Vincent's Point of View
"Pa?" Hannah knocked the door "Tapos ka na po?" She asked
"Yes, come in."
"Papa! Namiss po kita" Hannah said. Yinakap niya si Tito..
"Oh darling! I've missed you too..so much! How's your trip? Nahirapan ba kayo pauwi?" Umiling si Hannah
"Ikaw talaga Papa you're working again on a weekend." Hannah said again hugging her father
"I'm sorry..emergency meeting. Hindi ko pwedeng hayaan na lang this is a US chain company it's a big catch...Hmnn by the way, mukhang hiyang na hiyang ka sa Baguio ah.."
"Malaki daw yung tinaba ko sabi ni Manang Pacing.. Totoo po ba?"
"Yes I should thank Daxton for that..hindi ka niya pinabayaan" then she pinched her daughter's nose
"Kinontyaba mo talaga siya Pa?"
"Hmnn yes..syempre your Auntie and your cousin is working sinong aasahan ko? Besides nasa iisang dorm naman kayo..Oh! Where is he by the way?"
"Nagpapahinga po. Nilagnat po kasi nung pauwi kami pero bumaba na din yung lagnat niya kanina.."
"Alright I'll talk to you guys later. Kumain muna kayo.."
"Sige po sabihan ko siya..Hmnn Pa, nandito na po pala si Vincent.."
Tumingin sila sa pintuan at sa akin tinitigan muna ako ni Tito bago siya tumango
"Alright..just take this with you and leave us mag-uusap kami" inabot ni Tito sa kanya yung tray na pinagkainan niya kay Hannah.
"Now Vincent..mag-usap tayo lalaki sa lalaki." Tumango ako. "I thought you will love my daughter with all your heart? You promised me that 2 years ago remember?"
"Yes Sir.."
"What happened Vincent? It seems like you broke your promise.." Hindi ako nakasagot gusto kong i-explain yung side ko. Pero napanghihinaaman ako ng loob. "Look Vincent..I gave you my daughter's hand without any hesitations I even suggested and proposed an early engagement dahil nakita ko kung gaano mo kamahal ang anak ko kahit kakakilala pa lang naming dalawa binigay ko na agad siya sa'yo...pero this happened...ano tell me? Sawa ka na ba sa anak ko? Kaya mo siya nagawang ipagpalit sa iba?"
"No, Sir. Mahal na mahal ko po siya. Mahal na mahal ko po si Hannah.."
"Well I guess you didn't love her enough..I know this problem is between you and my daughter hindi na dapat ako nakikialam dito dahil malaki na kayo pero I'm tired seeing my daugher cry.." natahimik uli ako I don't know what to say.."You know what, everynight I'm calling Daxton to get an update to my daughter kaya ko nalaman na almost everyday umiiyak si Hannah ng dahil sa'yo. Now tell me, bakit mo niloko yung anak ko..why did you cheat on her?'
"Sir..hindi ko po niloko si Hannah..and never po akong nagcheat sa kanya.."
"Hijo..not telling the truth to my daughter is already cheating..
Not opening up to my daughter na may kasama kang babae ng kayong dalawa lang ay cheating. "
"I'm sorry Sir pero mahal na mahal ko po talaga yung anak niya. Please, give me a second chance to prove my self."
"You kept saying you love my daughter parang hindi naman and besides I already gave you a second chance right?"
"Another chance Sir please po.."
"Do you already know about the engagement?" hindi ako makasagot. Lalo akong natahimik "I think you already know it. To tell you the honestly..I'm having second thoughts pursuing it, Vincent. Malaking kumpanya ang hawak nila Daxton. Dad niya ang kausap ko kanina, they're giving the best proposal. If their company and my company merge pwedeng hindi na ako magtrabaho, Pero iniisip ko si Hannah. Iniisip ko kayong tatlo." He sighed after saying that
