Beauty From The Pain. (On-Going)

CHAPTER 60

AMARA'S POV

Two weeks. Two fucking weeks since Daddy locked me up in our house. They did not let me step outside even just a short walk, he hired so many bodyguards just to make sure that no one will come inside to take me to somewhere. Only my manager and Samuel can enter this living hell house.

I don't think he was the one who ordered that, because I can feel Samuel was all behind these effing rules. He is turning really crazy, paranoid for letting me go.

With so much hatred and anger, I celebrated the New Year inside my room. They isolated the hell out of me, so I am just going with the flow. I don't want anyone disturb me here, even my parents, but I cannot resist my mother who only want my freedom and happiness. No matter what she says and no matter what she does, Daddy won't listen to her because he's only all ears to the fucking Kim's.

It was like they really manipulated my Dad 'cause when I went down one of these days, I accidentally overheard Samuel talking to him. It was so clear to me when he says my Dad must oblige to keep me away from Miguel until our wedding day, same date of my birthday.

'Just like that? Ikukulong nila ako dito hanggang sa katapusan ng January?'

Nahihibang na ba sila? Kasi hindi ko na alam kung anong takbo ng utak nila para gawin ito sa'kin. Ito ba 'yong sinasabi ni Daddy na ikabubuti ko? Ito ba 'yong sinasabi niyang para sa'kin? Then, fuck with his beliefs and plan!

They goddamn confiscated all of my gadgets that's why I lost my communications with my friends and Miguel. Do they think I'm happy with the situation right now? For goodness' sake, they are just making me worse! Maraming beses ko nang naisipang tumakas dito, pero sa bawat pag-sampa ko pa lang sa balcony ng kwarto ko, nakikita ko na agad ang mga bodyguards ni Daddy at Samuel na nagkalat sa bahay.

'Shit!'

Para akong bilanggo!

Kaagad akong bumaling sa pintuan nang magbukas iyon, nakita ko si Mommy na namamaga na naman ang mga mata, marahil nanggaling na naman siya sa kakaiyak. Palagi niyang iniiyakan si Daddy kapag nagmamakaawa siya dito na hayaan na lang ako sa buhay ko. Nakaramdam na naman ako ng awa sa kaniya kaya niyakap ko siya agad.

"I'm sorry, sweetie. I'm sorry, Mommy can't do anything for your marriage with Samuel. Masyadong sarado ang pag-iisip ng Daddy mo, hindi niya ako pinapakinggan."- tears started forming in her eyes again.

"No, Mommy.. It's okay, you're out of this."- I tried to comfort her.

"I'm so sorry.. You don't deserve this."

Niyakap ko lang si Mommy habang paulit-ulit siyang nagsosorry sa akin para gumaan ang loob niya kahit papaano. Nasasaktan rin ako kapag nakikita ko siyang nagkakaganito, 'yong nahihirapan at naiipit.

I felt relieved when she calmed herself down before facing me, still sobbing a little.

'Mommy..'

"He was so desperate to set your wedding with Samuel, because he wanted to pay them as soon as possible by arranging the marriage of the both of you. Amara, you and I don't know how huge the money he borrowed from the Kim. He kept this from us and he will surely still keep this until you become Samuel's wife.. Your father turned selfish when he mortgaged and involved the company to Samuel's father. Mortgage is a debt, Amara. Your father is a mortgage broker, because when he reached the first due date of payment, he doesn't have any half of billion to give to the lender, to Samuel's father."

'What the heck? My Dad did that?!'

"Mommy, wait. Bakit nagawa 'yon ni Daddy?"- naguguluhang tanong ko sa kaniya dahil hindi ko rin 'yon inaasahan.
