Conchita

 I FEEL that my eyelids are drooping, a sign that I feel sleepy. However, I can't sleep right away. I looked at my wristwatch and saw that it was two in the morning. At this time, Daddy and his female companion arrive.

A few minutes ago I heard the horn of the car. Hurry up

the security guard opened the main gate. As Daddy approaches, my chest beats faster. Am I feeling mixed with you right now?

"Alfredo, hurry up, I want to sleep." the woman's language

My jaw was shaking with anger when I saw Daddy hug the girl and press a kiss. I feel anger and hatred now. I couldn't resist so I met them.

"Laura!" Daddy was shocked to see me while his girl was

smiling I almost killed them both. "Mommy died less than a month ago, why did you replace her right away?" I stopped my tears from falling.

"Laura, I have a need and only your Aunt Conchita can fill that...

Your Mommy is dead and she will never come back to us."

"Alfredo, why don't you tell your son the truth?" His eyebrows are still raised.

"What's the truth?"

Daddy sighed. "Laura, Aunt Conchita is your-

"Your Daddy and I have been in a relationship for a year and we are planning to get married," Conchita said directly.

Daddy bowed as if he was ashamed that I knew the truth.

I couldn't stop my tears. "You've been fooling Mommy for a year! You've been fooling us for a year!" I shouted.

All my life I thought our family was perfect because I never saw them fighting with Mommy. I thought our family was happy, it was all just a big lie.

"N-Your Mommy found out about Conchita and me..."

"You are animals!" I approached Daddy's hook, tweaked him, and slapped him

"Alfredo Help me." The woman is crying.

"Laura! That's it!" Daddy slapped me at the same time.

I was shocked when Daddy slapped me because of his attachment.

I held my cheek as my tears flowed. "Y-You slapped me."

Daddy taught me. "You inherited it from Mommy, too selfish!"

Daddy was very happy as he scolded me.

"Your mommy is dead and I have the right to marry again. From this day on don't mess with me and Conchita, is that clear!"

"Don't you love Mommy, that's why you can easily replace her?"

"I didn't love your Mommy for a long time, that's why I'm a woman. I want to break up with her and she's the only one who doesn't want it. Stop your drama because your Mommy is dead. Conchita will be your Mommy unwillingly and you like!" he shouted.

I was silent at what Daddy said. I can't explain the anger I feel right now, I feel like I want to kill someone.

When his companion passed in front of me, he looked at me angrily.

"Don't cry, Son" My vision darkened so I pulled him again and slapped him. He screamed and asked Daddy for help. Daddy pulled me and slapped me twice and then he punched me in the stomach.

I suddenly felt weak and seemed to be short of breath. "D-Daddy" with tears in his eyes

while looking at her angry face "Try to hurt Conchita, that's not the only thing you can taste. If you don't want to

Conchita, get out of this house. I'll make sure you won't get even a cent. Daddy left at once.

My vision is getting blurry because of the pain in my stomach, it was hard for me to breathe that's why I almost didn't hear what he said. As my eyes gradually blurred, I saw them walking away. Daddy

"Miss! Miss!!!

I slowly opened my eyes when I heard the voice of one of our assistants. I got up and found myself lying on the floor. My jaw started shaking with anger. I remembered what Daddy did to me last night. They didn't even come back to check if I was okay.

"Lady, why did you sleep on the floor? Did you get too drunk last night that you never made it to your room?"

I didn't answer the maid but got up to go back to the room. When I went through the door of Daddy's room, I felt like I wanted to enter and kill them because of the intense anger, but there was a part of my mind that told me not to do it. I entered my room and looked in the mirror. Because of the force of Daddy's slap, my cheeks turned black. My tears flowed when I lifted my clothes, my stomach was bruised by Daddy's punch. I took Mommy's picture.

"Mommy, I'm sorry I just found out the truth. I didn't even feel sorry for you when you found out Daddy had another woman. I'm sorry, Mommy... I don't know Daddy anymore. He hurt me because of his attachment. I feel so bad for him and I feel angry. Why did he do this to us." I hugged his picture and cried.

