Meet The Cold Princess

Zyra Lianne Alvarrezz

(Tok-Tok)

"Who is it?" Tanong ko habang pahiga pa lang ako sa kama ko.

"Good Evening Princess, can I come in?"

"Sure. You may come in, Butler." Binuksan niya na ang pinto ko at pumasok. Nag-bow pa siya sa'kin gaya ng lagi niyang ginagawa.

"So, what is it now? Tell me already. You know how much I hate someone disturbing my bed time, Butler, right?"

"I'm sorry to disturb your sleeping time Princess, but Mr. Alvarrezz wants to talk to you." Biglang uminit ang ulo ko sa sinabi niya.

"Ugh! It's already late in the evening. What does he want?" Irita kong tanong sakanya. I really hate the fact na alam niyang ayoko nang may nang gugulo sa'kin pag matutulog na'ko. Pero ayan pa 'rin gusto niya pa akong makausap.

"Here Princess, ask your Dad." Sabay abot sa'kin ng phone. Kinuha ko agad at cinomposed ang sarili ko.

"Okay. Thank you Butler, you can leave now." Tumango naman siya at nag-bow ulit bago lumabas. Huminga muna ako ng malalim bago magsalita.

"What now, Dad?" Ganda ng pambungad kong tanong 'no? Hindi 'Hello' o 'Hi' well masanay na kayo.

"Zyra, show some respect! I'm still your Dad young lady!" Sigaw niya sa'kin kaya nilayo ko agad sa tainga ko yung phone. Aray ha. Basag ang eardrums ko. Okay, fine. Sabi ko nga eh. 'Show some respect daw eh' Psh! Bakit pa kasi kailangan manigaw, diba?

"Fine Dad. What do you want this time?" Tanong ko sakanya. Ugh! I want this conversation to be over now, but how? Damn it! I just want to have a good night sleep for pete's sake! Ilang araw na'kong walang matinong tulog. Ganon na ba ka-importante ang kailangan nito sa'kin? To the point na pati pag tulog ko gambalahin pa?

"Come back home, Princess." Seryoso niyang sabi sa'kin. Napatayo naman ako bigla sa pagkakahiga ko. Ramdam kong umakyat lahat ng dugo ko sa ulo ko ngayon eh. Just what the hell!

"What? Seriously, Dad? Tatawagan mo'ko in the middle of the night telling me to come home and for what reason, huh? Damn it! I'm out. This conversation is over and I'm not going home." Bakit ngayon pa niya naisipan pauwiin ako kung kailan nag-eenjoy na'ko dito sa Korea? I have my own goddamn life here.

"Just do what I told you to do. No more buts and no more excuses, young lady. You should be here by tomorrow morning and that's final or else..." Yan nanaman ang or else, or else ni Daddy. Walang katapusan na pananakot.

"Or else what, Dad, huh?" Matabang kong sagot sakanya. Ano pa bang pananakot ang gagawin sa'kin nito? Damn. I've had enough of this.

"Or else hindi kita padadalhan ng allowance mo. I'll cut my connections with you and everything. Most especially your credit cards and all you have there, kahit 'yang rest house natin dyan na pinag-stayan mo ngayon. Until there's nothing left for you to stay there anymore. And maybe the worst part there is you'll be grounded for the rest of your life with no money. How about that?" Damn it! Grounded for the rest of my life? Ano ako, bata? Shit this! Okay, fine! Alam na alam niya talaga kung paano manakot. Infairness effective siya, sobrang effective badtripin ako. Insert my sarcasm tone there.
