Chapter 34

Anastasia's POV
 
              "Yes. Yung kaibigan mo Anastasia. They hired him and did a plastic surgery to make him looked like Dad a month before they planned to kidnap Dad. Nalaman ko din na unti-unting bumabagsak ang companya nila Tiffany kaya nila pinasok ang ganung plano upang makuha ang yaman ng pamilya natin. Luckily before Dad was kidnapped he ordered me to keep the money and gold bars inside his hidden room sa office niya. It was only between him and me." pagpapatuloy ni Ate.

"So nang pumasok ang fake na Dad sa buhay natin the money was safely kept pero may natitira padin sa bangko natin para sa gastusin."

What the fuck!?

"Make sense kung bakit he was pressuring you in academics and compete with Xaven because Tiffany ordered him to do so. Para daw mapalayo ang atensyon sayo ni Xaven at magalit ka sa kanya. At first it was just verbal words hanggang sa inuutusan na siya ni Tiffany na bugbugin ka. Tiffany was also the one that informing him about sa scores mo. She is paying the teachers to tell her about sa mga scores mo. She even dared to hire a nurse upang tusukan ang dextrose ni mom nung nasa hospital siya ng gamot pampatigil sa pagtibok ng puso. The nurse was about to inject it nang bigla akong pumasok. I caught her on act at pinakaladkad palabas ng hospital with our guards. While I was in the company, si Dad ang nagbabantay kay mommy while she was unconscious."

"Dad's best friend, Xaven's father informed me kung bakit nakalimutan daw ni Dad ang kanilang best friend anniversary eh hindi daw niya nakakalimutan yun. So I had to tell him about what happened, agad niyang pinuntahan si Dad sa condo at dun sila nagusap. Athalia also helped me with the guns and spy that I hired sa paghahanap ka Dad." Bumaling si Ate kay Athalia na nakasandal habang nakangisi.

I smiled at her.

"Xaven is also aware just by this week since sinabi sa kanya ng Dad niya. He was also the one who texted me kanina na pupunta kadaw dito sa bahay at nandito si mom. I thought this is the right time para ibunyag ang lahat. But before that Xaven texted me again na nandito daw ang nagpapanggap na Dad natin. So dinala ko ang mga military at police to arrest him. Sakto at pagdating namin naabutan namin kayo. Athalia was with us because she sensed na something was wrong. Finally after many years, Dad is finally home with us." Paliwanag ni Ate.

Naiiyak akong yumakap kay Dad and he immediately returned the hug.

"Dad... I missed you po!" naiiyak ko na sabi sa kanya.

"Oh my delancy, namiss din kita. Dad is very sorry kasi hindi ako nasa tabi mo while growing up. I didn't saw your achievements and I missed your kisses. I missed everything in this family. I am sorry if hindi kita naipagtanggol sa pambubugbog niya sayo, but I promise, pagbabayaran niya yun." Dad sternly said.

"You grew up to be a very fine woman, just like your mom. Gorgeous. I am very proud of you. So so proud." he said while caressing my hair and kissed my head.

Finally, the words I've been longing to hear.

Mas lalo akong napahagulgol sa iyak.

I smiled at him, "Thank you, Dad." naiyak ko na sabi and mom joined us.

I turned to Athalia and hugged her.

"Thank you... marami kanang nagawa saakin. Maraming salamat,"

"Psh, no problem. Ako lang 'to 'no!" mayabang na sabi niya at mas hinigpitan ang yakap.

I saw how mom hugged dad, they we're appart for many years at ngayon lang ulit nagyakapan.

Nilingon ko si Xaven ng niyakap niya ako sa likod.

"Is this the time para sabihin sa kanila ang tungkol saatin?" I whispered na medj napalakas kaya napalingon si Dad saamin.

"Ano?!" sigaw nila ni mom.

Maayos na napatayo si Xaven at tumikhim.

"Good afternoon Mr. and Mrs. Javez. I am here to ask your daughter's hand and to be her loving boyfriend. I promise to treat her like precious jewel in my life and to protect her at all cost with all my might. I hope you give me your permission and blessing to love her po. " kinakabahang tanong ni Xaven.

I can see how he trembled when Dad walked up to him with his emotionless face. Bigla akong napalunok.

"Kailan ang apo namin?" he asked.

Bigla siyang binatukan ni Mom.

"Ano ba naman yan Alejandro! Anong kailan?! Dapat kasal muna 'no!" Mom jokingly told Dad na napakamot sa ulo.

He immediately hugged Mom at naglandian sila sa gilid.

Padabog na tumayo si Ate.

"Gosh, makaalis na nga! Sakit niyo sa mata. Tara Athalia, libre kita ng vodka." aniya sabay hila sa gulat na Athalia.

Xaven happily turned to me.

"Kailan na daw kasal natin babe?" he teasingly told me while wiggling his brows.

I just shoved his face before he saw my red cheeks.
