I woke up late at night and I can hear a loud noise coming from downstairs. I rolled my eyes and got off the bed then headed for the door. Slowly turned the lock and finally opened.

I was in the middle of the stairs when I heard Dad's voice. "What do you want now? Isn't the money I gave you enough for you to leave my family? I've done everything you want but what else do you need? I swear Miguel when you get through my family you won't be happy and I wouldn't hesitate to do something you would not like. "

When I got to the living room I saw Dad with his back to me. One of his hand is holding his waist and the other is holding the phone that is in his ear.

"Dad?" I called and he immediately turned around.

I was about to approach when he suddenly raised his hand that was on his waist and told me not to approach so I stopped from moving. "We'll talk later." He says on the other line then cut their conversation.

"It's late honey go back to bed." He even smiled at me.

"Where's Mommy?" Suddenly the expression on his face changed.

"Go back to bed now honey. We'll visit Mommy tomorrow, okay?" He patted my head.

"But I want to see her now, Dad. Mommy didn't come home yesterday and so as you. Where have you been?" I pouted.

"We'll go to Mommy tomorrow, for now go to bed and back to sleep. I promise, you will see Mommy tomorrow." I smiled at him and nodded.

My day became brighter the next day because I would finally see Mommy. Shw wasn't come home to our house for a few days so I'm wondering where she is or where she went.

When I went downstairs I immediately went straight to the kitchen. I found Dad there having breakfast as well.

"Good morning, Dad." I greeted him warmly and then approached him and gave him a kiss on his cheek.

"Morning, honey." He smiled then kissed my hair.

"Are we going to Mommy?"

"Yes. But I'll call your brother first."

My brother is studying somewhere in the Philippines and our only communication is through phone and sometimes doing face time.

I thought I would finally see my Mommy but that didn't happen. When we stepped inside the Hospital my life collapsed. Dad let go of my hand and ran inside when the man, who approach us told him something that I didn't hear. I was left at the entrance and didn't know what to do.

I was starting to get scared and my tears were slowly dripping. I went inside and looked for my father. Sometimes other people inside look at me but no one dares to approach me and others just walk away from me.

I thought I would never be able to go back but a woman came up to me and asked what happened? I told her and she helped me to find my father. But it was too late. Mommy died. I don't even know what caused her death. Since then I have not been able to talk to Dad well. He always locks himself in the office, not in his room. But one day Dad came out of his room. Wearing a work suit and carrying a suitcase. I never even talked to him or asked where he was going. But I didn't think of anything else but his job.
