Consequences

Chapter 12

⚠️ UNEDITED

"We're going to talk later!" My father increased the volume of his voice to be heard by the woman who was walking away. She glanced at him and nodded before bringing her focus back to the path her feet was taking her to.

Talk?

Ano meron?

Bakit kilala niya si Daddy?

Scratch that.

Paano niya kilala si Daddy?

"Dad." Napaharap to saakin matapos ko siyang tawagin. "How come you know her? At, ano pag-uusapan niyo? Do you have some business with her?"

"I'm not giving you any answers to your questions. Work hard for it, my unica hija." He sipped on the glass of wine being held by his hand.

Luh?

Nagsalubong kilay ko mula sa sagot nito. He arched a brow at me, resulting for my furrowed eyebrows to be gone quickly.

Hindi ata ako makakakuha ng sagot dito. Might as well move on the topic with what he called for.

"Nevermind. Anyways, why did you call me here?" Tanong ko sakanya while crossing my arms.

He removed the glass away from his lips. "I was going to ask regarding the school event and your arrange marriag-"

"What about the arrange marriage, first?" Agad ko siyang pinutol. Unahin ko muna to, papawalain ko gutom ko para di panay tunog tyan ko mamaya kapag mag-uusap kami patungkol sa university event.

"I've set you up with a g-"

"-Can't you set me up with Tori instead? You know her, and it seems you have some favor towards her." I stated. It's true though, mukhang pabor si Daddy sakanya.

In addition, they look like they're close to each other. Tinarayan siya ni Tori tas hindi man lang nagalit si Daddy? Usually, mabubusit na yon.

"At least let me finish first?" Inirapan ko siya. Hindi siya direct to the point, mas maganda kung ganon.

"Cranky. Going back to the topic, I set you up with a girl, so don't worry. She's well known and matches you-"

"-Hanggang end of the year meron ko right before finalized yan?"

"-Yes. Stop cutting me off, Maxine." Tanginang second name na yan. "Now where was I? Ah, she's the same as you. Has the same interest, likes-" I tuned out what he was saying. I don't want to know, neither do I care.

"Sweetie, are you listening?" Muli ako nakabalik sa realidad dulot ng pagtatanong niya.

Pinag-iisipan ko pa rin yung ex ni ano, hehe.

"Opo, Daddy. Nakikinig talaga ako." I sarcastically said so he could take a hint.

"Figures. Meanwhile kay Vic, you'll work hard for it. Not me." Simpleng saad nito bago uminom ulit ng alak. "She's a rock. If you can't get her by the end of the year, say goodbye to her then." Binaba niya ang lalagyanan mula sa pagkadikit nito sa bibig.
