I dedicated this chapter to you all.

Two chapters to end. Hope you enjoyed reading it.

Ahhh, sh*t!

Now she regrets why she even insisted on going to the fountain they say. That's really far away.

"Hurry up and walk, woman!"

This is another thing she hates. Her male companion was kind. Very gentleman. The type of person who will not rush you to walk.

"Can you please don't shout there. That spring is so far away!" She shouted angrily at the man.

What on Earth and the gentleman now of men?

As she chased after him, she did not notice the protruding root of the tree so she stumbled. Before she could moan from the pain in her leg she was already up on the ground. Seige carry her.

"I never thought she would marry a clumsy girl like you."

She glared at Siege. If only her foot wasn't sore. This man will get kungfu on her.

"If I only knew that your mysterious fountain was so far away, eh, I wish I hadn't come."

"As far as I know Pamela said, I'll take care of it. You girls are so stubborn."

She just stared at him. She turned at her back where she heard the sound of dropping water. She was amazed at what she saw. A very clean spring. You can clearly see the rocks under the very clean water.

"Wow!”, she exclaimed in astonishment.

"Please say, Tabi -tabi po."

"Huh, what's that?"

"Just say it. If you don't want to be notice by unseen creator."

"Hey, what?”, she said artfully. Sometimes she is attacked by her intelligence when the speaker is rude.

"Just follow through. You know everything in the world has someone taking care of it. And we don't see it."

She still couldn't get what it said but she just obeyed.

"Excuse me. Tabi- Tabi po,.”

He even turned around.

"Oh, it's okay for you to take a bath and we need to get back right away. He's definitely there and your fiancé is ready."

The thought that she would marry Datu Puti brought back a huge problem that she had to solve. She wonders how she can escape the man but she thinks it looks harder to get through it than Jigs.

"Oh, it's okay. Get away from me and I'll take a bath."

"I don't like to seduce women. And what's so special about you?"

Damn!

You see, isn't he was scarier than Jigs?

"It's up to you!" She said annoyed and carelessly bathed in front of him. From time to time, she glances at him to make sure he doesn't covet her sexiness.

It looks like the man doesn't really have that. And it's not really as many as she thinks. It was just quietly waiting for her. There is probably nothing she can do about her fate with Datu Puti.

"Do I really have to marry Datu Puti. Seige, I don't want to. I'm not going to be happy with how he's feeling. One more thing, I have a girlfriend waiting for me."

"Just follow through. I'm sure you'll enjoy it eventually."

"I'm not going to be happy with Datu Puti. I also don't want my last name to be Yugyug."

"Just follow us Fatima. You're a very noisy woman, tsk!"

It walked away before she was told to follow him. She felt so sad and self-pity that she seemed to have no hope of getting out of that situation. Sadly she followed the man.

They have reached the village. She still has bored and she has no intention of smiling.

Uy? You, would you be happy to marry someone you don't know and you don't love?

Someone held her hand to her surprise. A woman smiled kindly. She had a beautiful smile but she was so sad that she could not reciprocate.

"You need to get dressed because the wedding will start soon."

There was no life she followed it. She couldn't do anything else.

It ushered her into a room full of living beautiful garments. A white dress is embellished. That's beautiful. Seeing her shoulders.

"You look like a fairy. You are so beautiful young lady."

"Thank you."

"I hope we're just as good as you."

"You are beautiful. Our god is not created an ugly person", she said with all her heart. Sometimes she becomes mean and can say bad things to them but she still believes man was created by god to be equal.

"We're not pretty, young lady. Our skin is black. People like you with pale complexions won't like us."

She smiled to make it feel like she didn't think so.

"You know. No matter what color a person's skin is. And no matter how beautiful it is and no matter where it comes from. Our kindness will still be the way for our fellow human beings to love us."

The woman smiled at her. she even hugged her so she used a hug with her.

"Don't despair. The man will also come for you. “she said still smiling.

'If you only want Datu Puti,' she said to herself.

"Thank you. Congrats on your wedding."

She frowned when she reminded her of the upcoming wedding between her and Datu Puti. Only later will her last name be Yugyug.

"Your fiancée is so handsome young lady."

She suddenly looked at the woman. She also restrained herself from speaking because she thought before that she was just soothing her.

"If you want to marry him. You can." she refused to say.

"Are you sure?"

Its a confusing question.

"Of course."

"Oh, don't think we're no good and he's definitely better than you."

She wanted to cry. She suppressed that. The woman might be surprised.

It put on her thin make-up. It's good for people to apply make-up here. Many know that the people who have lived here are modern. You also can't say that they are catching up with the trend like in Manila.

She would have been satisfied if she had seen Antoine in front of the altar and not their Datu. Sure to be later. She will weep not for joy but for grief. Grief over her life.

"Come on, young lady. They must be waiting in the hall."

"Hall?"

"Yes, earlier when Siege accompanied you someone arranged here for the wedding to be held."

She smiled weakly at it. She looked at the man peering at the door of that house. Jigs. It was wearing a coat. the man was so handsome wearing it.

"Come on Fatima. Datu Puti is already waiting."

