" I'm sorry Angelina but__

" I saw my mom crying and begging to my dad not to leave. I didn't what I feel that time. Confused, disbelief. I didn't have any idea what's really going on but all I knew was I feel pity to mom. Ate and I ran near to her. We asked dad not to leave but he did."

" daddy don't leave us. You promised me that you won't leave dad. You said that you love us but why do you leave? Daddy please. I promise to be a good girl always. " little Nicole cried and hugged his father's feet.
" I'm sorry baby princess. " Nicholas said and left. Iyak sya ng iyak non.

Back when I was a child
Before life removed all the innocence
My father would lift me high
And dance with my mother and me and then
Spin me round till I feel asleep then up the stairs he would carry me
And I knew for sure
I was loved

If I could get another chance
Another walk
Another dance with him
I'd play a song that would never ever end
How I'd love love love
To dance with my father again.

" iniwan nya kami. He promised that he won't leave but he broke his promise. But I still believe Na uuwi sya SA amin. Na tutuparin nya ang kanyang pangako. Nag hihintay PA rin kami SA kanya until one day I lose my hope and hate him. "

" mommy, I miss daddy. He will come back again right? Please mom tell me. " I said that time but mom's tear began to fall. I knew she's sad. I knew she was in pain but  she tried her best to be strong.
" y- yeah baby. He will. Let's just wait him okay. " mommy said and hugged my tightly. That day  pumunta kami ni mommy at ate SA park after mass.
" daddy? " I saw dad but he was with that girl same age with mine and the lady that I think just same age or a little older than mom. They looked happy. He carried that young girl bumitaw ako SA kamay ni mommy and lumapit SA kanila.
" daddy.. " I hugged him.
" hey, why are you hugging my daddy?"
" he is my daddy not yours. "
" no. He is my dad. Don't touch him. "
" daddy, I miss you please go home now. " I cried.
"No. He won't . my dad is living with us. He will stay with us. Don't touch him." Sabay tulak . naupo ako SA damuhan ng park. Dumating si mommy at ate.
" baby princess. " sabi ni mom and lumapit SA akin but dad remained silent. I was hurt akala ko ipagtatanggol nya ako pero  Hindi pala. Umiiyak ako ng to-do.
"I hate you dad. You are liar."  And I ran far from them.
" Magpakatanga ako sayo dahil ayaw Kong masaktan ang mga anak natin. Tiniis ko ang lahat pero mas lalo PA talagang nasasaktan ang anak ko. From now on patay ka Na and you don't have right to our children. " Angelina said." Nicole. "
Takbo lang ako ng takbo. Hanggang makarating ako SA pinakadulo ng park. I cried a lot. Umupo ako SA damuhan.
" I hate you daddy. I hate you so much. "
" hey, why are you crying?" Lumingon ako and I saw a boy.
"That's none of your business. Leave me alone."
" I'm Sean. You are? " I looked at him. It took me a minute before I answer
" Angela. "
" hello, Angela but I prefer to call you angel because you look like an angel. Why are crying? "
" because daddy is a liar. He left us. "
" oww. I'm sorry but don't worry I'm here so don't cry Na. You look more beautiful when you smile. So smile. Yeah that's it. "
" Why are you here? "
" because you are here. I saw you running that is why I follow you. "
