First:

"Madamoiselle,your father is waiting for you inside." My eyes flew open as soon as I heard that from Mr. Gonzales,papa's assistant,and continued the mantra in my mind.You can face him perfeclty,Gaea.Just perfectly.

I flashed him a smile before following him to papa's study room.Just as I stepped in the carpeted living room,my fears flew away.I was too amazed to what I saw.Del Fierros really have a lot of money.Everything in here would surely cost a plane ticket.And mind you,that's just a penny for them while to me it's more than enough to buy a month stock of groceries.

We reached the dining room and again,I'm in awe.Their dining room is too perfect!The ones you see on the movies?Long,mahogany dining table,chandelier,and a lot more?Yes that's that.

But my amazement vanished as soon as Mr. Gonzales stopped and faced me. "This is it,madamoiselle." he smiled before opening the door for me.Before I entered,I blew deep breaths and politely smiled at him."Merci," I said to him which he answered with a smile.I entered and roamed my eyes inside a big,big study room.It seemed like a library.I looked for papa's desk and saw it after turning left the first bookshelf.

He didn't notice me for he was busy checking some papers and I used that as an advantage to stare at him for a little longer.

My mom said that I probably got papa's eyes for her isn't the same as what I have.And now,I confirmed that mom's right.I couldn't help but smile.

"Mr. Del Fierro," I called out.He looked up and met my eyes.He stood up and locked me in his arms as he spoke,"Enough with the formalities,Gaea.Anak kita at daddy mo'ko.'Wag kang maiilang sa'kin." I didn't utter a word and just hugged him back.As soon as he broke the hug,he studied my well-being.

"Kamusta ka na?" He asked.I shrugged before giving my answer,"I'm fine I guess." I smiled at papa."You?" I asked back,he sat down and motioned to do the same so I obliged. "Okay lang ako anak.Teka nga lang,kumain ka na ba?" he spoke and I nod to let him know that I did.After that,we fell silent.And that's when awkwardness took over.

I cleared my throat and asked him,"Pa,can you recommend an affordable hotel?I'm exhausted and right now,all I ever want is to sleep and rest." I saw his forehead creased,"What hotel?Magche-check-in ka?Iha,pwede ka rito,Gaea.May mga bakanteng kwarto sa taas.Dito ka nalang." he offered.I looked down and played with my fingers.

"But pa,your wife would be furious at you.I don't want to create a commotion for staying here." I truthfully said in a low voice which made him sigh. "I can handle her,anak.You need a rest and at this hour,you'll have a hard time finding one.So stay,anak.Even just this night." he pleaded.I let out a sigh before standing up, "Okay pa." I gave him a hug, "Good night,pa.It feels good to see you." I told him and then headed the door.

"Excuse me sir," I called out Mr. Gonzales.He looked at me and politely smiled, "What can I do for you?" he asked. "Can you accompany me to their vacant rooms here?I want to have a rest and papa insisted to stay here for the night." I answered.He nodded and led the way,I just followed him.

I couldn't help but be amaze when we stopped infront of an elevator.

Woah,an elevator inside the house?Extremely amazing!

Mr. Gonzales pressed the number three.Out of curiosity,I asked him a question. "Sir,do you,by chance,know how much the Del Fierros spend for this house?" he looked at me, "I don't know.I'm sorry." he answered me and politely smiled.I eyed him, "You look young,sir.If you don't mind me asking,how old are you?" I asked.His smile grew wider. "I'm 20." he answered and my eyes widened in shock, "You are 20?Then why are you already working?You didn't go to college?" he smiled at me before giving an answer, "I did.But there was no K-12 curriculum at my time so I finished school early." Oh.That's why.

The elevator finally opened up and as we headed to the room I'll be staying we're talking about anything.And guess what?There's another living room in here.As fabulous as the first one! "Papa surely spent a fortune just to build this house huh." I commented.I heard him chuckle, "Not just a fortune but a whole fortune." he said which made me laugh a little. "Come on,it's getting late." he called my attention which had been lost for all the luxurious and grand things inside this mansion. "Yeah,sure." And we continued to walk.We stopped infront of a sliding door.My brows creased which just means I'm curious.

He signaled his head as if letting me open it for myself which I did.Right after opening the sliding door,I saw a hallway.I saw 4 fully furnished door and I looked at Mr. Gonzales to ask if he knows what room when the door flew open in the 2nd room.

I saw a fake-blonde girl wearing red from head to toe.Her face seems barbaric though,eyebrows quirked up under those Prada sunglasses and her lips is just so red.

She stared at me and I did the same too.I'm recalling her familiar face in my head.But I can't remember her so I decided to sleep my thoughts away.I smiled at her, "Excuse me miss,can we pass?" I politely asked.As soon as she heard my voice,I saw her gasp.She immediately took off her sunglasses and stared at me,jaw dropped.

"You-!Why are you here ha?I thought ba nasa France ka ha?" she hissed although she's stuttering.Geez.So Philippines' new language is really what they call 'conyo'?It sounded disgusting,really.Despite of the things that are running in my mind,I politely smiled at her and answered her, "Good evening,miss.I'm Anji Gaea Z.And yes,I was in France but as you can see,I'm back.I finished my secondary school there and papa offered to let me study here which I accepted.And now,papa insisted to stay here for the night since it's already late," I don't know what I said wrong which made her turn crimson red.

She suddenly stomped her heels and shouted at me which had taken me aback. "Don't call my dad your papa!My dad is my dad!Not yours!" Although her outburst taken me aback,I recovered and maintained my cool even though inside my angry beast wants to scowl at this stupid,motherfucking bitch.

But I remembered my bestfriend's tip: The very best way to make your enemies lose is to give them your most radiant smile.And so I did.

I walked closer to her,head held high,"Too bad,papa is my papa too.We share the same father and we can't do anything about that.Why?Because it's a given." her hands are trembling in anger.I smiled unto myself and asked Mr. Gonzales which room I will be staying at.He had this amused smile on his face which made me smile in a boastful way. "Yeah,let's go." he answered before carrying my baggages.

"What the heck,hey!Theo!Stop!Sabi ko stop ha!Stop accompanying that bitch!" she scowled at Theo.I cocked my head and looked at her. "Don't make me your mirror,little miss Prada." I mocked at her as we continued heading at the 4th door.

Theo opened the door for me and let me go in first.What a gentleman.I smiled at him and received the baggages he handed me. "Thank you,Mr. Gonzales.Have a good night." and I ended that with a kiss on a cheek.He seemed startled as he looked at me intently,"Don't get the wrong thoughts,Theo.It's how French people say thanks and goodbye.In this case,it's both." I told him truthfully.Again,I smiled at him politely before carrying my bags in.

"Ugh!!!Slut!" I heard little miss Prada shrieked which made me laugh.I owe my bestfriend one.

For now,I sighed,let's see what Philippines got for me.
