Chapter 46. Settled

Settled

.

.

"Is it between work and love?" Sean wickedly smile at me.

I glared at him. He probably knew and just trying to play tricks around here.

"May alam ka ano? Sean?"

Tingala ko sa kanya, at bahagya na siyang natawa. Tumayo na si Daddy at hinarap siya.

"Do you know anything about this, Sean?" His voice was solid and high.

Sean cleared his throat and seriously stared at Dad.

"It's Timothy, Dad. But I believed it was from his parents order. I don't know about the details but he told me about it... Umatras na siya dito, pero ang Daddy niya ang nagpumilit."
.

Nagmura na si Daddy. As expected, after all it was Timothy's parents. The heck! Gaano ba kalaki ang utang at kasunduan na ito, at kaya talaga nilang gawin ang mga bagay na ito.
.

"Dad-"

"I'll fix this, hija. Don't worry..."
.

Napailing na akong nakatitig sa Ama ko ngayon. Isang tao lang ang iniisip ko ngayon, at si Brent ito. I wonder if what's on his mission list? Ang damin ko na tuloy tanong sa kanya. Part of me is telling that I have to believe him no matter what. And the other part of me is telling that he lied too.
.

Nalilito ako at hindi ko alam, pero gustong-gusto ko siyang makausap ngayon. Humarap na si Daddy ulit sa akin.
.

"Dad, I need to talk to Brent. I don't know where he is... We were in the Island for three days, and today he let me escape with Clyde's help. Pero naiwan siya sa Isla."
.

Pumatak na ang luha ko. Ang sikip kasi sa pakiramdam ko ngayon. Mariin na na hinaplos ni Daddy ang luha sa mga mata ko at tumango na ito.
.

"Which Island? I'll get Major Galvantes to scan the area, okay. And I'll see what can I do, hija," he calmly said.
.

I nodded while crying. This is a horrible feeling. I want to trust him, I really do but I am so doubtful now. Nalilito na ako...
.

There was no call after that and the next day too. Ilang beses ko pang tinawagan si Serenity, pero wala pa rin siyang balita. But one thing is for sure, and that Clyde said everything was safe and okay. Kahit papaano ay napanatag na din ang kalooban ko.
.

It's Tuesday today and it's been three days after the escaped. Walang tawag at text pa din sa kanya. I was so stressed that I couldn't even sleep at night. I even booked an appointment to see Timothy. Mabuti na lang din at nasa bansa pa siya, dahil balita ko pupunta na siyang Canada.
.

Everything between our families are settled. The media's are starting to lay low and the news went quite. Napalitan ito sa ibang bagay at parang nakalimutan lang din ang balita sa akin.
.

Ang sekretarya ni agad ang sumalubong sa akin pagkapasok ko pa lang sa building ng clinic niya. This hospital clinic alone he owns. He's a psychiatrist, and so the building rooms and the set-up are design for those people who needs mental health support.
.

"I'm here about the mission that you put on Brent, Tim!" panimula ko.
.

He repeatedly nodded and grabbed his cellphone. May binasa lang siya at nakataas pa ang kabilang kilay niya.
.

"Well, it's been settled, Sunny... Wala na akong kinalaman pa. I withdraw it already when I was in Italy,"he stared.

My eyes widened. "What do you meant?"

"May parents did it all and it's very complicated, Sunny. And besides, its a family matter. Tapos na rin, at umatras na ako. Brent shouldn't be having a hard time. I retreat the mission when I saw how the two you love each other."

.

So, it was all from his parents.

.

"Why the hell are your parents are so obsessed, Tim? Noon kay Arabella, and probably to every daughter of one's businessman ay pinares na sa'yo. What's wrong with you? Hindi ka naman bakla ano!" I regreted saying it and I rolled my eyes. Sana nanahimik na lang ako. Pero hindi eh, ang daldal ko rin kasi ngayon.

"As the only son-"

"Oh, that's makes sense," I twisted my mouth.

"Any idea what's on the mission, Tim?"

"It was simple... To make you come back here with me. And if that failed... The other options is to send you home here. Pero nakauwi na naman. Kaya wala ng problema."
.

Pinaikot na siya an swivel chair at mas inayos lang din ang mesa. Hindi na tuloy makapagsalita.
.

"But why are they after him in the Island, Timothy? May alam ka ba?"
.

Napailing na siya at tumayo na. Humakbang siya sa kabilang divider na malalit sa mesa niya. Dalawang orange juice na ang bitbit niya ngayon, at ibinigay sa akin ang isa. Naalala ko lang din si Brent nito. Kaya tinitigan ko lang din ito ng husto. Kagabi pa ako sapilitang tumatawag sa kanya, dahil sa pag aalala. Pero unattended at unavailable ito.
.

"Tim?"

"I'm sorry, Sunny. At first I thought he will just play around with you. Kaya umatras agad ako. Hindi ko naman inakala na seryoso na pala siyang nahulog sa'yo," bahagyang ngiti niya.

"I'm happy, I promise... Brent is definitely lucky to have you, but I think he needs to explain himself to the top. His mission is not to fall in love with you... At ano kaya sa tingin mo ang nangyari sa inyo?" ngiti niya bago tumalikod sa akin.
