Zenairah's POV
Using my left hand, I dragged my baggage out of the airport. I just came from a long vacation. Where? Well that's none of your business.
I'm currently riding a taxi. I didn't tell anybody that I'm back. My phone suddenly vibrate. It means I received a message. Duh? Do I have to explain to you guys? 😒
From: Mom
Your Dad is in the hospital. When will you come home, sweety?
I felt a sudden pang of my chest. Not again. I told the taxi driver to drive fast and he did. Wait for me dad, I'm coming.
I run towards the nurse station.
"Mr. Zachary Smith's room please!" I said in a hurry tone.
"Room 506 Ma'am." I immediately run towards the elevator and thank God it's open.
When I reached the fifth floor, I immediately search his room and I found it. I'm standing outside his room. I composed myself first before entering. And there I saw my poor dad lying with so many tubes in his body. My tears fall as I walk slowly towards him. My mom noticed me so she stands up and hug me. And I hug her back. My mom told me everything. And that broke me into pieces. All this time he is suffering from tumor. And I didn't even know. I didn't even noticed that he is not well because I'm busy hating him. I hug my unconscious dad.
"I'm here already, dad. Please wake up. Please." I'm losing my strength. Oh please don't let my father suffer. My tears won't stop from falling. Dad... Minutes passed, I felt arms around me. I look at my dad smiling weakly at me.
"My princess. Stop crying baby." He's awake. Thanks God.
"I'm so sorry dad. I didn't know. I'm so s-sorry. It's all my fault." I hug him again. I accused him without even asking him. My mom told me he never cheated. And I was so dumb not to listen to his explanations. Mas inuna ko pa ang galit ko.
"Shh. It's not your fault baby." I even hugged him tighter. I miss this feeling. Yeah. I'm feeling safe in my father's arms.
"Excuse me po, kailangan pa po naming Itest ang pasyente. Pasensya na po." I pull away from my father's arms. I look at my mom crying so I comfort her. How can she be this gorgeous even if she's crying? No wonder my dad fall for her.
"Go home for now, baby. I know you're tired. I'll just update you, okay?" I nod. I kissed my dad and my mom's forehead before I go. I walked like a zombie towards the elevator. I can't even think straight.
*ting*
The door opens and I entered. There's this man looking at me but I just ignored him.
*ting*
I walk slowly out of the elevator. I feel so exhausted. And there I saw our driver walking towards me and he get my things and put inside the car. He opens the car door for me and I entered.

"Ma'am, gising na po. Nandito na po tayo." I open my eyes only to find out that we're home.
Tiningnan ko ang kabuoan ng bahay, so wide yet so lonely. I sat at the sofa and close my eyes.
I love you, by.
I instantly open my eyes and held my chest. It's beating fast. I miss you so much baby. Why am I so unlucky? What did I do wrong? Am I that bad? To punish me like this? I stand up and fix myself. I need a break. From all of this. I went out and bring my car with me. I need to go to a place where I can forget. Temporarily.

"A bottle of beer, please." Binigyan naman agad ako ng bartender. Tinungga ko agad. Ang pait! This is what I need. For now. Magpapakalasing ako ngayon. I don't want to think.
4 hours later...
I'm dancing at the dance floor. I'm swaying my hips from left to right. I'm enjoying now! Wooh! Party party! I felt hands rubbing on my waist. Damn this jerk! I face him and slap him hard. How dare he touch me! Bumalik ako sa upuan ko at uminum ulit.
Minutes have past, may umagaw sa baso na iniinum ko. I look at him. I covered my mouth from shock. And then I felt hot liquid rolling down my face.
"Stop it. I'll bring you home." He said. I hug him and cry hard. I really miss him. I'm glad he's back.
"I missed you so much." He hugged me back. Inalalayan niya Kong tumayo and we walk towards his car.

I woke up when my phone rang. Ugh! My head hurts. Parang mabibiyak. I answered the call without even seeing who the caller is.
"Hello?" I said in my sleepy tone. And there I hear a sniff.
"B-baby." Mom? Why is her voice like that? Is she crying?
"Mom? What happened? Are you crying?" She didn't answer my question. She just cry hard. I sat on my bed. My heart is pounding so fast. Oh my God. I turn off the call and went to the bathroom. I quickly wash my body. I have a bad feeling. Wag naman sana.

Tinakbo ko ang hagdanan patungo fifth floor, ang layo pa kasi ng elevator. I rest for a bit when I reached 4th floor. I catched my breath. God! And I slowly walk paakyat sa fifth floor.
My body is trembling when I reach to his room. Same feeling when I lost the man I love back then. I walk inside and saw my mom crying so hard.
"Time of death, 08:43 a.m." No! This can't be happening to me! I covered my mouth. No dad! No! Don't do this to me dad. Please. Paalis na ang doctor at nga nurse but I stop them
"Please doc, do anything. Please. Revive my dad. Please doc. I'm begging you." I even kneel in front of him. He help me stand up.
"I'm so sorry ma'am." Then they went out. I shout as much as I can. I run towards my dad and shake him.
"Dad! Wake up! Daaad!!" My mom hugged me from behind. Dad! I sat on the floor. She's still hugging me.
"Why? Why it has to be him? Why?"
"Baby... Maybe your father needs it. Let him rest baby." I saw the pain from my mother's eyes.
"I never should've left." I said. I'm so sorry dad. Di man lang kita naalagaan. Bakit ganito ang buhay ko? Lahat ng nga mahal ko, nawawala. Ang malas naman ng buhay ko. Is this my fate? To be alone?
