ALEOSCAR'S OBSESSION [ON-GOING]

CHAPTER 49

Kiara Jaire Lazarus

"YOU'RE forcing me to marry the man I don't love?"

My words made him stop. Ang tuno ng boses niya ay bahagyang tumataas na. A mockingly smirk creep into my lips as my eyes darkens.

No one could do this to me. Not my father. Not my family, but me. At hindi ko inaasahan na ang ama ko ay gagawin rin akong parang taga sunod niya. Matigas nga siguro ang ulo ko pero hindi ako tanga. Ano irarason niya na naman na ginagawa niya lang lahat ng 'to para sa kabutihan ko? Well, that's wasn't! That's a bullshit. This is the first reason why I couldn't longer afford to stay in this palace, they were so controlling. So I made the decision to go to the place o could have my freedom, a place that anyone can't command me.

Parihas nga nila akong pinalaki pero magkaiba sila ng pagpapalaki ng ina ko at tumatak sa utak ko ang palaging bilin saakin ng aking ina.

'Never let anyone ruled your life. No one has any power over you until you give it to them, you are in control of your life and your choices rule on your fate, sweetheart.'

That's what my mother said. Her words affects me big time. Hindi naman siguro masama na ipaglaban ang alam kong tama?

"You made me fight for what I know is right. But what you're doing now? You're making me decision for a wrong choice, you're making me disobey my mother's words, dad! Tangina, hindi na ikaw 'to..."

Napatigil ako sa pagsasalita ng mamanhid ang kanan kong pisngi sa lakas ng sampal na 'yon. I sigh and held my checks. It hurts. Masakit pa ang mga salita niya sa sampal na 'yon. Mas masakit pa rin ang nararamdaman ko sa mga oras na 'to.

I chose to face him. I look straight to his eyes. Without any emotion on my face. I stay still.

"Hindi na ikaw 'to." I said. "Even if you slap me many times, you will get the same answer and you could never rule my life like just my mother said. I will not let you."

His lips parted. He didn't say anything.

When I heard the door slammed open. I knew someone barged in.

"Dad! Kiara!"

Jearah's voice came out. "I can hear your voices on my room. What happened?"

"You still want to continue the deal, dad?" Tanong ko habang hindi inaalis ang tingin sa ama ko kahit nasa gitna na namin sa Jearah. I smiled sweetly as I cough. "Uhm, Okay? Itutuloy natin ang napagusapan kung iyan talaga ang gusto niyo. Kung gusto mo talagang kamuhian kita. Tuloy natin pero pagkatapos n'on, hindi-hinding mo na ako makikita at siguradohin mo lang na hindi ka na mangugulo sa buhay ko. I will forget also that I don't have any relatives, I don't have a family and I don't have a father. I will say that you were dead."

I had a deep sigh before I continue.

"Kakalimutan ko lahat ng tungkol sayo. Buburahin kita sa sistema ko. Until my last breath you're existing will never cross on my mind. I'll promise that to you."

Naramdaman ko ang paghawak ni Jearah sa braso ko. Her hands are cold. I glance at her then I saw her eyes gloomy like she is about to cry. Her lips became paled too.

She's pregnant.

"Sis. W-What are you saying?" she asked. He held my arms to face her. "Are you fighting dad? This is about to the marriage again?"

I glance at my father who move his gaze and turned his back.

"Dad!" Jearah screamed when our father suddenly walking out. "Daddy!"
