The Hidden Rising Star 1

General's POV

"Aga? Long time no see! How are you?" Greeted by a woman when she saw Aga and Cassandra who just came in.

"I'm good. By the way, This is my daughter Cassandra." Aga introduces.

"Hello po." Cassandra greeted and smiled at the woman.

"May dalaga ka na pala and she looks just like you ha." Cassandra can only smile and the woman looked at Aga. "Ano namang pinagkakaabalahan mo ngayon?" She asked.

Cassandra knows her Dad's friends needs to catch up. Sa tagal na nawala ang Daddy niya sa showbiz ay malamang madami silang pagku-kuwentuhan.

"Dad, I'm just going to find Julian somewhere." She excused herself.

"Okay, Sweetie. Remember what we talked earlier ha?" Aga told her and she nod.

"Yes, Dad. Excuse me po."

Cassandra walk around the crowd.

It was a little dark and the music was too loud.

The crowd was swaying to the beat while Cassandra walked around to find Julian.

"Well you know being a Dad and running a business." Aga answered while he get his drink.

On the other side of the room was Chard, Dawn, and Vice chatting.

"Is that really Aga in Lea's birthday party?" Chard asked while the two were busy talking to each other.

"That's impossible." Dawn replied without glancing at where her husband was looking.

"Charot charot ka Chard? Imposible talagang pumunta 'yun dito 'no." Vice responded and continued to chat with Dawn.

"I'm not kidding. Just look!" Chard told them while the two looked in unison.

"Oh My! Aga!" Dawn exclaimed and they approached Aga.

Aga greeted his friends.

"What brought you here? Business?" Chard joked.

Aga laughed. "Good one, Bro. Lea invited us." He shortly informed.

"Us?" - Vice.

"Yeah, I came with my daughter. She's somewhere out there in the crowd looking for Julian." - Aga.

"Himala napadpad ka ditey?"

"Nagkaayos na ba kayo?"

Tanong ni Vice at Dawn kay Aga habang tahimik lang na naghihintay ng sagot si Richard.

Hindi mapigilang matawa ni Aga sa mga tanong nila kaya tumango na lamang ito.

"How?!" Dawn and Vice asked in unison.

"Let's drink and talk about it! Cheers!" Aga raised his glass and so are the others.

After taking a sip, Vice remembered something. "Reminds me of Let's drink and get married!" Aga just laugh and drink again as he hide his blushing cheeks.

"Let's drink and get married, babes."

He remembered what Lea uttered that night when she was drunk.

It suddenly echoes in his mind and that sweet smile of him automatically shows. 

Julian saw Cassandra walking around looking for someone. "Cassandra?" He whispered while being surrounded with ladies.
