Her Sugar Daddy

Chapter 5

"I'm sorry, I'm late liybimaya."

Agad siyang lumapit at umupo sa tabi ng dalaga na gulat pa ring nakatingin sa kanya. Pagkatapos ay malamig niyang tiningnan ang mag-ama na nasa harapan niya. 

"I'm Yrex Sarmiento Volkov. I'm the one who supports Amia's education and her temporary guardian." 

"Mr. Volkov, I called you here because Miss Fernandes is accusing Miss Torres of stealing her ring that leads them to fight." 

He remained emotionless despite of what he heard. But deep inside, he's close to strangling the three people inside this room. 

"So, you believe what Miss Torres said? That's it? Hindi mo nga hinayaang magpaliwanag si Amia."

"May punto naman ang sinabi nila kanina, Mr. Volkov." 

"What do you mean?" 

"Na hindi kayang makabili ng mamahaling singsing ni Miss Fernandes dahil isa lang siyang scholar at baka nga ninakaw niya lang ang singsing na nawawala niya." 

Yxer clenched his fist and he was near on blowing up because of anger but suddenly he felt Amia's hand caress his face trying to calm him down and it was effective. Nang masiguro nitong kumalma na siya ay tinanggal na nito ang pagkakahaplos sa kanyang mukha. 

"To stop this nonsense conversation, give me that ring Miss Torres." 

"Huh!? Why would I? This is mine!" 

F*ck! This woman is getting on his nerves. 

"You will give me that ring or I will cut all your fingers." He said in a menacing voice. 

Nakita niya sa mga mata nito ang takot pero nagmamatigas pa rin at ayaw ibigay ang singsing. 

"Mr. Torres, baka naman gusto mong kumbinsihin ang anak mo na ibigay sa akin ang singsing para matapos na ang usapang ito." 

Namumutlang tumango ito at pinilit ang anak na ibigay sa kanya iyon. He looked at the principal and gave him the ring. 

"You wanna know the truth? Look inside that ring and you will see Amia's name engraved on it. Did you see it?" 

"Y-Yes." 

"Siguro naman sapat na patunay na iyan na sa kanya nga iyan. Right, Miss Torres?" 

Bakas ang pagkapahiya at kaba sa mukha nito. Binalingan niya ulit ang principal na hindi makatingin sa kanya ng diretso. 

"I was the one who gave her that ring as a gift. How absurd that you think she can steal and can't afford to buy a diamond ring. May part-time job siya, pwede siyang makaipon at makabili 'non tapos sa dami-daming dahilan na pwede niyong isipin para magkaroon siya ng ganyang kamahal na alahas, pagnanakaw agad ang pumasok sa utak niyo. Tapos principal ka pa, I thought you are smart but instead you believe a liar's words. How shameful and disappointing."

"I-I'm sorry for this m-misunderstanding, Mister Volkov and Miss Fernandes. This won't happen again." 

"It really won't. This school doesn't need a principal who can't listen to both sides and only favor the rich ones." 

"A-Anong ibig mong sabihin?" 

"You're demoted." 

"You can't do that, wala kang kapangyarihan para gawin iyon--"
