Undoubtedly Sold to Him

New Life *** Sequence's PoV I was puffing as I was catching my own breathe. Hingal na hingal ako matapos kong makompleto ang 100 push up. Umupo ako sa may wooden bench at kinuha ang bottled water ko saka uminom. Pawis na pawis ang buong mukha ko at katawan. Ahhh, I deserve a relaxing bath later. Ilang minuto pa akong nakaupo doon ng bumukas ang pinto at pumasok ang Daddy ko. We're at our house's training room, scratched that, Mansion's training room. "Done?" he asked. I nodded at pinakita sa kanya ang timer. "Improved, you got it to 15 minutes this time" aniya at binalil sa akin ang timer na iyon. My Dad, personally trained me, for it's somewhat convenient in our business. At first, tutol ako. Syempre, sino ba naman ang gugustuhin ang mag training araw-araw? Yung first time ko nga, nahimatay ako kasi half a day ako hindi pinakain ni Dad o pinainom. He said, I would train my body, kasi magagamit ko ito in the future, o in case of emergency. Eh, hindi ko naman alam kung para saan ito. Pero ngayun, I kinda enjoyed it. My whole life revolved in this kind of set-up. Training sa umaga, mag-aaral naman sa hapon. I am homeschooled, at hanggang high school iyon. My life is that boring. Kahit minsan lang ako nakakalabas ng mansion. And since I'm 18 na kahapon, I think my Dad had something in his mind. "Malapit na ang pasokan, yes?" he asked kaya tumango ako. Hindi ko alam ang nasa isip ni Dad, pero parang may hint na ako. Either sa ibang bansa n'ya ako ipa-senior high or dito sa Pinas. Or baka hanggang college ko ata i-homeschooled ako. Di'ko ata tanggap iyon -,-. "I think it's time for you to enjoy your life, Sequence. Your training stops here" para akong isinayaw sa ulap dahil sa sinabi ni Dad. Your training ends here Your training ends here Your training ends here Without second thought, napayakap ako kay Dad sa sobrang tuwa. Hindi naman dahil sa ayaw ko ng training. It is just that, I can now drive my bikes and cars without a doubt. I can go anywhere I want. "Woah, thanks, Dad!" I happily said and he chuckled. "I'm not done yet," aniya kaya napakalas ako sa kanya. I looked at him with creased forehead. "What do you mean, Dad?" Excited kong tanong kahit nangunot ang noo ko dahil gusto ko malaman agad iyon! "Yes, you can study in a private school. But I think you still need to hide your identity as a Yashigami." and yep, I'm one-fourth Japanese. Since my Dad is half Japanese- half Filipino. "Uhuh, why is that, Dad?" I asked in curiosity. He sighed then said, "No one knows you exists, except us." Dad said. Masakit? Oo, kasi wala namang nakakakilala sa akin sa labas. Siguro, Mommy and Daddy, Family each side, and mga tauhan lang namin. Hindi naman sa kinahihiya ako ng Pamilya ko, pero masakit pa rin eh. "We were doing this in your own good, Sequence. As a Father, I need to protect my family no matter what it costs. And I know, you understand us. Someday, you will realize everything" he said as he caressed my hair. Napangiti ako, I know that. Pero minsan, gusto ko na din na suwayin sila. Kaso naalala ko ang mga sakripisyo nila para lang maitago muna ako. And I know the reason behind it. *** Agad akong napamulat sa mata ng maramdaman ko ang lamig ng tubig. Kanina pa pala ako dito sa bath tub nakatulog. Nagbanlaw lang ako saka lumabas na tanging tuwalya lang ang nakabalot sa katawan ko. Pumasok ako sa walk-in closet ko saka nagsuot ng comportabling damit. A black t-shirt and a pedal jeans. I dried my hair at hinayaan ko nalang iyon na nakalugay. Pagbaba ko sa unang palapag ng mansion ay dumiretso ako