"BE TAMED"


(Isa)Bella Martinez

Nagising ako dahil sa lakas ng tunog ng cellphone ko.

Agad din naman akong bumangon dahil sa irita at hinanap ang cellphone ko. Ang sarap ibato sa pader.

"Hello?!" Agad kong sagot sa tawag nang makita ko na ang phone ko.

"Princess, glad you're awake." Boses ni Dad iyon.

"Sabi nang ayoko---! Where the fuck am I?" Nilibot ng aking mata ang kabuuan nang solid na tinulugan ko.

Teka!? Hindi ito yung kwarto ko!

"Watch your mouth, princess!" Pagbanta sa akin ni Dad.

"I said where the fuck am I?!" I continued to ask.

"Princess!!" Batid ko na sobrang galit na si Dad.

He's not really in favour of me cussing or mag-mura.

"You know I won't stop cursing 'til you answer my fucking question, Dad." I hissed.

Narinig ko namang tumawa si Dad na ikinataka ko?

"Talagang mapipipe ka, princess. Dinala lang naman kita sa dormitory ng Pendleton High School." Sagot ni Dad sa tanong ko.

"What the fuck?!" Sigaw ko bago agad-agad na bumangon saka sumilip sa bintana. Napatakip ako mg mata ko ng masilaw ako sa sinag ng tirik na tirik ng araw.

"Princess!!!" Sigaw sa akin ni Dad.

Hindi ko siya pinansin dahil patuloy lang anong nagmumura dahil sa gulat.

I can't believe he actually got me kidnapped then brings me here!?

"Dad get me out of here! Now!" Sigaw ko sa kabilang linya.

"No can't do, princess. You will be turning eighteen in a few months dear. I need you to be tamed before that happens." Saad sa akin ni Dad.

"Tamed?!" Iritado kong sabi.

"Yes, you are too feisty princess. I need a better version of yourself before you take over our company." Paalala niya sa akin.

"I don't fucking give a damn about your fucking company! Ibigay mo 'yan sa iba! Arghh!" Bulyaw ko sa kanya.

"Princess! See that attitude of yours? That's the problem."

"Well, sorry to tell you Dad, I grew up to be this kind of person. Guess why I became one?" Yung tono ng pagsasalita ko sa kanya ay may halong pang-aasar. "Oh, I remember! It's because no one was ever there while I grew up! A little girl can't just cry all the time, Dad. I had to be strong for myself, 'cause no one will be there for me." By then, I hunged up.

Nasapo ko na lang ang noo ko dahil sa sakit sa ulo.

Lintek na buhay ito!

Tinignan ko muna ang kabuuan ng kwarto.

"Looks cozy enough." I shrugged, while slightly biting my fingernails.

Napatigil ako sa pag libot sa kwarto nang may tumikhim sa likod ko.

"Ehem."

Agad naman ako tumalikod para tignan kung sino man ang pangahas na pigilan ako sa pagmumuni-muni sa kwarto na ito.

"Valein?"

Valein works for my dad.

Actually, she watches over me for years now. Even though she's twice my age hindi makita yung katandaan nito.

"Princess, your dad ordered---!" I interrupted her.

"Drop the formality, Valein. Bella na lang ang itawag mo sa akin." Sambit ko.

"Bella, please remain calm. Your father have further demands for you to fullfil bago ka niya pabalikin." Paliwanag ni Valein.

"Ano naman daw iyon?" Nakataas ang is a kong kilay.

"Kailangan mo raw maging isang mabuting student sa bago niyong school. No more troubles like you could cause before. For the whole senior high school term." Patuloy ni Valein.

Napakunot-noo naman ako, "give me a valid reason why I should follow his 'demands', pwede ba?"

"If you fail to achieve what your father had ordered you to do, there are consequences for you to face." Valein smiled sweetly.

I narrowed my eyes on her.

"What consequences to be exact?" Iritado kong tanong.

"First, he'll freeze your bank account. Next, confiscate your fancy stuffs. You know, your expensive car, bags, heels, make-ups, gadgets and a lot more." Valein just shrugs.

My jaw literally drops, "ano kamo?!" Sigaw ko.

Dad is really provoking me. He's pushing me on my edge!

Calm down, self. Calm down, Isabella Martinez.

Breathe in, Breathe out...

"Oh, and one more thing." Valein acts like she was thinking.

"What?!" Bulyaw ko sa kanya.

Tumawa na lang si Valein.

"Your loving Dad says, you'll be getting arrange marriage." Pailing-iling na sabi ni Valein.

"Dad! Kapag makita talaga kita kakalbohin kitaaaa!!! Balang araw mapapanot ka rin naman, mabuti pa kalbohin na kita ngayon!"

Humagalpak naman ng tawa si Valein.

"Sige tumawa ka pa! May pa, loving-loving Dad ka pang nalalaman! Ugh!" Hindi ko na talaga mapigilan.

Nakailang mura ata ako sa hangin bago ako nakalma.

"He wants me to be a good student this school year?" I smirked, "well then, I'll show him how good I can be."
