Alex's POV
Disaster.
That's the only term fit to describe the dinner.
I looked down as the car stopped. Napatingin ako sa labas. Nasa harap na kami ng mansion. Napatingin ako sa walang kaimik imik na si Gin.
I sighed na akmang bubuksan na ang pintuan ng kotse when he talked.
"You will not turn back to what you have promised," he said seriously.
Napakurap ako na nilingon siya. He is not looking at me. Nakatingin lamang ito sa harapan.
Hindi ako nakakibo.
"Bella?"
I tried to clear my throat. I wanted to say yes. But I do not know anymore. Piniit ko yung nagbabantang luha. Ayokong makita niya how weak I am.
Masyado na akong na o-open kay Gin.
"You don't know what you are saying Carlos!"
Tila naririnig ko pang sabi ng dating senador.
Napayuko ako. How much and how long should I endure the animosity of his family towards me? Nang dahil sa nangyari sa pamilya ko.
Gin looked at his grandfather grimly. "You invited us into this dinner and now you want to humiliate her at ako na rin! What do you want from me? You want me to run right?" madilim na madilim ang mukha ni Gin and I wanted to gasp. I have never saw him so angry kagaya ngayon.
I didn't know Gin has his own battle with his family.
Tila ngayon ko lamang naintindihan lahat.
They want him to run for governor. To replace his father in politics.
But Gin doesn't want to run.
Napakagatlabi ako. Kaya pala ganun na lamang ang reluctance niya nang sabihin ko na magpapakasal lamang ako sa kanya kapag nanalo na siya.
Pumayag siya para sa akin.
Para pakasalan ko siya.
My heart throbbed painfully.
"C-Carlos, hindi ganon ang ibig sabihin ng lolo mo. Oh please, pwedeng huwag tayong magtalo sa harap ng pagkain? At nakakahiya kay Alexandra!" his mother said in a low voice.
But Gin was adamant. Napailing lamang ito. "You know I don;t want to come back here. Pinilit ninyo akong umuwi. I was more than okay living from away from you, from this bullshit politics! Forcing me to run when I told you even before I hate politics!"
"Carlos! You are losing your manners!" madiing sabi ng Papa niya.
Pakiramdam ko na estatwa ako sa pagkakaupo.
