Dad

"Clifford, where are you? I have news for you about your Mom and Tita Sophia."

Nagpaalam agad ako kila Shalby at Clairy. I have to go home. This is important to me. I worked so hard for finding the truth about them. I saw Papa is his downfall since the day they passed away.

Clifford

"On the way home Dad."

I saw my Dad sitting outside the sea shore in front of our hotel. I ran and asked him about what he knows.

"Dad, what happened? Do you have good news?" I asked

"Yes, that day. There's a two incident at the hospital. There's a woman who gave birth and died. Because the Doctor is trying to rush the operation." He said.

"So? What the connection between Mom and Tita Sophia?." I asked.

"He is the same Doctor that operated your Mom and Sophia." He said.

"What?! Who is that Doctor what is his name? 3 person that day died because of his negligence Dad. He need to go to jail and spend the rest of his life there." Sagot ko tatay ko. I feel so much pain right now. Every time I saw my Dad in this stage. I feel his pain the woman of her life died and the one who practically living with her.

"I don't know son. I want to have justice. We are near for what we want son. Just focus on your work. I will call the hospital and get the name of the doctor. I'll promise we will have our justice." He said sincerely.

"Okay Dad, I trust you." I said.

"Come on Dad, kaen na tayo ng breakfast. Don't think too much. Everything will be alright." Pag-aya ko.

"Okay let's go. Sabi ni Joseph, may party daw kayo mamaya. Naaya mo ba yung babae na sinasabi mo sakin kahapon?" Aniya

"Yes Dad, I like to know more about her." Sagot ko.

I was wearing a yellow pale dress, I bun my hair, and put my every day to go makeup. I heard Clifford downstairs. Kaya nag decide na ako bumaba. He's wearing a brown cargo pants and white sweatshirt. Sobrang gwapo naman ng tao na to mapang-asar nga lang talaga siya. Habang pababa ako ng hagdan I saw him staring at me from head to toe, parang iniuusisa niya yung buong ayos ko.

"You look to sexy in your dress are you sure you want to wear that?." untag niya

"I will wear whatever I want Mr. Paulino." Sagot ko sa kanya sabay lakad palabas ng pinto.

"Okay, you look so beautiful Clairy." Compliment niya.

"Thank you Cliff, I'll be find. Hindi naman ako mababastos sa pupuntahan natin. For sure. Kaya ko sarili ko." I said calmly

We arrived at Joseph's house. I can take my eyes to Clairy she's so good to be true. Pag baba namin nakakatitig agad ang mga pinsan ko kay Clairy and Shalby.

"Clifford, pakilala mo naman sila." Joseph said

"Guys, this is Clairy and Shalby." Be nice to them I said.

"Kuya Clif, siya ba yung gusto mo maging gf? Sabi mo sakin last night." Anna said

"Gusto mo pala ako maging girlfriend ah." Bulong sakin ni Clairy na may halong pang iinis.

"Bakit ayaw mo ba akong maging boyfriend?" Nilapit ko ang mukha ko sa kanya. Namula nanaman siya. Ang cute niya talaga.

"Oh, tama na landian. Let's have the party!" Elijah said

We ate dinner hanggang sa nag kayayaan na sa tabi ng dagat. Nag sindi sila ng bonfire. Habang ako ni-reready ko yung marsmallow para sa aming lahat. Nag simula na ang kwentuhan at tawanan.

"Clifford! Kantahan mo naman kami." Joseph said

"Oo nga Kuya Clifford." Gatong ni Anna

"Kumakanta ka?" Tanong sa tabi ko ni Clairy

"Yes I'm and don't fall in love with me. When I start." Pang-aasar ko.

"There's no combination of words
I could put on the back of a postcard
No song that I could sing
But I can try for your heart
Our dreams,
And they are made out of real things
Like a shoebox of photographs
With sepia-toned loving"

"Love is the answer.
At least for most of the questions in my heart.
Like: "Why are we here?", "And where do we go?",
"And how come it's so hard?".
It's not always easy,
And sometimes life can be deceiving
I'll tell you one thing:
It's always better when we're together"

"Mmm, it's always better when we're together
Yeah, we'll look at them stars when we're together
Well, it's always better when we're together
Yeah, it's always better when we're together"

I finished my song "Better Together by Jack Johnson."

"Woah! Grabe ka Clif! Walang kupas." Joseph said

"Kuya Clif! more!." Sigaw ni Anna

"Enough na, baka ma fall sakin yung isa dito." Pang-aasar ko at nag tawanan silang lahat.

Malalim na ang gabi, kaya hinatid ko na si Shalby at si Clairy.

"Bye Clifford thanks for the ride." Sabi ni Shalby

"You're welcome Shalby, until next time." Sagot ko

"Good night, Clairy.'' Bati ko sabay ngiti.

"Good night Clifford.'' Sagot niyang nakangiti

Inside the elevator "Clairy ang ganda ng boses ni Clifford, hindi mo ba napapansin na sayo siya nakatingin habang kumakanta.''

"Napansin ko, nahihiya lang ako kaya binalewala ko." sagot ko

"Feeling ko talaga na gusto ka niya.'' Shalby said

"Ay, nako Shalby itulog mo yan.'' Sagot ko

Nagbihis na ako ng pag tulog pag higa ko. I saw my phone someone texted me.

Unknown Number

I hope you like the song. – C

Paano niya nakuha number ko? I don't know what to reply hanggang sa tumawag na siya.

Hello Clairy, are you still awake? I asked for your number sa hospital kung saan ka nag tra-trabaho ayaw kasi ibigay ni Shalby number mo so I'll find my way.

Clairy

It's okay. I like the song. Ang effort mo para kuhain number ko.

Clifford

Inaantok ka na ba? Gusto mo mag lakad sa tabi ng dagat?

Clairy

Mag pahinga ka na it's late. Next time na lang.

Clifford

Okay, Good night Clairy.

I don't want to walk with him in the middle of the night sa tabi ng sea shore. That's my thing alone. Papayag lang akong sumama sa kanya pag nakilala ko na siya ng husto.
