The Hidden Rising Star 1

"Hey, I'm not kidding anymore and I'm not going anywhere until my only daughter tells me what's going on." Aga looked at Cassandra waiting for her response.

Cassandra sighed and walked closely to her Dad.

"I just hate how I'm not being classified as her daughter. Although I know how her career works and I don't want to ruin it but I also don't want to be a nobody in her public figure." Cassandra spilled holding her sadness inside her.

"Aww, baby. She loves you. Isn't that enough?" He asked her.

"O-Of course it's enough..." Napilitan niyang sagot.

"Nevermind." Cassandra soon replied.

"No, Let's talk about it. I want to make my baby feel better." - Aga.

"No, I insist. It's okay, Dad. Enough about me. How about you? Why did you said that you and Mom are just friends? Kasi for me, clearly, It's not just a friend. I know how your eyes twinkle and your lips being ripped off because of how you smile so widely while talking to her." Cassandra spilled and looking suspiciously at Aga.

"Such an observer." Aga whispered but Cassandra heard it that makes her chuckle.

Cassandra's laugh makes Aga laugh.

After letting the laughter go, an idea came to Cassandra. "Hey, Dad. I have a mission for you tonight."

Aga's forehead creased. "What is it?"

"Up your game. Do the first move. Court her again. I want it to be fulfilled tonight." Cassandra uttered while the car parked in front of them.

Aga just shake his head and came closer to Cassandra.

He hugged her daughter and answered. "Consider it done." He then whispered. "Good night. I love you."

"I love you too, Dad." Cassandra smiled and let go from him.

She finally waved her hand and went inside the car.

Aga saw how the car slowly went out of his sight.

He smiled and walked his way inside.

Aga noticed Atasha looking at them and as soon as their eyes met she ran away.

Hindi niya na lamang ito kinibo at bumalik na sa kinauupuan niya kanina.

"What took you so long?" Lea asked him.

"Daddy duties." Aga reasoned out.

"Is she okay?"

"She's just sleepy, Lei."

Lea's not convinced about Aga's reasons.

A few hours later, The party has ended early and successfully.

Everyone was drunk except for Aga.

Well, a man with a plan indeed.

Dawn and Vice are drunk on their seats while Lea was just dizzy and with them.

On the other hand, Chard and Aga was talking.

"Don't worry, bro. Ako na maghahatid kay Vice. Take good care of Lea."

"That's why you're my brother. You know what I was planning."

"Ah, Kaya pala hindi ka nagpakalasing ngayong gabi?"

Napatawa na lamang si Aga sa sinabi ni Chard.

"I will finally have a chance, bro."

"We all have a chance, Aga. Kaya, don't fail me tonight." Chard uttered and went to approached the others.
