"Amara!" came her father's annoyed voice again.

She is playing with the hem of her shirt from nervousness. She can't even look her dad in the eye. She is not used to saying lies but..paano?

"Honey? Bakit mo sinisigawan ang anak mo?" Asked her mother who is always her savior. She has her brows creased habang papasok sa kwarto niya.

Nick sighed and advanced inside her room. Naramdaman na lang ni Amara na hinawakan siya ng ina sa balikat.

 " Napano kayo?" tanong pa nito but she didn't answer her. Busy siya sa pagdarasal na hindi makita ng ama si Brad. The latter is armed. Hindi maalis sa isip niya ang palaging banta nito. She doesn't want her dad hurt.

Binuksan ni Nick ang balcony and looked outside. Tapos ang banyo naman niya. Lalo yatang lumalakas ang kaba ni Amara because he also checked her walk-in-closet. He roamed his eyes inside for several moments  and then walked towards her bed.

"May tinatago ka ba?! " yamot na tanong nito  habang itinaas naman ang comforter and bed cover para silipin ang ilalim ng kama. " I know that fucking scent! L'eau Serge Lutens!" 

Amara think fast! she told herself.

"Ano ba ang ginagawa mo honey?! Why are you invading your daughter's room? Nicholas Alcantara what are you doing??!"  may lakip na inis na din ang boses ng mommy niya which made her  dad stopped.

Nick  straightened and looked at her with sharp eyes. Binasa ni Amara ang mga labi as she  tried to meet his eyes. She has to do this. For her father's sake and for their sake. She has to train herself na magsinungaling lalo ngayon na boyfriend niya si Brad Lopez. Tumingin ang ama  sandali sa mommy niya bago ibinalik ang mga mata sa kanya.

"I know that you are hiding something.. or is it someone from us...?" malamig na sabi ni Nick.

"A-Actually..meron nga dad.." mahinang sabi niya as she stares at the floor.

"I knew it! Fucking Hell!" galit na mura nito na pinanlakihan naman ng mata ng mommy niya before she transferred her eyes to her.

"Amara? What is going on? Tama ang kutob ng daddy mo?" tanong naman ni Stacey sa anak.

Amara  raised her eyes at her mom then her dad. "I-It's not what you think...I- I was keeping it a secret because I want to surprise you." sabi niya sa ama na kumunot ang noo.

"Surprise me? What do you mean?" tanong ni Nick.

She  slowly came closer to him and she took hold of his hand habang nakangiti ng tipid.

"Hindi na  sorpresa because of your super sensitive nose. Para kang may bioic nose daddy. " she laughed lightly. "Isa kaya sa gift ko sayo yun sa birthday mo. Alam ko you like that scent so much.:" pagsisinungaling niya.

Stacey sighed heavily at unti-unting nawala ang lukot ng noo ni Nick. Sinamantala naman niya. She kissed him on the cheek bago malambing na yumakap dito.

"Yun naman pala! Hay naku honey! Pati sa anak mo gawain mo din yan! Bumaba na nga tayo para sabay-sabay na tayong kumain. Sunod na kayo ha?" Stacey said  bago lumabas.

Nick rubbed his daughter's back and kissed the top of her head bago nito inilayo ng bahagya ang katawan to see her face. Maganda na  ang ngiti nito.

"Hindi mo na ako dapat ibinili. I have plenty of scents for men. Para naman hindi masayang  ang iba, dapat gamitin ko lahat.  You are like your mom..you like showering me with gifts. Anyway..thank you our  princess. I am sorry kung madalas sobrang protective  ako sayo. Ilang beses mo ng narinig kung bakit hindi ba? "
