Aria : The One Night Stand

28

Nasa kalagitnaan ako nang pagsa-shopping ng bigla nalang tumunog ang cellphone ko

(Phone Ringing) ***

Thinking that it's one of my friends, I carelessly answer it without looking who's the caller

"Sup!" I nonchalantly said

"ARIA ROSE SALVADILLO!! WHERE THE FVCK ARE YOU RIGHT NOW?!" singhal ng taong nasa kabilang linya, which is I identified as Dad

"Dad, calm down-CALM DOWN? CALM! DOWN! YOU WANT ME TO CALM DOWN?!!!" putol niya sa'kin na ikina kunot ng noo ko

What the fvcking fvck is happening? wala naman akong maalalang kabaliwan na ginawa nitong mga nakaraang araw ha

Well, except— *aherm

"Dad, bakit kaba nagagalit? Did something happened in the company?" Mahinahong tanong ko sa kanya

"THE COMPANY IS IN PERFECT CONDITION BUT YOU! YOUNG LADY! YOU BETTER BE HERE IN FIVE MINUTES OR I WILL GROUND YOU FOREVER!" singhal niya sakin saka binabaan ako ng telepono

God! Anyari sa matandang yun?

Kakarating ko lang dito sa mall pero kailangan ko ng umuwi dahil tinupak si padre ko, tang'na don't tell me na nalaman niya ang nangyari sa cruise?! Fvck batman!

I sigh and control my emotions, kinalma ko ang sarili ko. Hindi makakatulong ang pag-papanic, it will just worsen the situation.

Ano ba kasi ang nangyari? For Dad to become this angry and say the F word. Alam kong galit ngayon si Dad, not just angry but furious.

Dad is a control-freak person, he's trained and disciplined. For him to be so angry this time, only the company is the reason I can think of. Except if it's related to us, his blood kin. Like that time when I'm still in  kindergarten, some boy, my classmate to be exact tried to hold my hand and Dad saw this. Then in the next moment he just to turn into a rampaging grump. Threatening the parents of the poor boy then glaring at my teacher then after that he transfer me in different school. It's the first time na nakita kung nagalit si Dad, it was scary

Kaya kailangan kung malaman ang nangyari, I need to know what the fvck happened, para alam ko kung ano ang dapat gawin at solusyon. I don't want to be grounded, kapag ako genrounded niya, how can I travel to different country? This is so fvck up!

Anyway, whatever it is I need to face it. My father would probably strangle me to death if I run away

Habang nasa byahe ako papuntang bahay, inialala kong mabuti kung may nagawa ba akong kalukuhan maliban nalang sa nangyari sa cruise but as of now, I can't remember anything that I did that can get me in trouble

The worse the mangyari e malaman ni Dad ang nangyari sa cruise then he will track down Gio and he will do everything in his power to crush and destroy Gio. Well anyway, I'm very confident with Rin's talent in hacking and erasing tracks. She already said to me that it's clean and blank kaya hindi pweding malaman ni Dad thru his associates. He can only know shíts through me or Gio

Oh well, let's talk to the devil *smile bitterly*

"Dad, calm do—How can I calm down?! Whoever this bástard is, he is trying to snatch away your sister!" A fuming man growl at the young man beside him

The young man's lips can't help but twitch because of the older man's behavior, where did my Dad who is calm, cold and emotionless go? Who is this absurd, unreasonable and fuming man in front of me right now? What the héck is happening? Can someone please drag that troublesome sister of mine right here this instant!
