Mr. Right (Mr. Series #3)

Chapter 6

"Let's see how lucky I am," he said.

Bawat paghakbang niya palayo ay ang sobra kong pag-aalala na baka hindi na siya makabalik sa akin. Ito na nga ba ang sinasabi ko. Dad will take this chance to take his revenge towards Carpio's family. After what they did to us, I'm sure hindi niya palalabasin ng buhay ang taong mahal ko.

Lalo na ngayong ang mga board of directors ay pumapabor sa paglalagay ng isang CEO sa Carpio-Velasco Corporation. Paniguradong mawawala ang apelyido namin sa korporasyong iyon kapag nagpatuloy ang dad ni Jhon Rey sa pagiging sakim.

"He'll be fine," sambit ni mom nang lapitan niya ako at punasan ang aking mga luha.

"I know exactly what Dad is planning. He did it to me last time," I said between my sobs.

Hawak ko ang puso ko nang tuluyan nang makapasok sa loob ng office ni dad si Jhon Rey.

"He doesn't have to do this, mom. Jhon Rey is sincere now. He loves me now. Kailangan niya pa bang patunayan 'yon? He's now here with me. Hindi pa ba sapat 'yon?" I can't seem to stop panicking. Why do I have to experience this heartache? I don't want to see Jhon Rey suffer!

Patuloy akong pinatatahan ni mom. It's delirious to see the person you love go to the pit of death.

"He needs to do this at least to gain your father's trust after all of what he did to you. I know you love him and you don't want him to be hurt but as your parents, kailangan naming makasiguro na seryoso siya sa 'yo at hindi ka basta-basta iiwan o lolokohin," paliwanag ni mom habang hinahagod ang likod ko.

"Are you still mad at him, Mom? Why are you letting Dad do this?"

"Because we love you, we're doing this for you."

Niyakap niya ako. At ilang sandali pa ay nakarinig kami ng malakas na putok ng baril. Halos mawalan ako ng hininga. What the hell happened?

Unlike before, I was lucky that I got the revolver with an empty cartridge, but now, because of that fucking gunshot, my mind appeared to be more anxious.

I didn't waste any time and dashed straight to my father's office, knocking and shouting, but no one seemed to care about my loud banging on the door of Dad's office.

Ano na bang nangyari? What the hell?

Lumalabo na ang paningin ko kakaiyak. Hindi ba sila lalabas?

Utang na loob!

Gusto kong matahimik.

"Jhon Rey, utang na loob lumabas ka d'yan!" sigaw ko at patuloy na kinakatok ang pinto, but just like a while ago, no one was coming out. Fuck! Fuck! Don't tell me? "Sumasakit na ang kamay ko! Nakikusap ako, come out of this fucking door! Isa!"

After hearing the doorknob click, I did not waste any time and opened the door. Dad's serious face welcomed me.

Sinamaan ko siya nang tingin. "What did you do to him? I swear, this will be my death if you do something bad to him."

Hindi ko alam kung saan ko nakuha ang tapang kong iyon pero pumasok ako sa loob ng office ni dad. Hindi ko na alintana ang takot na pumasok sa kwartong ito. Gusto ko lang makita ang asawa ko.

Napatingin ako sa sahig nang makita kong may dugo.

No.

No way.

This isn't real.

I looked all over to see if I could find Jhon Rey. Where the fuck is he?

"Are you looking for me, babe?"

I turned to the person sitting at the table, who was now smirking as if he knew I would barge in to see him. I immediately approached him and examined his body.
