Chapter 1

Sierina’s Condo

New York City

“Oooh! Yes baby, you’re so good! Harder! Please, harder!”

“You’re perfect...” Christian cupped my face while our bodies were moving with the same rhythm. I don’t remember how long we’ve been having s*x. “Aaah, yes! F-Faster C-Chris...” I demanded him “FASTER, PLEASE!”

My arms were wrapped around his neck, I can feel the friction on my back when he moves. “These are perfect...” he said with full of admiration on his eyes while caressing my breasts. I smirked knowing what he said is true.

“OOOH CHRISTIANNN!” I pulled his hair as I claimed his lips, I wrapped my legs around his waist while he is on the top of me. I felt his weight even more. “You’re good...” I whispered on his ears as I complimented him.

We were having our moment when suddenly we heard a loud noise from the outside “WHAT’S THAT?” Christian asked me. I looked confused too.

“Sierina!” a familiar voice was registered. I came to my senses after realising who owns that old man’s voice.

“f**k! IT’S DAD!” My eyes were wide open “Hurry!” I pushed Christian “You have to go!” I immediately wrapped my naked body with a blanket “GO! GO! GO!” I handed him his underwear and pants, he looked confused and nervous at the same time. “You must go! He’ll kill you if he seized you!”

He wore his pants and looked at me in dismay “Sie... promise me, we will continue this.”

“Chris you know me...” I smirked “No promises...”

He torridly kissed me and beamed “Ok then, call me whenever you need me.”

I just gave him my half-smile and pushed him outside, through the window. “I’ll see you again CAPT. SIERINA RAZON!” Christian mouthed before using the ladder for fire escape.

“SIERINA!” Dad is pounding the door really hard “OPEN THIS GODDAMN DOOR!!” I didn’t move, I sat on my mattress and carefully covered my body with the blanket, I know he found something causing this kind of reaction. I can feel. I’m done this time.

“Sierina!” at last, he’s inside my room now, and he’s fuming mad “WHAT THE FUCKIN HELL DID YOU JUST DO?” His jaw clenched while looking at me from head to toe.

Old man should chill, you know!

“You’ve just mentioned it! We F-U-C-K-E-D” I answered him I felt his heavy hand on my face. Oh man, that hurts!

“YOU w***e! You disgraced me!” I cupped my cheek where he hit. It stings, felt a little hot too. Did my ear just ring?

“You asked, I answered!” I yelled back at him “Bakit ba? What do you want?” naiirita ko na ring sagot. I want him to go! How long does he intend to stay? Man, this is really getting frustrating!

“WHAT ARE THOSE?” and he throw me a small familiar box “TELL ME!”

My jaw dropped, paano niya nakita? Nakatago kaya ito “P-Pregnancy test kits and c-condoms...” I murmured while looking at those.

“GOD! ANO BANG GINAGAWA MO SA BUHAY MO? BAKIT KA GANYAN?” Dad screamed “ARE YOU OUT OF YOUR MIND? NAG-IISANG ANAK KITANG BABAE, MATINO NAMAN ANG MGA KUYA MO!” He hold my shoulder and started shaking me “KAILAN KA BA MAGBABAGO? HUH SIERINA?”

I also wonder.

“Dad will you please stop it!” itinulak ko ang mga kamay niya “I’m old enough to control my own life!” I stood up and faced him. “You can’t control me just like how controlled my Big Brothers!”

“NO SIERINA! YOU WILL CHANGE WHETHER YOU LIKE IT OR NOT!” He said with finality “YOU’RE GOING BACK TO THE PHILIPPINES AND WILL NOT RETURN IN YOUR NORMAL LIFE UNTIL YOU LEARNED SOMETHING!” and he turned his back at me after that.

“NO!” I shouted back at him “You can’t control me OLD MAN!”

“Let’s see...” I heard him whispered before totally went out of the room.

The Next Day

Mr. Razon’s Office

Razon Aviation Services Inc.

New York City

“DAD! GIVE MY MONEY BACK!” I yelled at him as soon as I entered his office.

“Ma’am I told you, Mr. Razon is busy right now, you don’t have any appointments with him!” Daddy’s secretary keep on telling me, while holding my arm, trying to stop me. I glared at her.

“I DON’T NEED ANY APPOINTMENT BEFORE I’ll SEE MY FATHER b***h! SO BACK OFF!” I shouted. She was startled but remained standing on one side, shaking.

