And when you become, I wish that your children won’t do to you what you’ve been doing to me, son.” Oh Dad… Parang naluluha siya na rinig na rinig niya ang malagong at mapagkumbabang boses ng ama niya kaya napaupo siya sa stainless na mahabang upuan, sapo ang ulo.

Dahil kung ako lang, kung wala siya, kanina pa ako nagwala. "Well, there are a lot of business failures and losses. Knowing what kind of daughter Jothea is, even becoming an employee of a company would be hard for her. She wouldn't stay that long. It's either she will quit or they will fire her," my father responded. That made my self-esteem low. How can he discourage his own daughter like this? As if I didn't come from him.

Napatingin ako sa kanya kasi naramdaman ko ang pag-tingin niya sa akin. "Don't hate your Dad. Your Father is not as bad as you think." Kumunot ang noo ko. "Despite what he did to you?"

"Malapit na aking mamatay kaya bago sana ako mawalan ng hininga ipakita niyo naman sa akin na okay kayong lahat. Na maayos kayo bago ako mawala."

Hindi ba kayo naaawa kay Simone na siyang taga linis ng nga kalat niyo?!" ani ni Daddy.
