Chapter 11
"Both of you are grounded!" mariing sabi ni Dani.
Nagulat naman si Lowiee.
"What? Me too!?" napatingin sya sa kanyang mga magulang at matalim na tinitigan sya ng mga ito.
"Yes, you too." ani ni Louis.
"But it's all Dafnhie's fault!"
Agad na nilingon sya ng dalaga. Akala nilang lahat ay magkaka stiff neck ito dahil sa biglang pagbalikwas ng leeg nito.
"I thought it's your fault? Remember, you said if you didn't agree-"
"Wait. Wait. Wait. That's because nandon na tayo sa situation na yon! And no one said na may grounded segment na magaganap!"
Nasa Angeles residence silang lahat ngayon.
Matapos ang masayang pananghalian kanina ng dalawa sa simbahan ay medyo humupa na din ang malakas na ulan at hangin kaya naman nagbyahe na rin sila pabalik. Hindi pa sila nakakalayo sa bayan ng simbahan ng Sta. Rita ay nakasalubong nila ang ang ilang sasakyan at sakay nito ang ilan sa body guards ng Angeles at Dela Vega. Kagabi pa rin pala ito bumiyahe upang sunduin sila nang sabihin ni Lowiee sa Ninong Dani nya kung saan talaga sila pumunta. Ngunit na stuck din ang mga ito dahil sa baha at ulan kaya hindi sila nasundo kaya naman kanina nung bumabyahe ito para puntahan na sila ay nakasalubong nila ang mga ito.
Ang ama naman ni Dafnhie ay nakapag book ng flight kanina lamang mula Singapore pabalik ng bansa. Agad silang ipinatawag ni Dani sa opisina nito at dinatnan din nila doon ang mga magulang ni Lowiee.
"Mom and Dad, nothing happened. I took care of Dafnhie and myself. We are safe and sound-"
"Stop with your reasons. Two of you are grounded 'til Saturday night." Louis
"And Dafnhie, you are not allowed to go back in that place." sabi ng kanyang ama. Napa kunot noo si Dafnhie sa sinabi nito.
"What are we? Fourteen? We are in our early twenties, and why am I not allowed to go back there? You can't-"
"If you still want to go outside of this house, you'll do as I say. I don't care if you stop attending the university Dafnhie. But you're not going back to that place anymore." mariin nitong sabi at saka lumabas ng office.
Susunod na din dapat ang mag asawa ngunit napahinto si Louis.
"Let's make it 'till Sunday night."
"NOOO!" agad na sigaw ni Lowiee pero hindi sya pinansin ng mga ito at lumabas na din. Naiwan ang dalaga at binata sa loob.
"Dmn. We have a car racing on Sunday night!" Sabi niya sa dalaga.
"Shut the fck up, Justinsht... Didn't you hear what the old man just said? He threatened me not to go in that place anymore."
Natigilan ang binata. "That's right. Baka naman kasi dahil sobrang nag alala sya sayo? Hindi mo ba nakita sa mukha ni Ninong Dani kung gaano sya ka stress? Baka natatakot lang sya na bumalik ka doon mag isa at wala kang kasama para tumulong sayo. To be honest, even I, I don't know what's running inside your head. Your next move is hard to predict."
"Or maybe because there's something there that he doesn't want me to know about."
Hindi alam ni Lowiee ngunit ng sabihin iyon ni Dafnhie ay agad na pumasok sa isip nya ang madre na kumausap sa kanya kanina.
"Let's not think about that for now, okay? We don't have plans to go back there anyway, tulungan mo na lang ako kung paano ko makaka takas para maka attend ng car racing." sinamaan lang sya ng tingin ng dalaga at marahas na tinapakan ang kanyang kanang paa bago ito tuluyang lumabas mula sa kwartong iyon.
