Chapter 1
Via
"Good morning, princess." My father greeted me when I opened my eyes.
"D-dad?" hindi makapaniwalang usal ko. He's here...I can't believe it. My tears started to fall, my father is here. "I'm sorry, daddy. I'm so sorry." Niyakap ko siya ng napakahigpit na parang doon nakadepende ang buhay ko. I missed him so much.
"Sshh...it's ok, princess I'm going to make that bastard pay for hurting my princess."
"Daddy..." iyak ko. Nagkagalit kami ni Dad tatlong buwan na ang nakakaraan, nalaman kasi niya na nambabae si Tariq, he wants me to leave my husband pero hindi ako pumayag sa gusto niya, we had a heated argument, nagalit siya sa akin dahil hinahayaan ko daw na gawin akong tanga ni Tariq. He made me choose, if I stay with my husband, he will disown me at napakasakit noon but I still chose my husband because that time nagbabago na si Tariq, he started to treat me better hindi na niya ako pinagbubuhatan ng kamay pero heto na naman, bigla siyang nanlamig, bumalik siya sa dati, this time pati anak namin ay muntikan ng mawala.
Pinakawalan ako ni Daddy. "Don't cry, my princess. I won't let that bastard hurt you again." Sabi niya habang pinupunasan ang aking luha pero lalo akong naiyak ng makita kong may luhang tumulo sa mata ni Daddy. "I'll make him pay."
Umiling ako, ayoko na, ayoko na ng away, I just want to leave, I just want to have a peaceful life with my child.
"I don't want complication, Dad ayoko ng gulo."
"No, Via. Kakasuhan natin ang gagong iyon, I will make his life miserable."
"Please, dad no..." I pleaded. "He is still the father of my child."
"Tatay ng batang muntikan ng mawala ng dahil sa kaniya." Tiim bagang na sabi ni Daddy.
"I know pero nag-usap na kami, pumayag na siyang makipaghiwalay. Dad, magpafile na kami ng annulment at uuwi na ako sa Seattle."
"Annulment? Maghihiwalay kayo tapos ano? Hahayaan mo lang ang gagong 'yon na parang wala siyang ginawa sa'yo? No, Via! That man should pay!" Kita ko sa mata ng tatay ko ang galit na kaniyang nararamdaman. My father is sweet and kind man but still a ruthless one kapag ginalit ito. There are times na naririnig ko ang mga tito ko na sinasabing pinakademonyo sa kanila ang tatay ko kapag nagalit. "You are a Montier for pete's sake! You deserve the best! You are my most priceless jewel and that man tainted you, hurt you at hahayaan ko lang?!" sigaw ni Dad.
"Raze!!" biglang natahimik si Dad nang pumasok sa loob si Mommy. "Calm down, will you? Hindi pwedeng mai-stress ang anak mo." My mother said.
"Dad...gusto ko na lang pong lumayo...gusto ko na lang umalis. I want to leave this country peacefully."
"Fine." Matigas na turan ng aking ama.
Tariq
"Stand up, a*shole!!" Rinig kong sigaw ng biyenan ko habang nakasubsob ako sa sahig. Hindi na ko makatayo dahil sa sobrang sakit ng aking katawan. "You think I'll just keep my cool knowing that you hurt my daughter?! F*ck you!"
"Tama na yan, Raze! T*ngina! Mapapatay mo na yan." Enzio Montier said.
"Stop it, Raze." I heard Xenovia's soft voice. Pilit kong iminulat ang aking mata, nakita kong papalapit sa amin si Xenovia.
"What are you doing here?" My father-in-law said.
"Your daughter will not be please kapag nalaman niya ang ginawa mo." Sabi ni Xenovia
"Hindi niya malalaman kung walang magsasabi sa kaniya."
Pilit kong nilalabanan ang hilong aking nararamdaman pero talagang hindi ko na kinaya. The next day I found myself in a hospital suite with Xenovia in it.
"Good thing you're awake. Your mother will be here any minute. Aalis. na ko." Tumayo siya kapagkuwan ay tumalikod na sa akin.
"I'm sorry." Mahinang sabi ko, ramdam ko ang sakit ng bugbog ng tatay ni Via.
Humarap siya sa akin and I saw anger and disappointment on her face.
"I'm mad at you, Tariq. How dare you do that to my daughter? Why did you do that?"
"To spite you."
Kumunot ang kaniyang noo. "To spite me?"
"Yes, because I hate you. I hate you because my father loves you na hanggang sa huli niyang hininga ay ikaw ang minamahal niya. My mother did nothing but to love him and yet ikaw pa rin hanggang dulo." Umupo ako sa kama kahit hirap na hirap ako. "Ano bang meron sa'yo at hindi ka magawang kalimutan ng tatay ko? And why didn't you choose him before?" I read the all the letters na naglalaman ng mga dapat kong malaman.
"Wala akong dapat ipaliwanag sa'yo, Tariq. What happened between me and your father is none of your concern, matagal ng panahon iyon."
"It is my concern! Nasasaktan ang nanay ko dahil mahal ka ng tatay ko, nasaktan ko ang anak mo dahil sa galit ko." A lone tear escaped on my eye. "F*ck it! I hurt the woman I love because I was blinded...nabulag ako sa galit ko sa'yo at sa tatay ko, I hurt my wife, I hurt my child."
"I loved your father." She said.
"Then why?"
"Aren't you glad na nandito ka sa mundong ito? Kung kami ni Trevor ang nagkatuluyan, wala ka dito at wala ka ring Via na sinasaktan ngayon." She looked at me with so much disgust. "Hurting my daughter is the biggest mistake you did Tariq Ledesma and if Trevor is alive, I'm sure he will disown you because he raised a jerk that surpasses him in that forte."
Iniwan niya ako pagkatapos niyang sabihin iyon. I suddenly remembered my father.
"I accepted the faith that I already lost her heart at kahit kailan ay hindi ko na iyon mahahanap pang muli dahil pag-aari na ito ng iba. So do me a favor, my son...don't hurt your woman ayaw kong dumating ang panahon na magsisi ka tulad ko. I don't want you to feel the same pain I felt when I saw how happy she is with another man."
My father lost Xenovia's heart when he hurt her and just like him I lost the heart of the woman I love.
My sweet Via.
