CHAPTER NINE

Tumingin ako sa kama niya, nandoon siya, natutulog. Inilabas ko ang cellphone ko anf dial the security of our cruise ship's number.

"Sir...bubuksan po ba namin ang..."

"Huwag na."

"Ano iyon ulit, captain?"

"Huwag niyo nang buksan. Hindi ako pupunta diyan ngayon. May emergency ako dito. Tawagan niyo ako kung may problema diyan at susubukan ko kung makakabalik ako diyan."

"Sige, master."

I ended up the call before looking at her, whose sleeping peacefully after she cried with all her heart. Inilabas niya ang galit niya para sa pamilya niya, she told me about her life.

"Once upon a time, there's a girl who only wants her parents love. But she felt unloved by them. Wala siyang ginawa kundi pagbutuhin ang pag-aaral niya para lang mapansin siya ng mga magulang niya. Her dad was into politics and her mom was supporting her dad while they didn't support her all the way but they always gave her a big money to buy what she wants to buy but she can't afford to buy her parents' love. And now? They're letting her marry a maniac guy? A guy that she doesn't love! The heck with them right? Huh! Hindi ba nila naisip na masasaktan nila ang anak nila?! At ako iyong anak nila na iyon... Ngayon, pinapahanap nila ako? Para ano? Para gamitin? Para mas lalo silang sumikat sa pilitiko kung ikakasal kani noon?! Well fuck them all!"

"Tama na iyan Empress, lasing ka na."

Tumingin siya sa akin. "Ano naman kung lasing ako?! Tangina! Alak ako ng alak kasi naman ito lang iyong paraan ko para naman lang sumaya... Lasing ako ng lasing pero andoon parin iyong sakit! Bakit pa ako nandito sa mundo kung hindi naman nila pinaramdam sa akin na mahal nila ako, diba? Masakit iyon eh. Hindi madali sa akin. Kasi lagi nalang ako iyong last responsibility nila..."

"Maybe they are working so hard to give you what they want to give you... Gusto nilang bigyan ka ng magandang buhay pero hindi pala nila alam na nasasaktan ka, na hindi pera ang gusto mo kundi ang pagmamahal at suporta nila sa iyo..."

She clapped her hands. "Exactly! You're right my Captain!" Kumunot ang noo ko. "Their always first responsibility is that dad should always win all the elections. And then they needed to protect their names. God! And I am their fucking last responsibility!"

I sighed. "It must be very tough for you..."

"Yeah. My life sucks! I just wish that we have a very simple life. Iyong kami lang na tatlo. Hindi ko kailangan ng pera nila." Tumingin siya sa akin. "Ikaw ba? Gusto mo bang maging mayaman, hanggang ngayon?"

"Kahit iyong buhay simple at mayaman. I can be both... I can live a simple life and rich life."

"Ang hirap kasi kapag mayaman ka... Once you love the money... it'll obsess all of the people... But being in a simple life can be also difficult but no matter what I prefer a simple life."

I nodded. "Yeah. You can live a simple life if you want to. But look at us... We live as a rich family but we're not obsess with moneys. And yes moneys can buy anything that you want...but like what you said, it will obsess people, but they're some of it. Hindi lahat ng tao ay obsess sa pera. Pero kung pipiliin mo man ang simple life...nasa sa iyo iyan."
