Expecting Someone Special (Dare Series Three)

EPILOGUE

I COURTED her again, I'll do everything just to win her heart again. But things really cruel to us, my parents knew that I'm courting another girl and dump Charlotte.

"Why did you do that?! You knew Charlotte!" sabi ni Dad, bumangon ako at pinunasan ang dugo sa gilid ng labi ko. "Stop this nonsense! Stop courting that girl and fixed yourself and apologize to Charlotte and to her family! You ruin everything!" sabi ni Dad.

"No, I won't do that. And Veronica is not just that girl Dad, I like her and I'm courting her" sabi ko, magsasalita na sana si Dad ng sampalin ako ng malakas ni Mom. Ramdam na ramdam ko ang hapdi ng pisngi ko, kita ko ang gulat sa mata nilang lahat sa ginawa ni Mom.

"Why won't you follow us?! We're your parents Ashton! Watch your manners! Apologize to Charlotte and to her family! Leave that girl! We just want the best for you!" Mom said, I look at them. Want the best for me? Really? Or want the worst for me?

"No! I won't leave her behind! And I'm not taking my words back! I choose Veronica! She's the only woman I love! Not Charlotte or anyone! And want the best for me?! No, you're not wanting the best for me! You're making it worst! And I won't follow you just because you said so, and you're my parents! I never feel like I am your child! I never feel like I have parents!" I said.

Umalis ako ng bahay at sumakay sa kotse ko, hindi ko alam kung saan ako pupunta. I just found myself in front of Zacharry's house, gusto ko sanang pumunta kay Veronica kaso ayaw kong madamay pa siya.

I already messaged Zacharry that I'm going to their house, a minutes later he open the gate and let me park my car on their garage. Pagkapark ko ay bumaba na ako at naabutan ko siya sa may main door nila.

"It's already late bud, akala ko kung ano na ang minessage mo kanina" sabi ni Zacharry at pinatuloy ako sa bahay nila, ginaya niya ako papunta sa may pool area nila at naabutan ko roon ang mga kaibigan namin.

"Hey, bro! Akala ko broken ka kay Isha kaya ako nandito" sabi ni Kenchie, inilingan ko na lang siya. Hindi kami kumpleto, ako, Zacharry, Kenchie, Samuel, Khairro, at Enzo lang ang nandito.

"So? What is this all about?" tanong ni Khairro at inabutan ako ng beer, tinanggap ko yun at ininom. Hindi ko nga alam kung uuwi pa ako sa bahay, pagkatapos ng ginawa ko. "A fight between my parents, they want me to leave Veronica and choose Charlotte instead" sabi ko.

"That's indeed a big problem!" sabi ni Samuel na umiinom ng beer, tumango naman ako. "I told them I choose Veronica over anyone, I know tomorrow was my reality. At hindi ko babawiin ang sinabi ko kahit na tanggalan pa nila ako ng pera at bahay, wala akong babawiin" sabi ko.

"Paano ka? Anyway, I can lend you some condo unit if you want?" sabi ni Enzo, I know when times like this I have them. "Or if you want stay at our house? Hindi ka naman iba" sabi ni Zacharry.

Zacharry was my best friend since elementary, magkaklase na kami mula pa noon. Kaya alam na alam na niya pag umaalis ako ng bahay, my friends stay and drink beer with us until one am.

Zacharry let me stay on their house, sa guest room ako nag stay. When I woke up in the afternoon, I saw Ninang Vien placing a tray on the bedside table. Bumangon na ako, Ninang Vien welcome me with a warm smile.

"Viel told me you left your house late yesterday, is there a problem again? Care to share, anak?" Ninang Vien asked me, she know me well. Minsan nga ay mas Ina pa ang turing ko sa kanya kesa sa mismo kong Ina.