“Ana, what’s happening?” Dad asked his secretary as if I don’t exist.

“Sir, I-I’m sorry I t-told her tha-“

“UGH! SHUT UP!” I pushed her, sa galit kong ito, kahit sino masasaktan ko!

“SIERINA!” Sita ni Daddy, and he looked at his secretary “You can go now Ana.” he commanded her, Ana just nodded at him and went out of the office while looking down.

“What are you doing here?” he moved his swivel chair while reaching a folder on his left side. Hindi niya inalis ang tingin nya doon even though he is talking to me.

“Are you trying to kill me?” I walked near his desk, trying to calm myself, I really have to, nakasalalay ang buhay ko sa usapang ito.

“What are you talking about?” He asked at me innocently. Damn you old man!

“Come on Daddy! Just give me back all my money and everything will be okay!” I sat down on the chair in front of his desk, bihira lang ako bumisita sa company namin, two reasons lang kung bakit ako mapapapunta dito, una, pag kulang ang allowance na binigay sa akin at pangalawa when all my credit cards and bank accounts were freeze out! Just like now!

“Your money?” Dad chuckled “Sa pagkakaalam ko galing parin sa kompanya ang nare-received mong allowance monthly excluding your budget in your extra-curricular activities.” Daddy eyed at me. “At ang perang galing sa kompanya ay pagmamay-ari ko!” Dugtong niya “So basically, it’s not YOUR money, it’s MY money!” He crossed his arms; I really hate this old man!

“EXCUSE ME!” I stood up. I will regain myself, I won’t let this old man slap me with his money! “HAVE MY OWN JOB! I AM A PILOT! It’s a good paying job!”

“Exactly!” he said with his poker face “ But your salary is just ENOUGH for your vices…” he said “kung tutuusin Sierina kulang pa nga ang sweldo mo eh, you can ask all your signature bags, shoes, clothes and oh, maybe you can also check all your bills in different bars and hotels in different parts of the world with different men!”

Dad stood up and looked fed up with me. He looked at me as if I’m a huge sack of rice placed on his shoulders. “Don’t go around telling you’re pilot with a good pay. I don’t even remember when was the last time you’re on air!”

I didn’t find any words to counter his. If sasagot pa ako, mas lalala lang ang situation. I can’t even defend myself because of what he said just now. Well, those were facts after all.

“But Dad…” angal ko and suddenly the door opened.

“Oh Sierina, my beautiful sister, what a pleasant surprise!” Oh it’s my ever-gorgeous elder brother Slater, second in line, my eldest brother Sid is in a business meeting right now, the last thing I know he is in Japan, I called him last night to ask for some help pero I can’t reach him, he is too busy right now, and siya kasi ang pinaka close ko.

Itong si Slater, yeah I don’t call him Kuya, lagi kaming nag-aaway! We’re like water and oil. We can’t be together in a same room because for sure, someone will cry! He is the total different of my Kuya Sid. Si Kuya Sid lang ang nakakaintindi sa akin, even when we were still young.

“Shut up!” I scowled at him “Siguro sinuhulan mo si Daddy to freeze my bank accounts noh!” akusa ko.

“Talaga? Na freeze lahat? Pati credit cards mo?” he asked me na akala mo walang kaalam-alam “Wow, after twenty years, at last natauhan din si Daddy!” alaska niya bago siya naupo sa sofa na nasa harap ng desk ni Daddy.

He is sitting with refinement and poise, I must admit, nananalaytay talaga sa dugo namin ang pagiging residente sa Mt.Olympus. He is tall, just like Kuya Sid. Others also thought na kambal sila but no. They just look like each other lang talaga.

“Sierina, he doesn’t know anything…” Dad cut in “Ako ang nagdesisyon na kunin ng pera mo…”

I looked at him with disbelief. “And left nothing? Dad naman, isang linggo na akong namumuhay na parang isang daga!”

“Sierina, I even left fifty thousand anong namumuhay ng parang isang daga?” he answered me na parang mauubos na rin ang pasensya.

“Dad fifty thousand? Marami akong pangangailangan, babae ako…”

“Babaeng gastadora…” my brother added, I looked at him, damn you Slater! Sulsulan mo pa si Daddy, sige lang makikita mo pagdating ng mahal kong kuya!

