JOAQUIN

"Hindi ikaw ang Tatay ni Nathalie?"

"Sorry po."

"Eh nasaan ang ungas mong kapatid?"

"Patay na po siya. Naaksidente siya sa isang race niya."

"Oh! Pano na yan? Kaya kita pinilit na pakasalan si Anna is because I thought your Carlos. Ang laking problema nito. Ang laking eskandalo."

"Bakit po?"

"Kasi hindi na matutuloy ang kasal. Of course I will not force you anymore to marry Anna. At yung pera na napagkasunduan natin? Sa yo talaga yun hindi yun suhol."

"Sir, pakakasalan ko pa din po si Anna."

What Joaquin? Baliw ka ba? Why do you want to do that? Hindi naman na kailangan. Baliw ka nga

"What?"

"Sir I will make what Carlos left right. I will be a father to Nathalie. Let's not tell Anna yet, baka hindi na niya ituloy."

"Are you sure of it?"

"Sir if this is the only way para makita namin lalong lalo na ang Mommy ko si Nathali na lumaki at magdalaga, so be it. Besides, wala naman akong girlfriend at wala din akong planong magkaroon ng girlfriend anytime soon. So, why not go on with the wedding."

Tanga ka din no Joaquin? Bakit mo ibibigay ang future mo sa babaeng yun eh selfish at brat yun.

"Hahahahahaha salamat Joaquin. Inowe you this time. Ipatawag mo ang mga magulang mo at pag usapan natin ang kasal."

"Sir, there is another problem....Nathalie knows who her Dad is. Sinabi nung step Dad niya. And my family wants to meet her."

"Okay, tell your family to come to Manila tuis weekend and meet Anna and Nathalie. Tell them not to say anyting about Carlos. Tell them to pretend muna na ikaw ang ama ni Nathalie. I will be the one to tell her the truth."

"Pano kung sabihin niya sa Nanay niya?"

"Hindi yan."

ANNA

"Hmmmm Nath please stop bouncinf. My head is painfil."

"Cause you were so drunk when Dada brought you home."

"Dada? Who is she?"

"He! And you were so drunk you wanted to kiss him. Atty Escudero."

"I want to call him Dada or Daddy. You're getting married right? And I heard Abuelo telling him to bring his family today. So they're coming. I'm excited"

"What?"

"They're coming."
