The Hidden Rising Star 1

The door revealed my Dad. He's in crossed arms and his eyebrows are raising.

"Are you okay? Para kang nakakita ng multo?" He asked me.

"Hmmm- Yep, Completely fine. I'm about to go to sleep now, Dad." I lied.

As much as possible I don't want to lie to him but I know he will be bloody mad and scold me if I spilled him the truth.

"Oh, You're not going to tell me anything?" He asked and I started to panicked.

"L-Like what?" I asked stuttering.

"About earlier?"

"T-The Mall?"

"Yep. The Mall."

My mind became calmer than earlier. Iyon lang pala.

"Why? Is there something else you want to tell me?" He asked as if he can read my mind.

"Wala naman, Dad. Where did you go pala earlier?" I asked him innocently.

"W-Work?" He responded and I raised my eyebrow.

General's POV

"So glad to be back!" Lea uttered while chatting with Vice and Dawn on a restaurant.

"How are you!?" Vice exclaimed.

"I'm really doing good!" Lea answered and can't help her smile for the three of them reunite again!

"That's good to know. Have any connection with Cassandra?" Dawn asked her.

"I did talked to her at the backstage earlier." Lea responded.

"Really? She's watching with us? How come we didn't saw her?" Dawn asked confusedly.

"Nagduet pa nga sila ni Lea. Hindi mo na see dahil jumakbo ka kanina papunta sa comfort room." Vice explained and looked at Lea. "At alam mo naman 'yun ano! Patay sa Daddy niya kapag nanood ng concert mo."

Lea sighed.

"I'm sure she got that good voice of yours." Dawn comforted to make Lea smile.

"Naman! Maganda, May mala-anghel na boses at honor student." Vice added.

"I'm so proud of her. I just really wish I'm beside her when she's getting all those achievements." Lea told them as she noticed that Vice and Dawn are now getting sad because of her.

"You know what? Let's just enjoy the night." Lea said and lift up her glass of wine.

"Cheers!" The three of them uttered.

"Oh! Almost forgot. Where's Chard?"
Lea asked.

"My hubby? He told me that he will be going to Aga's company first and then come here." - Dawn.
