Decision
"Don't let the bastard come near here. Kung kailangan niyo siyang kaladkarin paalis, gawin niyo. Huwag niyo siya hahayaang makapasok at makita ang anak ko. That guy won't ever see my daughter again."
Saniela could hear her father's firm and dominating voice. Her eyes kept closed. Ramdam niya ang mabibigat na takulap ng mga mata.
Slowly she opened her eyes. The plain white ceiling bursted upon her sight and the pharmaceutical smell of the room lingered her nose. Then she remembered the memories before and after she saw Katya lose control to the car. Napamura siya isipan. She thought she was going to die, damn it! Mabuti nalang at hindi ganoon kalubha ang natamo nilang aksidente.
Her head bunted in pain. Sinapo niya ito nang dahan-dahan gamit ang libreng kamay at bahagyang napapikit. She released a low groan when she felt her head throbbed in sudden ache. Her left arm was even casted.
"Saniela!" Bulalas sa pangalan niya ng kanyang ama na nagmadaling lumapit patungo sa kanya.
"How are you feeling? Tatawag ako ng doctor para matignan ka."
"Huwag na..." Tipid siyang umiling. She can feel the rough fabric of the bandage on her head.
"No. You need to get check." Pagmamatigas ng kanyang ama.
Hindi niya ito pinansin sa halip ay nagtataka niyang pinasadahan ng tingin ang ama na mayabang na nakatayo sa kanyang gilid.
"What are you doing here? Hindi ba't nasa Bordeaux ka?" Her question made his father's eyes squint in mix rage, confusion, and bullshit. Nagkrus ito ng mga braso sa dibdib at mataman siyang tinitigan.
"Are you being sarcastic, sweetheart? I immediately flew here once I heard the news. And don't look at me like that, I can lose the advertisement but not you." Her father's eyes soften.
Nanubig ang mga mata ni Saniela sa sinabi ng ama. Hearing from his father the fact that he can't lose her blasted extreme joy in her total system. Kailangan lang pala niyang dumaan sa peligro bago nito masabi sa kanya ang mga katagang iyon! Goodness, dapat pala matagal na niyang binunggo ang sasakyan niya sa poste!
"Dalawang araw kang tulog. You know how to scare me, huh?" Umupo ito sa kanyang tabi. She just watched him.
"Bata ka palang sinasabi mo na sa'kin na gusto mong tumira sa nagsosnow na lugar. You wanted to come with me in France, sweetheart? Doon nalang tayo kasama ang lolo mo."
Natigilan siya sa sinabi ng ama. His surmount voice was incorporated with please.
"Dad..." mahina niyang banggit. Nais niyang umiling.
If he was going to ask her the same question months ago she would immediately say yes without a doubt. No questions asked. But now is different. Very different. Si Keegan palang ay sapat na rason na para manatili siya.
Gradually, her Dad's eyes reflected resentment and disapproval.
"Is it because of that bastard?" Madiing tanong ng kanyang ama.
She halted in both surprise and bewilder. Is he talking about Keegan?
"Seriously, Saniela? Nagpadala ka sa lalaking iyon? You're having too great a readiness to believe things. That Arciago was just using you for fuck's sake! He wanted to see me suffer for carrying his belief that I killed his grandfather! Pero ang totoo, binabaligtad lang ng pamilya nila ang lahat para tabunan ang ginawa nilang krimen sa mama at lola mo! Their family killed them, Saniela. Ang pamilya ng lalaking hindi mo magawang iwan ay ang dahilan kung bakit wala ang mama at lola mo ngayon sa tabi mo."
