A VolleyLife With You

Chapter 19

Deanna's POV

"Sachiii!!" I saw Ate Nicole waving kaya lumapit ako sa kanila. I'm already in Cebu.

I hugged them. "I missed you guys."

"We missed you too Sachi. So let's go?" Mom asked. She's beside me. Tumango naman kami at pumasok sa van. I'm just bringing a back pack cause I already have my clothes in our house.

"Where's Achi, Peter, Joseph and Dad?" Tanong ko sa kanila.

"Peter and you Dad are in the house while Achi and Joseph are on their way home pa lang. So how are you and the wonderful woman you met?" She asked while smiling at me.

"She's Jema Galanza. They're on a training camp in Thailand right now Mom. You know, I am really lucky to have her because she really knows who I am and she understands me." I answered and looked at her.

"I can really see on your eyes how you love her."

"Just everything you can Sachi! We are here to support you. Kung saan ka masaya, doon din kami." Napatingin naman ako kay Ditch na nasa passenger seat.

"Of course I will Ate. Thank you guys." Tinanong pa nila ako about sa schooling ko and about my career until we arrived at home.

"Sachiii!!!" Sigaw ni Peter habang tumatakbo palapit sakin.

"Peter!" I hugged him tight. "I missed you baby boy."

"I missed you too Sachi."

"Let's go inside. I'm already hungry na e." Aya ko sa kanila at hinawakan si Peter papasok.

"Sa dining area na tayo. Pababa na ang daddy niyo niyan." Mom said kaya sumunod naman kami. Nakahanda na sa table ang pasta, pork steak, adobo and buttered shrimp.

"You cooked all of these?" Kunot-noo kong tanong kay Mom.

"Yes. I cooked some pasta cause I know that's your favorite. Oh by the way, hindi na raw sasabay ang daddy mong kumain satin. He will just going to eat later. Go to his office after eating, pinapasabi niya sayo Sachi." Mahabang sabi ni Mom kaya bigla akong nakaramdam ng takot at kaba. Tumango na lang ako.

"Sachi!!" Bulyaw ng boses ni.... Achi?

"Achi!" I shouted too hehe I hugged her.

"So how's our Sachi?" Joseph asked and I hugged him too.

"I'm doing great. What about you?"

"Busy sa school Ate. Itong si Achi, busy sa work." Joseph answered.

"I see. Tara let's eat." Alok ko at umupo na kami. We started eating and include hindi mawawala ang kwentuhan.

Pagkatapos naming kumain, I insisted na maghugas ng plates pero tumanggi si Mom. So wala akong nagawa kundi pumunta na sa office ni Dad. May office siya dito sa bahay. I took a deep breath muna and knock.

*Tok tok tok*

"Come in." Rinig kong sabi niya kaya I opened the door at bumungad sakin ang napakaseryosong mukha. "Sit down." Utos niya na agad ko naman.

"Why did you called me Dad?"

"You need to break up with that woman." He said in a serious tone pero ang takot at kabang naramdaman ko ay napalitan ng inis.

"I love her and I can't do what you want me to do. Bakit hindi mo na lang tanggapin na ganito ako Dad?" Naiiyak kong sabi at napayuko.

"I accept your sexuality." Mahinahong sabi niya kaya napaangat ako ng tingin at nagtataka. "But I don't want her for you."

"But why?!" Nagulat siya dahil sa pagsigaw at pagtayo ko.

"Don't shout at me Izabella! Give me some respect!" I sighed first and sat down again. "You and the daughter of Mr. Cobb are already in a fixed marriage." Halos manlambot ako sa sinabi niya. I promised to Jema that's I'll fight for her, for us. No matter what.

"No! I'm not going to marry that woman! Kung gusto niyo siya, kayo ang magpakasal sa kanya! Sorry Dad but I can't lose Jema. I'm going back to Manila." Bastos na kung bastos pero kakaiba si Jema sa lahat ng babae. She is worth fighting for.

Bumaba ako habang umiiyak. Nakita naman ako ni Mom kaya agad niya akong nilapitan at niyakap.

"Shhh tahan na Sachi. Someday, matatanggap din kayo ng Dad mo." Mahinahong sabi niya habang hinahaplos ang likod ko.

"But when?" Kumalas ako sa pagkakayakap at patuloy pa rin sa pagbuhos ang aking mga luha. Wala akong nakuhang sagot sa kanya kaya lumabas na ako ng bahay.

Narinig ko pang tinawag nila ako pero hindi ko na sila pinansin. Pumasok ako sa car ko, yeah may car ako dito. I drived somewhere. Umiiyak pa rin ako habang nagmamaneho until.....

Beeepppppp!!!

Boogshhhhh!
