A/n: Just a short update!! ☺☺☺Chapter 23: Alta Casta Out; Rosello In
'What's the meaning of this?" I cried out as I saw the line of travelling bags inside my room. I just came out from the hospital and we're on our house now to get some of my things, or so my dad says. I just never thought that this 'some' would mean a mountain of loads.
"I'm only transferring to a school which is just nearly five kilometers away from this house. I'm not going to travel the whole world around, so why bother bringing these heavy loads, Dad?" I was throwing the question like a daughter who's never been aware of her father's plans. Wait, do I even know some of his plans? He had never discuss anything from me!
Dad signalled some of his men to carry the bags and they all disappeared as soon as their carrier exited the room. Dad made sure that no one's here anymore except us before speaking.
"You're going to stay at a house near the school." He said with his imperative tone. It's like he's giving me no chance to complain but to comply with his commandments.
"Dad!" I shouted. I sighed in frustration and ran my fingers through my hairs. "Are you just sending me away from this home?"
"Yes I am." He answered rather casually. I couldn't tell from his expression whether he's being extremely serious or just waiting to burst out laughing once he made me realized this was all a joke. But the former one has a strong possibilty than the latter and that made me disappointed.
I closed my eyes and bit my lips to prevent nyself from going ballistic. He took all his time to search for me and took me in and now he's trying to send me off? Just what kind of father he is?
"Why?" The only word that escaped from my lips as I couldn't say the things that were on my mind.
"Because you have to. That's the safest place for you." He replied with an austere expression.
"Am I not safe here?" I asked, contradicting his statement.
"No, you're not. There's a lot of danger with my line of work. I just don't want you to be involve with it." He explained softly. Why does it seem to me that he could easily change his expressions?
"I can protect myself, Dad." I expressed myself with confidence.
"No you can't." He contradicted. "You have beem wandering off in Alta Casta and you got yourself in danger. I can't let you do that again!" He warned me.
"Then I'll be in more danger once I go to Rosello. You're not there to look after me." I reacted, directly opposing him. I could say that I'm being rude to my own father right now. It was still a great surprise to me that he never once reprimand me for my attitude towards him.
"There'll be someone who'll do that part."
His statement taken me aback. "Who?" I asked, despite of the confusion.
