Louie went to the precinct to visit his daughter Abigail.
“Dad, what are you doing here?”
“I’m sorry for what had happened, Abigail. Didn’t know this would happen to you.”
“I expect that dad, you didn’t care about me before, especially mom so I don’t need your sympathy.”
“Don’t be like that Abigail, maybe you feel like I don’t care about you, you, but I do.”
“If you care, you shouldn’t run, but you protect me from them because you are a coward. You are afraid of your own ghost. Because you are afraid of being imprisoned and you are afraid of damaging your reputation. Your family is not important to you, but you think about yourself. You don’t count.” Abigail shouted.
Louie just kept quiet because he knew Abigail was right.
“What?! Are you quiet? Because everything I said is true. Leave without needing you. I will deal with the problem alone because you can’t help.”
Louie just left feeling down because he was affected by what his daughter said.
~~~~~
Gio sat down first before he spoke.
“Dad, I have something to tell you. No one knows this, but because you are the only ally and I trust you.”
“What’s that son?”
“Dad, I’m the real father of what Naneth brings.”
“What?! Gio, what did you do?”
“Because that’s how it is dad, when Naneth was drunk, she would have called Kyla in case she made a mistake on the dial. She thought she called Kyla, but she called me. Of course, I went to her because I could hear she was drunk and I was worried. She was the only one there. I want to take her case because she doesn’t want to because she and her ex-husband Robin are fighting. So I just took her to the hotel so she could sleep there. I would have left in case she vomited. I was worried about her. I never left her. But that she seduce me, I could not restrain myself. I was tempted. I’m just a man dad you know that and there is something happen that night.” Said Gio.
“Oh! Alas, how is that? Have you confessed to Naneth what you did to her?
“I’m afraid dad, she might be furious with me so what I did to get her to allow me to marry her was through a contract we have an agreement that as long as she can’t find the father of what she’s bringing, I will take over first.” Gio’s story.
“Gio, you are only exacerbating the problem. What if Naneth finds out? Are you sure she will continue to marry you? Why didn’t you just admit it to him?”
“Dad, please! Help me. You are my only ally and can help me. Please, dad!”
Roel doesn’t know what to do with Gio because the situation has become complicated.
“You know, Gio, I’m not consenting to you, but it’s hard for what you want to happen. Do I still have a choice? Just make sure she knows your marriage is over. Because it’s embarrassing if he suddenly backs away.” Roel replied.
Gio approached Roel and hugged him. But there was still fear in his heart. What if Gio found out his secret? Is Gio still that sweet to him? He might hate it. So he just sighed.
He will just finish what he started because he has no option to back down. No matter what the consequences are, he will just accept it.
“Ah! Gio, when will Kyla’s mother be buried?
“She said the next day it seems,”
“Ah! Ok, I’ll come with you later in the presence of Kyla’s mother.”
“All right dad but I’ll go through Naneth first.”
“All right, it’s okay, I’ll just take a car with Amer and Franco,”
“Okay dad, let’s just meet there later.”
~~~~~
The next day, Kyla’s mother was buried, and her grandmother and her mother’s sister arrived.
Her dad was also there. She couldn’t stop herself from sobbing because of what had happened to her mother. She was about to collapse in extreme pain when she felt it.
“Mom… mom… I can’t! I can’t huhu!”
Her father hugged her. “Kyla, please stop! Be strong. You will also be able to overcome all the pain you feel.” Said, Rodney.
“Dad! I can’t huhu!”
“I understand you, Kyla, so please be strong. You can do that, Kyla.”
Kyla and her father’s acquaintances were saddened and sympathetic. A few minutes later, it was reported that the others had gone to his mother’s last grave.
Kyla and her father left last. Dominic was waiting for her.
“Kyla, be strong. You can get through all this when Karl and I need you. Just call me and I’ll visit you once in your apartment.” His father ordered.
“Okay dad, thank you! Take care.”
“All right, I’ll go first. Dominic is waiting for you.”
“I’ll be home soon, dad.”
“All right, I’ll just send Dominic here.”
“Kyla! Are you okay? Won’t you go home?
“It’s not too late for me to want to be with mom.”
“All right, I’ll just go with you.”
~~~~~
Robin returned to the province to visit his son.
“It’s good that you even thought of visiting us, Robin.”
“Lira, I just arrived and we are arguing again. You heard again that my uncle Ramon just died.”
“I know, but I hope you thought of us here. You didn’t even send us to your uncle’s grave.” Disgusted, Lira said.
“Do we still have to argue just because I didn’t send you to my uncle’s grave?”
“Another Robin, I read some news about you. Is it true that you are not the real son of Mr. Tan?”
“Yes, what! Are you satisfied?” Robin shouted.
“Why are you mad? I’m just asking. You can answer me properly.” Said, Lira.
“Lira, please just keep my head warm. That’s why I’m here to see the child so that I can lose my temper.”
“So! It’s just like that. You only sent our son here. I wasn’t one of them.”
“What are you like as a child? Common sense, of course, you’re already there. Her baby is mine.”
“What is happening to you? In the morning you quarrel.”
“Robin, because mom, I was just asking questions and then shouted back.”
“I just arrived because you finished opening your mouth to me.”
“That’s enough. I’ll leave you first because I’m just going to the market. And can he be right to quarrel with you? You look like dogs and cats.” Said, Lora.
“All right mom, ah! Mom, your friend called and said that next week you will meet in the city to talk.”
“Ah! Is that so, all right? Where will we meet?”
“She said in a park because she will also bring the one who she taking care of as she was a therapist so that he can breathe fresh air,” Lira replied.
“All right, tell him we’ll meet.”
~~~~~
The next day…
Roel and Jean met, and he told her about her sister’s death. Jean felt very sad and angry with Abigail for killing her only sister.
She can’t go there because her family will see her and it’s not time for her to show up. So Roel just accompanied her to the memorial cemetery where Cecilia was buried.
“Ate, I’m sorry if you disappeared, and we didn’t even meet. I know you’re excited to see me, but I still can’t show up to my opponent until we can be sure of success. We have more plans to make. Huhu!” tearfully said, Jean.
“Be strong Jean, we can also overcome all this and you will also get justice. I hope you have forgiven me little by little.” Said Roel.
“Thank you Roel. Somehow, you are slowly recovering from me because you care for Gio,” Jean replied.
“That’s okay. Let’s see if someone else sees us.”
Just as Roel and Jean left, Dominic and Kyla visited.
“Kyla, isn’t that Sir Roel? Who was the woman with him who got in his car?”
“Yeah? I don’t know and I can’t say because her face is wrapped.”
“They came from here because there was a lighted candle.”
“Yes, but who are that lady with him?”
“I don’t know either. Let me ask Gio tomorrow. Maybe he knows who his dad is with,” Dominic replied.
Will they know who Roel was with that day?
