The Missing Piece

Chapter 1

Kate's POV

" Sigurado na ba kayo dito young lady ? "

" Oo nga. Ang kulit naman neto. "  Nakakabanas na ha. Kanina pa kase tanong ng tanong etong yaya kong madaldal .

" Ako na po ang magbubukas. "

" No. I can manage . Stay here and don't go inside. "

" Sige young lady ." Sabay bow.

Well anyway  I'm Kate Xeirra Araneta .

Yeah you heard it right earlier . They call me young lady because I'm the only daughter of the king of all business-which is my dad.

And the hell I care. Some just want to be friends with me because we're rich

Let's just don't mind them. Nakaka-BV lang sila.

My dad treats me like a princess. The only thing that I wish everytime my dad asks me is to go back to the Philippines.

Pero gustuhin ko mang bumalik sa Philippines para hanapin ang mom ko , I really can't .

To make it short, my dad and mom broke up when I was 10 y/o . After that, we (my dad and I), migrated to America . Maybe to ease the pain and the trauma that we've encountered. But I can't remember anything from my past. I was just told by my dad about that story.

Kaya nga rin naging successful si dad kase nakatuon lang ang attention nya sa work at sa 'kin.

Well as a daughter, hindi naman ako masyadong pasaway, I go to school everyday . In fact nagto-top ako  in our school . I am an incoming 4th year student next school year . I also excelled in extra-curricular activities . I want my dad to be proud of me all the time kaya ko to ginagawa and I want people to know me because of those achievements I achieved , not because I'm the daughter of one of the most richest persons in the whole country . Kung alam lang nila 😏

" Ako na po ang kakatok . " bulong sakin ng yaya kong madaldal .Well she's not old . In fact , magkasing age lang kame.

I gave her my deathly glare .

" Sabi ko nga po. Kayo na ."

I took a deep breath and stepped forward . I knocked. The door opened and bumungad sa kin ang personal assisstant ni dad na si Mr. Gomez .

" Yes young lady ? " he asked.

" I wanna talk to dad. "

" Not now young lady. He's about to rest . Ang dami nyang meetings this day. " He said.

Kung ipatumba ko na lang kaya ito? Tss.

Sasagot na sana ako ng may nagsalita sa loob.

" Who's that ?  "

" Young lady is here sir. "

" Papasukin mo sya. "

" But sir. You need to rest now. "

" This won't take too long . We'll just talk for a while. "

" Okay sir. Just call me if you need me. " At umalis na sya.

I entered his room.

Nakasandal sya sa headboard habang nilalagay sa side table ang book na binabasa nya siguro kanina .

" What brought you here princess ? "

" Uh-I. I--I. " Haayy pano ko ba to sisimulan?

I'm really afraid to tell this to dad. Wala kase akong maalala sa mga childhood memories ko. Sumasakit lang ang ulo ko kapag iniisip ko yun.

Since I was a kid, palagi nalang kaseng nagagalit si dad kapag ang bukam bibig ko dati ay puro nalang...

' Gusto kong magbakasyon sa Philippines dad'

o di kaya , ' I want to meet mom dad'

o di namn kaya, ' What about our relatives and friends in the Philippines dad? '

He easily gets mad when I talk about those things before . And when I'll ask him why he doesn't want to talk things over, hindi sya sumasagot. Like really. Kaya, I made my own means and ways to know the things that I should have known as his daughter.

" Go on tell me. Is something or someone's bothering you ? Did you receive death threats lately ?"

Ayan na naman po sya mga kapatid -.-

Napa-paranoid na naman po sya .

" No. Nothing dad. I just- " tumabi ako sa kanya . He's just looking at me, waiting for what will l say .

" I'm just thinking if I could accept the exchange student program in the Philippines dad. "

" We've talked about this for a very long time Kate. You already know the answer.  "

" But dad. I'm now grown up. I can handle myself already. And besides, this could help me in preparing myself to be your heiress . Nandun din naman ang base ng company diba ? I could ask a little help from tita Mildred (my father's sister) in managing the business and ....... I could even possibly see mom there. "

" Are we starting all over again Kate? Alam mo naman diba na all of these things that I'm doing are for your own good ? I'm afraid and I can't afford to lose you again my princess. "  Mahinahon ang boses nya pero alam kong galit na sya .

" See ? That's the thing dad. You want to protect me even if I'm really secured. Nasasakal na ako. I can't even go out  w/o  those stupid bodyguards. I want to live a life simply and normally dad! Mahirap ba yun ? Eto lang naman ang hiling ko dad eh. Please. " I said. Di ko na namalayan na may tumulo na palang luha galing sa mata ko.

Dad wiped the tears flowing from my eyes then he hugged me.

" Shh. Shh. Stop crying now princess. "

We stayed like that for a moment habang hinahagod-hagod ni dad ang likod ko to stop me from crying.

At last, he realesed a deep sigh and said...

" Okay. I'll give you what you want this time sweetie. Just be good there okay ? "

I hugged him tighter and nodded.

I thought it would be hard for me to let him say yes. This is easier than I thought. Now that everything's been set, I will be back. Back with revenge.

Philippines, HERE I COME !
