Sarah Jane's POV

Lord, Sa lahat ng pwedeng araw bakit ngyon pa?

At this point God has turn his back at me since this afternoon I'm going to have lunch with my so called father and uncle and this moment I'm on my way to the restaurant where my father had arranged for us to meet along with my uncle for our lunch and I'm trying to mentally prepare myself on how do I even greet them or what do I even call my father. How do I even address him I just can't call him father it would probably raise a suspicion and we I don't want that. From what I can remember from my extra memory that was given to me I basically just stayed indoors and most of that time I was in the hospital since I was often sick and when the time I finally woken from this world was probably the day I got out from the hospital, I got to say it's basically what happened to me when I was still a child back in my old world.

I do have information about them and I also have their pictures but that was only a background not their personality but it said that my father is a loving kind when it comes to me then again I'm not really sure for now let's just wait and prepare for anything so that it won't surprise me. At this moment I'm sitting inside at the back of a BMW while the driver and Axel one of Mia co- workers are in the front seat, it was a little awkward since it was dead silent I guess it's true when they said that silent can kill since it's killing me right now and maybe anytime soon I might bash my head in the window or the seat that's in front of me. ''Are you excited to meet your dad my lady?''. Axel ask while looking at me in the mirror that was in front of me, I couldn't reply to his question since I never really have memories with him. '' I'm not really sure''. I short reply then turned my head to looked outside then after that Axel didn't said anything else he just continued to mind his own business. You're probably wondering why Mia isn't the one who's accompanying me to meet with my father it's simple really she has a work that my dad requested for to do and it was urgent matter that's why she didn't have any choice but leave me with Axel.

After 10 minutes we finally arrived at the restaurant were we supposed to meet and eat of course, Axel opened the door for me and he also help me to get out of the car since it was kinda tall for me so he had to carry me up to the restaurant . Many people were looking t our direction well mostly the woman and you know what that means there looking at Axel who is probably just ignoring or he doesn't mind at all. Axel walked in a VIP room that was probably reserved for us when were finally inside Axel put me down on the ground the place was very elegant meant for people who spent there wealth at this moment I have two guest about my family. One they're probably one those who like to show there wealth to people for popularity and they're probably involved in illegal action as we speak . The second would probably be that they are very wealthy, they probably don't like to tarnish there reputation, they might also not care what other family relatives do they just had to do it in secret. " Sir. Atlas, the little lady is here now". Axel announced which took me out of my thoughts when I lifted my head I saw two male figures I couldn't see there figures since I was small and short and one of them I could only see the back so I'm having a hard time. One of the male figure turned his head to look at my direction and .... there he is.. my father Atlas Luan Callisto .

He immediately got up from where he was sitting and headed to where I was , the two of us made I contact it was awkward just staring at each other not knowing what to say or what to do. I was about to say something but he made the first move before I could. He bend over so that he could reach my height then he smiled so sweety at me and he then hug me. '' Hi love, are you feeling better now?''. He said while he still hugging like there's no end at this point I didn't know what to do so I just nod my head even though I don't know if felt it or not but that's the best thing I could do for now. He finally breaks the hug and just looked at me. I was taken aback by my father's warm gesture. I couldn't believe that this man, who I have no memory of was showing me such affection. I felt a sense of relief wash over me as I realised that maybe my father wasn't as intimidating as I had imagined. I mustered up the courage to speak. ''Yes and Hi...dad''. It felt strange coming out of my mouth but I hoped it would suffice for now. Atlas smiled at me and patted my head gently.
