Wrecked Obsession

CHAPTER FIVE

I love you,

In a certain dark things

You can't love.

In some nights you are

Afraid to sleep,

And some days you are

Scared to fall in too deep.

— Gemini.

TRIGGER WARNING, SKIP IF YOU ARE A SENSITIVE PERSON!

Aliyah's pov.

Hours passed, and I never talk about what i saw in the rooftop, i continue avoiding him kahit lagi siyang naka sunod sa akin. I tried to divert my attention to something else pero hindi umipekto. Like, what i'm going to do? 

 They are all having a good time together as they enjoy my father's collection of liquor. Sadya niya talagang dinala ang limang boteng klase-klaseng alak para ipa tikim kina tita. That liquor planned to lunch by next year and Dad having a self doubt again for he said, it might something go wrong with it's textures and after taste. 

I didn't really speculate of what he meant to, like how can i grasp when he didn't let me taste it in the first place? For heck sake i'm in de jure age! Hindi naman ako siguro malalasing agad sa isang lagukan lang ng wine diba? 

Even tho his my father, i can't help but to feel distressed sometimes. Minsan nakaka irita talaga pag gusto mong tumulong pero trina–trato ka niya na parang bata.

"You are still young, Aliyah. Hindi pa pwede. Tubig, soda, juice at cocktail ka muna." He declared. 

My eyes darted sharply to the bottle of wine in his left hand. "Must taste good, ey?" I ask in a thick sarcasm and I think, he's beyond tipsy to get that.

Ngumiti siya at tumaas-baba ang kilay na para bang nang aasar. "Mesherep." He chuckled and even drink the wine from the bottle in front of me! 

Wala sa sarili akong napa-lunok ng matunog siyang lumagok. My throat went dry when the gulp made me even think that it actually taste that good. Ano kayang lasa? Can't i just have tiny little sip? Kahit dila lang? Oh, freak! This old cow! Iniingit niya ako! 

He looked at me in so much awe. "Gusto mo?" He asked casually.

My face lit up by the sudden question of hope. I nodded repeatedly looking so desperate for the wine. 'See? Who wouldn't love my father? He's a jerk sometimes but softhearted. He's not dense. I love him so much——'

"Luh, asa ka!" He, then gave a mirthless laugh.

Umawang ang labi ko sa kanya. My eyes boiled like a magma ready to cook him alive. He's being too mean!

Humarap ako kay mommy na abala sa pakikipag tawanan kay tita Denis. I stopped my feet in annoyance. "Ma, oh! Napaka walang hiya ng ugali nitong asawa mo!" I complained. Tinuro pa si Daddy na agad inihagis ang bote ng wine kay Tito Harry na kanina pa bagsak sa sofa. The bottle hit Tito's head! Ako na ang napa–igtad sa sakit!

That definitely hurt! What the heck?

"Daddy!" I kick his feet. "You are a bad jerk!" Nanlaki pa ang mata ko sa kanya. "Gawa yun sa babasagin! Hindi kana naawa kay Tito!"

He just shrugged his shoulders. "He doesn't seem to care." He said and took a glance at Tito who didn't even move a bit. 

Oh my gosh! Is he dead??
