The Love Of Fate

Chapter 6

                      DAVE'S POV.

"Mom do you know about that?"

Tiningnan lang ako ni mommy 'tsaka bumalik sa kinakausap mula sa phone. Now I don't know what to do. I know my dad is not capable of doing that. I know my dad very well. Dad is a kind man. He will never do that. Kahit katunggali namin ang kompanyang iyon ay hindi pumasok sa isip ko para gawin 'yon ni dad. Now we're in trouble.

I glance at the time and it past midnight. Dad aren't home yet. My mom was busy too and I knew it's connected in our company. I don't want to disturb her.

Marami rin ang naghihintay sa labas. Probably when the news spread like a wild fire. Mahihirapan din kami. Our guards was there to stop them but there gaining too much people and too much attention too. Baka mamaya bigla na lang lumipad ang gate namin at napasok kami.

Now I'm thinking.

Who's really is responsible for this? They're just doing this to destroy our company. I know wala naman kaaway si dad. Nanlumo ako ng may isang pangalan na bigla na lang pumasok sa isip ko. Shane.

Gising na siya and I'm happy to hear that but I'm afraid I can't visit her right now knowing that we're in the middle of chaos. A big chaos. I must talk dad about this but he isn't home yet.

I let a heavy sigh then turn back. I'll get my car. I'd decided to just go to dad. I know where he is right now. Kinuha ko ang phone ko at tumawag sa numero ni dad. Nagdalawang ring ng hindi niya nasagot.

Kinabahan ako baka matrap siya ng mga tao. Napalunok ako ng hindi niya sinagot uli ang pangatlong tawag ko. Nagmadali na lang ako at baka ano ng nangyari.

"Mom. I'll go to dad." Paalam ko at hindi na hinintay na sumagot siya. She's busy though.

Pagkarating ko doon, nakita ko ang maraming naghihintay na iba't ibang news reporter. Mukhang naghihintay pa rin na comment ni dad. And I won't let them do that again.

So I decided na sa likod na ako dadaan papuntang office ni dad. It's more safe than face the reporter in front. Sinalubong ako ng tauhan namin at hinatid ako sa office ni dad.

"Dad it's me" pagkatok ko.

Bumukas ang pinto. Bumungad sa akin si dad na mukhang stress na. His wrinkles was now evident. Nag-aalalang lumapit agad ako para tingnan siya.

"Are you alright dad?" Luminga ako para tingnan kong nakabukas ba ang bintana.

"Dave what are you doing here?" Tanong niya saka luminga linga. Pagkatapos ay hinatak ako papasok.
"You shouldn't be here" when he lock the door.

Umiling ako at hinawakan siya sa balikat.

"I came here to take you with me. Pagod ka na dad. Sa bahay na natin pag-usapan. Mom is busy too. Please..." I pleaded. I want him to rest. This isn't healthy for him. He might get sick or worse. Tinitigan niya muna ako tsaka bumuntong-hininga. Yumuko at hinilot ang sentido.

"I don't know what to do right now. All I know is I'm innocent from all of this accusations. Wala akong kaalam alam dito. I can't do that, I swear." His voice was full of frustration.

I sigh. Kahit ako rin hindi ko alam. Naawa ako kay dad. Pinaparatangan siya sa kasalanan na hindi niya naman ginawa.

"I know dad. Let's just talk this tommorow. You need a rest. Baka may masamang mangyari sa'yo. I'll help you. Now please let's go. I'm worried. We're worried." I walk towards him to convince him more. He sigh in defeat and nod at me.