“Wag kang makialam dito Slater! Ang problemahin mo ang asawa mo!” Slater is already married but I still don’t have any pamangkin. “Matanong nga kita! Asaan asawa mo ngayon?” He turned red, kala niya hindi ko alam na halos hindi na sila mag usap ng asawa niya, I hissed “Nakakapag-s*x pa ba kayo? My God Slater, you’ve been together for three years now pero hindi mo parin mabuntis ang asawa mo! Impotent ka ba? O talagang bading ka lang?” he stood-up, ganun din si Daddy, tumayo siya sa pagitan naming dalawa.

Slater looked at me angrily, alam ko kung paano siya galitin at asarin. Alam na alam ko!

“What now? You gonna beat me?” hiniwakan siya ni Daddy “How I pity your wife, nasa tamang kamay ba siya?” I gradually shook my head.

“THAT’S ENOUGH SIERINA!” Dad shouted, sila naman ang magkakampi eh, kung andito lang si Mommy, kung buhay lang si Mommy. This will never happen! “It’s okay Slate, I will just talk to her, pagpasensyahan mo na lang ang kapatid mo...”

“As always...” Slater sat down on the sofa, and loosened his tie.

“I will shut up and will not return here anymore after you returned my life... my money...” I declared

“Read this...” Dad handed me a brown envelope “ It’s a contract..” he added. He is calmer now.

I looked at him with disbelief “You look at me like a business? I am your child!” I screamed, matapos makita ang inabot.

He doesn’t listen to me and continued speaking “It says there that I will triple your allowance, give you new place to stay, new car to drive and everything you’ll ask, I can even give your part in this compan but in return, you’ll prove me na you will change, stop all the vices, straighten up all your misbehaviours, no more undeserving men and the likes...”

It’s like telling me, go on and SUICIDE!

“SHOOT!” sagot ko without even thinking, besides ang pinaka mahalaga ngayon ay mabalik ang pera ko. Kinuha ko ang ballpen sa pocket na nasa dibdib niya “I’ll take this!” saka ako pumirma “Ayan, my precious signature is on it!” I smiled back, looking excited. “So where are my credit cards?” I asked him while flashing my sweetest smile.

“Don’t rush it sweetheart” Dad sat on his swivel hair saka tinabi ang contract na pinirmahan ko “Hindi mo ba ako narinig kanina, I said ‘YOU HAVE TO PROVE ME’ , so basically I need proofs...” he beamed.

My jaw dropped “WHAT? H-HOW?” pumiyok ko pang tanong. I heard my brother’s evil laugh, sige tumawa ka ngayon, tsaka na kita babawian!

“I’ll send you to Philippines, live a simple life as possible and be a philanthropist!” Philippines? I have Sophie, my best-friend I know she-.

“...and try not to ask help from Sophie Rodriguez, receive money from her, and stay in her place...” he shook his head “or else void contract my Princess...”

What? This old man is always one step ahead of me!

“And one more thing, when you are under the contract, I’ll hold your license at kakausapin ko na rin ang lahat ng contacts ko that they will not allow you to pilot any plane.”

“WHAT?” I crumpled my face, It’s making me crazy.“Dad,please...”

“Sorry, nakapirma kana, I can send you to jail if you will not act according to the contract, you know that!”

He’s serious! I know he is damn serious! Hell no I’m going inside the jail! I can still remember when kuya Sid ran away from his arranged marriage Dad hired someone to put him inside the jail and let him stayed with eerie people.

Iniisip ko palang ang matulog sa malamig at dirty na sahig ng place na iyon, ahh! So yucky and it’s killing me na! Damn it!

Inabot niya sa akin ang isang mini brown envelope, I opened it, nandoon ang passport ko, ticket and some amount of money “Fifty thousand pesos is not bad at all to start a new life!” Dad said

I heard my brother’s crackling laugh, you little evil! Pasalamat ka wala akong lakas makipagaway ngayon sa iyo or else you’re dead kanina pa!

I just accepted my fate! Alam kong wala na akong magagawa, after all I cannot change Dad’s decision adding the fact na takot akong makulong!

“When I get back, you’re dead!” I warned Slater.

“I’ll wait little sis!” he smiled and waved “And oh please do say hello to PHILIPPINES for me!” and he grinned.

I just gave him my deathly glare and went out of the office.

Is this really my fate? Why I need to suffer?

Is it really GOODBYE NEW YORK, HELLO PHILLIPINES?
