Magic Feathers (PUBLISHED)

When I entered my room, I immediately opened the email of the Diamond Creatives, it was my contract, the memorandum of agreement, and the non-disclosure agreement.

Before I sign it, I dialed my dad's phone number but he didn't pick it up. Maybe he's busy driving, I'll just send it to him tomorrow morning and I'll consult him on what should I do with it.

I was busy picking clothes from my closet when I heard a knock from my door. Who can that be? Mom and Antonette are already asleep.

"Sweetie? Are you there?"

Oh, that's my mom. Maybe she got awake when she heard dad's car. I went to the door and opened it.

"Yes? Oh, before I forgot, here's the grocery allowance, and Antonette's monthly allowance, it's twelve thousand five hundred pesos. Dad gave us twenty five thousand and he told me to split it in half." I said as I handed her the envelope.

"Thank you. Anyways, did you went to your dad's place? What did he told you? Is he already dating anyone?" Mom asked.

Sometimes, I'm wondering, do my parents still love each other? Because for how many years that they got separated, no one dared to find a new love interest.

"Uh-huh, why are you asking that to me?" I asked, I was just teasing her.

"Nothing. Tell him thank you from me when you meet again. Sleep now, it's already late." Mom said before I locked the door again.

I changed my clothes immediately after I looked the door. After I changed, I removed my make up and did my skin care routine.

When I got back to my bed, I get my phone from the bedside table and checked it, there's two messages, one came from dad and one came from Nica.

I opened dad's message first.

Michael Bryan North: Hi, sweetie. Why did you called me? Did you left something in the car? Or was this about your contract with Diamond?

France Marianne North: The last one, dad. My contract with Diamond Creatives.

Michael Bryan North: Okay. Don't forget about the interview tomorrow, address are attached on the email thread but don't worry about it, I'll pick you up at eight in the morning. Don't sign anything yet. Wait for the interview.

France Marianne North: Okay, dad. Thanks.

Michael Bryan North: If they will ask just a small favor from you and it's not that hard to do, just do it. It can increase your points. Good night.

France Marianne North: Sweet dreams, daddy.

After dad and I had our conversation, I opened my conversation with Nica. Oh, I'm glad that she still have my phone number.

Thearine Nica Walkers: Can we talk about us?

France Marianne North: What do you mean by, "us"?

Thearine Nica Walkers: Just come at the designated place. Are you available tomorrow evening?

France Marianne North: Yes, I'm available.

Thearine Nica Walkers: Thank you. See you tomorrow.

I just left her message on read, after that, I went to sleep. The next day, I picked a nice casual shirt and paants, along with my rubber shoes. I brought my guitar with me before going downstairs.

I saw mom, dad, and my sister having breakfast together. It's nice seeing them together in the table.

"Good morning, little angel. Have a breakfast with us." Dad said.
