THE ARRANGE MARRIAGE (COMPLETED)

(Chapter 35)

"What he did to my daughter, do you think that is right? He abuse my daughter emotionally and physically! That son of a bitch even raped my daughter! My daughter!" Mariing Sambit ni Marcos na hindi na makapagtimpi.

Margarret can see angst in his eyes. The Last time he saw that look on his eyes is when he found out when she did with his wife. It took him years to even forgive his own mother.

"I'm scared Marcos. Scared that you would carry this anger for years. This happened before... What more now that this is gonna happen again because of your daughter." Sambit ni Margarret.

"I will make sure that he will go through hell like how Margaretha did. Have you seen her all this time? Yes, she's smiling and all that but she cried in her sleep. Endless memories has been haunting her dreams. I've seen her wake up looking so scared and so lost. And as helpless as I am, I can't do shit to make the pain go away! No father will forgive for the tears of his daughter. "Sambit ni Marcos na kitang kita mo ang desperasyon sa mga mata.

All Margarret can do is hug her son.

" I'm sorry Marcos..."Sambit ni Margarret na napaluha na.

"Now tell me Mother... Is this wrong? Is it wrong of me to spite the man who implicted do much damage?" Sambit ni Marcos.

"I'm really sorry Marcos. If not for me all of this will not happen..." Sambit ni Margarret.

"I'm sorry Mother..." Sambit ni Marcos.

"I just don't want Margaretha to be hurt in the process." Sambit ni Margarret.

"No one will and no one can... As long as I'm here I will protect her..." Sambit ni Marcos.

Si Vladimir naman ay pinipilit makausap ang mga investor na nasa France. Dumating na rin sa bansa ang sekretarya nito upang tumulong.

"Anong balita Carla? Nakapagset ka na ba ng appointment with our France investors?" Tanong ni Vladimir.

"Sorry Sir... Pero mukhang ayaw nilang makipag-usap. Looks like they have been avoiding us. Palaging walang available na schedule." Sambit ng sekretarya ni Vladimir.

"Dammit! Kailangan magawan ito ng paraan Carla. Do everything para makakuha ng appointment. Isunod mo na rin ang mga investors natin from Italy." Sambit ni Vladimir.

"Yes Sir." Sambit ng sekretarya niya.

Bigla naman tumawag ang lolo ni Vladimir.

"Kamusta Hijo. May balita na ba? With the investors? With your wife...?" Tanong ni Don Rafael.

"Sorry Lo... Pero wala pa..."Sambit ni Vladimir na walang kasigla sigla ang boses.

" Relax hijo so you can think straight. Alam kong magagawan mo to ng paraan. "Sambit ni Don Rafael.

"Thanks Lo... Babalitaan kita agad pag may balita na ako. Tatapusin ko pa yung revisions ng mga proposal sa mga investors." Sambit ni Vladimir.

"Alright... Bye hijo..."Sambit ni Don Rafael.

Vladimir is Tired and he's frustrated pero pinipili niyang magpakatatag.

"Sorry Zera... I cannot just let you go and forever you'll be my wife..."Sambit ni Vladimir.
