Chapter 50. "Forever with the Prince"
Elyse' POV
"We are now live to interview one of the trending issues about her and her famous father politician. Please welcome, Ms. Elyse Anne Villasis-Montes." nagpalakpakan ang mga tao at naglakad ako palapit sa hoset. "Welcome to the show." bati sa akin ng host ng isang sikat na TV show.
"Hello po." balik kong bati habang masaya at masiglang nakangiti saka naupo.
"Hindi na ako magpapatumpik-tumpik pa, Elyse totoo bang ikaw ay anak sa labas in Gov. Montes other woman?" direktang tanong sa akin ng host. I didn't expect her to be this straightforward. I smile as I turn my eyes on them, nandoon sila sa audience, kasama ko at pinapanuod ako.
I took a deep breath and smile sincerly as I turn my eyes back to the host.
"Yes, but there is a reason why my father hide the truth." sagot ko at tumingin sa camera. "Just like how he run this amazing province, he did that to protect me. He is a father that will do everything to protect his child no matter what it takes, even if it ruined his life and career someday." malalim akong huminga at muli tiningnan si Dad. He is nodding and smiling at me.
"Is it true that your father abandoned you and your mother?" muling tanong ng host.
Natahimik ako. Kailangan kong maging maingat sa mga sagot na bibitawan ko.
"Yes," sagot ko at ngumiti. I heard the people in this studio gasped like they can't believe what they've heard. "But again, there is a reason behind that." dugtong ko at muling hinarap ang camera.
"He is just a human like us, sometimes he made decision that is beyond his control and made a mistakes. Pero alam niyo po, I didn't felt that I was abandoned. He provide everything I need. He gave everything for me. Hindi siya nagkulang sa akin. The only thing I felt is I am alone but not abandoned. Because I know and I believe that someday, everything will fall to its right place. Mag-isa ako noon pero alam kung babalik sila at darating muli para makasama ko. At ito na nga ang araw na iyon."
Naging tahimik ang buong studio sa sinabi ko. I heard a clap and a clap and more claps. I stare at them and I saw them there clapping their hands for me.
Binalikan ko ng tingin ang host and she is also smiling and clapping and said.
"You're free now."
Natapos na ang live broadcast namin tulad ng plano namin ni Venice para ayusin ang naging issue ni Dad at hindi ito maka-apekto sa kanyang pagtakbo sa election next year.
We are here now in a restaurant celebrating the successful live broadcast. They are all here, si Dad, si Tita Veronica, si Venice, si Emerald at Onyx kasama ang kanilang parents, si Loraine at si Yaya Miding.
"We just need to wait again for the poll and feedbacks or reaction of the people." sabi ni Venice habang hawak ang glass ng champagne. "But my sister did a great job." nakangiti niyang sabi sa amin at tinaas ang glass ng champagne. "Cheers everyone!"
