"Kailangan dad." Tumawa naman ako ng mahina.

"Hindi ko akalaing hinarap mo ang lahat ng ito na wala kami. Kami amg gumawa ng problema pero ikaw ang naghirap para solusyunan ito. Hindi ko mapigilang  sisihin ang sarili ko sa mga mangyayari sayo ngayon." I can sense the sadness and guilt on him.

Tinapik ko ang balikat niya. "Dad, pamilya tayo. Dapat sa pamilya may isang magsasakripisyo para maging maayos ang buhay ng iba."

"And you choose to sacrifice?"

"Dahil ako ang mas nakakaalam sa nangyayari."

"You could share that to us."

"Mas mabuting maging masaya kayo ng walang inaalala."

Napabugtong hininga naman si dad. "But we are not happy when you where gone."

"Atleast you're safe and you tried to be happy."

Napatingin naman sa akin si dad. He smiled at me, a proud smile that every child want to see.

"Thank you, thank you. I'll help you this time."

I smiled at him, my dad. I love you so much. Bigla ko namang naisip si Brianne.

"How's your talk with Brianne dad?" Nag-usap sila kagabi bago sila matulog. Nauna akong nakatulog sa kanila kaya hindi ko alam ang nangyari.

"I'm surprised." Napakagat siya ng kanyang labi. "She's not even mad at me."

Nakita ko kong paano nanubig ang mata niya. "She just hugged me so tight telling me how much she wanted to do this for years." Napangiti naman ako sa narinig ko. "What did I do in my past life, for me to deserve this."

Napangiti lang ako habang nakatingin sa kanyang masaya. I'm happy that he accept Brianne.

"Biance was my first love." Napatingin naman ako kay dad. Hindi ko alam kong anong kwento nila bakit nagkaganun. "She never been mine, then suddenly she was married to my bestfriend, Drake."

Napakagat naman ako ng labi sa narinig ko, that was totally big pain.

"My parents decided to arrange marriage me with Loiusa. Dahil na rin wala akong balak magpakasal sa iba, I marry her, I marry my bestfriend. Hindi rin nagtagal ay minahal ko rin si Loiusa, nahulog rin ako sa kanya. She's the most amazing woman I meet in my whole life." Napangiti si dad.

"Then I became close to Biance. I feel again with my first love, I crave for her to be mine, when we got close that feeling came back. I want her to me mine, I can't stop my self. I cheated with your mother, Leven ang you are already there but I can't stop myself. I'm sorry." Napayuko nalang siya. Tinapik ko lang ang balikat niya, I want him to feel that it's all in the past.

"Nalaman iyon ni Loiusa, she confronted me in the most calm way. Inside our bedroom she talked to me like we're just talking the school you wanted to go in. The time that I realized that I can't loose Loiusa is when she asked me the question that turn my world upside down. I can fully remember her question, 'You love her, do you want us to get divorce?' she's so calm while saying that but her eyes speaks the opposite. I saw how her eyes hold pain inside her, I hurted her, I hurted the woman I truly love the most." Napaiyak na pala si dad. Pinipigilan ko naman ang sariling umiiyak.

"I said no on her question. I immediately talk to Biance and ended everything we had, but I didn't know she's already inlove with me. I heard her and Drake talking the day before that happened, she just showed intention with me because Drake also want Loiusa. She she's pregnant with my child, I didn't believe her, my mind is keep on telling me that she's just lying. I came to Loiusa and fix everything I did. Sinuyo ko ang ina mo ng ilang taon bago siya nagtiwala sa akin muli. Hindi nawala ang pagmamahal niya sa akin, pero ang tiwala niya ay wala na. I broke her trust, and I fixed it by myself for years of hard work." Tumitig sa akin si dad.

"Wag na wag kang gagaya sa akin." Yan ang sinabi niya bago kami napalingon sa labas ng gazebo.

"GRANPA YOU SHOULD EAT ALREADY!" Napangiti naman kaming dalawa ng makita namin si Raivian na hindi kalayuan sa amin.

"I should go, take the lesson in my story anak." I nodded at him at masaya naman siyang tumakbo papunta kay Raivian at kinarga ito. Kumaway naman sa akin ang anak ko kaya kumaway ako pabalik.

Sa kanilang paglalakad pabalik at nakita ko rin na naglalakad si Nigel papunta sa kinaroroonan ko.

Okay, time is up. Oras na para sumabak.

He silently sat on the sofa in front of me.

"Hindi siya lumalabas, he's just keep on sending people attacking us." Agad niyang sabi.

"Are we on risk?" I asked.

"No, we're cool. Pero hindi pwedeng palagi nalang ganito. We need to pull him out on where he's hiding."

Napatahimik naman kaming dalawa. Naalala ko naman ang planong iniisip ko. I smirked at napakunot naman ang noo niya.

"Why pull him out if theirs an another way."

Mas napakunot pa ang noo niya. "What do you mean?"

I smiled at him and I state my plan.

"That's to risky V."

I smiled. "I won't die, I promise."

Narinig ko namang napamura siya.
