Cassey's POV

habang nasa kotse, walang kibo si Dad.. pero alam kong nagpipigil lang sya ng galit..at this point, di ko alam ang iniisip nya. nakatingin lang sya ng derecho sa daan.. emotionless.

his unreadable gaze scares me. pag ganto, sky is the limit sa pwede nyang magawa..

I can't bear the silence kaya tumingin nalang din ako sa labas.. the view passes in a bliss dahil sa bilis ng sasakyan... pero it's enough para malaman kong hindi ito ang daan papunta sa village namin..

kinabahan bigla ako... saan ako dadalin ni Dad?

as we drive along the highway.. I saw a few landmarks.. W-what the hell?!

"D-dad.. w-where are we going?" - oh god.. please .. wag po sa iniisip ko..

"I am not going anywhere.. but you.. cassandra, will have a flight to catch." he smiles devilishly.

"b-but dad? w-why? w-where?" words got stuck on my throat.. no.. hindi pwede..

"you'll go home to your grandparents." - dad said with finality in his voice.

"to h-harabeoji?" oh god. this is getting worse.

"yes. you'll stay there while the wedding planner arrange your wedding. Andrei, will follow you there. Don't ever think of going against what I want Cassandra. you know your harabeoji." -Dad said with a smirk.

He really knows that I am going to hell.. yes. no offense meant but going to Korea under my grandfather's guidance will be like entering a lion's den.

oh god.. different thoughts flashes through my mind, but a particular stands out.. Julian. eto ba ang kapalit ng mga masasaya naming moments? just a few stolen hours..yet the consequence...

di ko na napigilan ang sarili ko.. my tears flow as if they have their own feet..

my tears are running away from my eyes...

right now, I envy my tears.. they are free.. they got the freedom that I wish to have..

the freedom that I got a glimpse of, everytime I spent with Julian..

"Your tears won't change anything Sandy, you better dry that up and compose yourself. I don't want anyone see you in that state. that will surely stir up rumors."  -Dad

"are you that heartless Dad?" - I need to speak out my thoughts and feelings... this might be my last straw of freedom.

"What drama are you trying on me Sandy? di ba dati pa to napag-usapan? the Park-Jung nuptial will finalize the merge of our company with theirs and that is what we needed." -He uses his business tone, as if hindi future ko ang pinagusapan namin.. as if I am just a business deal for him.

"Dad, you talk as if my marriage is just a business deal! pero sabagay.. yun naman talaga ang turing mo sakin diba? a business deal. I'm just someone that you can use to climb higher on the business world. you treat me like a commodity! but hey! let me remind you, I am your daughter! but you never treat me like one.. never." - I said with a lot of pain in the voice.. the tears keep on flowing...

I look into his eyes, within a split-second, I saw emotions pass by it.. pero nawala din.

"Stop the non-sense Sandy. I'm doing this not just for me but for your future! ayoko ng pag-usapan ito. My decision is final. you will go to korea and wait there till your wedding day. end of the conversation." -then dumerecho ulit sya ng tingin.

end of conversation.. end of my freedom... End of my life...

-----------------------------------

nakarating na kami ni Dad sa airport without any words..

bawat hakbang ko.. bumibigat ang pakiramdam ko..

dahil ang bawat hakbang ko, ay hakbang papalayo sa taong mahal ko.

sa lobby ng airport, I saw my mom standing..

gusto kong tumakbo papunta sa kanya.

yakapin sya.. umiyak.. papigil sa kanya si dad.

and I was about to do that when Dad hold my arm.. tightly.

"You are leaving Philipines because you want to visit your Halmeoni, you and Andrei will ask their blessing for your wedding. Understand?" - my Dad said in gritted teeth, maybe ayaw nyang mahalata ni Mom na pinipilit lang nya kong umalis.

gusto kong magmatigas, gusto kong lumapit kay Mom, but my dad hold my arm like he will break it.. naiiyak na ko sa sakit..

"Don't cause a scene Cassandra Park. Don't test my patience, you know what I can do. Now, you are going to Korea in your own will. Arasso? (understand?)" -Dad said while gripping my arm tighter.. so tight that I know this will bruise later.

"N-neh. A-arasso.(yes. I understand.)" - I said with a trembling voice.

"good. now go to your mom, say goodbye. your Flight will be leaving in a few minutes." -Dad

as we go near my mom, gusto ko ng mag-break down.. I hug her tightly pero pinipigilan kong maiyak. She hugs me back.

"you take care here sweetie, hug your grandmother for me." -mom said as she hugs me tight

"o-okay mom." -I said, yet my voice breaks.

"hey sweetie, are you okay?"- hinawakan ni Mom yung balikat ko at tinitigan ang mata ko..

I can't lie to my mom. she knows me very well.. but as I look behind her I saw my father's deathly glare. alam ko na pag hindi ko ginawa to, maraming madadamay.. especially my friends..

"yeah. I'm okay mom, i'm just worried about you, baka po kasi pag umalis ako may mangyari nanaman." -I try to smile, though I am not feeling it.

"my princess, are you sure you're okay? you can tell mommy anything." -my mom said tenderly as she caress my cheeks..

before I respond to my mom, narinig kong tinawag na ang flight number ko.

calling all passengers of Flight Z2 884 direct flight from Manila to Incheon Airport, Seoul, South korea

"Honey, Sandy needs to board her flight. she won't be gone long. don't worry she'll be here for the wedding." -my dad said.

"okay, okay. I just wanna make sure that my princess is okay.. hug mommy sweetie before you leave." -my mom said as she hugs me. so tight that I know she suspects something's off.

"I love you mom." - I said while she pats my back.

"and I love you more sweetie. I love you more"

and I go through the boarding process, as I sat down to my seat, di ko na napigilan ang sarili ko. lumabas na lahat ng luha na kaya kong ilabas..

and as the plane goes off the ground, my heart falls, and shatters into million of pieces.
