Rais POV

"Papa..." raizel pulled my shirt kaya humarap ako dito

"Hmm?" I lift her up

"Me want mama" she blurted out kaya napakunot ang noo ko

"Mama? Why so? You have me naman" I asked kaya ngumuso ito

"I see others kanina sa mall, gala sila ng morher nila" she said with a sad tone kaya hindi ako naka imik

"Raizel...?" I heard Vanessa voice coming from the kitchen kaya agad na nagpa baba si raizel sakin at tumakbo sa pinang gagalingan ng boses ni Vanessa, which I followed too

"May binili ako sayo" Vanessa kneeled to raizel level and pulled out a lollipop that is shaped like a bear

"Waaa" raizel respondedand jumped from joy

"Thank you tita mama!!!" Raizel said in a happy tone and hugged vanessa

I watch as Vanessa smiled at raizel and hugged her back and raizel smiling happily and somehow... i felt something different

Raizel is always happy, but her smile with vanessa seems more... happier

"Papa look!!" Raizel runs to me and showed me the candy, i pet her head and smile

"Wow.." i responded and turns to Vanessa, i was about to thank her when her phone suddenly rang

She excused herself and answered the phone

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Vanessa POV

"Ano?! Wala kana talaga balak bumalek!?" Bungad ni tita ng sagutin ko ang tawag nya

"Wala.." I answered simply

"Aba! O sya sige! Ikaw naren mag bayad ng mga gamot na kelangan ng tatay mo!!" She screamed through the phone kaya napa bugtong hininga ako

"Yun nga po gagawin ko" I answered pero pinatayan ako neto kya napapikit ako ng mariin sa inis

"Ms Vanessa?" I hears sir Farrington voice behind me kaya i immediately put on a smile and turns to him

"Yes po sir?" I asked

"Thank you" he thanked me kaya nanatili lang akong naka ngiti

"Walang anu man po" i responded and glanced at raizel already eating the lollipop

~FAST FORWARD~

Nakahiga ako sa higaan ko ngayon at hindi makatulog

It's already 2 in the morning

Should i take a loan? No... i was already rejected before

Utang? Kanino naman ako uutang??

Advance na sahod..? Ilang linggo palang ako dito.... Baka sabihin ang kapal ng muka ko

I punched the pillow in frustration dahil hindi ko na alam gagawin ko

Don't worry self... makakahanap tayo ng paraan

Tumayo ako mula sa higaan at tahimik na bumaba ng mansion papunta sa kusina para uminom

I took out a water bottle from the fridge and drinks it all

After I finished the bottle agad naman akong nag hilamos sa lababo para mahimasmasan ako

Napahinto ako at na alerto bigla ng nakarinig ako ng sigaw at iyak mula sa taas

Raizel!!

I immediately rushed to get to her room

But instead I found sir Farrington na buhat buhat na si raizel na umiiyak

"Shhhh shhhh" pag papakalma nya kay raizel habang buhat buhat ito

"Monster..." i heard raizel raspy voice

Hinagod ni sir Farrington ang likod neto at hinele

"It's just a bad dream princess... don't worry" sir Farrington calmed her down and I remained standing in raizel room doorway

Sir Farrington glanced at my directions then points at raizel toys and blanket kaya agad akong lumapit at kinuha ang paboritong laruan ni raizel

I also grabbed the blanket and wrap it on raizel back

Sir Farrington then passed raizel to me kaya agad kong hinele ito

Raizel nuzzled up to me so i held her tight

Sir Farrington then closed raizel's room window and checked her closet to make sure and to also show raizel na walang monster sa loob

I kept holding raizel for a while and sir Farrington didn't leave

He just watched us hanggang sa bumigat na si raizel, senyales na bumalik na ito sa pag tulog

I then gently placed her back to her bed and surrounded her with teddy bears then put a blanket over her

Sir Farrington and i then left raizel room quietly

I turned to sir Farrington and sees his restless eyes

"Mag pahinga na kana po sir" i said pero umiling ito

"I'm good" he responded at nag lakad na pabalik sa kwarto nya kaya ganun din ang ginawa ko

Pero bago ko pa mahawakan ang pintuan ko tinawag ako neto

"Ms Vanessa.." he called me kaya tumingin ako sakanya

"Po?" I responded

"Can you make me a coffee?" He asked kaya dahan dahan nalang akong tumango

"Hatid ko nalang po?" I asked peor umiling ito

"I'll drink in the kitchen" he said at naglakad papunta sa kusina kaya sumunod ako

When we got to the kitchen, agad kong hinanap ang kape sa kitchen drawers at sinimulan gumawa ng kape nya

Habang sya naman ay nakatayo lang sa gilid

"I'm sorry to bother you to make me a coffee at this hour ms vanessa" he apologized kaya umiling ako

"Ayos lang po" i responded and continued making coffee

"We never got a chance to get to know each other ms Vanessa" he said, i looked at him and daw him looking at me

Hearing him say ms vanessa feels weird

"Kahit Vanessa nalang po" i said kaya lumapit ito

"Alright, and please Drop the 'po'" he commanded kaya tumango ako

"So... Tell me about you" he said kaya napaisip ako kung ano sasabihin ko

"My mother died on a car accident, my father is in coma... my auntie sold my family house and stole my mother's jewelry and now I'm in debt to her" i said  and handed him the cup of coffee

"Debt?" He asked maya tumango ako

"How much?" He asked

"I don't know exactly...Sa pagpapalibing sa nanay ko at pagpapa gamit sa tatay ko, hindi kona nabilang kung magkano" i answered honestly

"I see.." he responded and took a sip of the coffee

"How about you?" I asked back kaya tumingin ito uli sakin

"Me?" He asked kaya tumango ako

"What about you and your wife? Bakit hindi nyo sya kasama ni raizel?" I asked kaya kumunot ang noo neto at mahinang tumawa

"Wife? Who said I'm married?" Tanong nya kaya i tilted my head

Hindi sya kasal??!!!
