ARAB GUY (PART 2)

Hi. Update ko lang po about kay Arab Guy. I don’t know how to start this, but this week, nakumbinsi niya ako na iharap sa parents niya although they know me naman but we never meet each other pa.

Before that day sabi niya sa ‘kin, once na hindi umayon ‘yung maging resulta, buo na desisyon niya na aalis na lang kami.

So, Wednesday, February 1, pumunta kami sa kanila, nakausap ko parents niya which is napakaswerte ko na kasi wala silang sinabi na masama unlike sa iba, ni hindi man lang madala sa bahay, he’s with his father and he left me with his mom so the conversation goes like this.

His mom: “You know, he told everyone in our family how much he loves you, that he wanted to marry you, you know you’re such a pretty girl and thank you for loving my son, thank you because he told us that you’re getting mad once he spends a single dirhams for you and for that, I really know that you love him and you’re here not only for our family’s money.”

“To be honest, we want you to be a part of our family but please understand that culture is culture and traditions are traditions. He needs to be loyal to his family so that he will inherit all the things we have. I’m really sorry but please let him go…”

All I was managed to say was “It’s fine, I completely understand, no worries.”

By the way, he’s a local Arab, ‘yung mga naka-kandora so I completely understand this situation.

Tama ‘yung mother niya, kailangan maging loyal siya sa family niya for his good sake, wala akong ma-i-o-offer sa kanya na power in society tulad ng nakasanayan niya even a big amount of  money, wala ako, e.

Then after that, nagpahatid na ‘ko, sa buong biyahe namin ay hindi ako makapagsalita tapos siya ang daldal niya, sinasabi niya,

“They like you, please marry me.”

“I don’t want anything else, all I want is you.”

“I don’t want to lose you.”

Pero tumatakbo paulit-ulit sa isip ko ‘yung realizations na all I have is a simple life, all I can offer him is my world, my love, and the whole me but I can’t offer him the world he used to lived in.

When we arrived at my place he said,

“I know and I feel something is wrong but please don’t leave me.”

“We can escape this situation but we can’t escape your obligations and traditions, you know I love you but I have nothing to offer to you,” I said.

Nakiusap siya na mag-antay ako ng 5 months, after 5 months ng marriage niya, makikipag-divorce siya.

His wedding day is on February 12, 2023 and ikakasal siya sa pinsan niya.

P.S. Ikakasal siya sa pinsan niya for the sake of money and society power. Para sa angkan lang talaga nila iikot yung pera, business, saka yung power nila sa society.

‘Yung picture naming ay ito… (wala ako ma-send na picture namin na naka-kandora siya, bawal kasi siya picture-an pag nakakandora sila)
