Dangerous 3: Pierre George

Chapter 2

Iris sighed as soon as she arrived at her stepfather's house in Montpellier. She bit her lower lip as she heard her stepfather's voice kahit pa nasa labas pa siya ng bahay nito.

"Who the fuck is that guy, Irene?! Didn't I tell you to avoid seeing other men?!" Rinig niyang sigaw ng ama niya kaya napahilot na lang si Iris sa sentido niya at tahimik na pumasok sa loob ng bahay.

"And I told you, hindi ko siya lalaki, Sean! Katrabaho ko siya!" Sigaw naman pabalik ng nanay niya at napatigil ang dalawang ito sa pag-aaway nang mapansin siya ng mga ito.

Tumingin lang siya pabalik sa nanay at tatay niya bago walang sabi-sabing tumalikod sa mga ito at pumasok sa loob ng kwarto niya para maligo.

"Iris!" Narinig niya pa ang pagsigaw ng stepfather niya sa pangalan niya pero hindi niya na ito pinansin.

She locked the door of her room as she walked towards the bathroom.

"Tingnan mo ang anak mo! Manang-mana sa ugali mo!" Rinig niyang dagdag ng tatay niya kaya napairap na lang siya.

Her stepfather is the one who cheated on her mother. And their relationship had been toxic ever since she was a child. Sanay na sanay na siyang makitang nag-aaway ang dalawang ito. Kung hindi lang siya tinawagan ng ina niya noong makalawa para sabihing gusto siyang makita nito kahit saglit, hindi siya babalik sa bahay ng tatay niya.

Not only that, but her stepfather is a trash.

Walang buhay na naglakad si Iris at tumigil sa harap ng shower. She closed her eyes as she allowed the droplet of water to travel down her body.

"Why did I have to be born as her daughter?" She asked in a frustrated voice before she opened her eyes which contained no emotion.

Fuck. I'm tired.

Iris wore a simple pants and shirt then she blow dried her hair. Inilagay niya sa maliit na maletang dala niya ang pilot uniform niya. She'd rather leave. It would be better for her to leave kaysa sa manatili siya sa bahay na ito.

She's tired of listening to their constant fights. And she can't really live with someone who's a human trash.

Iris tied her hair up in a ponytail and she wore a light make-up before she went out of her room. Nang makalabas siya sa kwarto niya ay nakaupo na sa couch sa living room ang nanay at tatay niya at mukhang iniintay na siya ng mga ito.

"Iris." Her mother called her name out.

Her eyes remained emotionless as she walked towards her mother. She then kissed her cheek and Iris stilled when her father held her wrist.

"Aren't you gonna kiss me as well?" Her stepfather asked at pakiramdam ni Iris ay nanlamig ang buong katawan niya.

She averted her gaze as she took her hand back and stepped away from her stepdad.

"I... I need to go. May flight pa ako." Pagpapalusot niya as she swallowed her own saliva.

Pero bago pa siya tuluyang makalayo sa stepfather niya ay hinawakan nito ang kamay niya at ito ang kusang humalik sa pisnge niya habang ang isang kamay nito ay nasa bewang niya.

Iris wanted to cry as she bit her lower lip. Her fists clenched and she tried her best to remain emotionless as she watched her stepfather step back.

"Take care, daughter." Sambit nito kaya tumango na lang si Iris bago nagmamadaling tumalikod dito at kinuha niya lang ang maleta niya bago siya naglakad papalabas ng bahay.

Iris was already in her car when she noticed her mother running towards her kaya naman ibinaba niya ang bintana ng sasakyan.

"Iris, I'm sorry. I didn't know na maagang uuwi ang daddy mo-" Pinutol niya ang sasabihin ng ina niya.
