Anton? What happened to our daughter? Her mom asked and she's catching her breathe.
She'll be fine. Anton said and he rubbed his wife's back.

Aly's
Ughhh my head fuck it. I cursed when I woke up. I look on my curtains and the skies are already gray.
Mom didn't wake me up? I said as I stood up from my bed. I grab my phone and it's 4pm in the afternoon.
Ugh Damn. I need to go I groaned and search for my sweatpants and shirt. I need to move my ass.
I entered the bathroom and quickly opened the shower. The water was cold as it touches bare my skin.
Aly?? It was my mom. She's always like that.
Mom? I shouted from the bathroom. Obviously she will not hear that.
I hastily move and quickly go down. I saw my mom waiting for me at the living room.
You went home late last night, Aly. Where did you go? My mom said. Yes sometimes she acts like a priest.
Im not a kid anymore mom. I said and grab the pitcher to pour my glass a water. I drank it up.
You'll be flying next week? My mom asked as I continue to rummage our fridge. Im starving.
Yes Mommy. Soldier duties. I replied and grab the container of mayo.
Your dad asked if we could go out tonight with his business partners. I laughed bitterly.
Ma, anong gagawin natin dun? Obviously ipapahiya nya lang ako. Dad wanted me to become like him. Pero eto ako pinagtatanggol ko ang inang bayan. I said and I quickly grab my car keys.
Where are you going? Mom asked I just shrug my shoulders.
To the people who really accept me and love me. I said as entered my Gallardo.
I stepped on the gas really hard. My dad always invite me and mom to have a dinner with him and with his partners.
Saying things like My daughter is a useless soldier
My daughter doesn't know how to fight for our country.
My daughter should be a business person not a soldier.
Im so tired of hearing this kind of drama from my father. He is really selfish.
I hate him too for hurting my mom. I saw my mom handling this unbearable pain after dad cheated on her. He had an affair. He has children on his mistress. Im not mad with my siblings on him. But mas nakakahiya pa sya kaysa sa mga sinasabi nya saakin.
Miss ano ba! Someone shouted kaya bumalik ako sa ulirat ko.
Uhm sorry. I apologized but he just threw me a dagger look.
I shook my head as I park my car in front of my grandparent's house. They are the one who pushed me to become a soldier. They helped me to enter PMA in baguio.
Hi lola! I greet her as I kiss her cheeks. This feels like home. My only home.
What about me apo? My lolo asked. I just laugh and went near him and give him a kiss.
So anong problema apo ko? my grandfather asked. Its really hard to keep secrets when it comes to them. Kilalang kilala kasi nila ako.
Dad, Mom, Everything. I said as I sat on their sofa.
