My Zac Monteverdi [COMPLETED]

CHAPTER TWENTY-THREE

Chapter Twenty-three

Amethyst Yumy Galles Martin

NAKAHIGA sa kama habang yakap-yakap ang kumot at tahimik na humihikbi. How cruel the world is, pagkatapos ng mga masasayang araw ko pinalitan agad ng matinding sakit. My tears are keep on flowing as my heart painfully tightened. I know I need to embrace this pain but it's just that, it hurts so much. I thought the happiness that I had felt wouldn't end, but I'm very wrong. At ang mas masakit pa isipin ay ang pamilya mismo ng lalaking minamahal ko ang mistulang hahadlang sa kuwento naming ito. At ngayon kahit anong gawin ko ay paulit-ulit na bumabalik sa isipan ko ang nangyari.

We're infront of a big mansion, nervousness occurred within me. Zac's held my hand, tiningnan ko siya at binigyan nya ako ng ngiting nagsasabing huwag na akong mag-alala. But it didn't calmed me, ofcourse! I'm going to meet his parents and I don't know if they will going to like me for their son.

"Hey mom, dad," Zac greeted his parents, nagbeso sila habang ako ay tahimik lang sa tabi.

The woman in my mom's age glanced at me, in spite of her age, she still look so elegant, classy and pretty, same goes with his father who look's like Zac a bit.

"U-h, magandang gabi po." I stuttered.

Zac's arm encircled my waist, "Mom, dad. She is Amethyst, my girlfriend."

"Hello po, it's nice meeting you." I offered my hand and when they both took it, I felt a bit relief.

"Uh, just wait her baby ha. May ipag-uutos lang ako kay Manang, I'll be back."

When Zac left, I lost words. Kinakabahan ako at hindi ko alam kung anong gagawin o sasabihin ko sa harapan ng magulang niya. Tumikhim ang mommy ni Zac at may kinuha sa bag nya, natuyo ang lalamunan ko nang makita ko ang mag-asawang naglagay ng alcohol sa kamay nila. I felt so little, knowing that they might feel disgusted by the handshaking earlier.

They lead me to their dining area without talking to me, sa mga sandaling ito ay pakiramdam ko ayaw nga nila sa akin. I suddenly want to go home but that might show disrespect to them, when Zac came back and we started eating, it released a bit of unexplainable emotions I am feeling but I never felt comfortable.

"Amethyst, right?" ang mommy ni Zac.

"Yes po,"

"What's your father's work, ija?"

I swallowed hard and breath, "U-h, he's a construction worker po, Ma'am"

I saw how his parent's faces turned serious, but I have no regrets in answering them honestly. I am proud of my father at kahit ayaw man nila sa trabaho ng papa ko, hinding-hindi ko ikakahiya ang trabaho ni Papa na syang bumuhay sa amin.

"Oh, how come? Kung construction worker lang pala ang Papa mo, panong nakapag-enroll ka sa FMC?" Don Denverus asked.

"Mom, dad. Let's just eat first," Zac interrupted, maybe he notice the starting to grow tension upon us.

"No, it's okay Zac," I paused and turned to his father. "Naipasa ko po kasi ang scholarship examination."

Nagkatinginan silang dalawa kaya mas lalo akong hindi naging komportable, kunwari kumakain ako pero wala talaga akong gana at mas lalong hindi ko ata kayang sikmurain lahat ng ipinapakita nilang disgusto sa akin.

"Mind if I ask, are you sure you and your family could eat three times a day?"

"Mom,"

My face heated and my blood pressure started to raise but I decided to stay patient because after all, they are still my love's parents. Ako pa naman ang taong walang mataas na pasensya pero dahil sa malaking respeto ko sa kanila, kokontrolin ko muna ang sarili ko.