She gasped. He took her hand and placed it in his arms. The woman handle her a bouquet of flowers. She took it against her will. She walked slowly because she really didn't want the wedding to take place.

She observed the beautiful surroundings. There are many people and they have fancy clothes. She was even surprised because there were many guests whose bulk was familiar to her. They faced the front of the hall they called. She hovered her gaze around. She wanted to laugh when she saw the curtain she had washed just yesterday. The holes in it are obvious. Consuela remembered how angry she was of washing that yesterday.

She was suddenly nervous when the wedding melody sounded. Where did that come from? Alas! And it looks like their wedding is really planned. Let's see, she has another terrible evil prepared. At least get revenge on them!

She saw Datu Puti in the front where she herself was facing. Jigs left her and told her to walk to Datu Puti if she didn't want to make him angry and cook her alive.

In fear, she walked slowly to where Datu Puti was.

She was in the middle of walking when she noticed familiar faces sitting in the elongated chairs lined up on either side of her.

Why is all the Racketeer here? What's going on?

Even before she was even more surprised when she saw a bulk of men appear in front of her. It was obviously waiting for her there. He was wearing a tuxedo matched to her white off-shoulder dress. The man was smiling and looks very handsome in her eyes. But that is not what she thinks. She wonders now how he can go bald. She wanted to do this to the man but she didn't seem to be able to do it even though his manly beauty was already touching her soul.

She took a quick step and hugged him. Yesterday she felt very worried about him. She still thinks it might have been dead. That the group might have gotten him as Jigs says.

"You missed me, babe?"

"Yes, I just didn't miss you. F*ck you. I also want you kick your ass. I was here one day in this place. You made me worry about how you are. Where did you go?"

"I just arranged our wedding, babe. Didn't I tell you I had a surprise? This is it babe."

She rolled her eyes. Everyone there was staring at the two of them. There were six of his friends next to their female companions.

"So, you just planned everything, including my pretend marriage to Datu Puti?"

The man mischievously smile..

"All the plans are just made by the mafia to surprise you."

She looked badly one by one at his friends. They were the ones who had the gimmick in everything that happened to her. They enslaved her for almost a day.

"How did you do it? I mean do you know them?"

She was specific to Jigs and Siege as well as the people on that island.

"Siege and Jigs are my mafia friends." Said the man.

"And you cheated me and they were your accomplice?"

"I'm sorry babe, Consuela. It's just a coincidence that I saw them in the woods when I was looking for dry wood. And when they caught you they didn't mean to. It was really like they were hunting animals."

She raised an eyebrow at what he said but she didn't pay any attention to it.

"And they're the ones helping people here?"

"Yes, and I sponsored the school to be built here."

Her eyes shone with awe at him.

Their gaze stopped when someone suddenly sneezed near them. Its Datu Puti. He was wearing a white robe. Like the ones worn by a priest. You mean it's a priest?

She has a lot to apologize for him. But maybe her sin wasn't that big and it would forgive her because Datu puti also helped them to lie.

She laughed at the thought. It looks like she still has to charge them. Antoine guided her to the front of Datu Puti.

"You're surprising Antoine. No proposal, no engagement. Get married right away?"

"Is that even necessary?"

"Of course."

Datu Puti sneezed again. It seemed impatient to start her marriage with Antoine.

"W-we can start now.", Said Datu Puti as if something was wrong.

"Am I right, Datu Puti? Proposal and engagement must be done before the wedding. I was so surprised."

"Don't you want to marry me, woman?"

Antoine frowned when she faced him. It seemed disgusting to her.

"Did I say I don't want to marry you? I'm not saying anything like that."

"But why are you asking for so much? Isn't it enough that I'm going to present you at the altar and get married today."

Their attention was aroused when Datu Puti strongly applied his hand to the table in front of them. It was already sweating and seemed to be really restless.

"T-talk to each other. I'm just going to comfort room"

The old man couldn't take the feeling anymore and just left them there. Antoine shook his head and looked at her rudely. She bowed down and was left with the man's anger.

It's been a few hours and Datu Puti is still not coming back. Gusting, who was ordered to pick him up, said that he had not yet come out of the toilet. A few more hours passed and the people there were also impatient. They are also murmuring.

"Looks like the wedding can't go on now. Maybe we'll just share the food on the table first.", Jigs said to all the people there.

People stood up and approached where the meals were that would have been the next venue after they exchanged Antoine’s vow. They were eating happily when suddenly she remembered something. She bit her lip so hard. She just felt so ashamed. Whether she wants to stop them is too late. Fortunately she did not take any of the dishes she had prepared.

The time passed as his conscience troubled her. She was even surprised when Antoine approached her.

"Consuela, what did you put in the food?"

He whispered in her ear. the man also seems hard to say that.

"Are you okay Antoine?"

"Do you think we're okay, Consuela?"

She wanted to be ashamed of what she had done. With so much self -loathing and remorse she seemed to have nothing to present to them. She was feeling very much of her guilt.

"Sorry."

She quickly left in front of them out of sheer embarrassment. She doesn't think they can forgive her that easily.
