       Cassandra's POV

       Awoken by the continuous ring of the doorbell, I quickly walked to the front door, annoyed. Sino ba kasing matinong tao ang magdo-doorbell ng sunod sunod sa ganitong oras? It's just thirty minutes past three in the morning for Goodness' sake.

       Ngayon ay naiintindihan ko na si Yohan kapag ginigising siya.

       "What do you need?" Bungad ko sa kung sino man ang nasa labas ng bahay na tinutuluyan ko. Nanlaki naman agad ang mata ko nang makita kung sino ito.

       "Why are you so pissed?" He innocently asked, lips forming into a grin. Napa-awang naman ang bibig ko bago ako tuluyang napangiti.

       "Travis!" I can't help but shriek, and it made him laugh. Niyakap ko na lang din siya at pinapasok sa bahay.

       Shock would be an understatement to describe my reaction right now. What in the world is he doing here in Queenstown?

       "What are you doing here, Trav?" Tanong ko habang iginagaya siya sa may living room. Maiintindihan ko naman kasi kung nasa Hillwood lang kami at ilang minuto lang ang layo niya, kaso hindi.

       The last time I checked, Hillwood is hours away from New Zealand.

        "I'm running an errand. Where's Tito Stephen?" Inilibot niya naman ang tingin niya sa paligid, at pinuri ito. "This place is nice. Are you renting this or Tito bought it?" Napangiti ako at tiningnan din ang bahay.

       "He bought this house."

        We are on a three-months vacation here in New Zealand, and since we have no place to stay, Dad decided to buy one. One month na kaming andito, and kung saan saan na ako napadpad. Sometimes, Dad would go with me and we'd spend time together. Most of the times, he just stays here and does a lot of paperworks from Hillwood. Syempre, hindi niya pwedeng talikuran ang responsibilities niya. May mga importanteng araw din na kinakailangan siya sa Hillwood, at bumabalik siya doon. I don't mind being left alone here. Kapag bumabalik naman kasi siya ng Hillwood ay nagpupunta lang din ako sa kung saan saan.

       Sometimes, tita Zee visits us, too. Once or twice in every two weeks.

       "By the way, Dad is out with some childhood friends. Mamayang mga seven o'clock pa siya babalik. Why are you looking for him?" Agad naman siyang may kinuha sa dala niyang bag at inabot ito sa akin. It's a thick envelope with the Hillwood emblem on it.

       "This is from Dad. He said it's from the Council and tito Stephen needs to see it." Another business work, I see.

       Kinuha ko nalang ito sa kamay niya. "I'll put this in his study so he can see it later. Do you want to rest? There's a guest room upstairs." Baka kasi pagod siya sa byahe, at lagi namang malinis ang guest room kaya pwede siyang magpahinga doon.

        Nang marating ko ang pintuan ng study ni Dad, ay binuksan ko ito agad at pinailaw.

       "No, I'm good. I need to go back to Hillwood, too." Napakunot naman ang noo ko nang marinig ang sinabi niya, kaya minadali ko na ang paglalagay ng dala dala niyang files sa mesa at lumabas ako agad ng study.
