Chapter 7

“Message me if there’s a problem, okay?”

I nodded to Dad in response. I only woke up because Dad meant to wake me up to say goodbye. They said they had a business trip and it would take three days, so Dad just told me some advice and reminders while he's on their trip. Well, he just making sure that I won't do any stupid things.

He’s like this whenever he is out of town, never running out of reminders for me. Out of sheer concern, he wanted to take me on his business trips but that was not possible so he would just feed me instructions and reminders of what I should not do while he was away.

“Dad, I won’t do anything that can harm me. So, just chill and focus on your business trip.” I gave an assurance to stop him from worrying. “Besides, Manang Elisha is there to take care of me. You don't have to worry."

I know how to behave without Dad. I'm not like others who party at their house when their parents are on a business trip. Almost invited all my schoolmates and got drunk overnight.
