Having The Strings Of Love

Chapter 39

Jisha's POV

"Dad... If we're gonna talked about me and Rencel then it's a no. I've already grown up. Why can't you accept my decision?" Bungad ko pagkapasok sa limousine ni daddy.

Imunwestra niya sa driver na magdrive kaya nataranta ako.

"Dad, I need to be here. Rencel is–"

"Jisha! This is not the right time to talk about that bastard! We'll talk about your upcoming wedding..." Sabi ni mommy.

"What? No way! Hindi ako magpapakasal kay Welsed! Did he forced you? Did he gave you proposals?! Dad! Mom! Mahal ko si Rencel. Mahal ko siya mom–"

"He will used you for their company's benefit! Sisirain ka niya hija! He's doing this for their business. Hindi ka niya mahal! Anong malay natin kung inutusan siya ng mga magulang niya para saktan ka? They knew that you are very precious to us same with Juish. Please hija, be understanding..."

Umiling ako. No one can ever beat my decision. This is my life and I have the rights to maneuver it. Mahal ko si Rencel at ipaglalaban ko na siya ngayon.

"No. He loves me. Not for busines or anything. Alam ko mom, mahal ako ni Rencel. Mahal niya ako. Please nagmamakaawa ako dad, mom. If you really treasure me as your daughter, please let me be independent. Please let me drive my own life..."

I cried while they're looking at me mercilessly. I gave them my pleading eyes. Unang umiwas si mama habang si papa ay walang emosyong nakatingin sa akin.

"How do you sure that he really loves you hija?" Dad said in a monotone.

I gulped. I smiled and wiped my tears.

"He surely loves me. He's true to his words and I believe him dad. I knew Rencel for years, he didn't change dad. He's still the honorable man I've ever known and he'll do what he promised... Believe me dad, he's a good man..."

"And what about Welsed? He also loves you. What will you do to him?"

Nag-iba ang timpla ko nang banggitin ang pangalan ni Welsed. He's my friend pero ang ginawa niyang 'to ang hindi ko kayang tanggapin.

"He's just my friend. I love him as my friend. I'll talk to him. Please dad, I want to marry Rencel..."

Napalingon sa akin si mommy. Taas ang kilay at nakaawang ang bibig. Parang hindi makapaniwala sa sinabi ko. I bit my tongue looking back at her.

"That's it? I want him for you! He's more responsible, hindi ka niya sasaktan at mas lalong hindi namin siya kaaway!"

"Jean!"

My eyes pooled with tears. I looked at my dad who's massaging his temple while my mom was giving me disappointed looks.

"What? It is true! Starreds are our mortal enemies when it comes to business... We shouldn't meddle with them!"

"It's your war! Not us! Hindi kami kasama sa inyo! We love each other please let us mom. Ayusin na natin ang gulong 'to dahil wala tayong mapapala dito..."

"No no no no darling. Enemies are always enemies and business is always business. And I'm sorry hija, you both are part of it..."

Napairap ako at pabalang na sumandal sa upuan ko. Napahilamos ako sa sobrang frustration. Why can't mom understand that we are not part of their war! This is not about their fight! It's about us...

"We'll think about this. I should talk to Willy about this..."

Umiling si mommy, "if you'll stop the wedding, I will never ever forgive you honey!"
