Vampire's Possession (ON-GOING)

Chapter 9 - Get close

Her POV

Kakatapos lang akong iikot ni daddy dito sa hacienda and I have already met other workers here.

Ngayon ay nandito na kami sa living room kumakain ng meryenda.

"How did you meet, Mr. Vier pala anak?" tanong ni daddy sa akin. Ayoko na talaga sanang maalala 'yon.

Napainom naman ako ng tubig pagkatapos kong maalala 'yong nangyari saamin sa restroom the other night. "Uh, ano lang dad, by accident." and I smiled awkwardly.

"I guess it was a destiny to met him." sabi ni daddy at napangiti ng nakakaloko.

"What dad?" my brows knitted.

He shrugs, "Well, isn't a destiny? The both of you met by an accident and now, he is living near to us and besides, he is still young ha at poging bata rin, imagine that." at binigyan pa ako ng nakakalokong ngiti ni daddy.

"Destiny? That's cringe dad, baka may asawa na 'yong tao." sagot ko kay daddy kasi at his age baka pamolyado na siya. At possible naman 'yon kasi nga mayaman at magandang lalaki rin siya.

Napaisip naman sis dad. "Oo nga no? Baka may asawa na siya." and he laughed.

Hay nako. Ilang beses na ata akong ipagtulakan ni daddy. Well, isa pa man lang 'yong naging ex ko. And now, we are friends na, maybe it was just a puppy love before, nothing serious.

"Oo nga, dad. Kaya itigil niyo na po 'yan." sabi ko sa kanya.

Natigil naman kami sa pag-uusap ng bumamaba si mommy, at napatingin ito sa amin.

"Oh, hon. Are you done? Halika, kumain ka muna dito ng meryenda." aya sa kanya ni daddy. Kaya lumapit naman si mommy dito.

"Anong meryeda." tanong niya at umupo siya malapit kay daddy.

"Pie, binili namin 'to ni Hara kanina." sagot ni daddy.

"I see." kumuha naman si mommy at kumain kaya nabaling naman ang tingin nito sa akin. "Zahara, I hope you are ready to join our business." sabi niya.

"Yes, mom." sagot ko kaagad sa kanya.

"That's great."

"I will do the best that I can." I said.

Tumayo naman ito. "No, in this job sometimes doing your best isn't enough, so you must do everything you can even if it shreds you," she said seriously.

"Yes, m-mom." at napayoko na lang ako.

"Basta anak, nandito lang kami ng mommy mo ha. Don't pressure yourself too much." pagpapagaan ng loob sa akin ni daddy. Napansin niya na ata ang tensyon.

"Feel whatever you want, Zahara. In this business, I want everyone and everything to be professional. Naipamana ito sa akin and I want this business to excel." naiintindihan ko naman si mommy sa ganitong bagay.

"I understand, mom. But can I have my things and cameras back now?" I said.

She rolled her eyes on me. "No." deretsong sagot niya. Nanghina na naman ako sa sagot niya.

"Gagawin ko naman ang lahat mom eh, just please bring it back to me already." paki-usap ko sa kanya.

Her eyebrows met, "Don't you understand me, Zahara? A no is a no, that's final.'' pagmamatigas niya pa.

"Hon, baka naman pwede mo nang ibalik kay Zahara ang mga 'yon. I know how much she treasures them. And besides, one of her cameras was bought by my mother. Kaya iniingatan niya talaga 'yon." defend din sa akin ni daddy kaya parang nabuhayan naman ako ng loob.
