You Made Me Cry

Untitled Part 2

'...Got you shackeled in my embrace,
I won't let go of you...

Napatigil ako sa pagsasoundtrip nang makarinig ako ng katok.

"Pasok po..." Sigaw ko nang makarinig ng katok.

I don't really lock the door so my family would know that they can trust me. I'm a good daughter, aren't I?

"Iujn, iha. Pinapatawag ka ng dad mo. Nasa office nya siya kasama mommy mo."

(Iujn=yuan)

Nanlaki mata ko sa narinig ko. Hala! Baka nalaman ni dad na medyo nakipagsapakan ako sa kaklase ko kahapon. Napasapo ako sa noo ko sa mga naririnig ko. Pano kaya kung nalaman ni dad? Lilipat nanaman kaya ako ng school... Huhuhu

"Ah- eh manang!" Sigaw ko bago pa man maidura ng pinto si manang palabas.

"Hmm?"

"May sinabi po ba kayo ni dad sa nakita nyo po kahapon ni mang Gio na ginawa ko?" Naiiyak kong sabi.

Ang totoo kasi nyan takot talaga ko kay dad, sobra sobra sobrang higpit nya talaga sa fighting skills ko. Sabi niya kasi that I'm supposed to be acting a lady not a warrior in a war. Eh sa nature na talaga namin ang mga warrior eh.

Nasa mga police academy mga kuya ko and the fact that I have lived my whole entire life with men, they should not expect seeing a lady in me though I still have my manners after all.

"Ah-eh- hin---" hindi na natuloy ni manag ang sasabihin nya nang biglang binuga ng laptop ko ang malakas at galit na boses ni dad kaya napalingon kami ng mabilis.

"Kristine! Bumaba ka na ngayon mismo!" Nakakabinging sigaw ni dad bago pa man mamatay ang laptop ko.

Nanlumo ako sa nakita ko at narinig ko. Halata kay dad na galit siya. Awww. Lagot nanaman ako nito. Napayuko na lang akong lumabas sa kwarto ko.

Napahinto ako nang hawakan ako ni manang sa kamay kaya napalingon ako sa kanya.

"Iha, wala kaming sinabi sa tatay mo. Pangako, pero kilala mo ang tatay mo. Wala siyang hindi nalalaman tungkol sayo." Sabi niya at saka ngumiti.

"Alam ko po manang, salamat po sa pagtago ng sikreto ko." Sabi ko at saka ngumiti din bago ko pa sya iwan.

Pano ba naman kasi si manang ay pinagkakatiwalaan ko pero pinagkakatiwalaan din siya ni dad. Haaay.

Napabuntong hininga na lang ako sa sinasabi ng utak ko. Sa totoo lang kasi, ako ang blacksheep sa pamilya. My brothers were really really classy and full of manners. They were more likely being called a man than a boy. They act like princes in kingdoms but there I was, acting like a commoner in their kingdom. Haaaay.

I'm very different from them. They always try teach me manners and etiquette but it's just not so me. Having fancy stilletos, putting light make ups, dressing like a luxurious woman, and going to upper-class's parties are just not so me. Daddy don't understand me, too. But my brother's do.

Though my brother's act so manly before my parents's eyes, they become childish whenever they're with me. And when I say childish, nakikipag-bakbakan din sila nang palihim, unlike me. They do it more in a suave way. But I really can't deny that they're really a good son to my parents and that's opposite to me.
Hindi ko napansin na nandito na pala ako sa office ni daddy. Pano ko nalaman? Syempre bahay namin to. Alangan namang hindi ko alam sa tagal kong nakatira dito.

Kumatok na ako at nagumpisa nanamang kumabog nang mabilis ang heart ko.

"Come in." Boses ni dad na halatang may di magandang mangyayari.

"Daaaaad! Sorry na hindi ko naman talaga gusto yung nangyari eeeeeh! Daaaaaad! Wa-aaaa-----" hindi ko na naituloy ang sinasabi ko at ang kunyaring pagiyak ko nang magsalita siya.

"You'll be marrying Mr. Agustus's son." He said in a cold voice.

"Er-- what?!" I exclaimed in frustration.

I can't believe this! They are really selling me to someone I barely know?! Alam ko namang bad daughter ako but that's not enough reason na ibenta nila ako no! Ayan naiiyak ako. How could they?

Napatakip ako ng mukha dahil ayokong makita nila akong umiiyak.

"Before you cry, daughter. Let me give you a little wager."

"Eh?"

"If you will marry his son, I will let you got into any fight you want. Money, supply and others are on me, plus you can have your own money. I'll give you 50,000 per day until you get married two months away then the money supply will stop. One more, you must always protect Mr. Agustus's son thus you can have time to know him. Also includes, I'll let you use my computer for hacking anything that is all about his son." He said non-stop.

"Deal." I said quickly.

Mahirap na baka bawiin nya pa yung 50,000 a day no! Hahaha! Mabait naman pala itong si dad kahit papaano.

"Meron pa ba dad?" Tanong ko.
Hehehe baka kasi dagdagan pa.

"Yes, if you started your work later immediately and swiftly. I'll double the offer. Perhaps triple if you want." He replied with a childish smirk.

"Triple. Deal! Right away."

At bago pa siya makapagsalita naisarado ko na ang pinto palabas sa office niya. Hihihi. Ang saya naman pala ng gagawin ko. Babysit lang naman pala eh! I coul do it in no time.

Bumalik na ako sa kwarto ko at umpisang nagcalculate ng sinasabi ni dad na 150,000 per day. Para saan? Secret. Personal reasons.

Ay oo nga pala! Kailangan kong tanungin si dad kung sino ang babantayan at aalagaan ko, inshort ibi-babysit ko for the mean time.

Dali-dali akong lumabas ng kwarto ko at bumalik sa office ni dad.

Pagpasok ko sa kwarto nia, I saw my mom's beautiful sad face that seems to be very worried about something, or someone while my dad is relaxing her.

"Uhm. Am I interupting, mom? Dad?" I asked as a respect.

"No, dearest. What is it?" Asked dad.

"Uh, dad. Sino nga pala ang babantayan ko?"

"It's Grey Arfaxhard Agustus. He is the same age as yours and really apposite of you."

"Uh, was that supposed to be insulting me dad? Cause if yes, that really does insulted me." I said with my semi-bitch look.

"Hahaha! No daughter. But Kristine, please be extra careful, okay? I don't want my only daughter to get herself in a life and death matter. Okay?" He worriedly said.

"Be careful, my baby. Okay?" Mommy added.

"Yes, mom. Yes, dad." I'll be careful." I replied and smiled sweetly to them before I exit.

Hmmm. Grey Arfaxhard Agustus huh? Halatang richkid pangalan pa lang. Gwapo naman kaya? Malamang, Iujn! Mayaman eh. Halatang maimpluwensya. Plus Agustus siya. Agustus's are known to have a god-like physique. Yeah, I met one when I was a kid but he never told me his name or perhaps I didn't just able to ask it.

Well, Agustus's are also known as womanizer. Hell, I care? I barely fall in live for boys yah all know?
