Steven's POV

"Steven, wake up please!"

"Steven, wake your ass up! Jefferson needs you, please"

"PLEASE STEVEN WAKE UP!"

I can hear Jenny and Keshia's voices pero hindi ko kayang gumising. What's happening? Where's my baby? Ano ang nangyayari why I can't wake myself up?

Sa kung sino man ang may gawa 'neto sa akin, I'm sure this person is a huge villain sa buhay namin. I mean, all of these? Myself right now? Hindi biro ngayon ang kalaban namin, for sure.

I can't move myself. I feel numb. Bakit ganito?

Until I can feel some electricity na nagpalakas sa katawan ko. Oh, so did they purposely made me sleep? For what? Bakit hindi nila ako pinatay or something? Bakit pinatulog lang?

Iminulat ko ang mga mata ko and first thing I check is ang kaliwang bahagi ko, hoping that I can see my boyfriend beside me pero hindi ko siya mahagilap sa kamang 'to. Wait, where's Jefferson?

It can't be. Paano nila natanggal ang posas na 'yun?

Plus, wala man lang akong tali or something. I check my body pero wala namang masakit or sugat. Talagang pinatulog lang nila ako to this surprisingly very comfortable mattress.

Now I'm here sa isang lugar na parang office at nasa malaking kama ako and it feels so comfortable. Thankfully, hindi ako hubad or napalitan damit ko or else, I'll freak out.

But the thing I notice is may mga puting parang plywood ba or some technology enhanced na takip something sa pader. I think there's something there.

Nilibot ko ang mga mata ko for possible person na makikita ko pero wala. Mag-isa lang ako dito. Where is my boyfriend? Saan nila dinala ang pinakamamahal ko?

Bigla naman akong nakaramdam ng sakit sa ulo. I whinced in pain and massaged my temples. It's maybe sa something na nilagay nila sa akin.

But to all sudden, bumukas ang pintuan and it reveals a man in mid 40's, having a tray full of foods and some drinks. Nakakagulat lang na puro favorites ko ang nakalagay sa tray.

I can't see the man's face but I have this feeling na kilala ko siya. My heart says otherwise so na-curious ako. Who is he? "You should better eat and gain some strength." I froze. That voice-

I know na matagal na panahon na ang nakalipas but I will never forget his voice. I could never do that. "Steven, I miss you so bad." humarap sa akin ang taong 'to.

My eyes teared up when I recognized kung sino ang taong kaharap ko ngayon. It's too impossible to be true! "D-dad? I-is it really... you?" mangiyak-iyak kong sabi. I feel myself teared up right now.

He smiled sweetly and nooded. Inilapag niya ang tray sa pinakamalapit na table and lumapit agad sa akin. "My silver Steven, my only treasure I have." hindi ko na mapigilan ang mga luha ko.

It is indeed my dad!

Agad ko siyang niyakap and his warmth still feels so comforting like before. We both hug each other. It's my dad! My dad's still alive! "Oh my, Steven. You're now a grown man! Dad missed you so bad."

"I-I've been missing you too, dad. I really miss you." nararamdaman ko ang kamay niya na hinahaplos-haplos ang buhok ko. My heart knows that this is indeed my dad. He's indeed the one and only Daniel Kloen.

All of the years I thought my dad were already dead. Nangungulila ako and I was left alone with my shitty relatives na walang magawa kundi ang manakit at manggamit ng mga tao para sa sariling luho. My life before was such a mess.
