Gabriel D'Angelo's P.O.V.

I notice it.

Their distance, the changes, one with anger and one with confusion.

"Lalisa, princess can we talk?" I ask after knocking on the door of her room.

As their father it pains me to see them like this, sino bang magulang ang matutuw na makitang di magkasundo ang mga anak nila?

"If its about lumi papa i dont want to talk about it" napabuntong hiningga nalang ako.

I open the door even if she had said no.

There she is sitting on her bed, laptop on her hand.

She glare at me "what now pa? Nagsumbong na naman ba yang napakabait nyong anak?" May panguuyam niyang sambit.

The hatred in her voice was like a stab in my chest.

Nothing hurts me more than to see the hatred in my daughters eyes directed to me.

"Princess, lumi is worried about you..." i said as i sit on the side of her bed. "He's asking why you're so mad at him?" My voice soft and reflect confuse as well.

They were never like this, they used to be so close.

She scoff whilst rolling her eyes "come on dad we all know that he's acting to make me look like i was the bad person, why dont you ask him what he did?" She answered, making faces of irritation and anger.

I look at her intently with worry, as someone who have studied human emotions and actions i know the signs.

I grab a hold of her hand gently, not wanting to aggriviate her further "princess are you okay, you know you can talk to papa right? Im gonna listen" i said with a soft smile.

I need to refrain from talking about the fuel to her anger, it will trigger her emotion and thats not good.

Her eyes widen for a span of second as slowly tears swell from her beautiful eyes "why? For what pa para magkaayos kami ni lumi? Is that it?" Kunot noo at puno ng hinanakit niyang tanong as tears fall down from her eyes.

I shake my head, one of my hand lifting up to wipe off the tears that fell as i say this words "no princess, no lumi, this is between me and my beautiful princess, i miss her you know? I miss her smiles..." i poke on her cheeks softly "...i miss her complicated questions..." i run a finger through her nose "...i miss it when she still trust me with her secrets, i miss my little storm" i said softly as my eyes stays on her.

Her eyes waver, her lips wobble and i knew i hit a spot but i was shock ehen she slap my hands away with so much force "you're always with lumi! Its always lumi this, lumi that how about me pa? How about me am i not important anymore? Lagi nalang si lumi o yung mga anak ni tito chandler. tell me hanggang kelan ako makikihati sa pagmamahal mo? Why do i always have to be on the side line habang pinapanood ko kung pano mo sila alagaan?! Thats my problem pa! Now tell me how can i say this words to you nang hindi ka lalayo? Cause i wont. I wont beg for your attention when in any perpective i deserve it more! im your daughter it should have always been me not them!" She spat out with anger and sadness, jealousy evident in her voice

It was like a slap, no more like a stab inside me, have she always felt like this? Did i really dont that? Ganun ba ko kawalang kwentang magulang?

I tried to reach my hand towards her, im shaking, nanghihina ako.
