Chasing The Wild (Del Galiego Series #2 || ON-HOLD)

CHAPTER 10: I MISS YOU

"Dad, I know you've always wanted me to follow in your footsteps and become a political leader like you, but that's just not my dream. I want to pursue modeling, it's what I'm passionate about!" Even though I'm already mad right now I still manage to be calm.

We just got home from the event and here we are arguing about what happened kanina. Dad felt embarrassed because of what I did. Maybe this is the right time he need to know that I don't want him to manipulate me.

"Ramon, please let your daughter-"

Nilapitan ni Mommy si Daddy but Dad cut off Mom.

"Stay out of it, Gia! Nahihibang na ang anak mo! She's too young! hindi niya pa alam ang desisyon niya sa buhay. And now?" galit na galit si Daddy. Every word he said was so intense. Niluwagan niya ang necktie niya at umiling iling sakin."Modeling? anong mapapala mo jan Celestiana? mag paganda?!" His eyes flashed with anger, and his voice rose with each word. "You're throwing away everything I've worked for, everything I've built for this family, just to chase some frivolous dream? You want to be a model? That's not a real career, kalokohan yan!"

I took a deep breath, trying to hold back the tears that threatened to spill over. Ang hirap pala pag kalaban mo na ang sarili mong magulang. Parents should support their child. I always thought parents should support their child no matter what, but now it feels like his trying to force me into a mold that I just don't fit into. All I want is to chase my dreams, to follow the path that feels right for me. But instead of encouragement, all I get is resistance, like his trying to clip my wings before I even have a chance to fly. It hurts, knowing that my father who is supposed to have my back are the ones standing in the way of my happiness.

"Ramon! tama ka na! let your daughter explain!" galit na sabi ni Mommy. Now, mom went in the middle of us. Tinulak niya si Daddy palayo sakin. I was shocked when she did that."You're just tired. Pag usapan natin 'to mamaya na pareho na kayo kalmado!" ani niya at tinignan ako.

I just sighed. I was about to walk out because I'm too tired to argue when Dad makes me stop by his words.

"Fine then!"

And finally, he gave up. I thought that would be the end of it, that he would understand and support me in pursuing my own dreams. Na naintindihan niya na ako ngayon.
