Chapter 01
*Angeles' Residence
"NO. NO. NO!" I don't need anyone, I'm happy on my own, thank you very much!
"Lowiee is the son of a good friend, you need someone, just think of him as your companion."
"Define companion Dad."
"Dafnie- "
"Just stop, admit it, you want to tail me again with another watchdog! Son of a good friend? You mean a security buddy to watch me so he can report all my actions to you. Guard my every move and clean all my 'dirty deeds' so I can be the best example of a 'perfect daughter' of Angeles Co.! Bravo!"
"That's not it. Lowiee is like- you'll know him... But he's not what you think. I just want someone to be with you. I don't like seeing you alone."
"I'm happy being alone."
"You know I love-"
"Shut up! Shut up! Stop with that crap! Do you think I enjoy being like this? Do you think I wanted to be like this!? Angry with everything!? Mad at this world!? If you just... If you didn't kill my mom-"
"OH GOD! STOP! You're the one who should stop!" Dad shouted with tears in his eyes "God knows how much I value this family, you don't—"
"SHUT UP. Don't tell another lie, I don't want to hear it!"
I angrily said as I stormed out of his study room
"How can I forget?" I get up from my bed and I pick up the picture on my bedside table.
"You ruined everything, Dad... You killed my mom. She's the only one I have..."
*knock, knock*
"Ma'am ready na po ang dinner."
"I don't want to eat yaya and don't disturb me. I'm going to sleep."
*Dela Vega's Residence
"Daaaaadddddd~"
"Don't. Say. A. word"
I just smiled at him and didn't say anything like he told me to.
After a few minutes... "Okay... Ano na naman tong kahihiyang ginawa mo? Seriously? 3rd time mo na sa precinct this month. Oh god forbid, I might really crack that nut head of yours right this instant!"
"It's not that bad Dad. Y'know, I'm a 20-year-old college student who's just enjoying life!"
"And you enjoyed it by throwing a party inside the university, seriously, inside the university right before the semi-final examination with lots of booze and god knows what else!"
"Oops. No drugs! I promised!" I said as I winked at him.
"Make sure or else—"
"Nah. Nah. Nah" I answered while wagging my right index finger in front of his face. "Drugs not on my list, you should know that by now! Sex is on top though—"
*Pak! Pak! Pak!*
"Dad! Masakit! Ano ba! Ta-Tama na, o-ouch!"
Pigil ko sa kanya habang hinahampas nya ko ng kanyang golf club.
"How can you say that in front of your dad? Hah! You shameless brat! How dare you!"
"Dad! I love you! Just let it slide this time okay? I'll do better next time!"
"I'm tired of your next times and promises!" he shouted as he sat on his office chair. "Pack your things, the helicopter will be here at midnight."
"W-Wait... no way! Dad! You can't do that to me! I'm your one and only son!"
"I don't care Lowiee! You're giving me much trouble! I don't know if you're really smart or you're just screwed in the head."
"Dad, it's not that bad! The University just wanted to make it more controversial so you'll donate more! They also like to associate my name as always to make the Uni more trending!... It was just a party this time! With lil bit of alcohol on the side and maybe an orgy in the comfort room or something? I don't know, but I swear I'm not part of it! I was on the DJ station when the police arrived—"
I quickly stopped talking as he picked up his golf club again.
"You! Please, umalis ka muna sa harap ko Lowiee. Just please—"
"But dad, listen to me first..." I seriously said "You cannot send me to that deserted island. I will die, Dad. I don't have anything but the beach and coconut trees! You're surely going to miss me, there's no internet there. You cannot Facetime me—"
"I don't care! Ramon will take care of everything."
"Dad, I don't want to live with that old caretaker!"
"And you think that old man wants to live with you?"
"Just let it slide this time okay? Next time I will not throw a party inside the campus. I'll look for a more exciting venue."
"I-Ikaw bata ka.... LUMAYAS KA SA HARAP KO!"
