Deanna's POV
After the gathering kaninang lunch with my teammates, we decided to call it a day since marami pang commitments individually.
Napagdesisyunan kong icheck yung office ko kaya nandito ako ngayon. After I graduated college, my Dad introduced me to business. It's a tough challenge that I've been through since hindi maganda yung pagpasok ko sa company.
Hindi kasi ako masaya. You know the feeling na gusto mo naman sana yung ginagawa mo para sa pamilya mo but at the same time thinking how they manipulated your future and took your happiness. Kahirap.
*Flashback*
"Dad.." bungad ko pagkapasok ko sa office ni Dad dito sa bahay namin.
"Oh Deanna, take a sit" nangangatog akong umupo sa upuan sa harap ng table niya. Eto na kasi yung oras na sasabihin ko sa kanya na may girlfriend ako.
"Dad, I wanna tell you something please don't get mad" tuloy tuloy na sabi ko habang nakayuko. I can't look. Hindi ko maasiwang tignan siya sa mga mata niya while saying things that can really make him disgust. Kilala ko ang tatay ko, he's a religious person and having a relationship with your same sex is a no for him.
"It depends Deanna. Ano ba yun?" nung tumingin ako sa kanya. Nakakunot na yung noo niya, he hates waiting. San pa ba ako magmamana?
"Dad I have a.. I.. h-have" I can't seem to find a word to say.
"Tell me. You know I hate waiting" he impatiently said. Deanna, you have to say it. For Jema. Huminga ako ng malalim bago nagsalita.
"I-I'm in a r-relationship with a g-girl, Dad" halos kapusin ako ng hininga when I spit those words.
"Ano?" nakakunot pa rin siya, even worst.
"Dad I'm sorry. I just fell inlove with her" nagulat ako nung bigla niyang dinamba yung table niya. Few of his papers falls down.
"What?! You fell inlove with a girl? Are you even serious? How the hell it happened?" galit na sabi niya, I knew it.
"D-dad please, I love her" payikong sabi ko at pinaglaruan yung mga daliri ko. I'm in the verge of crying, alam ko namang hindi matatanggap but atleast I'm being honest.
"You have to break up with her hanggang hindi pa nagtatagal yang delisyon mo. It's bad for the image of the company. Ano na lang sasabihin ng mga kasosyo ko sa negosyo? Myghad Deanna! Nagiisip ka ba ha?!" pasigaw na mga sabi niya.
"No D-dad. Please don't do this"
"Makikipaghiwalay ka sa babaeng yun o ako ang gagawa ng paraan para maghiwalay kayo? Ano bang nakita mo sa kanya? Baka naman pineperahan ka lang niyan. Mali sa mata ng diyos yang ginagawa niyo! Naguguluhan ka lang. Tell me anong pinakain sayo ng malanding babaeng yun?" pasigaw niya sakin. His last sentence engrave my respect to falls down.
"How dare you to say that to her?! You don't even know a single things about her life! Come on Dad! Let me decide by myself!" hindi ko na napigilan pa yung sarili kong tumayo at sumigaw din. I will do everything to protect her.
"Now you're talking back! Ganyan ba tinuturo sayo ng babaeng yun ha?! Hindi lang pala malandi, bad influence din pala" still, he said those words with greeted teeth.
