Avianna
My father always asks me what I would choose: love or power? He will always say that I couldn't have them both.
But I've never answered that question.
"Avie," pagtawag ng aking ama sa pangalan ko.
Napatigil ako sa ginagawa ko at nilingon siya bago sumagot, "yes, dad?"
"Do you still remember what I've always asked you since you were a child?" tanong niya na tinanguan ko lamang bilang sagot.
"What about it, dad?" pagtataka ko dahil sa biglang pagbanggit niya rito.
"You still haven't answered it yet," saad niya. "I'm planning to give up on my position and give it to you however..." sinadya niyang putulin ang sasabihin at inabutan ako ng ipad.
Kinuha ko naman iyon. Naka-flash sa screen ang litrato ng isang lalaki, katabi nito ay mga impormasyon tungkol sa kaniya.
"Before that, I have a plan for you. Let say that it's like a game," pagpapatuloy niya. Tinuon ko atensyon ko sa aking ama at nakinig sa sasabihin niya. "I'll be sending you to a private rest house where you have to live with a man for a month," sunod niyang sinabi.
"You mean this man?" paniniguro ko habang tinuturo pa ang litrato ng lalaki na naka-flash sa screen ng ipad.
"Exactly, my dear," tugon naman niya na may pagtango pa.
"What is this for?" pagkwestyon ko sa kaniya. Hindi ko maintindihan kung ano ba ang kaniyang pinupunto sa mga sinabi niya.
"That's for you to find out, Avie, " tanging sagot ng aking ama.
