My Ex Is Pert; The Expert

Ex-Pert 5 •Pera nga ba?•

Grace

Pang isang linggo na namin ngayon sa ospital and I just withdraw seventy thousand from my bank account when my father called.

"Napapadalas yata ang pagkuha mo ng pera ah." Pangbungad niya, the fact that he's my father, all my necessities had his power. You know, he has his own connection, and that includes my bank account.

"Saan mo gagamitin yang mga pera na'yan? Don't tell me you needed those huge money every single day." His voice tone implies authority. He's not that strict naman when I was young but he eventually became one. Perhaps he changed since the day I made an 'incredible mistake', if that what he means. He really sees that as a caution and my life really needs control.

"Grace, you still there?" He said interrupting the silence while Im still thinking for somewhat, an excuse or more like a valid reason.

"Uhm, Im planning to put up a bussiness pa. You know, I need the money for my capital." I lied, keeping my normal voice. I know my dad and he's anger towards a person could last forever. Sa katunayan nga ayaw niyang makita ko dito sina Nay Ising at Mang Ben, he even told everyone not to inform them that Im coming back here. But little did he know that Im planning to live with them again, and that's what Im doing right now. Ewan ko nga ba kong bakit hanggang ngayon galit parin siya sa dalawa. Although wala naman silang ginawang masama, my dad keeps on insisting, that what they did was a complete toleration and he keeps on saying that they don't have the right to replaced his responsibilities because what happened was our personal problem and their involvement would be the caused to raised it even bigger. Kaya it's temporarily better not to tell him the truth, he'll be going to find this out naman e. But I'll be making myself sure na okay na si Mang Ben bago niya malaman 'to. Other than that, they needed help and even they're not telling me this, I know that they needed me the most.

"You receded money from your account several times Grace. I doubt if that's really for your business." He said unconvinced.

"Pa naman, I'll buy materials pa and will rent an area or would possibly buy a lot. Besides those moneys can help naman, not just to your daughter but to others." I exclaimed lowering my voice, if only he knows that what I said had a double meaning.

I heard him sighed on the other line. "Don't ever make some decisions beyond my limits Grace. You definitely know what I could possibly do if this thing will be going to disappointment again. You know Im clearing these things out Grace so it's better to get better." I could imagine his face right now, but I stood still not letting myself drown on these nostalgic memories Im feeling.
