Destiny and our Beyond (Alfiera Series #1)

Thirty One

Still

"Ms. Silvestre, nasa taas na po ang Daddy niyo." saad ng secretary ni daddy kaya naman umakyat na ako agad.

I don't know what to feel right now, I don't have nothing to say about what happened that night. a year pass by, the pain still remain to me.

But for now, I have to move forward. hindi pwedeng sa pag-ibig lamang iikot ang buhay ko. if I'll continue to chase something is not for me, it will drain me. hindi ko na ipipilit pa ang pag-ibig na hindi para sa akin.

He choose to continue his goals without me so am I. kinaya niyang mag move on, bakit hindi ko kakayanin? ang hirap lang isipin na, nakausad na ang lahat pero nananatili pa rin ako sa pait ng nakaraan.

"Sixty percent share of our properties for Cylander is a big insult to me as your own daughter. Daddy, hindi pa kami kasal sa lagay na iyan! wala ka bang tiwala sa akin? is this the reason why you want me to marry him because you know I can't handle our ranch properly?" I almost screamed after I stormed out of my dad's office. I can't help but to hyperventilate right now, hindi ko pa halos tinapos basahin ang contract letter ay ayaw ko na ito agad pirmahan. tama nga ang sinabi ni Eri sa akin.

"You're too young for this, marami ka pang kailangan matutunan. you can't just jump into a higher position without proper knowledge and trainings. ni hindi ka pa nga nakakapagtapos ng MBA, you're aiming for this now. marami rami ka pang kakaining bigas, let your fiancee handle this." daddy answered calmly.

"Then wait for me to finish my MBA, hindi yung nagdedesisyon kayo para sa akin kasi malaki na ako. I'm not a teenager anymore, kaya ko na mag desisyon sa sarili ko!" I almost cried. he stood up violently.

"You're begging for your freedom now, what do you want? kaya pala sa ngayon nga ay nakadepende ka pa rin sa success namin ng mommy mo. don't you have plans for your own? hindi ka namin pinagkakaitan ng kalayaan mo lalo na at alam naming legal ka na, but seeing your situation right now made me decide to give your supposed responsibility to Cylander. ang hina mo pa rin at alam namin hindi ka pa capable sa business natin." he said. my tears roll down after hearing those words from my dad.

"Then let me decide, I'll finish my MBA and you'll halt my engagement with Cylander Revour. I won't ask anything from you, I'll resign from my position, I'll give up all anything related from your business and success. watch me to grow and I'll improve." I said. pinalis ko ang luha ko at pinanood kung paano madismaya si daddy sa kinatatayuan niya.

"Everything is settled, don't complicate things just because of your impractical desiscions." he said devastatingly.

"I'll give all my shares to Cylander. give him the position he deserve." I said bitterly and leave his office.

Hindi ko mapigilang humikbi nang tuluyan na akong makalabas ng office ni Daddy. hindi ko lubos maisip na, bakit ba sa lahat ng bagay ay pinagkakaitan ako? bakit ba sa mga pagkakataong gusto ko namang piliin ang sarili ko ay tila ipinagdadamot pa ito?

Within that day, they bring down the memorandum of hiring a new application for my position as I give this up earlier. My father set an urgent meeting to announce that our engagement will be halt and will continue to give the 60% share of properties to Cylander as of now and will be taken back to 100% after his project in Venice.

He'll be back soon to talk to me about the new agreement. sinabi ko na rin namang hindi na kailangan ngunit nagpumilit siya, now I'm waiting for his arrival in my hotel room. nag check in nalang muna ako dahil bukas ay lilipad na rin ako patungong California para ipagpapatuloy na ang MBA ko.

I'll come back stronger...

Ariah had her flight to Chicago last Friday kaya kay Ell nalang ako nagpatulong for my bookings for my flight tomorrow.
