Living with Six Hot Maniac

Chapter 13

Lauren's POV

"You must be kidding me?" I asked my dad.

"No." He said and then smiled making me shocked.

"No! Hindi pwede! I can't do this anymore! Pinalampas ko lahat ng ginawa mo! But not this!" Lahat sila ay nagulat sa pagsigaw ko. I was so angry. I feel like he's controlling my life and freedom.

"I'm doing this for you. For your future." Sabi ni dad. Nag init lalo ang dugo ko sa sagot niya.

He must be kidding me.

"Really, dad? For me? For my future? You're joking, dad." At saka sarkastikong natawa.

"Yes. All of this is for your future." He said. I snapped.

How dare him lie to me! How dare he? Hindi ba siya nahihiya? Kaharap ng mga mgakakapatid na to? Kaharap si tita Karla?

"NO! You're doing this for yourself! All you want is power! You're doing this for your business, right? Because when I and Red got married, the Vergara's group of companies will be your business partner! Am I right, dad?" Tanong ko kay dad.

"Wait, what? Is it true, mom?" Tanong ni Red kay tita Karla.

"Anak, it's part of the deal." Tita said. Napangisi ako ng mapakla. Even tita Karla knows it too. Just fuck.

"No, mom! I can't do this!" Sabi ni Red at pabagsak na umupo sa sofa.

"Daughter, please do this for me. It's the only way to make our business more powerful!" Pakikiusap sa akin ni daddy. Natawa ako ng mapakla. I'm right.

"See? I'm right. You're doing this for business. For power. All you want is your name to be beautiful." I was so sad saying those word. I feel like I'm just a toy. That they can play whenever they want.

"No, anak. I'm also doing this for your future." Hirit pa ni daddy. Natawa muli ako ng mapakla at pabagsak na naupo sa sofa. Lumbay na lumbay ako. Paranag wala akong lakas tumayo. Tinignan ko siya sa mata ng malumanay ngunit may diin akong nagsalita sa kanya.

"Ano bang maganda mong ginawa para sundin kita sa hinihiling mo na yan? Ano ba mapapala ko jan, huh?" Tanong ko kay dad. He looked at me very confused.

"What are you talking about? Wala kang maayos na buhay kung hindi dahil sa business na to! Hindi naman kami nagkulang sayo! Nagkaganto lang tayo dahil jan sa katigasan ng ulo mo! You never listened to us!" Para akong masusuka sa mga sinabi niya? Napatayo na ako sa inis.

"The fuck are you talking about? Hindi nagkulang? Are you fucking kidding me, old man?" Galit na tanong ko sa kanya. Agad siyang tumayo at dinuro ako. Galit na galit ang kanyang muka na nakatingin sa akin. Tumiim ang kanyang bagang at bakas sa kanyang muka ang magpigil na ako'y pagsalitaan. Pero nagawa niya paren.

"Anak lang kita! Tandaan mo yan! Watch your mouth young lady! I'm your father! At least have respect in me! We're in front of many people! So disrespectful! Such a disgrace!" He said making me so mad.

I want to tell him lahat ng mga pagkukulang niya.

"No, old man. I am not a disgrace to this family. You are! Tell me, old man. When was the last time that we had bonding? When was the last time that we eat together? When?" Everyone is looking at me. But I was only looking at daddy who is looking at me with a confused face. He didn't answer my question so I asked again. "When was the last time that you say you love me? When was the last time that you picked me out from school? When?" He didn't answer again. "WHEN???" I shouted. Making him shocked. I just lost my temper. I want answer.
