Monasterio Series #3: One More Night

Chapter 27

Chapter 27

Tuluyan nang lumabas si Daddy ng gate. He still has his messy hair and brows furrowed in a confused line. That reaction from him only intensified his dark aura, like a wolf with a knife-like eyes ready to devour an enemy.

"D-Dad..." I called out through a breathless whisper.

Hindi ko kailanman ginusto na makasaksi ang mga magulang ko ng ganitong klase ng eksena tungkol sa personal kong buhay. I know in myself that I can handle this thing very well, hindi na nila kailangan pa malaman. Pakiramdam ko ay mas lalo lang gugulo kung makikielam pa sila. But with how Cade acted earlier and Zadriel’s presence here only make everything become worst. Siguradong iba na ang natakbo sa isip ni Daddy.

Dad's cruel eyes bore into Cade... and then into Zadriel. Mas lalong kumunot ang noo niya habang titig na titig rito.

"Zadriel?"

I greeted my teeth. Of course, he knew him!

"Good morning, Tito Flavian."

Tumango siya. "What are you doing here? Why are you with my daughter?" he asked and then transferred his eyes to Cade. "Same question goes with you, Cade."

"I was with Tate—"

"No, he's not, Dad." sabat ko.

Nagpalipat-lipat ang tingin sa amin ni Daddy, tila naguguluhan.

"Wait, what's really going on in here?" direktang tanong sa akin ni Daddy, nababahiran na ng matinding pagkaseryoso ang ekpresyon ng mukha.

Huminga ako ng malalim. I don't honestly know what to say or how I will start to inform him about this. O, kung kailangan ko bang gumawa ng kwento para hindi na humaba pa ang eksenang ito. For sure, Zadriel's presence here will only turn the situation into chaos.

"Tito, Tate and—"

"Puwede ba, Cade? Manahimik ka na muna. Ako ang anak, 'di ba? Ako ang tinatanong."

Cade laughed mockingly. "Why? Are you afraid to tell him that you're having an affair with this asshole?"

Napapikit ako ng mariin. Nang magmulat ay sinamaan ko siya ng tingin ngunit tanging ngisi lang ang isinukli niya sa akin.

"What do you mean an affair, Cade?" si Dad na agad kong hinarap. Kung kanina ay nababahiran pa lang nga pagkaseryoso ang ekpresyon nito, ngayon ay alintana na ang galit at akusasyon para sa akin.

"Dad, can we just talk about this inside?" pagiiba ko sa usapan na nagsisimula ng mag alab.

"Flavian, what's happening here? Bakit nasa labas ka?" dinig kong boses ni Mommy, papalabas na mula sa gate.

Wearing a black silk robe, she went out of the gate while combing her hair using her fingers. Kaagad na dumirekta ang matatalim niyang mga mata sa akin. My heart started beating faster as I stared at her.

"What's wrong?" she added, roaming her eyes around us.

Pumihit si Daddy paharap sa kanya. "We need to do some private talking inside, Trinity. Your daughter is in trouble."

Pagkasabi noon ay nilampasan niya na si Mommy at nauna ng maglakad papasok sa gate.

"Wait! With these men?" Mommy asked, not taking her eyes off me.

"All of them."

Naiwan kaming apat roon, tahimik habang si Mommy ay litong nakikipagtitigan sa akin. Her eyes bore into Zadriel and stared at him for a long while. Hindi siya nagsalita, sa halip ay ibinalik ulit ang tingin sa akin. This time, her eyes became sharp and perilous.
