CHAPTER 1

After my Mama left us, I didn't talked to him. I hated him for not stopping my Mama. I blamed him for everything that happened. Time passed by, he busied himself with work and the responsibility of providing me what I needed in life. He became a good provider and I know he wanted to become a good father but I didn't allowed him. Until one day...

He was in the garden trimming the bushes when I decided to break the silence. I came up to him and said, "Can I talk to you?" and then I sat on the bench. He stopped trimming the bushes and joined me in the bench.

"Why you didn't stopped her?" I asked without looking at him. I felt him tense and and his body went rigid.

"I knew you're going to asked that someday. I guess this is the time we need to talked about what happened. I'm going to tell you first of how your Mama and I met." he took a deep breath and began to tell the story.

"I was in college when I first saw and met your Mama. She was the most popular and one of the most beautiful girl in school. I instantly fell in love but I know she wouldn't noticed me because I was the nerd with black eyeglasses. I just admired her from afar. God took pity on me because one day she became my partner in thesis class. I began to know her. She's not snob like what everyone's saying. In fact, she was nice and kind but she was a loner. That's why they thought she was snob. We became very close and became best of friends..." he stopped and removed his eyeglasses. He took the time of wiping it. I'm just waiting for him to continue. I looked up in the sky and saw the sun is gone and black clouds were forming. 'Its gonna rain.' I said to myself. I looked at my Papa and he was now putting on his eyeglasses. He looked from afar and continue,

"There was this guy she's in love with. His name is Dennis. He was like her. He is also one of the most popular guy in school. She's very eager to meet this guy personally but before she makes a move, he already courted her. Of course she said yes. I was heartbroken. To protect myself, I began to distanced myself to her. She doesn't mind that. Then one day, she came up to me, crying. I instantly knew what happened. I helped her to forget Dennis. I brought her to her favorite places and we did all the things she wanted to do. All the while, I thought I'm the one who's helping her but she's the one who helped me. I began to changed the way I dressed and the way I mingle with people. I wasn't the nerd anymore. I am the guy next door." This brought a smile on the handsome face of my father as he remembers all those girls vying for his attention.

"I told her my feelings after we graduated from college. I was ready to get rejected then but I'm not expecting the answer she gave me. She said yes. I was the happiest person that time. After 3 years of boyfriend-girlfriend relationship, we decided to take our relationship into the next level. We said our vows in front of God and everybody. We are happy then..." his voice trailed off as tears began to formed in his eyes.

"I really don't understand what happened. We are happy, right? I don't understand what went wrong. Every night I always asked myself If I did something wrong with her but I can't think of anything I've done that will hurt her or our family. For 10 years, I always searched for her. I always cried for her but not for myself but for you, my baby. I always blamed myself for what to our family." he said as he cried quietly. I was crying too when the rain began to poured and make us wet. But neither of us moved.

"I'm sorry If I wasn't be able to stopped her. I don't know what to do... I just watched her, leaving us... My mind said to follow her but my body wasn't cooperating with me. I'm shocked from what happened." he looked up in the sky and let the rain washed him.

I was speechless. I didn't know what to say. For 10 years, I blamed him for what happened to us. I'm so selfish!

"I'm very sorry Papa. I'm really sorry. I didn't know you felt that way. I'm very sorry." I said as I put my face on my hands. I cannot stopped my tears.

"It's okay, baby... Shh, don't cry." he said as he soothes me.

Both of us were crying and unable to stopped. This is the first time we talked and cried together. He hold my hand and placed in his heart while looking me in the eyes. "You know what Papa wants to happened?" he asked me. I looked at him quizzically and asked, "What is it, Papa?"

"I wanted us to start all over again. I want us to be happy again. I know I cannot replaced your Mama but I can promise that I'm going to be a good father..."

"You're already a good father and provider to me, Papa." I replied.

"Thank you, my baby. We can get through this. I promise." he promised me.

I'm so glad to have a long talked with him. I understand him and it gave me an opportunity to became close to him...

Serena wiped her tears as she remembered her long talked with her father. She was in the veranda overlooking the city.

'Everything happened so fast. I didn't realized its been 2 years now since he left me. Until now, I cannot believe that he broke his promised. He said we will start a new life and we will happy again, but why, Papa? Here's the question that I can't answer... Why?" as tears began to flow uncontrollably. She put her face on her hands. She cannot control herself anymore and emotions overflowing her. "Papa" I muttered. She feels so cold, so alone... Suddenly her heart began to beat so fast and it almost hurt her. She cannot breathe anymore. She placed her right hand on her chest hoping it will stopped the pain but she cannot control it anymore.

'I need help.' she thought. She reaches for her mobile phone and press the speed dial 2 while she was holding her chest.

"Hello!" a cheerful voice greeted.

"Mich, I need..." but before she can finish her sentence, she already fainted.

" Sere? Serena? Serena!"
