Did i heard it right?
“You're avoiding this conversation because you know damn well, that you were also a gay before.”
After dad said that just then mom turned to him and gave him a slap, I couldn't believe my eyes. This isn't them, ngayon ko lang sila nakita na nagkakasakitan nang ganito. Not infront of me.
Hindi maproseso ng utak ko ang mga nangyayari ngayon sa loob mismo ng office ko, feeling ko hindi pa sapat, i'm lacking of information. I want to know more even if it will hurt me.
I got back on my senses when I heard mom's foot steps leaving us behind, I'm hesitating if i should follow her or ask dad kung totoo ba ang sinabi niya. If it was true, then, may unang minahal si mom before dad? Or is it possible na nainlove din siya sa girl? Arggh! This is so complicated!
Later on, I decided to run after mom but I immediately stopped when dad suddenly speaks..
“I'm firing you, Katrina Avila. From now on hindi kana makakatungtong pa sa kom--” I cutted him off, hinarap ko siya na walang mababakasan na emosyon sa mukha ko
“No dad, I'm the one who gets to decide-”
“I'm the former ceo of this company, so, you have nothing to do with my decision.” he firmly uttered while looking intently at me. I balled my fist in frustration dahil parang hindi ko siya makilala, his behavior right now is somehow unfamiliar to me.
Magsasalita pa sana ako pero hindi ko na nagawa dahil nagulat na naman ako for the third time this day nang magsalita ulit siya, tinabihan niya pa si Stacey na mukhang naguguluhan ngayon.
“Well, in the first place..Stacey was supposed to be your secretary but your mom? She chose that woman so she signed a contract.” I've had enough for this day, parang ayoko nalang makinig o maniwala pa sa mga sasabihin ni dad. What if he's just telling lies? but what if..
“5 months, we gave her 5 months then ipapalit namin ang totoong sekretarya mo. I guess, your mom just pity her that time so-- ”
“Stop this dad! Stop! Please!” I can't contain my emotion anymore so I bursted out angrily, confused and frustrated.
I left his gaze and turned to Katrina who's also looking at me, there I saw her apologetic face. Does it mean totoo ang sinabi ni dad?
She didn't tell me about that stupid contract, she lied to me!
“Is that t-true?” I asked her, still hoping na hindi totoo ang lahat ng mga sinabi ni dad na walang contract or whatever stupidity you may call it!
She nodded slowly, I gave her a disappointed look before turning my back. All i know is, I want to leave immediately so I quickly stormed off of my office.
While walking in the hallway I noticed that there's a few of employees gossiping but wala na 'kong lakas at katarayan na natira sa katawan ko dahil sa mga nangyari ngayon and even these past few days, but may araw din sila.
Mabilis akong nakapasok sa elevator at saktong walang tao na nasa loob kaya doon ko na nilabas ang frustration na nararamdaman ko ngayon, I stomped my feet numerous times at kahit gustuhin kong umiyak wala naman lumalabas na luha sa mata ko. Am I numb? No, i'm not, hindi sana ako nasasaktan ngayon kung manhid na 'ko. However, my eyes were, they're numb.
