Her Fate

Chapter 8

Agreement

"What??!!" sigaw n daddy habang nasa hapagkainan kami ngayon. Kasalukuyan kaming kumakain habang may biglaang napatawag kay daddy.

Nagulantang kami n mommy na di mawari ay prang nag-alala kami na parang may masamang balita na animoy batid naming nakita sa mukha ni daddy. And I can't help but to think about the last time we encountered that.

Matagal-tagal na rin yun, simula nun ay ini-iwasan kong banggitin yun tuwing nagsasalo kami o d kaya pag may family bonding  na kami lang tatlo. Though, kahit sila rin ay parang ini-iwasan rin nilang banggitin yun ay laking pasasalamat ko rin naman.

"Well, do something!, how come na may nangyaring ganun?---- *sigh—okey, I'll call back later.—yes, were having our breakfast and after this I'll be there in an hour." Sabay end call ni daddy at baling nya sa amin na may pag-alala.

"What happen hon? Is there a problem?" pag-alalang tanong n mommy. Sabay baling rin naman ni daddy sa akin at sinagot nya si mommy na nagkaroong problema daw sa hospital pero parang nasesense kong may kulang sa sagot ni daddy kay mommy. Pero di ko nalang pinagtuusan ng pansin at baka naman guni guni ko lang yun at nanalig ring mareresolve nila to.

Pagkatapos naming kumain ay isa-isa rin kaming nagsi-akyatan para maghanda. Nang nasa kwarto na ako ay biglang bumabother sa akin yung nangyari kaninang breakfast. Its just that I can't help but just jumping to a conclusion na may mabigat pang dahilan dun kung bakit sumigaw si daddy nun habang may kausap siya sa telepono.

Nang matapos na ako ay naisipan kong puntahan sila sa kwarto pero bigla akong kinabahan.

Damn! Whats this? Why I'm having this kind of feeling?

Nang narating ko na kwarto nila, my instinct told me to do so by not entering first and just sneek out and listen to what I've suspected na parang may pinag-uusapan sila na halatang medyo tumataas na ang boses nila. I can't help it but to open the door slowly just enough that I could hear them.

"Fred!, You cant do this to our only daughter!! How could you?! You should've asked me first before you decided on it!!"

"I don't even have a choice!, Both were so complicated even our only daughter is at risk, whether if she'll get married yet our profession will be suspended or worst our license will be at lost!, If thats the case then, I'll sacrifice and let them be! I cant risk Rian for this mira." pagod na sumbat ni daddy. 

Without a second thought. Umalis nako at pumunta sa kwarto na pasan ang lahat na mabibigat sa kalooblooban ko.

How could this be? What now?

Mga ilang oras ay nacompose ko na yung sarili ko at napagdesisyunan kong puntahan siya.

I search for the address and when I've found it. I hurriedly gone and trying to compose myself before I drive.

For now, I've made my decision and I love my parents so much even it kills me then.

Tss, kills me? Oh yeah, I forgot. How arse am I.

And when I realized that I've reach my destination. I immediately park my car and gone out.

Rian, this is it. Make things straight and fix this mess!

After saying that to myself, I immediately ask the lady from the reception area.

"Hi and Good morning! I'm Andriana Lei M. Ruiz", huminto ako saglit, thinking and decided that I should pursue this, without any second thought then I continued.

"Ahm, I'm here to meet................ Mr. Wayne Montereal."

The lady smiled at me and she ask me to wait and to confirm it first. Then lately, after scanning it on her computer then she smiled at me " Ohh, you can proceed maam, Mr. Montereal is in his office mam."

Nagtataka ako kung bakit ang dali dali ko lang makapag-appoint sa kanya pero binaliwala ko nalang at tinuon ko nalang ang attention ko sa mga binibigay nya sa akin kung saan banda yung office nya and she ask someone in here to escort me.

Any minutes now, I'm on the 25th floor na medyo sobrang kataasan tong building nila and yes, I'm here, in Montereal Corporation. I can't help it but to discusss this to him about that.

At nang nasa tapat na ako ng office nya ay may nakasalubong akong I think, sekretarya nya. She smiled at me and I just thought that she knows I'm expected to come here. I gave in and respond to her politely. Not bad, medyo may katandaan rin yung sekretarya nya.

"Ms. Ruiz, Mr. Montereal is ready to see you, you can go inside now."

Bago ko ginawa yun ay naghanda muna ako at huminga ng malalim at ng buksan ko na ang pintuan ay nakatalikod siya sa akin at nakatingin sa glass window.

His office was huge enough just to see there is a sofa when I glanced to it. All I can say is that purely, a manly taste of him to have his office like this and I bet sinadya nyang ganito to plan out for his business where he can relaxed anytime kahit nandito sya sa kompanya nya. I could almost see the entire city up here, even I'm here, near at his door standing still.

And lately, he turned around when he felt my presence. A smile---- no cut it. A smirk, obviously formed in his face.

" And now, I expect that you already heard the news then?" with that, d ko rin maiwasang mainis sa kanya sabay baling sa kanya.

"Cut the crap and lets finish this! Now tell that to your parents that I'll agree to this arrangement, ju-just please, spare my parents for this."
