Prologue
"Dad, sigurado ba kayong sila lang ang makakatulong satin? Nanjan pa naman sina Drake ah?" Nagtataka kong tanong. Umiling nalang si Dad at tumingin sa akin.
"Our company's at stake, Ash. Atsaka, masyado na silang madaming naitutulong satin. Baka isipin ng iba na abusado tayo." I shook my head in disapproval. No, this can't be happening. Bakit sa lahat, kami pa?
"But Dad, pwede akong magpart-time or--"
"No, Ash. Hindi ko hahayaang mahirapan ka." Lumapit sya sa akin at niyakap ako. All throughout these months na iniwan kami ni Mama, si Dad at si Kuya nalang ang palaging nanjan. Sila nalang ang palaging gumagawa.
"Sa tingin nyo ba Dad, hindi ako mahihirapan sa magiging desisyon nyo? Sa tingin nyo ba na...na magiging masaya ako sa piling ng taong hindi ko mahal, at lalong hindi ko kilala?" Naluluha na ako pero kailangan kong maging matatag.
"Make it work, Ash. Do it for the company, do it for us." I sighed. He patted my back and went back on his room. Kukunin ko sana ang phone ko para tawagin si Drake, pero napagdesisyunan kong wag na muna syang abalahin. Sa lahat nalang ng problema ko, sya ang nakikinig.
Can I really make this work? In the end, am I still going to be the lucky one?
