Rainy Days (Daylight Series #1)

Chapter 3

We stayed quiet for a while until I decided to talked again. I sighed before smiling lightly. For the first time of my life, I have someone who I can talk aside from Zianna. And it's funny how I got to talked with a man who I just met.

"My dad can't spend his time with me. Funny how a girl like me longing for his father's time and presence. Naranasan mo ba 'yon?" Lumingon ako sa kan'ya.

He looked at me intently before shooking his head.

"My parents always made sure that they can spend their time with us. They never made us feel that they lack time for us. Kapag may natitira silang oras ay mag-aaya silang lumabas kasama kami."

I smiled at him. I envy him for having a family like that. Siguro masaya ang buhay nila na gan'yan sila. I salute their parents for giving their that kind of love.

No matter how hectic their schedule is, if they can spend their remaining time with their children, they will. Nasa sa mga magulang naman 'yon kung ang natitira nilang oras ay igugugol nila sainyo.

"That's so nice of you. Are you working already?"

"Yeah... I am working at your dad's office as his secretary. And one of his scholar." Nanlaki ang mata kung tumingin sa kan'ya.

I never seen my dad's sceretary kasi hindi naman ako palagi sa opisina niya. At hindi ko naman siya palaging nakakasalamuha kapag napupunta ako sa opisina ni Daddy noon.

"Hindi ko alam 'yon... I've never seen you in dad's office before when I still went there."

I didn't know that in the middle of our talked. I was being comfortable with him. Hindi ko namalayan na napapasarap na ang kwentuhan naming dalawa.

I can't deny the fact that he is a good listener and a good talker. Medyo gumaan ang loob ko na nakakapag-open-up ako sa isang estranghero.

"I might be in school that time..." He smirked. "But I've already know you since you were still in highschool."

I rolled my eyes. "Really huh? So, you're my stalker too?"

"Of course not. I just know you because your dad is my boss." He chuckled.

"Whatever, Thadeus." I irritationally uttered.

"I'm sure your dad did everything for your family. Just a little bit of understanding, you will definitely know why he can't make time for you." I looked at him, puzzled.

He talked like he understand my dad, sino ba siya para sabihin sa'kin 'yon? I am his daughter and he didn't make time for me for over a years now. Ako lang ang nag-iisa niyang anak at hindi niya pa maibigay ang oras na gusto ko.

"Sino ka para sabihin sa'kin 'yan? Hindi naman ikaw ang nasa posisyon ko. He didn't make time for me for over a years now. He almost forget that he has a daughter that's waiting for him. So, how can you tell me to understand him?" Galit na sabi ko.

Hindi ko mapigilang magalit sa sinabi niya. I'm always waiting for him to have time for me. Ilang beses akong naghintay sa kan'ya sa bahay na umuwi. Ilang beses kaming kumain sa lamesa na wala siya.
