Habang iniayos yong guest room , just Kaye and her father. Kaye started the feels of just like what was currently missing in her life these past few years . His dad did this on purpose to make bawi man lang kasi he felt disconnected and baka raw makalimutan ko ang fact na my dad cares and love me so much since then .

'' pa , about the phone '', I broke the silence.

'' no, I insist anak , matagal- tagal na din yong panahon na may naibigay ako sayo na bagay. ''

Magsasabi na sana ako na it's fine kaya ko pa naman na wala munang cellphone when all of a sudden , someone forcefully opened the door .

'' Dad! What's so special with your first daughter na wala ako? I couldn't even remember how much concerned you are, the way you smiled at her what's all this treatment indifference all about ?! ''.

Small footsteps also rushed in and added : '' ate! you're being mean again , I can share our dad with ate Kaye coz she's her father too , mommy told me we are just the second family ''.

'' Okay listen! Kassy and Kiel let's talk tayong apat !''.

'' Dear Grae , explain all you want , deep down I know you are biased '' pagsabat ni Tita Jodie.

Tumalikod ako sa kanila habang gusto kong sisihin ang sarili ko kung bakit pa ako tumuloy in their doorstep at tsaka ba't parang kasalanan ko to?.

Okay ako muna magsasalita, palaisipan ko habang kailangan kong tapangan ang aking sarili to share my side .

'' makinig lahat! Di ko alam kung bakit parang may malaking galit ka saken Kassy but what did i ever do? If nararamdaman mo na I'm stealing attention from your dad or you just don't like the idea of me being here . PERO, DO YOU KNOW HOW LUCKY YOU ARE!? I lost dad's personal care, ngayon lang ulit ...and its not like its easy just checking up on each other virtually. Let me understand please '' . I'm now in emotional state as I ended my statement with : '' don't worry , I'm going home to Lola's first thing in the morning ''.

Natahimik muna sina Kiel at yong papa naman nila ang nagsasalita.

'' Mga anak look! I am not being biased , Kiel and Kassy ? Don't you ever put that in your mind that you're my second family, we all are family . It may not be as easy accepting the fact Kassy , but Kaye is still your half sibling . At Kaye? you never did something, the attention in my hands is something that you deserve, ngayon nga lang kita makasama . Please stay kahit isang additional araw ''.

'' No dad! I was the one trying to get your attention , just that I tried doing better but each time I achieved something you don't acknowledge it much as much as Kaye's . I'm trying to be academically smart at school dad just like her , but instead what I received is an honest criticism of telling me I'm good but do better next time . You never did that to Kaye right ? ''.

Hearing that from Kassy parang na-squeeze ang aking dibdib. As the idea of getting compared ? di naman talaga sya healthy . We all have things we're good at kaya sana wag na lang ilukumpara ang kakayahan ng bawat isa lalo na kapag ito yong approach ng mga magulang sa atin.

'' I'm sorry Kassy , I wasn't aware that I'm that harsh'' . Dad embraced her while tears keep falling down.

Kinuhit ako ni Kiel at nagwika, '' I heard she was a mistake born baby, that's why dad was having a hard time accepting her growing up .''
