of love and lies
Maymay is an orphan heiress but is a simple girl at heart.
She needs to find a husband who will protect her family's fortune since it is her grandfather's will
Edward is a rich heir who needs to find a wife of equal stature to avo...
That night, after dinner, Edward asked Maymay if they could talk.
"Dun na lang tayo sa terrace like the last time?"
"Ah...sure!"
"Let's go?"
Pagkarating sa terrace ay nagtanong na agad ang dalaga.
Sobrang kinakabahan kasi sya sa kung ano man ang pag-uusapan nila ng binata.
"Ano bang pag-uusapan natin Edward?"
"I don't know how to say this but...."
"Ano yun?"
"Remember the last time we talked about why I pretended to be a driver?"
"Yes? What about it?"
"I told you that I was looking for a potential wife remember?"
"Ye..s?" nauutal na sagot ni Maymay.
Dumoble yung kabang nararamdaman nya.
"What I didn't tell you was that he threatened me that I will lose my inheritance if I don't do what he says and all of my inheritance will go to my cousin!"
"What!!!" hindi makapaniwalang tanong ni Maymay.
Parang gusto nyang maiyak sa narinig.
"So, are you trying to tell me that you only courted me because you didn't want to lose your inheritance?" pigil ang emosyon na tanong nya sa binata.
"No. What I'm trying to say is that I am willing to lose my inheritance for you! I already talked to lolo and he confessed that he just threatened to disinherit me because he thought that I didn't have plans of settling down." parang nakahinga ng maluwag ang binata pagkatapos aminin iyon sa dalaga.
Nanatiling tahimik si Maymay.
"Please say something, Yamyam!" at hinawakan nya ang kamay ng dalaga.
"Can I make a confession too?" tanong nito sa binata.
Tumango lang si Edward.
"My lolo also wants me to find a husband before my 24th birthday, and if I don't, I will lose the mansion and the plantation!" nahihiyang pag-amin nito sa binata.
"I know!"
"Paano mo nalaman?"
"Sinabi ng pinsan ko sa akin bago ako bumalik dito! So, ikaw naman ang tatanungin ko ngayon, kaya mo lang ba ako sinagot ay dahil doon?" paninigurado ng binata.
"Kung sasabihin ko bang hindi maniniwala ka ba sa akin?"
"Hindi!"
Nagulat si Maymay sa sagot ng binata.
"Ganun ba? Eh di wala na pala tayong dapat pag-usapan pa! Tutal naman hindi ka naniniwalang mahal kita!" at akmang tatalikod na ito sa binata.
Dali-daling pinigilan sya ng binata at niyakap.

"Eto naman hindi na mabiro! Syempre sa iyo ako mas naniniwala! Alam ko naman na gusto lang lasunin ni Markus yung isip ko!" paglalambing nito sa dalaga.
"Wag mo akong mabiro-biro dyan Edward John Barber! Seryoso ako sa'yo! When I say yes to a person it means that I want him for a lifetime!"
"At ganun din ako sa'yo Mary Dale Entrata! Habambuhay!"
