Veritas in Libertas

Chapter 6

Celine's POV 

So I'm right its cappuccino...

I started drinking my ice coffee again after confirming its flavor... 

I just stared out the window, observing lights from traffic and towering buildings

I also noticed the people rushing towards the passenger vehicle and a man being chased by some people 

along with the music my driver was playing, I took a deep breath because I was going home to our mansion again. I think my parents are already there, ano nanaman kaya ang sasalubong sa akin sana naman pagod na sila para manermon pa, para mabilis na rin akong makaakyat sa kwarto.

as we passed McKinley road, I was getting ready because I was about get out of the car 

and there we entered a private subdivision, I can see the luxury of every house that passes through every street which was obviously so quiet that no one seemed to dare make a noise 

"Kuya Gabo do you think my parents are already there?" 

I asked 

Kuya Gabo turned to me before looking  back to the front 

"Yes mam tinawagan ako ng ate mo kanina"

I just nod my head and looked at the gate that automatically  opened 

and when we stopped in front, my driver immediately got out to open the door for me 

"Mam kumain ka po ng dinner ha, hindi ka kumain kanina"

he reminded 

When I stepped down I was greeted but the cold night as the wind blew through my hair 

surroundings were drowning in darkness, except for the light coming from the main entrance, actually we have really dim lights out here but not enough to be fully illuminated

So when I felt the car leave behind me, I decided to go up our perron staircase leading up to our main door 

I clicked several times the door bell before it welcomes me 

"I give you everything you want! and then I'm only asking for a little  time you can't give ?!" 

napaatras ako bigla nang marinig ang lakas ng boses ni daddy at pagbagsak ng babasaging muwebles sa bulwagan 

"Liam really? maliit lang na bagay kailangan pa pagtalunan?"

Hindi makapaniwalang sabi ni mommy 

lumapit sa akin si Manang Sonya at hinarangan ang vision ko 

"Are they fighting again?" 

tanong ko habang sinusubukan silipin ang mga magulang kong nagtatalo 

"Iha akyat ka na sa kwarto mo, mukhang pagod ka na, kumain ka na ba? ipapadala ko nalang yung pagkain mo sa taas ha" 

tila ang mga paa ko ay hindi makagalaw sa kinatatayuan  kaya kinailangan pa kong hilahin ni Manang Sonya para makadiretso sa sariling kwarto 

At doon muli kong kinulong ang sarili ko 

Alam kong nag- aaway sila lagi pero hindi ko natutunghayan iyon dahil lagi ako hinahatak ni Manang papasok ng kwarto, at kapag malamig ang pagitan ng bawat isa, ako lagi ang dahilan kaya minsan hindi ko mapigilan mapaisip na umaarte lang ba sila sa harapan namin na ayus ang kanilang relasyon pero ang totoo naman pala ay may problema silang pinagdadaanan?

I have no guts to ask them, there is a wall between us, and I am ashamed to show concern. It feels like that was not me, and I grew up not caring about everything
