Chereads / Am I Still The One? / Chapter 44 - Chapter 42

Chapter 44 - Chapter 42

Chandler's POV

I feel so much anger towards him, he killed my mom, my sister's friend, his friends, and he abducted all of us. I despise him to death. I want him gone, but not dead.

Unfortunately, even if his evilness led us to this, he's still my father. I hate to admit it but he raised us, he fed us, he did his responsibility and he took care of us. The moment he pointed the gun at himself made me trembled.

"Dad, don't! Stop that!" I disagreed.

Maybe he could change, if he would. Does he deserve death? No, he still needs to realize what he has done to us, to me. 

I can see their reactions, stopping my evil father to kill himself is not a decent idea. They must despise me now either but as his son, I can't let him die just like that. I am sure, my mom agrees with me, I heard her love was great for my father. She loves us that she won't like the idea that we will let our father kill himself.

"Dad, listen to me. You're my father, whatever happens, you're still my father," Tears went out from eyes. "Do you remember when I was five years old? I fell off the well, it was so deep that I got so scared, then you rescued me. You carried me in your arms, wet and weeping but when you told me that you love me and you would not leave me ever, I felt safe."

Daddy cried harder than before, his gun still at his head. "What are you trying to do? Fooling me? You hate me, right?" He changed his expression into an angry one.

"That's right, it's natural but I realized that you're still my dad, and my love for you lies within my heart, if only you see through me," I felt their gaze fixed at me--with disbelief--but no one seems to interrupt. "If only you can feel. I should despise you but as I remembered this moment of us, I think I should save you too. Chandria and I care for you because you cared for us first. We love you, Dad. And to be honest, I really like to be just like you, caring and loving."

"You want to be like me? You idolize me?" Dad asked as if the words couldn't sink in his mind.

I continued, "Yes. We can still be together. You can change, I will forgive you. I can forgive you because I love you. I want to be with you, so stop this. Think about it, if you got caught, I won't be able to see you every day. Dad, I am giving you a second chance, you deserve that." And I fixed my eye contact with him.

He slowly pull down the gun from his head, "We can be together? You're giving me second chance? You'll forgive me? You love me? Those can happen? I like that, son. So, I guess," He sniffled. "We can be together if these people die!" Then, the gun bang and bang on a different directions. Frightened screams filled the air.

I did my best to untangle my hands behind, and when I have, I remained silent and pretend it's still tied. I don't know why it is easy to untie now but that doesn't matter. "Dad! There's no need to kill to get rid of them, don't kill them."

"They're hindrances!" He stopped shooting and faced me. His vein is popping out of his skin. "They can't live!"

"I will go with your plan, I will go with you, forget about them as if they never exist. Spare them and just have me. I swear to death, I will do it."

"No! You can't!" I heard Ken cried and it broke my heart. If this is the way I could save them, then I will do it. This is the right time to do this.

"You promise?" Dad asked.

"You can even meddle with my life when you spare them. I will even marry Ianne."

Their cries got louder, and they tried their best to untangle themselves but I shook my head slightly. 

Daddy grinned and nodded, "Good. Guys, locked him up in our house." He turned when no one followed his order. Then, we saw no men inside this place anymore. "Where are they?!" Dad hissed.

And suddenly, the door flew open and Ianne motioned towards us, two guns in her hands. "It's no use if you agree to marry me, I will not have your sincerity." She smiled and winked at me. Then, intuition started in my mind but things became clear when she pointed both gun at my father. "Your false beliefs led you to be wicked. I thought I'd be happy if I will get your son, but no, I just became like you, selfish. I can't believe I helped you, crazy old man. I should put and end in this."
