Marrying Gray (VIB SERIES # 2)

Kabanata 31

I inhaled when I received another call from Gray. I did not answer it but it keeps on ringing so I turned it off.

I lay down in my bed and darkness eat me up as I sleep.

"Anak... " I groaned when mom tap my shoulder and shake me up.

I slowly open my eyes and I saw my mom who's smiling at me.

Dahan-dahan akong umupo and I realized dad is here too together with mom.

"Anak nasa baba si Gray..." Sabi ni Mom

Agad akong kinabahan sa kanyang sinabi. 'Di pa ako handa paea harapin si Gray. Hindi ko alam kung ano ang magagawa ko pagnakaharap ko siya nasasaktan ako ng dahil sakanya. Nasasaktan ako na kasama niya ang ibang babae habang ako ay nasa bingit ng kamatayan.

"You should talk to your husband, Scarlet Aurora." Napatiim bagang siya nga marinig ang ama na nagsalita.

Why does it feels like her dad always push her to Gray even if Gray is the main reason why she's suffering in pain?

"Hon, you should understand Scarlet." Mom said to dad.

Bumuntong hininga ang kanyang ama habang tinitigan syang mabuti.

"I don't want to face him, Mom. He caused me pain..." mapait ang kanyang tinig habang sinasabi ang mga katagang iyon.

Ipinikit nya ang mga mata ng maalala ulit ang nangyari kahapon ang pagkahamak nya habang si Gray ay kasama lamang ang babae nitong si Drina.

Lumapit sa kanya ang daddy niya at umupo sa tabi nya.

"As much as I want to punch that guy for hurting you... " Napatingin siya sa dad niya, what her dad said shock her. His dad is concern, that's for sure.Well she's his only daughter. She hugged her dad.

"Dad... " Halos mapaiyak sya dahil sa sinabi nito.

"I hate all the things I have done but it's for your own good my princess. " Napa-iyak na siya dahil sa sinabi ng ama.

It's been a long time since her dad called her that way.

"You need to stay in Gray.He can assure your safety."Dad smiled at me.

Napakunot ng noo nya.What does her dad mean by 'safety' ngunit Hindi na lamang nya iyon pinansin.

"Come on Princess just talk with, Gray."Dad encourages me.

I look at mom and she nooded too.

I heaved a sigh before standing up

"Fine, just let me fix myself first"I said and go to the bathroom.

Ngimiti naman ang kanyang magulong bago sya iniwan.

"You can do this"pahayag ni scarlet sa sarili.-

I saw him sitting at our sofa with my mom and dad in front of him, They're serious.

"Next time always secure my daughters safety, young man. I choose you because your dad told me you can assure my daughters safety." Dad coldly said

Tumikhim ako and our gaze met.I saw a unknown expression in his eyes while looking at me.

Napakunot ang noo ko ng makitang may bandage ang kanan nitong braso na nagsasabing may sugat ito roon.

Where did he get that?

"Iiwan muna namin kayo, iho." Mom smiled at me before they leave

Kinain ng katahimikan ang sala. I close my eyes and sit in front of him.
