"Very good Ms. Liyana!" pagpuri sa akin ng isa sa mga trainor namin.
"Thank you, but you can call me Liya." I smiled. Ayoko lang na maramdaman na ang taas taas ko lagi. Hindi lang ako sanay, kapatid ko sanay na pero ako nagsisimula pa lang. Wala pa akong nararating.
"Liya, daddy mo." nagmamadali at hingal na hingal nang sabihin sa akin ni Elli na nandito ang tatay ko. Teka, anong ginagawa niya dito ?
"Excuse me, I think my dad visit me." I lied. I know my dad is not here to visit me.
Pumunta ako sa lobby ng building na pinag-training ng mga models. Bago pa lang ako bumaba matinding kaba at takot na ang na ngunguna.
"YANA!" isang malakas na sigaw at may halong galit ang sumalubong sa akin pagkabukas ng pinto ng elevator.
Lumapit ako sa tatay ko para mailabas siya dito sa building at hindi mag iskandalo.
"Dad, please. Let's talk outside so--" My dad cut me.
"No! get your damn things and we are going home" my dad shouted so I got scared. My friends can't fight but my brother do, but my brother is not here.
"What? Why? Are you not happy that I reached one of my dreams?" I cried after I say that. Minsan na lang ako sumaya, minsan na lang ako naging malaya.
"I will be happy if you're gonna work for me. I gave you a chance to pursue your Tourism instead of Business Management. I pay for all of your expenses--" I cut him with my word.
"How much? I will pay it back after I receive my first salary." I confidently say that kahit hindi magiging enough.
"Saan ka kumukuha ng lakas para sagot sagutin yung tatay mo?" my stepmom said.
"Ikaw, anong karapatan mong pagsabihan ako?" After I said that I receive a slap from my dad.
"Excuse me, Sir! That is enough. You can go out now." A man appear from my blurry vision because I cry so hard after I receive the slap.
"Who are you? Are you my daughter's boyfriend?" My dad don't want me to have a boyfriend tho.
"Yes, I'm Paolo." I gave Paolo a glance after he say that. WTH?!
"Liyana Aria, is that true?!' my dad shouted again. But Paolo glanced at me to send his signal that I have to say yes.
"Let's go, Liyana!" my dad grab me. Hindi na ako nahila pabalik nila Elli dahil kusa na akong sumama. Nagulat akong nasa labas na lahat ng gamit ko at ready ng dalhin pabalik sa Pilipinas. Tumunog yung phone ko at nakitang may message si Elli sa akin.
