"Marami lang talaga akong kailangang gawin ngayon, especially that dad was once again been attacked by his illness." I sighed and massaged my temple

"Oo nga pala dude. How is tito now? A-and does s-she know about this?" he hesitated

"Medyo okay na si dad. And about her, what do you think?" I closed my laptop after saving the document at bumaling ng tingin sa kanya

"Dude, your dad is still expecting for you to find her."
