"Dad, I'm not looking for it. Ayoko muna. I want to serve the country. Saka na. Dadating tayo diyan."

Napailing na lang ako sa mga sinasabi ni Daddy. I'm still young naman and I'm not yet ready for a commitment whatsoever. Mas gusto ko munang maglingkod sa bayan.

A/N as much as I want to have longer chapters, I decided na mas paigsiin ang bawat isa para mabilis ang phasing ng story. Mas madali pang i-proofread.
