Allison Villanueva: At You Service (Finished)

Chapter 30

 

“A-Alexa….”

 

They all stop on what they are doing after seing the man so emotional and calling that name Alexa. The man who looks so mysterious full of wonders in his face while seeing his dad calling someone’s name. the twins gasp and look straight to him. They all wait for confirmatiom from someone.

Napalis ang ngiti sa mga labi ni Alli nang biglang napatigil ang lahat. At di man din nya makuhang lumingon kung sino iyon, pero sa boses nito kilalang kilala niya. She cleared her throat and brace herself and stand fully she turn around slowly and meet that very sad gaze from the man she never wish to see……his father. The man she never wish to know…

Agad na humakbang ito palapit sa kanya at nanubig ang mga matang pinagmasdan sya sa mukha. Gusto ni Al na lumayo pero wala siyang nakukuhang lakas na loob.

“ I don’t know what to say…….oh God….Alexa you are here now”. he gently grab her hug her so tight. Ramdam mo kung gano kahirap na ngayon lang masilayan ang anak niyang napakatagal niyang hinanap.  “sorry for taking this so long”.

May habag na nararamdaman si Alli pero mas nananaig ang kanyang sariling galit sa ama. Di man lang siya gumanti ng yakap dito. Nakikinita pa niya ang mga kanya kanyang reaksyon sa paligid. Mathew look so relieve seeing them.

 When Gen. Conrad William loosen up he face her. Quizzing how his eldest daughter look so well Alli just shrugged and look away “ I’m so proud of you Alexa”. Ngumiti ito sa kanya at hinintay siyang magsalita.

Alli clear her throat and face him. “nagkakamali po kayo General ng banggit sa pangalan ko, ako po si Allison Villanueva sir at hindi Alexa”. Matapos niyang sabihin ito nakita niya kung pano nagbago ang ngiti nito. He looks pale and she could see the guilt in his eyes. Di nito nakuhang magsalita pa kaya mas nakuha ni Allisona ng magsalita “kung di niyo po mamasamain sir, aalis na po ako”. She even got her salute and start her pace away from him..that a studpid act in times like this but she never mind it. Lahat nang nakapalibot sa kanila ay walang nagsalita.

Doble doble ang lakad ni Allison. Naiinis siya na sa lakad niya parang ang tagal niyang makarating sa labasan. She even heared Mathew calling her name but she would rather scape this place before she can’t control her own emotion.

“Allison, wait”. Baritonong boses ang bumungad sa kanyang harap dahil sa naabutan pala siya ni Mathew kaya napahinto siya pero pinilit niyang malakad ulit but Mathew grab her left arm. Napangiwi pa siya pero di niya pinahahalata na masakit ang parting yun.No one can notice because she’s wearing her own leather jacket to hide it. “ where do you think you’re going Allison”.

“I need to go Mathew, this place is not for me to handle…I need peace of mind so please give way”.

“Aren’t you glad to meet your father?”. Then an irritated voice of Mathew make her gaze to him and she start to get mad the way he said it. “ I told you I grew up in an orphan Mathew I don’t have-“

“oh crap,stop saying it will you?!  why your denying it huh…that man you met tonight he’s your father Allison?! That is the truth”.

“di mo ako naiintindihan Mathew kaya please let me leave”. Pinilit padin niya ang sarili maging kalmado ayaw niyang sabayan ang galit ng lalaki.

“no…di ka aalis..dito ka lang…we need to settle it down here and nowhere else”. Mathew firmly commanded her there’s a warning in what he just said. Dun na ipiniglas ni Allison ang braso. She felt numb and start to protest. “sino ka para diktahan ako sa gusto kong gawin?! You don’t own me and I have my own right to do whatever I want”. Kunot noo niyang hinarap ito at nakikita niyang nagpipigil din si Mathew ng galit dahil makikita mong gumagalaw ang panga na alam mong nanggagalaiti na ito.
