Chasing A Trap (De Villa Series #1)

"DAMN NAYUMI! ARE YOU EVEN THINKING?! YOU ALWAYS RUIN OUR NAME BECAUSE OF YOUR ATTITUDE!"

Napalunok na lamang ako ng laway nang bigla-bigla na lamang pumasok si Daddy at heto na s'ya pinapagalitan ako, without thinking that I am here doing my requirements in school at hindi man lang naisip na nakakaisturbo na s'ya.

"What is it dad?" tanong ko at yumuko na lang.

Silly. I am known to be the war freak in school but when it comes to him, para na akong tuta na napagalitan ng amo. I hate this! Gusto ko man na sigawan din s'ya but I can't. He's my dad.

"YOU BEING BRAT AGAIN AND WHAT IS THIS?! FUCK THIS!"

Inis n'yang sabi at pinakita sa'kin ang cellphone niya, nakita ko do'n ang litrato ko sa drag race, pero ang kinasingkit ng mata ko ay litrato namin 'yon ng gagung Ryder habang nakahawak s'ya sa braso ko, mariing nakatingin sa'kin habang mukha naman akong tigre na sinisigawan siya. Fuck!

"Dad, he is the one who pissed me, I swear! And wa---"You owe him an apology Nayumi! Go and ask for his forgiveness" napakurap ako at napanganga sa sinabi ni Dad. I will- What?!

"What Daddy? Apology? No way! He is ru---"

"You will ask for forgiveness or I'll lock you to this room and cut your internet connection. You choose" simpleng sabi n'ya at napalunok naman ako.

I can't live without wifi! Damn! But heck! Ayoko rin naman mag-sorry sa kaskaserong 'yon!

Fine!

Atleast, meron akong calculator dito! Mabubuhay parin ako and hindi parin ako mababagsak sa major subject ko.

"How many days po ba bago niyo ibigay sa'kin ang wifi password?" maingat na tanong ko at napalunok na lamang nang makita kong para ng magkakaroon ng apoy ang mata ni Daddy. What?! I choose being grounded okay?! Ayoko makita yong lalaking 'yon for now! And madami akong requirements!

"SO YOU REALLY CHOOSE TO IGNORE THIS GUY AND LET ME CUT YOUR CONNECTION HUH?!"

Napatango naman ako at napayuko.

"I told you dad, I hate that guy and I swear hindi ko iyan magugustuhan kaila----"

"GO AND TELL HIM YOUR SORRY OR BUKAS NA BUKAS MAGSHISHIFT KA NA NG COURSE NAYUMI KAZEA VIONICE"

Doon na ako mas lalong nagulat. Damn! What's the big deal ba?! Normal naman ng nakikipag-away ako ah! I was even reported in the dean's office and got suspended during High School! but they never let me push to say sorry and act like a good parent! Damn!

"WHAT?!" hindi ko na napigilan na mapagtaasan sya ng boses pero napayuko rin nang makita ang nakataas na n'yang kilay and telling me that he is damn serious! "O-okay Dad, I'm g-going to say sorry po sa school"

Nauutal na sabi ko at pinaglaruan na lamang ang aking mga kamay. Damn!

My gosh! Kung hindi ko lang talaga pangarap maging CPA!

"That's good! but it is much better if you go now and tell your sorry, Nayumi" seryosong sabi ni Dad pero umiling ako.

"I have lots of requirements dad and I need to pass it po on time, hahanapin ko na lang sya sa school bukas since Monday naman na po bukas." Sabi ko habang nakatingin parin sa sahig at ayokong makita ni daddy na naiiyak na ako. He hates seeing me cry. He hates seeing us De Villa as weak pero heto sya at nagagalit sa'kin dahil daw sa ugali kong palaban!

Natapos ang araw na 'yon na iniisip ko kung pa'no ako makakapag-sorry sa lalaking ungas na iyon! But damn! I swear, ayoko talaga!

Saying an apology must be sincere but here I am, gagawin iyon dahil kailangan kong gawin because my dad will end my future! Damn it! And I forgot! Hindi ko alam ang course ng kaskaserong 'yon, at I have no idea who the fuck he is aside from his name!
