Antonio's POV

My family was one of the richest family in the Philippines on my time. We have money and businesses, jewelries, and anything that we want to get.

Meetings every day, parties every night. And my family together with their business buddies enjoying them, but not me. I, I used to be alone. But not until I met Allicia.
The very first girl who stole my heart.

She's a simple girl, living in a simple house, with herself. She's a waitress on my favorite restaurant in the morning, and works at a convenience store at night. She's hard working, and very pretty. That's why I fell in love with her.

Until the awaited day of mine comes. I fell in love with her. That's the first time I experienced true love. She fell in love with me. We fall in love with each other. I decided to court her, until she said yes.

That was the first time that I felt too much happiness.

Our relationship went stronger, until my parents found out. The whole industry where our family belong also found it out. And... they all started to ruin our relationship.

But... she's strong. Kaya naging malakas rin ang loob ko. We both still stay strong even it is like the whole world is against us.

Hanggang sa dumating ang araw magdesisyon akong pakasalan siya. She agreed. And I marry her without my parents' approval.

She became my wife.

Nabiyayaan kami ng isang anghel, a baby girl. And she's so beautiful like her mother. With that, my life became more colorful.

But it didn't last. My father once took her away from me. And he said that he'll kill Allicia and our baby if I don't do what they like.

In order to save her and our child, I have to marry someone else. And after the wedding, hindi ko na siya nakita. I never saw the girl that I loved, all my life.

Until now, siya lang ang minahal ko. Siya lang.

Nadurog ng husto ang puso ko nang nalaman kong patay na siya. Hindi ko man lang nalaman. And I blame myself for that. My first and last love was already in grave.

Naalala ko ang anak namin. Nasaan na kaya siya? Halos dalawampung taon kaming hindi nagkita ni Allicia matapos kaming paghiwalayin ng pamilya ko. Mula noon, hindi ko nasubaybayan ang paglaki ng anak namin.

And after years, ginugugol ko na ang oras ko sa paghahanap sa anak namin ni Allicia. Until my investigator found her, and her location. Last time, I found out that my daughter is working as Ford's P. A.

And it's... coincidence. Ford is like a son to me. Kaya kampante akong safe siya rito.

I saw her once, in the elevator. She has the same voice as Allicia, and same face. She is my daughter. Nakita ko rin siya sa lugar kung saan ako nagtrabaho dati dahil pansamantala akong tinakwil ng pamilya ko. That's why I'm in that motorcycle terminal.

I miss my daughter.

"Kuya, are you sure that she's your daughter? Allicia marry someone else when you two separated and we're not sure if she's your child--"

"Shut up. I know that she's my daughter. I know it. I can feel it. Its already done. Wala na sina mama at papa kaya itigil mo na to. Don't ever touch my life again just like what they did. Gusto ko lang mahanap ang anak ko, kaya pabayaan mo ako rito."

"Fine. But before finding that 'daughter ' of yours, think of what your daughter Gail will feel."

Naalala ko si Gail. She didn't know that she has a sister. I also remember her, with Ford in Gail's home coming party. And she's now his girlfriend... Girlfriend.

Kaya kahit na nangulila ako sa kanya ng ilang mga taon, I'm still lucky. Dahil si Ford ang nakatuluyan niya.

Now, my only wish is to meet her again, say that I am her father, spend time with her and be with my daughter in this house.
