16. Dear Best Friend, PERFORMANCE
Ciara's POV
We're enjoying breakfast with my parents in the Dining Room early in the morning. I got up early since we have a performance at ten a.m., and I am looking forward to it.
I'm also pleased since, contrary to my expectations, my parents now have more time for me. "Sweetie, do you want us to go on a trip this vacation? Or do you have any plans?" mom asked as we ate.
"Yes, mom," I replied, nodding. "My friends and I had planned a pleasant holiday at the Buenavista, Brett Swimming Pool."
"How about after your get-together with your friends? We're thinking of going visit your grandparents in Surigao City," dad says, interrupting the talk.
"Good idea, dad! Besides, I've been wishing to spend time with both of you, and this will un

Ciara's POVWhen we arrived at McDonald's, Patricia inquired,"What did she say to you?""Nothing,"I explained,"she was just sorry and said her father is coming home today, so Mr. Phillip Garcia will be in Butuan.""Which implies, Shan's father too,"Faith remarked abruptly, sighing,"does Shan already know about this?""I doubt it,"I shrugged."Julie never informed Shan about it. She wants to tell Shan, but she hasn't had the opportunity to meet him yet."I quickly saw Patrick waking in our direction so I stood up in my seat and assisted Patrick in lifting the plate of food."Thanks, Ciar. So, what's our gossip for today?"

Ciara's POVI hurriedly ran out of the fast-food chain to catch up to Shan where I came up to him. I grabbed him and he turned to me, "Shan, where are you going? Please come back."He said bitterly,"No, I'm not going back, I'm heading straight home! I've lost my mood and appetite,"but I stopped him."Shan,"I replied,"what you said to Faith was so terrible. She's simply worried about you, and what's wrong with all of that? Why not give your real father a chance? I'm sure —"He suddenly punched a metal pole which surprised and terrified me,"Can you all mind your own f***ing biz?! Please, don't control my life on who I like being with! Why are you pushing me t

Ciara's POVI was bored viewing movies and clips on Facebook while I scrolled through my phone. Things are different now that Shan is out, and I haven't spoken to him since our earlier fight.I'm not used to being enraged and irritable with each other, but I'll give it some time. My parents are right that he requires time to reflect and change. Maybe he was surprised by what was going on, but I can't make him accept it right immediately, especially since he has no idea who that man is.According to Patrick, I only feel sad for his biological father. I'm sure he misses Shan terribly because Shan is his son, of course. Shan, I'm sure, is unaware of this. Shan's father used to visit him when he was a child, according to Mrs. Anderson, until he was four years old.I was just baffled as to why he hadn't shown up? What a wasting of Shan's chance to get to know h

Shan's POVCiara and I walked towards the restaurant hand in hand. We decided to return, and now it's time to confront him.I sighed and thought to myself, "It's time to give him a chance to let me love myself," and I appreciated Ciara's support and understanding.I looked at my side, who was smiling, and realized that I adored her. It was my fault that it took me so long to discover it. I can't afford to lose her, and I'm not sure what I'll do if she vanishes with me.I noticed that mom, dad, and Phillip were still present when we arrived at the restaurant. I'm not sure what to call him yet, but I'm not sure I want to call him Dad.When Mom and Dad noticed me, they stood up and approached me. Mom hugged me and held my face, his eyes red, "Shan, I'm glad you're back," she murmured before letting go of our embrace,

Ciara's POVToday is the first day of our vacation! Today is October 29th, and my grandmother's birthday is the next day. We're now bringing two cars, one for our family and the other for Uncle Derek's.We intended to seal ourselves in our van while Shan's parents, Jane, and Uncle Derek's family stayed in the other van. I'm confident that Lola's 66th birthday celebration will be a big success.Surigao is something I miss as well. I was born in Surigao City and moved to Butuan City when I was four or five years old. My father's birthplace is Butuan, but she met Mom and also Dad's work before he was deployed to Surigao."Are your things okay there?" dad prompted my friends, as we double-checked our belongings in case someone had forgotten something.The drive from Butuan to Surigao is not long. It takes around an hour and a half.

We're enjoying our night out! We can do what we want, even my parents are swimming with us and I can see that they are so sweet together. I didn't see them being sweet before, of course, they are always not around."Wow, these lovebirds are so sweet," my uncle Derek joked toward my parents.
