Novel & Cerita Honor Thy Father

“Kay Chelsea ka mag-sorry, anak. But I just want you to know na... hindi mali iyong ginawa mong pagtatanggol sa maddy mo.” “Bakit po ayaw nilang maniwala sa akin tungkol kay maddy?” “Honey, some people are not and will not always be willing to understand you and who your maddy is, but you know what's more important?” “What po?” “That you always, always find it in your heart to understand, respect, and accept your father and the likes of him no matter what others might say about him and them. Ikaw lang, kayo lang, anak, sapat na.”

"Amber, he's my father, Gabriel Villacorda." " Nice to finally meet you, Hija." Magiliw ang tono ng Ginoo. Malawak ang ngiti nito at hindi nawala ang kinang sa mga mata nito. "Noon ka ba bukam-bibig nitong anak ko. And now, I understand why, you are naturally gorgeous." "Thank you po." "No, thank you." Bumaling ito sa batang abala sa pagkain. "I never thought that being a grandfather is not that bad. Hyde is such an adorable kid."

Kaya't kahit risky ang papasukin nitong trabaho ay hindi siya gaanong mag-aalala. "Mom?" pukaw ni Theodore sa ina dahil bukod sa napalalim na yata ang pag-iisip nito ay nakalimutan na yatang naghihintay siya ng blessing mula rito. "Don't worry, son. As your father said a while ago, you have my blessings on your plan. Just take care of yourself so that when the time will come, you are healthy to face and take care of them too. Don't worry about them, maybe you will be away for a while but they surely know that you're their father and Zoe is their mother. Thank you, son. Thank you for being strong. Go and become stronger. And finally, don't forget to ask HIS guidance. Wherever you go and whate

Hindi niya alam kung paano niya ito sasagutin ng tama. Bumuntong hininga siya at masuyong hinaplos ang pingi nito. "Kai, you are too young to understand everything. But... I... I can only say that... yes, you have a father. Every child has a mommy and also a daddy." "Then where is daddy, mommy?"

Over and over again. If I am wrong about it, I simply don't care anymore. My father doesn't seem to know the basis of right and wrong either, and it runs in our blood. For whatever a person is sowing, this he will also reap. And before I forgot, Hyacinth didn't die. Poor girl. Sisiguraduhin kong darating ang panahon na pagsisisihan niyang hindi pa siya namatay. I don't share what's mine.

"Hindi mo kasalanan ng mabuo ka kaya mas pinili ng Daddy mo na panagutan ka! Iniwan niya ako para pakasalan ang Mommy mo dahil buntis siya sa'yo!" Nagulat siya sa sinabi nito natigil siya sa pag-iyak at napatanga sa madastra. "Naging kabit ako ng Daddy mo, alam mo ba yon? Nagpakababa ako ng ganoon para magkaroon ka ng buong pamilya. At miski ng maging-legal akong asawa ng Daddy kinailangan kong intindihin ang kakulangan niya ng oras sa akin at sa mga kapatid mo para mahanap ka niya. Noo pa man, Mina, lagi ka ng priority ni Honoracio. Lagi na lang ikaw ang una sa listahan niya at kami... kami ng mga kapatid mo nakiki-agaw lang sa kakarampot na atensiyon maibibigay niya sa amin."

"Hah! eh sa gamit mo yang putanginang apilido nang papa mo, Sa tuwing headline yang pangalan mo ay kaagad na nagtatanong yung mga business partner kung ka-ano ano ka namin." "Don't worry maybe someday i will change this fucking surname of mine." "Alam mo ang ungrateful mo talaga ang gusto lang namin ng papa mo ay maging matino ka naman kahit minsan lang." Napatawa ako nang mapakla sa sinabi nito.

Buhay ng ama ko ang nais na kunin ng tao na lubos na pinagkatiwalaan ko. And at this point, when I don't know what will happen to my father, I am now feeling remorseful for even feeling hate towards him when I have learned all about his dirty works. Nagsisisi ako na hinusgahan ko rin siya base lamang sa kung ano ang sinabi ni Tristan sa akin na katauhan niya kahit hindi ko muna inalam ang buong katotohanan, kagaya rin kung paano mabilis ako na naniwala sa mga sinabi ni Tristan patungkol sa asawa ko. I believed Tristan more than I should have believed my own father and my husband, and now I am deeply regretting that.

But of course, I would never give in to my emotion that despite how proud I am for what he became especially when talking about career wise, hindi ko pa rin pwedeng pakawalan na lang ang galit na tinatago ko sa nakalipas. "My mom respects you, I respect you. Mula noon hanggang ngayon, siguro naman hindi lingid sa iyo na hanggang ngayon hindi pa rin pinakasalan ng daddy si Mommy and it's all because of you! You and your damn pride!" "Stop." I said coldly that my father's gaze turned on me. "You don't know a thing about me, you don't know a damn thing about the past. You shut up before--"

Gulong-gulo ang isipan ko sa kung ano ang nangyayari sa akin, bakit nagkakaganito si father Yves? "Kneel in front of me." Utos ni father at hindi ko alam pero parang may sariling isipan ang aking mga tuhod at agad na sinunod ang utos ni father Yves. Dinig ko ang mahinang pagtawa nito.
