3rd POV
As soon as Maddie and Bea enter the study there were able to see that the old man was looking up some documents probably reviewing their company's expenses in the last quarter cause that's just how he is. He wanted to have a say in anything.
" Ehemm... " Bea then cleared her throat to get the attention of the old man. He just throw them a look and then starts to keeps his things away both of the was nervous. Bea know better hindi siya dapat panghinaan ng loob with whatever this talk will be all about. In paper she is the wife of Maddie so she should fight with her.
" I'm sorry" surprise will be an understatement none of them expected a thing from him let alone a sorry
" I know we didn't start in a good note, but I wanted to say for everything that I have done up to this day. I know how I mess up your life, anak and I know I did some awful things yesterday for saying things I shouldn't say. "
" Pa..."
" I know how you suffer because of me Nea, and Papa promise to understand you better this time, Sabi nga ng Mama ninyo it is already the 21st century. "
" You don't know how much i waited for this Pa! Sobrang thank you po 😭. "
" I promise to do anything for you Nea, Now go back to Finley baka hanapin ka na nun, and Bea a word " Maddie look back at her Dad and was about to sau something but Bea took her hand and gave her a reassuring smile probably signalling she got this
Hesitant... Maddie still leave the room which left her Dad and Bea inside, as soon as the door click the old man face Bea with somewhat different expression. She should know better that the old man was just faking it in front of her daughter
" I still detest your marriage to my daughter, I was planning her a bright future but you just have to step in and ruin everything! " The old man raises his voice towards the latter and she was just standing there not saying anythinh probably allowing the old man to rant whatever his keeping inside
" She was suppose to marry Zolo right after graduation, pero anong ginagawa niya, Sinundan ka niya sa US tssk, para ano bumuo ng pamilya? Yrenea was a big disappoint i would admit but what disappoint me the most is for you allowing her to be like that" Bea's mind was confused dahil alam naman niya na ang pagkikita nila ni Maddie sa US was a pure coincidence
" Hindi ko ba maintindihan yang anak ko, sa dinami-dami ng tao sa mundo bakit ikaw pa, bakit sayo pa siya nahulog at nagpakasal, palibhasa nakagraduate na at lumaban na pero noong nasa college kayo hawak ko siya sa leeg, ano na lang buhay ang ibibigay mo sa anak ko? Sa apo ko yung maliit mong organizing company. Do you even realize how hard it is to sustain a family in the US " Bea was still silent waiting if the old man still have remaining sentiments that he would like to open up about
" Are you done Sir? " she inquired and the old man just hissed
" First of all Sir, you don't get to tell anyone what they want to happen in their life, If it was your daughter's decision to leave and be her own self then i think you should respect that and what is wrong in falling in love? Does Gender always matter with love? do you even realize how other people are miserable because they are stuck with the person they don't really love at all? Most of the failed marriages now a days fail because it was forced or there was no love at all"
" And don't judge my company, It was self made of course it will be small i am just starting, but aren't you forgetting who I am? Well more like what is the surname your grandson will carry when he grow up? "
