Confrontation

Mr. Santillans POV

I was having a fight with my wife when I heard a sob near the door. I saw Yue, my baby, my only princess. She ran away when she saw us looking her way.

"Habulin mo sya Caleb. Explain to her kung ayaw mong gumising isang araw na pati ako ay mawala na rin sa buhay mo" My wife told me. I rush out my office and before I close the door I saw my wife sitting on the carpeted floor and crying her heart out. 'Ano bang nagawa ko sa tahimik na mundo ng pamilya ko?' I asked my self. Hinanap ng mga mata ko kung saan nagpunta si Yue, I saw her in the corridor while holding her chest. I run faster and kneel in front of her.

"Daddy bakit mo nagawa yun? Ganun na ba ako kababa para sayo? Ganun na ba ako ka weak para gawin mo yung bagay na yun? Hindi mo ba nakikita na sa tuwing magkasama kaming dalawa mas nasasaktan ako kasi mas umaasa ako sa mga bagay-bagay na hindi naman talaga posibleng mangyari? Paano pala kung hindi si Jacob yung papakasalan ko? Paano pala kung yung lalaking naiharap ko sa inyo pera lang ang habol? Dad mas nasasaktan ako ngayon kasi parang inulit mo lang yung ginawa mo noon sa akin. You always say that you trust me in every decision that I make, pero hindi, you still consider me as your little girl who's weak and cry baby." I was crying too. Nasasaktan ako para sa anak ko. Pero mas nasasaktan ako kasi hindi na pala si Jacob yung nagpapa-iyak sa kanya, ako na.

"Baby, I'm sorry. Let me make it up to you. Please?" I said while wiping away her tears.

"Dad please leave the country with mom. Let me take charge with every messed you've done." Napatingin ako sa mata ni Yue. I was shocked as her father never pa akong itinaboy ng sarili kong anak. But I understand her, it's my fault.

"Please dad. Promise me that you'll leave the country and let me fixed this things. I love you dad and I can't be mad at you. This lies that we both made, let's end this. I don't wanna hold unto Jacob and make him suffer." I don't know what to say. I just nod at her, she hugged me tight and said that she loves me. My heart melted with the thought that she has all the right to hurt me and tell all her displeasure about me and about the things that I did, but she never did. Maybe that's the reason why I decided to do foolish things that I must not have done. I stand up and helped her stand. We return to my office and saw my wife sitting still in the floor. Yue approached her and hug her tight.

"Anak, sorry. Sorry sa mga nagawa naming kasalanan sayo ng daddy mo." Mirai said while tears started to fall down from her face again.

"No mommy, it's not your fault. Hindi mo din kasalanan to dad. It's my fault. I there's one wish I could've ask yun yung sana napag'aaralan yung love. Yung kung hindi para sayo, eh 'di hindi. But I'm sorry mom, dad I just can't do that. But from this day onward pag aaralan ko. Hindi mo naman ako tatanggalan ng mana diba?" She smiled at me, I shrugged my head and hug my two treasure chest.

Yue's POV

Masakit parin para sa akin yung ginawa ni dad, pero dahil ama ko sya at anak nya lang ako, at alam kong dahil sa pagmamahal nya sa akin kaya nya nagawa yun, napatawad ko na rin sya. Aalis sila ni mommy the day after tomorrow kaya naman kakausapin ko na si Jacob sa paghihiwalay namin. Hindi ko alam kung paano sasabihin sa kanya na hindi peke yung kasal kaya pinaubaya ko na sa kaibigan ni daddy yung bagay na yun at mapa-walang bisa yung kasal namin. I'm on my way to our condo. I'm on my way to saying goodbye.
