MIDNIGHT ENCOUNTER [Completed]

TON: 63

KABANATA 63
Vladimir's Point Of View

"Let me go! Damn it!" Why are they doing this to me?

Pilit akong kumakawala sa mahigpit na pagkakahawak sa akin ng mga tauhan ni lolo. Pinipigilan nila akong makalapit kay Ayumi.

"We need to go home, right now!" Matigas na turan ni lolo tyaka sapilitan na akong hinatak ng mga tauhan niya.

"No! Mom, Dad! Why are you not doing anything!?" I keep on shouting and I really don't care what others might say.

But my mom and dad just stood there as well as my siblings and then after a couple of minutes ay mabilis na silang sumakay sa kani-kanilang mga sasakyan pagkadating ng aming driver while I was stuck with my lolo in his own car. This is insane!

"What do you want?" Matabang kong tanong matapos kong sumuko sa pagpupumiglas at wala nang nagawa lalo pa nang magsimula na sa pag andar ang sasakyan ni lolo.

"The first family clan is back, you need to hurry and marry Leo's daughter," simple niyang saad na para bang inuutusan lang akong kumanta o sumayaw.

"Are you still not done with that fvcking engagement? Like what I have said, Ayumi is the only one for me----

"She's not Ayumi anymore! She's Nisakiru and she's from the first family, can't you understand that!?" Agad niyang pagpuputol sa dapat na sasabihin ko.

"I don't fvcking care! She's still Ayumi and she's mine!" Napapalakas na din ang boses ko.

"You don't understand, I'm just doing this for you and for our family. You need to stay away from her." Mariin pa niyang saad na siyang mas lalong ikinairita ko.

"Paano kong maiintindihan kung hindi mo naman pinapaintindi, ni wala kang sinasabi kung ano ba talagang binabalak mo. Damn it lolo! Just fvcking tell me so I can understand!" Saan ba talaga nanggagaling ang mga desisyon niyang to?

"The third family is the real traitor, they pretended to be us during that incident before. That Leo has an evil plan, mayroon siyang hawak na ebidensiyang magtuturo sa pamilya natin bilang salarin sa nangyari noon. He keeps on blackmailing me na kapag hindi mo pinakasalan ang anak niya ay ilalabas niya ang lahat ng ebidensiyang hawak niya at iyon ang ikababagsak natin." Naikuyom ko ang aking kamao dahil sa narinig.

"This is not fair lolo, we are not the culprit! Bakit tayo ang kailangang magsakripisyo at bakit ako? No! Hindi ako papayag sa gusto niyo. We can just prove na hindi tayo ang may kasalanan----

"But how!? We've been gathering evidences for how many years now but that issue is still hunting us." T-That's true but we can't just give up now.

"I know for sure that the first family were also blaming us and Ayumi is a member of them, no! She's not just a mere member but the real heiress, and for them you are a threat to their princess." Dagdag pa ni lolo na siyang ikinatahimik ko.

But... I love her for real. I love Ayumi more than my life, can't they accept that?

"I love her lolo.... I-I love her so much." I can't contain myself anymore. Mabilis na nag unahan sa pagtulo ang mga luha ko. This is so painful for me.

"I know and I'm sorry," my lolo then hug me. This is the first time he did that and I can feel his sincerity.

I remained silent after that talk until we reached our mansion. Pagkarating sa bahay ay walang lingon-lingon akong dumiretso papunta sa sarili kong kwarto kahit pa narinig kong tinatawag ako nila mom sa may sala para siguro kausapin but I'm not in the mood right now, I need to think. Alam kong hindi pa huli ang lahat, hindi ako pwedeng basta nalang sumuko.
