Nginuya Ngunit Hindi Nilunok!!! [COMPLETED]

Replacement

Pagkalabas ni Jisu sa hospital ay pinapunta agad siya sa hotel ng kanyang mga magulang. Kasama niya ang girlfriend niyang si Rows na nangakong hindi siya iiwan mag-isa habang nasa Singapore sila. Kaya naman galit na galit ang papa at mama ni Jisu ng pumasok sila sa suite room na magkahawak ang kamay.

Tahimik lang na nakaupo si Rows sa tabi ni Jisu habang nakikipag-usap ito sa mga magulang niya.

Papa ni Jisu: Can we stop with this nonsense, Jisu? Nagrerebelde ka ba kaya ka ganyan? Or gusto mo lang ulit ng atensyon? You're acting like a kid.

Jisu: Pa, I already agreed to attend the remaining seminars. What else do you want from me?

Papa ni Jisu: I want you start acting and thinking like an adult. What would other people say pag nakita ka nilang may kaholding hands na kapwa mo babae.

Jisu: They'll think we look so good and so happy together.

Titingin si Jisu kay Rows na nakatingin lang sa sahig at umiiwas sa eye contact with anyone. Halatang kabado ito kaya hahalikan bigla ni Jisu ang pisngi ni Rows.

Rows whispers to Jisu: HUY! ANO BA! Nagagalit na nga, ginagalit mo pa.

Jisu whispers to Rows: Ang cute mo pala pag natatakot.

Manlilisik ang mata ng papa ni Jisu ng makita niya ang halik at ang  pagbubulungan ang dalawa.

Papa ni Jisu: ENOUGH!!! If you keep acting the way you're acting, we'll be forced to--

Jisu: --to what? What could you possibly force me to do?

Papa ni Jisu: Ililipat ka namin ng school.

Jisu: Hindi papayag si lolo. There's a reason both Jenjie and I are enrolled there. Remember her, Jenjie? Anak niyo rin? Yung kapatid ko?

Papa ni Jisu: We'll take away your inheritance and the company!

Jisu: That would be nice. I might feel thankful to my parents for the very first time.

Papa ni Jisu: WE'LL SEND HER AWAY!!

Sigaw ng tatay ni Jisu sabay turo kay Rows. Ngingiti lang si Jisu.

Jisu: If you do that, then I promise you that you'll never see me again as well.

Mapapatahimik ang papa ni Jisu.

Jisu: What? Ran out of things to frighten me with? Yan ang problema sa pagpapalaki niyo sa kin. You didn't give me anything to care about, so you have nothing to threaten me with. You have nothing to take away.

Mama ni Jisu: You have her. And your sister, and that other girl.

Jisu: And if you touch any of them, then you lose me.

Mama ni Jisu: And here I thought you cared about the thousands of employees who would lose their jobs if the company failed.

Jisu: I do. When I was choosing between sacrificing myself or sacrificing them, I would always choose them. But now that I have Rows, a thousand lives are nothing compared to hers. You think you found my weakness, mother. You're wrong. I've found my strength.

Mapapahigpit ang hawak ni Jisu kay Rows. Magkakamot ng ulo ang papa ni Jisu. Tatayo ito at pupunta sa bar para uminom. Ngingiti naman ang mama ni Jisu.

Mama ni Jisu: Strength looks good on you. For the first time, I can envision you as the new CEO. Let's make a deal. Until we find a replacement, then you will attend the seminars.
