"Daddy poison himself…" my voice cracked.
That's when my tears started to flow. How Daddy can leave me that easily. How life's so biased with me the whole time. I was not on my own as I watched the emptiness. Daddy died on arrival. I couldn't think properly. I couldn't eat. Everything. It's like I want to follow.
I was breaking down as I smell the familiar scent of hospital. Tita held me tightly as I tried to hold back my tears. But I couldn't. All of us were in tears.
I saw how the nurse look away after a minute. That's when I knew. I bit my lip as I always prepared myself for what I could hear. And I'm right. Dad leave me too.
I closed my eyes as I remembered everything. The throbbing pain on me still awaken everytime I see his pictures. Why all of a sudden, Dy? I want to question everything, but I'm too exhausted for it.
Daddy's cremenated. My eyes started to watered again at the realizat

I eyed my phone, while my Mommy was busy putting a light makeup to even tone my skin."Will you send for, Frael?" aniya."He'll pick me up, Thomas."He looked up at me. I could see the shock in his eyes at what I heard."Don't you say you're flirting?" he said in a whisper.I looked at him nicely putting a little color on my face. I sighed when I heard her gasp when I tried to looked at her."There's nothing wrong with that-""How old are you again, hija? You're starting to be a model.

Ingrid's Point of ViewAs far as I want to conceal the pain, I could do nothing, but to cry over and over. I can't quite imagine, how I endured his paralyzed stare, as he watched me. It seems that all the barrier I am putting to me, won't even pass by his alluring stare."Is it Sunday too, Ingrid? Do you have anything new ?!"My knees softened in his cold tone. I tried to compose myself, to look back with my blank expression, but I couldn't. It was as if he was manipulating me every time I tried to stare at him. It’s scorching, and I don’t want to think I’ll give up just in case.I put aside my thoughts and stared at his defiant gaze. It resembles those very intimidate eyes, that I once can't met before.

I rolled my eyes at Elton who's behind her murmuring something."He doesn't seem to be crying…" I teases him.His brow shot up and laugh at my mocked. It was as if someone had caressed my chest there. Slightly my eyes found Alonzo. I immediately shuddered as he approached our band. I know he'll offer me again to try modeling.Rina and Elton said goodbye to go to a few tables.

"Lets say eight years?"Her eyes widened there. She shook his head there. When I started to work part time on Alonzo, Ingrid wasn't there. Just when, three years and counting huh?"Perhaps, you have no intention of coming back?" she asked curiously.My lips rose there. I'm expecting she's gonna question it. I bit my lip at the thought. How after those eight years I'm finally coming back at home. Free again. But I would dare if I had the chance too. So far, I'm fine with that. I sighed as I thought of a few details. I almost forbid to not remember any single thing of it.I chuckled as I lifted my eyes on her."I really don't know…""Busy, Ingrid." I added.He nodded there while sipping.

Ingrid Point of ViewI sighed as I recall all the stuffs back there. How Alforo contacted me, but Ria just retorting it.I shut my eyes there. The hardest part of being alone were crept within me. And what's more bothered me was the new feeling of air. I can’t quite imagine that I would reach this point. But I guess its normal, and what made it normal was my feelings of settling free. It’s been a long time something I don’t want to get rid of, but as time goes on I know it’s slowly fading away.My heart skipped a beat as I reminice my first day in New York. It was as heavy as the rain poured that day. I don't want you to go back, but the past was a great part of every success. Maybe it’s just like that really, more painful, more learning.

The Emcee teases us.He jokingly glanced at Kier next to him before turning back to me. I laughed at him, while I catch the serious gaze of Kier beside me. Well, they say that we had a secret relationship with my co-model and we just didn’t want to admit it, and I was enlightened with my one on one interview and many still don’t believe.My lips rose and half-open. Can't figure out if to laugh because this question has been asked several times."No. I'm just more focus on works and modeling .." I said wholeheartedly.
