Kenneth's POV


            "Mr. Yoo, Chairman Clemente will be arriving in about 5 minutes." pag - iinform sa akin ng secretary ko.

            Tumango lang ako at lumabas na siya.

Andito kasi ako ngayon sa isa sa mga condo ko. I am waiting for Daddy, my wife's Dad.


                     Honestly, I don't know if I still have the right to call him 'Daddy' after everything that I have done to his daughter.


*Knock. Knock.*


                    Napalingon ako sa pinto nang may kumatok dito.

Hindi na ako sumagot. I know it's Daddy.

Pumasok na siya at agad na isinara ang pinto.


          "Take a sit, Daddy." I said after kong makipagmanly hug sa kanya.

"Thank you Hijo, you should take a sit, too." sabi niya at sabay kaming naupo sa couch.

                 Napabuntong hininga muna ako. Kaming dalawa lang ang nandito sa loob. I asked him kasi for a private conversation.


I actually don't know where to start. Sobrang hiyang - hiya ako.


"D..Daddy." I uttered.


                       Tiningnan niya lang ako and smiled na parang sinasabing ituloy ko lang.


"I..I'm sorry. I.....I'm ve..verry sorry." sabi ko sa kanya habang nakaluhod sa harap niya.

                          He was shocked based on his reaction.

"Why are you saying sorry, Kenneth?" he calmly asked me nang maka recover na siya.


                 "I........I am very sorry." paulit - ulit na sabi ko habang nakaluhod sa harap niya.

He gently tapped my shoulders. "What for, Kenneth? You are sorry for what?" he asked again.


Kinalma ko muna ang sarili ko bago ako muli humarap sa kaniya.


"Since we got married, I never treated her right.." pagsisimula ko.


                        nakita kong napakuyom si Papa ng kamay.

Again, tears started to flow from my eyes.. Mali eh. Hindi dapat ako umiyak. Kasalanan ko naman eh.


"Almost every night ko siyang binubugbog. She is so stressed sa office everyday, I know. And yet, when she reaches home, sinasampal ko siya, tinutulak, sinusuntok. I even insulted her. Countless time already." I said while looking down and in between my sobs.
