Carl's POV

Pinatay ko na yung laptop ko. Baka kasi hindi ko mapigilan ang sarili ko na kausapin lang si Liana buong magdamag.

Binuksan ko na yung pinto ng kwarto ko at... bumungad sa harap ko si Yaya Lita.

"Carl..." medyo may pag-aalala ang boses ni Yaya Lita. Anong meron? Kumunot naman ang noo ko. "Bakit po ba?"

Huminga siya ng malalim. "Bumaba ka nalang at para matuklasan mo iyon. Huwag ka mabibigla anak." Sabay naman niya akong tinapik sa balikat.

I feel a little bit tensed. Medyo kinakabahan lang na ewan yung feeling. Damn, this is so not myself. Just focus, Carl.

I went to the sala to check out those freakng visitors out there. They're ruining my alone time with my Liana.

As I stepped my foot on the last level of the stairs, I saw my fcking parents... with a girl beside them on the couch.

"WHAT THE H#LL ARE YOU TWO DOING HERE?! AND WITH A GIRL?!" I shouted at them.

Napatayo naman si Mom. "You don't have the right to speak like you're older than us Carl Eric Lopez!" Pagalit niyang sabi ngunit kalmado.

Tila pinipigilan ang tunay na galit na kumawala galing sa damdamin ni Mom.

Hinawakan naman ni Dad yung kamay ni Mom para paupuin ito. Alam kong nagpipigil lang si Dad at Mom na huwag ako masaktan. I'm their son.

"Just listen to us for a while Eric, okay? We've come along the way here from Singapore. Sit down." Sabi ni Dad sa akin with full authority sa boses nito.

Padabog naman akong naglakad. "Tss. Sino bang may sabi na pumunta sila dito?" Pabulong na sabi ko habang papaupo sa couch. This is so annoying.

Umupo ako sa tapat nila. Magkakatabi kasi silang tatlo. I'm looking at the girl through my peripheral vision. She's looking at me habang may ngiti sa labi niya. What's with her? I'm fcking bored here.

"Carl Eric, we need to talk and sort things out for just... 45 minutes." Nagulat naman ako. Not that over reaction but seriously? 45 minutes to talk and 'sort' things out?!

I keep my cool and waited for them to say something. "Umm.." sabi naman nung babae na katabi nila. This is really awkward.

"So??" Sabi ko na may halatang pagkairita sa boses. Ang bagal nila. 45 minutes nga lang diba? They're wasting my time.

I heared that my Mom sighed. "We have merging of companies. Nalugi kasi yung isang company and they seek us for help."

What the? "What is the effin reason you're here? Why do you need my presence on your company?" Ughh! Ano bang problema nila at dinadamay nila ako?

My Dad spoke. "The reason is, you are our only son and someday the company will be given to you that's why, this girl beside us.." Tumingin naman ako sa babae na katabi nila. ".. is now your fiance."

I'm pretty occupied with what I heard for about 10 minutes. Fiance? Are they really pissing me and taking the sht out of me?!

If that's the case, then I'm going to do it to them too. They want the sht out of me? Fine. I'm taking theirs too.

"SHE IS NOT MY FIANCE. PERIOD. THIS COUNTRY I AM CURRENTLY LIVING IN IS A DEMOCRATIC COUNTRY. I THINK, YOU ARE NOT UPDATED." Akmang patayo na ako ng pinigilan naman ako ni Dad.