sa dining hall. Naabutan ko doon ang isamg cook namin kaya nagpagawa ako ng meryenda ko, cookie dipped in melted chocolate and a cup of Irish coffee. It's my own snack, feel ko lang uminom ng kape at kumain ng cookie. "Thank you, Tessa" I said ng mailapag nito sa harap ko ang gusto ko. She bow at me saka umalis na din. Matapos kong maubos ang kinain ko ay dumiretso ako sa kwarto ko. I checked the gift Dad gave me yesterday. Naka lagay ito sa isang rectangular attaché case. My heart beats so fast in excitement. Kahit may idea na ako kung ano ito, hindi ko pa din maiwasang ma-excite. When I opened it, my mouth instantly opened in awe. This thing is beautiful. Isang Katana at dual hand gun lang naman ang laman. The Katana's hilt is color gold and black. Kinuha ko ito saka hinawakan. Napakagaan sa pakiramdam. I unsheathe the sword, and I see some flick of light from behind and I instantly rolled myself in the floor and blocked its attack. Tinulak ko ito gamit ng hawak na espada saka ako tumayo at inatake ito. It swiftly moved its body like a pro, avoidong all my attacks and blocked it. Ng makakita ako ng opening at agad kung sinugod, ngunit pinunterya ko ang maskara na suot nito, at hindi ako nabigo ng matanggal ito. Kasabay ng pagkalaglag ng kanyang maskara, ganun din sa mahaba nitong buhok. She beamed at me kaya napailing ako. My sword is still pointing at her kaya binaba ko na ito ng makilala ito. "You're now ready, sweetheart" malambing na sambit nito. I went to her and hugged her so tight. "Mom, kilan ka pa nakabalik?" O asked. She caressed my hair then kiss the top of my head. "Oh, I just came back." natatawa nitong sambit. "As always, you're aware of your surroundings" aniya kaya natawa ako. Kanina ko pa kasi naramdaman ang kanyang presensya, kaya ko naisipang buksan ang regalo ni Dad. "Sweetheart, your grandpa, and grandma send their gifts. You can pick it out later" tumango ako saka lumabas na kami. *** Matapos naming kumain ng hapunan ay dumiretso kami sa study room. May sasabihin daw kasi sila eh. Kahit ilang buwan pa naman bago magsimula ang klase, nagpaalam na ako sa kanila na titira ako ng mag-isa. Wala naman silang tutol, since it's my time daw to explore muna bago mag pasukan ng klase. Pagpasok ko sa loob ay nadatnan ko sa Mommy at Daddy sa may couch naglalambingan. "Honey, stop tickling me haha-gosh!" Mommy said habang natatawang lumalayo kay Dad. Ng mapansin nila ako ay agad akong pinaupo ni Dad. But before Dad can spoke, "Sweety, ito na pala ang regalo ni Grandpa, Grandma, Granny Shira and Grappy Yaro" Mommy give me set of keys. Kada susi ay may nakalagay kung para saan. Nagulat ako ng may nakita akong dalawang susi. Susi ng garahe ni Grandpa at Grandma. My Grandpa's garage are full of air transportation vehicles. Mapa jet plane o chopper. Kay Grandma naman ay mga sports car. Woah, surely this oldies spoiled me. "Oh, I will surely tell them how I love their gifts," I murmured, kaya natural lang sila. "Sequence, we'll send Butler Jin as your guardian. Is that okay?" My Dad ask kaya napatangu ako. I understand naman. "Don't worry, sa isang condo kayo titira. Butler Jin serves as your protector na rin." Mommy said kaya napatangu ulit ako. Wala namang big deal sa akin. I can't live independently pa. Saka need ko din ng alalay, hehe. "You'll be using grandma's middle name," Mommy said. "Altero. Sequence Altero is your name outside" Dad finally said, and I smiled. Altero? Not bad. *** Note: Woah, can't believe I finished this Chapter HAHA. Honestly, this is the fruit of my boredom kaya ito nagawa -,-
