"Honey, I need to tell you this." My mom faced at me.
I looked at her wearing my bored expression. "What is it mom?"
"Your dad is not dead. He's alive. Finally, makikita mo na rin siya. Honey, our family will be completed." Niyakap niya 'ko.
My dad is alive? I have a father?
I thought I'm unique. Akala ko ako lang. Akala ko ako lang ang walang ama. Meron pala?
Everyone deserves to have a father. Even me. I deserve to have a father. Am I lucky? Yes, I am.
(My lolo hates my Dad eversince. He hates my father because he's a poor guy. He came from a province then accidentally he met my mom. Until that, they started to love each other. Yung patagong pag-ibig kumbaga. Patago rin kasi ang babata pa nila para makaramdam ng pagmamahal sa isa't-isa. Mahal nila ang isa't isa, ramdam ko yun pero meron talaga ang tutol sa pagmamahalan nila. And It was my lolo. Pinalayas ni lolo si daddy sa kadahilanang mahirap daw ang buhay nito. Matapobre si lolo sa simula pa lang kaya may part din sa puso ko na kinaiinisan siya.
Sa pag alis ni Dad, nanganak si mom. Pinanganak niya si Zen Crayel Montellana.
My mom was so depressed that time, knowing na lumisan ang pinakamamahal niya. At sa nalaman nalang namin na naaksidente daw yung sinasakyan niyang Jeep patungong probinsya, at doon na namin siya tuluyang kinalimutan.)
"Where is he? Tell me mom. I need to hug him, I need to kiss him, I need to tell him that I love him, that I'm his daughter. Mom, can we go there? At dad's location? Please mom, I'm begging. Please..." I've never pleased anyone. Ngayon lang talaga.
Mom cupped my face. "Soon honey. You'll meet him soon. Just wait." She smiled
Ngitian ko rin siya. Hindi ako nagmamadali. May oras talaga. May tamang panahon para dyan. Makikilala ko rin ang ama ko. And I'm excited for that.

Masigla akong pumasok sa paaralan. Daily routine ko ang pag-irap sa mga bumabati sa'kin sa campus, well that's constant. No scratch that. I need to change.
As I was walking down around the hallway. I smiled at them. Giving them my precious and contagious smile. Lucky them.
"Queen, ibang aura ah? Seems so confusing? May I know?" Kira asked me. I smiled at her.
"Nothing. I'm just glad." I smiled again.
"Glad? J
Kelan pa?" Weenken asked me. I raised my eyebrow.
"So noisy Weenken. Stop it, wag mo 'kong pilitin." I may strict outside but I'm nice inside. Hindi nyo lang alam.
"By the way, where's my king? Pumasok na ba siya?" Napa iwas agad sila ng tingin sa'kin.
"Ow, so I guess he's having his advance vacation, what do you think?" I asked them. They're not talking. What's with that weird noise.
"Uhh Queen, I need to tell you something."
Racyl faced at me. Tinaasan ko naman siya ng kilay.
"He went on Cebu. He left you. Sandrei wants to break up with you that's why he left. Ang totoo niyan ay hindi ka naman talaga niya minahal. Ginamit ka lang niya para sa pera."
"Queen, hindi mo ba siya na-notice? He used you at nanatili kang nagpakatanga sa kanya. Where's the smart and wise queen that we've been idolized? Asan na?"
I remained silent.
"I hate to tell you this but I need to. Queen, he was just pretending. Pretending in front of you, us. And we're blind to the point na hindi natin napansin ang mga ginagawa niya."
She took a deep breath.
"He had already a family. One wife and two children. I pity you Queen. You are such a blind cat."
After I heard those bullshit revelations, I immediately slapped my face.
The Queen is a blind cat.
