Vanessa POV
"You're not married to raizel mother?" Tanong ko
Alam kong halata ang gukat sa boses ko pero bahala na
he chuckled and then shook his head
"I'm not married yet" he answered, naguguluhan ako. So hindi sya kasal sa nanay ni raizel? Ano yun?
"And raizel is not my real daughter" dagdag nya kaya natulala ako
Not real daughter?? Pero ang laki ng pagkaka hawig nila?
"I can see you're confuse... Raizel is not my child, but my younger sister daughter" he answered kaya nagulat ako at napa nga-nga
He has a sister?
His smile earlier slowly turns into a sad and bitter smile
"I do have a sister, she's the sweetest person i know. She loves to makes jokes that aren't funny but her laugh is the one that'll make you laugh. She's also a very conservative and religious person..." he described her sister and i can see that he is really genuine
"Where is she?" I asked kaya huminga ito ng malalim at hinigpitan ang pagkakahawak sa tasa
"My sister was kidnapped and rapped at the age of 19, then she got pregnant with raizel. At first everyone was bitter with raizel because she's a bastard child, but when the first ultrasound came out... we realized Raizel doesn't have anything to do with what happened to my sister" pag kwento neto kaya nakinig ako, kapansin pansin sin ang pag yukom ng kamao neto at ang galit sa boses nya

Rais POV
(FLASHBACK)
I just got off from work and heads to my car which is parked on the ground parking lot of dad's company
Rose hasn't contacted me since the other day, hindi din sya umuwi kagabi at kanina
Even her friends don't know where she went
Where did she go this time ba?
I then saw a silhouette of a woman walking in a zigzag pattern towards me
"K-kuya..." i saw rose walking towards me whilw trembling kaya agad ko syang sinalubong
Her hair is covering her face and she looked wasted
"Rose? What happened?" Nag aalalang tanong ko
"Where have you been?? Mom and dad are worried sick" i said and noticed her clothes are dirty and was torn apart...
"K-kuya.." he called out again but this time she started crying hysterically and fell to her knees kaya agad ko syang sinalo
"Rose!?" Nag aalalang pag tawag ko dito but she kept crying
I then sees hand marks on her neck and bruises all over her arms and faces
"I...i was walking home.." she sobbed
"Then.." he trembles again
"H-he.." she cried hard and grabbed my shirt tightly with a shaking hand
"What?"
"He...." She gasped for air
"Raped me..." she cried and that's enough for me to make my world shattered
I felt mixed emotions, but mostly anger
"Who?" I asked angrily and grabbed rose by her shoulder
"Who did?" I raised my voice in anger and rose flinced and cries more
"Hindi ko kilala" she cried and cried more
I don't know what to do... I immediately hugged her tightly and protectively as she kept crying to me

Vanessa POV
"We didn't find who did it to her..."
"Everything was ready, raizels nursery room. My sister, our parents and me... everything was going accordingly to the plan until my sister suddenly died giving birth to raizel" he said in painful tone
"We didn't know what to do, my parents are too okd to take responsibility already. but we can't just sent raizel to an orphanage or give her away. So I adopted her, I became a father at the of 26"
"I wasn't ready. I didn't know anything on how to raise a child, especially alone. But I dedicate my whole life to her, i took an oath to take care of her" he continued
"Each day, i can see my sister through raizel when we were young. Her innocence and curiosity reminds me of her"
"That's why i named raizel after my sister" his eyes landed on the flower vase in the counter
I scanned the vase and sees roses imprinted to it
"Rose?" I asked kaya bumalik ang tingin nya sakin saka tumango, now it makes sense
I know what raizel means
"Raizel means rose" i added kaya tumango sya uli
"Yes. Rose is my sister name, that's why my company name is triple R" he said while smiling bitterly
I don't know why i also feel sad seeing him like this... but i know na wala akong karapatan dahil babysitter lang ako ng anak nya
"Sorry for suddenly venting" he said and put the cup if coffee down to the table
I don't know what to do, dahil ramdam ko ang sakit sa boses nya palang
I slowly guided my hands to him and hug him unconsciously
When I realize what i did, lalayo na sana ako pero yumakap ito pabalik pero mas hinigpitan nya ng kaunti ang yakap
"Stay.." he begged kaya hindi ako gumalaw
He kept hugging me kaya hinayaan ko nalang sya at hinagod ang likod nya katulad ng ginawa nya kay raizel
"Just what i needed..." he mumbled and took a deep breath
"It must be hard.. I'm sorry" i said pero umiling ito
"It's fine... i-i just need a minute" he said, still not letting me go
I let him kept hugging me and loses track on the time
Bigla namang bumukas ang pintuan ng mansion at nakita ang mga maids kaya agad kong naitulak palayo si sir Farrington at napa aktong walang nangyari
"G-good morning mam, ser.." pag bati bg mga maids ng makita kami
Sir Farrington ears turned red like a tomato and points at the coffee
"Nag kakape lang" he said and grabbed the cup
"Ahh napa daan lang dito" i lied and scratched my head
Napatango nalang ang mga maids kaya palihim akong tumingin kay sir Farrington na nakatingin sa ibang direction
"A-akyat na po ako!" Paalam ko ata agad na tumakbo pabalik sa kwarto ko at ni lock ang pinto
I then saw myself in the mirror looking like a tomato also
I'm blushing? No no no! Why should i? Hahaha...
