SIMULA

"From this day on, you are not my daughter.

You are just ashamed to this family!" Dumagundong ang boses ni Daddy sa buong bahay.

Galit na galit ito sa akin dahil sa scandal na hindi ko naman alam kung saan galing. Hindi ko nga alam kung kanino galing iyon. Kung sino mangtao ang nag edit ng videong yon pagbabayarin ko siya.

"Daddy, hindi ako ang nasa video. Ilang beses ko ba dapat na sabihin yun sa iyo?" Desperadong aniya ko.

Bakit ba hindi niya ako pinapaniwalaan? Bakit? Parang hindi ako anak kung pagdudahan ako.

"Hindi ko magagawa iyon, Dad. Hindi ako gagawa ng isang bagay na alam kung ikasisira ng pamilyang ito," nanlulumong sabi ko kay Daddy habang nakatingin sa mata niya. "I would never ever do anything to this family to be ruined. I never ever do that. You know that, Dad." I Sincerely said habang nag-uunahan sa pagtulo ang aking mga luha.

Even he won't believe me at least I defend my self to him. I never regret defending myself to him. He knows how I always obey him. How dare he believes in that peiceshit video.

He signed.

"Maybe, for the better of this family. You should leave and never comeback again. It's very very difficult for me to do this but I have to let you go to protect the name of our family," he said calmly.

I look at him in anger but I choose to remain calm. "How dare you, Dad! I am your only daughter for god sake. How could you do that to me?" Hindi makapaniwalang saad ko.

I can't believe him. Paano niya kayang itakwil ang anak niya dahil lang sa gusto niyang protektahan ang apelyido niya. To protect his name he needs to disowned his own daughter for his power? The nerve.

"Rhandier!"

Ang malakas na sigaw ni Mom ang nagpasindak kay Dad. Ngunit nanatili pa rin siyang walang emosyon at kalmado.

Mom really has this power to make my Dad coldness to melt just a snap of her finger. My Mom was really my Dad's weakness. Kaya niyang mawala ang anak huwag lang asawa.

He will always choose my mother even his last name will be deleted. He will protect my Mom no matter what.

"Anong ginagawa mo? I heard your voice. Rinig na rinig ng dalawang tainga ko kung paano mo itakwil ang anak natin. Paano mo nagagawa iyan?" Hindi makapaniwalang tanong ng aking ina sa aking ama.

Tumalikod sa amin si Dad. Nararadaman at alam kung ramdam din ni Mom ang galit na aura ni Dad pero ipinagsawalang bahala niya ito.

Alam ko rin na ayaw ni Dad na makita ang mukha ni Mom. Nagiging mahina siya pag nandiyan si Mom.+

Nilapitan ako ni Mom and hinawakan ang kamay ko."You okay baby?" She asked sweetly.

I just nodded and smile and mumbled thank you to her.

"Huwag muna ipagtanggol ang anak mo, Kheavine. Ginagawa ko 'to para protektahan ang pangalan ng pamilya natin. Ang pangalang prinotektahan ng ninuno natin. Kung lagi mong ipagtatanggol ang batang iyan lalaki ang ulo niyan," he said, furiously.

Bawat salita ni Dad ay may diin at maotoridad.

"Hindi ako papayag na itakwil mo ang anak natin. Kung itatakwil mo ang anak ko, itakwil mo nalang din ako para tapos na lahat ng pasanin ko sa pamilyang ito!" nagpipigil sa galit na sabi ni Mom.

Ayaw ko na nakikitang ganito ang pamilya ko. Nag-aaway-away kaming lahat dahil lang sa isang pagkakamaling iyon. Dahil lang sa video na hindi ko alam kung kanino. At yon ang aalamin ko.

Lumingon si Dad sa amin dahil sa sinabi ni Mom.

"Gusto mo talagang kinukunsinti ang batang iyan?" Tanong nito kay Mom habang nakaturo ang hintuturo nito sa akin.

Naglakad papunta si Mom kay Dad. "Hindi ko kinukunsinti ang anak ko. Pinoprotektahan ko siya sa mga taong sinisiraan siya at pandidirihan siya! At alam mo 'yong masakit doon?" Nanlulumong tanong ni Mom kay Dad .

"Sa dami ng tagahusga niya hindi niya inaasahang kasama doon ang ama niya na mahal na mahal niya." Napailing nalang si Mom.

"I am so disappointed and feel ashamed that I choose you as my Husband!" The last sentence my Mom said before walked towards me and hug me tight.

My father frozed.

"I won't let anyone to hurt you, Baby."she lift up my chin. "No one will hurt you and be your life judge even your own father. Do you understand?"

I just nodded and smile.

"Mom, you sacrifice a lot for me amd thank you. But I can't let you leave Dad," I looked at dad eye and he did the same. "It's not me on the video. Someone want to ruined our name and I promise I will find the culprit and whoever behind scandal. I promise I will cleaned our name. But for now I will leave these family and I will not communicate with you for the meantime. I will prove that I am not in that video," I said sincerely.

I saw my Dad breath heavily before he nodded." Leave the house, Lharefa. Do whatever you want but never ever wear the name of our family." He seriously said before wink at me.

That's my signal.

"Rhandier?" Mom shouted and looked Dad deadly.

Oh no!

Dad just zip his mouth and put his hands up. Like giving up.

I just tapped my Mom shoulder. "Let me handle everything own my own, Mother. I can live own my own, trust me."
