A well-toned man at his 50s came to his office, kasalukuyan niyang nirereview ang mga datos mula sa mga nasalanta ng bagyo sa nakalipas na araw. He didnt even look at his father kaya tuloy tuloy itong lumapit sa lamesang kinaroroonan niya, tumikhim ito senyales na naroon.
"I told your secretary to vacant your schedule today because we have things need to discuss," anito saka umupo sa katapat ng kanyang lamesa.
"And what is that? Wala siyang ganang makipag-usap dito kaya pipiliin na lamang niya ang mga katagang sasabihin.
"My kom-padres asked me if you have plan to run as governor in the next election, " paninimula nito.
Nagtaas siya ng tingin dito,
"And what did you tell?"I said yes, you are my son you must follow my step."
Binalewala niya ang sinabi ng ama, "You should not said that," aniya. "Besides, I have my own decision to make."
Kumunot ang noo ni Congressman Antonio Montealto sa sinabi niya,
"Why? Nag-iba ang tono ng boses ng ama hudyat na hindi ito sang-ayon sa mga sinabi niya.Isinara niya ang folder na binabasa saka walang emosyon na sinalubong niya ang mga mata ng ama.
"I should be frank with you Dad," his intro, "I have no plan to run as governor. Maybe after my term I will stress myself in dealing with my own business in Manila besides that is what I want."Dumagundong ang boses ng ama sa opisina, hindi sang-ayon sa sinabi niya, "Hypocrite! You dont know how much effort I put for you to become alkalde and yet here you are saying that nonsense words to me just to turn down the opportunity given to you!
He loosen his tie, nagsisimula ng umapoy ang paligid nilang dalawa at ayaw niyang mangyari iyon. In all the years he spent, kahit papaano hindi niya binastos ang ama dahil malaki ang respeto niya para rito. He calm himself after nitong ipamuka sa kanya kung paano siya tinulungan ng ama.
"I dont want to argue with you Dad. I have my own decision, I make choices and I am still a human not a robot."
"If you think that way wala na akong magagawa Vlad but I will expect more on you and dont you dare to disobey me," he stood from his seat.
"I want to talk with you more but you disappoint me, lets talk this matter again." He said before he left his office.
Sa sobrang pagpipigil naihagis niya ang mga ballpen at pencil nahulog iyon sa ilalim ng lamesa. Tuluyang hinubad niya ang kurbada, Calm self, you have still a choice! Pang-kakalma niya sa sarili.
He get his phone and dialled a number at wala pang limang segundo ay nag-ring na ang kabilang linya. Bumungad ang malanding boses mula sa linya.
"Hello sweetheart, he heard a seductive voice from the other line.
"Miss me."Tumingala siya sa puting kisame ng opisina, nag-iisip kung ano bang maaari pa niyang gawin aside sa kontrahin ang pinag-uutos ng ama.
"Meet me at Ohio restaurant at 7:00, I want you to accompany me this night," walang prenong sabi niya sa kausap.
Ang malanding boses nito ay nauwi sa halakhak na para bang nakasungkit ng medalya mula sa kanya.
"Okay sweetheart Ill be there, I love you."
Those last words didnt send something magical to him kaya agad din niyang tinapos ang tawag saka pinagpatuloy ang pagtitig sa kisame.
He called her secretary to tell that he need to leave earlier today, he needs to burst out his stress with Stefanie tonight and maybe he will fucking calm down.
