Before entering my Papa's office, I went first to his secretary table. His secretary greeted me with a wide smile.
"Is Papa inside?" I asked as I tucked my hair at the back of my ear.
"Yes, ma'am." sagot nito.
"Please tell him I'm already here." Utos ko sa kanya na agad naman niyang sinunod.
"Okay, ma'am.. Just a second." she responded. Matapos niya itong tawagan sa intercom ay humarap ulit ito sa akin.
"Ma'am, sir is already waiting for you inside."
"Thanks." I beamed before I marched towards Papa's office.
Pagpasok ko pa lang ay naabutan ko na si papa na prenteng nakaupo sa swivel chair niya.
"Hi, Pa!" I said before planting a soft kiss on his cheek.
"So, what is it all about?" Tanong ko.
He exhaled an exhausted sighed and looked at me wearily.
"Your sister already decided to settle down and focus with our business in Manhattan." Hindi pa man nito natatapos ang sinasabi niya ay alam ko na ang ibig nitong sabihin.
I think I'm being trapped.
Napabuntong hininga ako at napansin niya iyon. "I think you already get it." sabi niya at saka ako tinignan ng seryoso.
"Please stop being a brat and be a lady from now on. I need your help. The company needs your help." He pleaded.
Ako pa ngayon ang brat? After dealing with a fucking marriage that he just put me in just for the sake of this company!?
"I'm sorry, Papa, but I can't. Alam mo namang wala akong hilig sa mga ganitong bagay. Hindi ko alam magpatakbo ng kompanya. Hindi ba't nandyan naman si... Chris?" I could almost taste bitterness on my lips when I mentioned his name.
"Yes.. I know that you're not into this things but all things can be learn. Nandito ang asawa mo para gabayan at tulungan ka. I already told him about this and he is much willing to help you." Tugon nito.
I can't help but to roll my eyes. Hindi ko siya sinagot bagkus ay naglabas ako ng yosi at saka iyon hinithit-buga sa harap niya.
May karapatan ba talaga ako sa buhay ko? Bakit parang lahat na lang kinokontrol nila?
"You know, Melissa, tumatanda na rin ako. Maaring bukas makalawa ay mamamatay na ako. That's why I want to train you both of your sister to handle our businesses. It is all for your future, I just wanted you to have a better life before I leave this world." May lungkot sa tinig niya.
Dahil sa sinabi niya ay parang kumirot ang puso ko. I hate him for manipulating my life but I never want him to die. Iniisip ko pa lang iyon ay paramg naiiyak na ako. He's still my father.
I threw my cigarette in the ashtray under the glass table at pagkatapos ay humarap na sa kanya. He looked so helpless and asking for mercy when he was looking at me.
Bumuntong hininga pa ako bago sumagot rito. Ano pa nga bang magagawa ko? Wala naman akong karapatang tumanggi sa lahat ng mga sasabihin nila.
"Okay, Pa. I will try my best." Halos pabulong kong sinagot sa kanya na siyang dahilan ng pagliwanag ng mukha niya.
"Thank you, Melissa." Masayang saad niya.
Bago ako umalis ay marami pa kaming pinag-usapan. Karamihan sa mga tanong niya ay tungkol sa amin ni Chris.
Alam niyang hindi ko mahal si Chris pero hindi niya alam na hindi maganda ang pagsasama namin.
Ayaw ko na siyang mag-alala pa dahil may sakit siya sa puso. Pilit ko na lang iniiba ang usapan kapag tungkol sa amin ni Chris ang pinag-uusapan pero pilit binabalik ni Papa ang usapan tungkol sa amin. He was desperate to know everything about my married life!
Nagulat pa ako nang tinanong nito kung kelan daw siya magkaka-apo!
Like duh?! I can't even stand being with him in our own house yet Papa think that we're consuming our marriage? I won't let myself to have a sexual intercourse with that fucktard! Naiisip ko pa lang iyon ay parang kinikilabutan na ako.
Heaven will cry and hell will rejoice but I will never give in to him!
