It’s been 5:00pm in the afternoon and i still have 3 more hours to prepare before i go to the restaurant where my father said we should meet. Ugh I don’t know what to wear. It feels like I’ve been meeting my boyfriend the way hell like i don’t know what to wear. It’s just a typical meet up over a family. Though this will be our first time to see each other but it seems so strange. Anyways, i chose this casual champagne/ golden dress because i feel so feminine wearing this. It fit flawlessly; the dress molded my torso beautifully, complimenting my feminine shape. The dress draped past my knees, slightly drifting from my legs. Its strapless style revealed my precious collarbones wrapped in smooth, luring skin and paired it with my black leathery jacket. I use my favorite red shoulder bag. I always use this one because it’s multipurpose. You can use it in any types of get-up.

I never notice the time and i only have 30 minutes before. I fix my things and get off in my apartment. I called a taxi and ride and relax myself. I still got this chills. I’m still nervous facing them. What if his new family doesn’t like me? What if they only treat my well when dad is around and mistreated me when his not. I don’t know what to do especially with this kind of situation. I want my Mom to be at my side now. I missed her so much. How long did i stay away from her? Days passed by so fast.

“Miss, Where Here” The Driver cut my thoughts.

“Oh. Thanks.”

…as i enter into the restaurant, the waiter assists me attentively and brought me to where my table should be.

“Oh. You’re here. Have a sit Dara. We’ve been waiting for you.” Dad Welcome me with his smile. I sit beside him. In front of me was a beautiful woman. She seems a bit younger to my mother. She dresses fiercely, high class, and every move was like being watch out. Beside her is a teenage girl. Maybe this girl is Dad’s daughter.

“Anneyeong haseyo, Jeoneun Dara imnida”

“HAHAHA. Dara. You amuse me neh? They already know you. But since you’re being polite, Okay. Chaerin yeobo, Hyunjae nae ttal, daehoe Dara nae gih ilh-eobeolin ttal.” I bowed my head and body as a sign of respect to them.

“Eoni! Nan Dangsin-ui yeodongsaeng eul Hyunjae imnida. Dangsin-i saeng-gyeoseo jeocheoleom jeongmal aleumdaun. HiHiHi” The girl said. She looks so happy as if she only saw a person in her life. But she’s cute and adorable in a way.

“Err. W-wait. Do not speak Korean. I can’t handle it. I’m still studying Korean language okay?”

“Ehh? Okay. Sorry Eoni. Hihi”

“Hyunjae-yah, Stop making of your sister. Remember, she’s your older sister so you must respect her. Arasso?” I am confused with this family. I can’t get over. Maybe I’ll get used to it.

We talk a lot of things. Getting to know each and step by step. Not rushing each and everyone here. I like it. I don’t know how to explain it but, it feels like i belong to their family for so long and so fast. We only met in a minutes now Mrs. Chaerin treats me like her daughter. Hyunjae is blissful now that she already met her older sister. It feels light-hearted that they understand and respects one another. It’s like you are home when I am with them, I feel belongings. This is a happy family. It makes every member of the family grow fruitfully.

It wakes me up when i heard a tone coming from my phone. I reach it from my side table beside my bed and glance whose calling. OMG! It’s Dad. Early in this morning?

“Good Morning Dad.”

“Good Morning My baby girl. Did I wake you up? Aigoo. It’s already late in the morning.” I look at my clock and it’s already half past 10.

“Yes Dad. I’m sorry. Why did you call?”

“I almost forgot. Since it’s late for your breakfast, why don’t you have a brunch with me at 12 o’clock if that’s okay?”

“Okay Dad. Just message me the location and I’ll be there.”

“Good. See you soon baby girl.”

“Dad, can you please stop calling me that? I’m no longer a baby girl now.”

“Why? You’re my baby girl. Even if you’re at 30 i will still call you my baby girl. HaHaHa”

“Whatever Dad.”

“Your mom really raised you well eh?”

“How do you say Dad?”

“Nothing… But it’s just that since you grew up in Philippines, you tend to adopt what Filipinos culture has. It feels strange because we have different culture that already existed where you were born. But I’m Proud of it. I should really see you mother and thanks her right?”

“Aw. Dad, you’re being sentimental again. And yes, you need to see Mom but not now okay? Dad, i have to hang up now. I will be late for our appointment. I need to prepare unless you want me to see on my pajamas?”

“Oh. Right. You should be pretty later huh.”

“Dad, I thought i inherited it from you?”

“Of course you are my most beautiful baby girl in the world. But you need to be more beautiful later.”

“What do you mean Dad?”

“I have to go. I have a meeting to attend. See you later baby girl.”
