Tied To The Savage Tycoon

Chapter Twenty

Chapter Twenty /-/

Nasa national headlines ang pagtatangka ni Anikka sa kaniyang buhay. I was scared as shit. Though magkaaway kami dahil sa atensiyon ng asawa ko. I don't wish her harm.

I could only silently pray to God to guide her safely. They're childhood friends, they're more than siblings. Tobias is an only child and Anikka is like her little sister.

I'm just a heavyweight in his life.

Pinapaayos ko na ang divorce papers namin kay Cherrish. Cherrish has a firm of the best lawyers in the country, so I'm very sure na maaprobahan ang divorce namin.

I guess I'm just gonna drown myself to work tonight. Maybe mag-oovertime muna ako. My last week before I resign as CEO of MSAL.

I'm sorry dad. I can't continue being under Tobias Enriques. Everytime I see him or even look at him, all I remember is the death of our baby.

Tinignan ko ang oras, it's 6:00 pm. Bibisitahin ko muna si dad. It's been a long time since I visited him. "Hailey, pupunta muna ako sa ospital. Bibisitahin ko muna si dad."

Dumiretso ako sa ospital, pagka-pasok ko sa room ni dad, naabutan ko ang kamag-anak ni Anikka. They were giving me dirty stares like I almost killed Anikka or something.

What if I bring the whole Magalion clan in this hospital para makipag-eye contest sakanila.

Hindi ko sila pinansin. I proceeded on doing my own errands, which is visiting my father. My father's life is still on the line. The only thing supporting him right now is machines.

Suot ko ang mask, hairmask, at protective wear para makapasok sa room ni dad. Lumabas ang nagbantay ni dad ma si Aling Celestine na matagal nang kasambahay ng mga Magalion.

Pagkaupo ko sa upuan sa tabi ni dad. Agad na tumulo ang mga luha ko, hindi ko mapigilan humagulgol sa iyak. "Dad, I miss you." Deep in my heart, I miss my father more than anything else.

The pain that I'm feeling now makes me miss my father.

Hindi ko inaasahang mahuhulog ako sa isang lalakeng hindi ako kayang mahalin kaya unti-unting nasusugatan ang puso ko. Why does it have to be Tobias?

Hindi sana ako naging marupok. Sana hindi ako umasa  at nag-assume mahuhulog siya sa akin. It was all his act to get what he wants to get from me. I wish I didn't kneel on his feet.

I wish didn't offer myself to him! I wish I never married Tobias Lincoln Enriques!

Though I may not look like I give a fuck on what he does. Deep inside, I'm questioning myself where I went wrong. I though being a good submissive wife would please him.

Fuck! Nakalimutan k osiguro na puro papel lang 'tong pinangakuan namin. This marriage is just tearable just like paper because everything is just signed in papers. When we're done reaping benefits of one another, we' ll be just diposing each other out of our own lives.

My husband is spoiling me gifts, he gave me  back MSAL in a much better condition, he gave me power and everything I want. But did he give me my needs as wife?

Tuwing naiisip ko ang pangangailangan ko bilang asawa. Sinisagawan ko ang sarili ko na kontrata lang lahat ng ito. Walang magtatagal, walang totoo at walang mangaggaling sa puso dahil papel lang lahat.

Right now, I need love. I need affection. I need someone whose there to hug me, cry eith me and talk to me. Someone who I can share my pain with.

Cause, I'm in so much pain right now.

In painful moments like this, only dad could give me comfort. His advices are the only words that could enlighten me. "Dad, please wake up na. I miss your advices,"

I spent another five minutes crying infront of dad even though he doesn't reply or have any unconsciousness. Tumayo ako at hinalikan ulit si dad, "Bye dad, bibisitahin kita sa susunod na araw."

I turned my back on my father, binuksan ang pinto ng kwarto. "Cindy, anak..."

I turn around, to see my father wide awake, callinh my name. "D-Dad!" Gusto kong yakapin si dad in that very moment pero tinawag ko ang nurse na nakabantay s amalapit na station at dinagsa ng mga nurse at isang doctor ang room ni dad.

They checked dad's vitality and stats. "It's truly a mircale! Hindi namin inaasahan ang nadaliang recovery ni Mr. Magalion."

It felt like I was dreaming. Dad woke up from the coma. After 4 months!

"Kung tapos na kayong icheck up ako, pwede na ba akong makipag-usap sa anak ko?" Daddy! Gosh, kakagising niya pa lang ngunit pinapahiya na niya ako.

"Sige po Mr. Magalion, may nurse lang na maghihintay sa labas incase may gusto po kayo Mr. Magalion." Lumabas ang doktor at tinanguan lang ni dad.

After everyone had their exit. There was silence in the room, its me and dad again. "Kahit tulog ako at unconscious, it doesn't mean I don't know whats happening im the outside world."

That's when tears poured out of my eyes again. "Dad, I'm so sorry." I kneeled beside his bed and cried out.

"Princess, for what?" Kumunot ang noo ni dad. "Ang kompaniyang pinaghirapan mo, dad. When you had an attack, it was crashing down. I tried my best to save it."

"Did you sell it?" Dad's face was blank at the moemnt. I couldn't tell what he felt. "No, hindi ko kayang isangla ang pinaghirapan mo."

"Then what did you do?" Mas tumindi ang kaba sa tanong ni dad sa akin.

"Nagpakasal ako."

"Ano?! Cindy, hindi kita pinalaki para gawin iyan." There was anger in dad's eyes. "Dad, kalma lang! Baka aatakihin ka na naman!" sinapak ko ang kamay niya, "Kaya inatake ka kasi temperamental ka kase!"

Umiyak ako ng umiyak. "Sino ang pinakasalan mo? Dalhin mo siya dito!"

"That's the problem dad. Kaya ako umiyak kasi kontrato lang 'tong pagpapakasal namin pero nahulog ako sakaniya." Tumawa si dad. "Iyan kasi, marupok ka kagaya ng mommy mo!" Binatukan niya ako at tumawa.

"Galit ka dad?" Tumatawa na kasi si daddy. "Oo, galit pa rin. Pero natutuwa lang akong may lalakeng nakapagpatibok ng puso mo."

"Did your marriage with him not work?" I nodded. "Nangaliwa ba?" Nagkibit balikat ako.

"Sino ang babae! Gugulpihin ko kasama ang asawa mo!" Tatayo sana si dad pero tinulak si dad sa kama na nagpupumiglas na tumayo.

Dad was very angry, he pointed at my face and cursed at me. "How stupid are you Cindy Anastella Magalion to marry someone for the sake of that shitty ass company. Hindi kita pinalaking magdusa sa ilalim ng kapangyarihan ng isang diyos-diyosan. If the company is falling, let it fall. Huwag mo itapon ang sarili mo sa bagyo! "

Para akong binuhusan ng malamig na tubig. Right at this moment, I realized that at the beginning, I could have not thrown myself at the fire pit.

Hindi sana ako magdudurusa at hindi ko sana pinakasalan si Tobias.

Pwede sana akong mamumuhay kasama si dad ng mapayapa sa malayo. I don't need wealth or the company to live because dad doesn't want it either. I was just pushed to risk my life just for this company which dad isn't even trying to save.

"Dad.. Iiwan ko na siya. Lalayuan ko na sila. Please, kumalma ka na."
