Chapter 44
"Minerva, bitiwan mo ang anak natin!"
Hinila ako ni Mom paalis doon. We went inside an empty hall while I'm crying. I don't care about they might think about me anymore. Nililingon ko si Yves pero hindi ko siya makita sa dami ng taong nakiki-usyoso.
I'm shocked when Mom immediately slapped me when she faced me.
"Pinahiya mo kami sa harap ng maraming tao dahil lang sa lalaking 'yon?! What's happening to you, Alindra? Sinabi ba 'to ng lalaking 'yon sa 'yo? Para makaganti siya---"
"Minerva!" Dad stopped her from coming closer to me. Ako na mismo ang lumapit sa kaniya.
"He didn't tell me to do this! Hindi ko hahayaang ipamigay niyo ako nina Lola sa lalaking hindi ko naman gusto!" I told her, still crying. "Honestly, I don't know why you're doing this! Dad! If this is for our business, I will help you with everything.. 'wag lang ganito. 'Wag lang akong ipakasal sa iba!"
Malungkot na tumingin sa akin si Dad. "Hija, sa totoo lang.. hindi ko alam ang tungkol dito. Your Lola didn't tell me about this.. even your Mom."
I immediately looked at Mom after that. "Did you all plan this, Mom? I don't care about this freaking surprise party for my birthday anymore because of what you did to me! At first, you didn't like Yves for me! Ngayon naman, talagang ipapakasal mo ako sa ibang lalaki? Na hindi ko man lang kilala? Really, Mom? Really?!"
"Minerva, ano ba 'tong sinasabi ni Alindra?" galit na tanong ni Dad. He's also confused right now.
Hindi naman siya sinagot ni Mom. She just answered me, "I don't like that guy for you! Hindi siya makakabuti para sa 'yo!"
"Then that guy will be good for me huh? Gano'n ba 'yon?" umiiyak pa ring tanong ko sa kaniya. "I honestly don't know why you don't like Yves! Wala naman siyang ginagawang masama sa inyo! Mahal niya ako! Mahal ko siya! Mahal na mahal ko siya! Bakit hindi mo maintindihan 'yon, Mom?"
Napaupo na ako sa sahig dahil sa panghihina. I'm sobbing in front of my parents. I'm crying. I'm hurting. I feel like something inside me is tearing apart while tears are falling down from my eyes. Masakit na masakit ang nararamdaman ko. This is the first time that I feel this kind of feeling. I feel like I will explode anytime in so much sadness and hatred.
Hindi ko maintindihan! Hindi ko maintindihan kung bakit kailangang mangyari 'to!
Why do I feel like everything is stopping us from being together?
We don't deserve this!
"Hiwalayan mo ang lalaking 'yon, Alindra!"
I didn't mind Mom when she said that. I'm just holding my chest while crying. Naramdaman ko namang lumapit sa akin si Dad.
