the Unexpected

Interview part 2

"Enough of the teasing young masters. I think it is time to get seriuos with her." Adrianne stood up from where he is and everyone else in the room seemed to assemble behind him.

He actually put the momentum into halt and I was relieved I don't need to answer Locket's question. Bago sya pumunta sa pwesto nya sa tabi ni Adrianne he whispered something into my ears.

"Well done, just relax." ngumit sya sakin bago sya lumayo, kahit alam ko na compliment ang sinabi nyang yun hindi pa rin naalis sakin ang pagkainis ko sa kanya. 

Kahit sa harap ng mga ka-brad nya nagawa nya kong asarin at paglaruan para tanungin ng ganun.

Akala ko pa naman, he will be here to support me.

Adrianne is still smiling, but not a friendly smile anymore. There is something going inside his head and I have to prepare because anytime I know he is gonna blow that up to me and I can't afford to take any damage now.

"Well then, I am sure aware ka na high profile members ng the Alpha ang mga magulang mo. Enlighten me if not."  bumalik sya sa pagkakaupo nya habang tinatanong ako ng tungkol sa parents ko.

Now, this is serious.

For a while these past days, I almost forgot they are also members of this fraternity and didn't get a chance to think what will happen pag nalaman nila ang ginagawa ko.

"Opo first master. I know very well thay they are both members of the Alpha, but they didn't talk so much about their involvement here." sinusubukan ko na magrelax, pero sa pagkakataong ito mas naramdaman ko na ang kaba dahil nagsimula na ang seryosong tanong nila.

"Alam ba nila na you are also trying to be a part of this brotherhood?" the smile on his face was gone, seryoso at mas nakakapressure ang itsura nya.

"No first master. Hindi ko pa po sinasabi sa kanila, no one in my family knows about this." there is that reality again that I have to face after this. I remember I promised to Locket na sasabihin ko sa pamilya ko ang tungkol sa pagsali ko dito. But until now, hindi ko pa rin alam kung kailan ko magagawa yun.

"Why is that so? Hindi mo ba naisip na pwede kang matulungan ng mga magulang mo to get in?" hindi ko nagustuhan ang tono ni Adrianne, it's like he is implying something to me.

"With all due respect first master. Hindi po kailan man pumasok sa isip ko na gamitin ang pangalan ng mga magulang ko at reputasyon nila para lang mapabilis ang pagpasok ko sa Alpha. I got my own reasons why I am here and as much as possible I don't want to live behind their shadows. I want to make my own name and make them remember as me not as a mere daughter of Mr. and Mrs. del Valle." I keep my voice as steady and calm as possible. Pinilit ko din na wag ng mainis masyado to keep me focused.

"Impressive." Neil commented from his place and he is smiling even more now and I want to thank this man for giving a lite aura in this room.

"I will agree with him, still, you should know that there are big possibilities na malaman nila mula sa Alpha mismo ang nangyayari sayo. Tell me, what will you do if that happens?" I saw that Locket is focused on me and waiting impatiently for my answer, I am not sure but I can sense that he is turning uncomfortable.

"I know eventually I have to tell them at kahit hindi ako ang magsabi sa kanila, they will still have someone to tell them. Even though, handa po ako sa kung anu mang sasabihin at magiging reaksyon nila. Magustuhan man nila o hindi, I am certain about myself that they can't stop me from from doing this." 

Yes, I am sure about that. I will reach the end of this.

There is silence for a while and Adrinne seems to be digging into his mind kung anu ang susunod nyang itatanong.
