she doesn't have a boyfriend, and second why the heck she's getting married wherein she needs to pay her bills!!!
The stranger approaches her and gives her a card.
"I am Charles Dizon, secretary of Mr. Baron Aguantar. He wishes you to marry his grandson Lucas Aguantar. "
"WHAT?!"
"She gladly accepts it."
"MOM!"
"Honey look, if you get married your life will be ensured. You can help me and your Dad..."
"Your mother is right, you can stop working now... We just want you to have a better life, Selene... We were sorry because we are unable to give you that."
"Dad! Mom! I'm okay... I don't need to get married and Mom, Dad! I never meet this man, what if-"
She is cut off by Mr. Dizon.
"Miss, I guarantee you that our boss is a good man... Though he is a little cold and insensitive, all in all, he's a good man"
Because of what she heard she's more worried about it...
"So all in all, she's a jerk?" is what she thought..
"When is the meeting of the future married couple?"
"We will contact you... But before that Sir Baron wants to meet Miss Selene."
And after all the talks it decided that she will get married at the end of the month....
She screams inside of her...
"FUCCCCCCKKKKKKK"
