TITO CHARLE's POV (Kath's Dad)

Hey, there, you might wonder why I have my own POV here, right? You will know why later. I'm at the office right now.

"Sir. the preparation for Miss Kath's birthday are perfectly finished," sabi ng aking secretary na si Ms. Choi.

"What about my wife's arrival? Is it fixed?" tanong ko.

"Yes sir, Mrs. Bernardo will arrive here at exactly 2pm the day before Ms. Kath's birthday. Your private plane is being carefully prepared to fetch her," sagot niya.

Yup, dadating ang akong asawa dito yun ay dahil may important announcement kaming gagawin on her birthday. My family and my company depends on it and I want Kath to make the final decision.

"Okay, you may leave," sabi ko kay Ms. CHoi at lumabas na ito. Maya-maya pa, may kumatok ulit,

"Sir, the boys are here," sabi ni Ms. CHoi and sabi ko na papasukin sila.

Pumasok ang Boyfriend sa loob at nagusap-usap kami.

"Well, you all know it's my daughter's birthday three days from now," panimula ko and they all nodded.

"I will make an important announcement on that day and no matter what it takes, I want you to be by her side all the time," sabi ko sa kanila.

"Why? Will something bad happen to her?" tanong bigla ni Young Min na mukhang nagaalala.

"No. That's not what I meant. I just thought that maybe she'll need someone to guide her on the near future and I am wondering if you'll be willing," sabi ko ulit and looked at them expectantly.

They looked at me and Dong Hyun said, "Kathryn's been like a sister to us and we love her deeply even for a short  time and we are willing to be by her side," sabi niya at umagree ang mga kagrupo niya.

"Thank you," sabi ko.

"But, uncle, what will happen on Kath's birthday?" tanong ni Min Wo.

"You'll find out on that day," sabi ko and with that umalis na sila. Puntahan daw nila si princess sa bahay.

Alam ko na mapapamahal sila sa anak ko. Nakikita ko ang closeness nila at ang gusto ko sana isa sa kanila ang makatuluyan ni Kathryn. Kahit sino naman pwede pero pinakabet ko ay yung tatlong pinakabata. Si Young Min, Kwang Min at Min Wo. Halata sa kanila na may gusto sila sa anak ko, hindi lang pansin ni Kathryn kasi wala pa naman experience yun sa love eh (a/n di niya alam yung kay Daniel) kaya hindi niya nahahalata, pero ako, pansin na pansin ko. Kung sa family din naman ang paguusapan, wala din flaws ang anim na yun dahil lahat sila may kaya sa buhay. Mga business partners ang parents nila Dong Hyuna t nung twins ng isang malaking kumpanya dito sa Korea. Sila Lee naman ay nagmamay-ari ng pinakamalaking mall dito. Sila Hyun Dong naman ay may mga bars, clubs at resorts, sila Min Wo naman ang may-ari ng pinakasikat na hospital dito. Nabuo lang naman ang grupo nila dahil nababagot sila. They made it just for fun. Kahit di na nila gawin yun, mabubuhay sila kaya walang problema on that aspect. Kilala din ng mga magulang nila si Kathryn dahil minsan ay sinasama nila ito at gusto nila ang anak ko dahil naman sobrang bait niya. Kaibigan ko din ang mga parents nila.

Pumipirma ako ng mga documents ng biglang nanakit ang dibdib ko. Heto nanaman--

I took out medicines sa drawer ko and took them quickly. After a few minutes, unti-unti ng nawawala yung sakit. I heaved a sigh. Dumadalas na ang paninikip ng dibdib ko, at hindi dapat malaman ni kathryn ang kundisyon ko. Kami lang ng mommy niya ang may alam. Ito naman talaga ang rason kung bakit gusto ko siyang isama sa Korea. To spend lots of time with her, becasue I think...
