The Contract (Rule: Dont Fall Inlove)

14

Habang nag aalmusal kami ni Dani nakatanggap siya ng tawag mula sa parents niya at pinapunta siya sa bahay nila.

Hindi ko inaasahan ang mga mangyayari ngayon. Nakakatakot ng sobra.

Nagbyahe kami papunta sa bahay nila at sobrang kabado ako. Dumeretso kami sa study room.

Ang laki ng bahay nila at sobrang lawak ng garden. Talagang mayamang pamilya. Sa tingin ko may tatlong palapag ang bahay nila.

Kumatok na siya sa pinto at nang marinig ang boses na nagsasabing pumasok ay pumasok na rin kami. Hawak niya ang kamay ko. Sobra akong kabado ang nginitian niya ako at nag mouth work na 'everythings going to be fine'

"Danielle, I missed you so much!" malambing na bati ng mom niya at niyakap siya. Kasunod nung ay lumapit siya sa dad niya at yumakap.

Ang ganda ng mom niya. Kung titingnan mo para lang siyang nasa 30 years old ang postora niya at ang dad niya ang gwapo mala artista at kahawig nito si Dani.

"I missed you both too." sagot niya dito.

Napatingin sakin ang mama niya na ikinatakot ko dahil sa mapanuri nitong tingin.

"Oh, Mom and Dad. I would like you to meet my girlfriend Gazelle, Babe my parents." masayang pakilala ni Dani.

"Good morning po." nahihiya kong bati.

Buntong hininga lang sa magulang niya ang narinig ko. I knew that they would surely don't like me.

"Danielle.. This is the reason we came home. We disapprove this. Let's just be straight to the point and I know she'll know this too." derestsong sabi ng mom niya.

"I know you would say so." cold na sabi ni Dani.

"But why you still do this despite you know that we will disagree! You deserve better Dani and we want the best for you.." dugtong ng mom niya at sa bawat salita nito ay ang panliliit ko.

"She the best for me Mom. I love Gazelle and she's the one I want to be with. Look, you want me to change and here I am. She's the first woman I brought here and I am serious on this!" cold parin ang boses niya pero halatang seryoso.

"We accept you sexual preference Danielle, but we never expect this to happen. How about Vera, Matilde or Miranda? Those high class girls like you so much why don't you give them a chance?"

"Mom, are you serious that you are talking like that infront of my woman?" iritableng sabi nito. "I guess this is not the right time to talk about this." hinawakan ni Dani ang kamay ko.

"This is always the right time Dani. Whatever happens, we disapprove her." Biglang sabi ng dad niya.

"Im not a puppet! I will do what I want! Gazelle is the only one I want to be with not any of those girls." inis na sabi ni Dani.

Biglang may nilabas na envelop ang dad niya.

"I run an investigation on her.."

"She's not the right one for you honey." sabi ng mom niya. "She has nothing and she can't help you. Dani you are a heiress, you will run our company and you need a partner that knows about the business not a poor woman." nakakinsultong sabi ng mom niya.

"Stop it!" inis na sabi ni Dani.

"She is jobless! Now tell me kung hindi lang pera ang habol niya sayo! Ganyan ang mga mahihirap na tao at parang hindi mo yan alam Danielle! Even her parents dont have work!"

"I want her to quit her job because I need her!"

"So kaya pinag aaral mo siya!"

"That's my money and I will do what I want with my money! I have my plans that will benefit myself. You don't know anything. Sabagay lagi naman kayong wala kaya wala kayong alam sa nangyayari sa buhay ko. Gano ko ba kayo kadalas makasama, once a year? Gano niyo ako kadalas kamustahin? kapag may iuutos? Kapag may nagawang mali?"
