Nakita kong nakatakip yung tenga ni Kassy simula ng magsalita si Thirdy, naingayan na naman siguro. Sana hindi niya nagets yung sinabi ni Thirdy kasi patay ako.
Can you please shut up and sit. Sabi ni Kiefer kay Thirdy na nakatitig lang kay Kassy.
Staring is bad po. Sabi ni Kassy kay Thirdy.
I'm sorry but who are you? Tanong ni Thirdy kay Kassy.
I'm Kassy po and you po? Sagot ni Kassy at abot ng kamay kay Thirdy
I'm Thirdy. Litong litong sagot ni Thirdy.
Why are you so loud? Tanong ni Kassy.
Kassy, can you please stop asking people that and just continue eating? Saway ko kay Kassy.
Sorry Nay. Sagot niya at pinagpatuloy na ang pagkain.
Magsasalita pa sana si Thirdy ng sawayin ito ni Kiefer at sabihing kumain na lang. Nakakaloka, kaya nga ayaw kong dalhin dito si Kassy eh. Baka mabuking pa ako na nagsisinungaling sa kanya. Nang matapos kami kumain niyaya ni Dani si Kassy na magswimming pero dahil wala naman dalang pangswimming si Kassy tumanggi siya at sinabing next time na lang, kaya nagstay na lang kami sa garden nila. Nagpaalam si Kiefer saglit na may pupuntahan daw sila ni Thirdy. Hinayaan ko na lang hindi ko naman siya kaano ano para pigilan.

I asked Thirdy to come with me to check the new apartment I bought for Alyssa and Kassy. It's closer to my office, if in case I will be needed at work during my 1 month leave. Yes, I took a month leave to spend it with my family. I wouldn't let even a single day pass away from them except now and just for a few hours.
Ask away. I told Thirdy because I know he's confused when he saw Kassy.
Is she your daughter? He asked.
Yes, but she can't know. Alyssa doesn't want her to know. I told him sadly.
Why not? He asked.
That's what she wants. She only gave me a month to be with them. I told him.
And you agreed to that? He asked and I nod. Why?
Because I don't have any choice. I replied.
Of course you have. You can even take it to court, if she denies you your right as Kassy's father. He pointed out
I know but I will not do that, I've done a lot of awful things to Alyssa and if this is the only way she can forgive me, I'll do it. I told him.
But it will also mean that there's a chance you will never be with Kassy again after a month. Can you live with that? He asked.
If that's the price I have to pay. I said. Can we talk of something else? What's happening to your wedding preparations? I asked.
I'm stressed, Bea's stressed, we're all stressed. Don't ever get married Kuya. Thirdy complained.
How can I get married when the only one I wanted to marry despises me? I asked me.
Well you'll never know, maybe living together again will change everything. He said.
I'm praying to God and all the saints and angels in heaven for that to happen. I said.
We arrived in the new condo; it was a 2-bedroom apartment with spacious living room and kitchen. I checked the rooms. I already asked Manang to move some of my clothes here asking her to occupy only half of the closet because Alyssa will share the room with me. I also asked Manang to bring all of Alyssa's clothes from my condo and put it on her side of the closet. I check Kassy's room, I asked for a princess theme room and made sure the bed is only enough for her so Alyssa will have no choice but to sleep with me unless it's okay for her to sleep on the floor. After finding out that everything's in order, Thirdy and I went back home so I can pick up Kassy and Alyssa and bring them to the condo. We just arrived when I saw Kassy running towards me.