I feel like I just want to leave the house to end my problem. But when I do that, it's like I gave them both freedom. When I was done, I showered and cleaned myself. I'm going to Mommy's grave to lighten my heart. When I approached her grave, I saw two women wearing black clothes and black hats standing at Mommy's grave, they were also wearing eyeglasses. I can't recognize them.

"Excuse me!!!"

When they saw me they avoided me and walked towards the parked car two meters away.

"Just sandals! Go back! Who are you?!"

But they ignored me and didn't even turn around.

I looked at their car driving away. "Who are those?"

I returned to Mommy's grave and offered a prayer to her.

I sat on the side of his grave. "Mom, the museum isn't finished for you yet, but I promise it will be beautiful." I sighed. "Daddy's bad, he hurt me because of his hook. If you were here, we both would have been dragged by Daddy's hook." My tears started to fall. "Look after me now I have no ally at home," I screamed at the same time.

"Ouch!"

Suddenly someone threw a stone at my face and when I saw what was thrown I saw a handkerchief. By its design, you will know that an owner is a man.

I looked at the person who threw a stone at me and saw the person riding a motorcycle. He was wearing a black jacket and a black helmet. Judging by his stance, you can tell he's a man. I stood up to approach him but before I could approach him he drove the motorcycle away. The handkerchief the man gave me was clean and fragrant so I used it to wipe my tears while I was talking to Mommy. I was at Mommy's grave for almost three hours, and the weight I feel lightens when I talk to her.

"Laura!"

I looked up and saw Ferdinand.

B-Baby." Tears began to form in my eyes when I saw her. Ever since Mommy disappeared I have been crying all the time,

He came to me and hugged me tightly. "I've been looking for you for a while."

"Ferdinand, stay away from me even now."

He took a deep breath. "Okay."

He supported me until I got into his car.

"Where do you want to go?"

"Anywhere as long as it's far from my Daddy."

A smile appeared on Ferdinand's lips. "I know a place where you can relax."

I looked at him. I'm not ready yet if it's about sex you want, I answered bluntly.

His smile faded. Maybe that's what he wanted to do. Since I let him go to second base, he has always been tasting my body parts.

There was even a chance that I was almost swept away by him.

"Baby, can you take me to the park?"

"There are so many places you can go there that you want. I know another place that we will both enjoy for sure."

"I told you I don't even want to."

"I won't take you to heaven if that's what you're thinking. I'll wait if you want to give me your name."

"It's good that you understand me,"

"Don't worry we will take away your sadness now." He smiled at me.

I gave him a small smile in response. If it wasn't for Ferdinand, I might be crazy now. He's the only one I always run to in my problems, that's why I love him so much.

We ate at a restaurant first and then went to the place full of roses that sparkled. The surroundings are very beautiful and they are relaxing to watch.

"Okay, are you ready?"

I nodded. "It's beautiful here, it's like picking roses that sparkle."

Is there a place we can go and then say all your bad feelings there?"

I nodded in response, then continued walking around the place and we took a selfie as well. The last one we went to was the Enchanted Kingdom where we rode their high rides, especially the Extreme Tower. Not only did I feel bad, but I also felt like my soul was lost because of the height of the fall.

I reached home at eleven o'clock at night.

"Why only now?" Daddy asked me.

I caught him in the living room alone reading a magazine. I stopped to glare at him, then stepped on my feet to pass him.

"I'm still talking to you, don't be rude!"

I met his sharp gaze. "Am I the rude one or you?"

"Insult you!" He was about to hit me but I stopped him.

"Alright! Hit me! Hit me! That's how you always want to be followed!"

"I'm still your father so I have a right to know where that came from!"

"You are indeed my father and I am your son, but why don't you want to listen to me? Why are you even more on the side of your party!!

"Learn to respect Conchita because she will be your stepmother. She left earlier to get the papers needed for our marriage, and she will bring the children back here."

"What? He's going to bring a child here. Tsk! Your face is thick! Does he want his children to live here? You should have a little shame on Mommy. This is Mommy's house and she inherited it. this to his parents after you let them live here?"

Whatever is in this house belongs to me and I will do what I want to do." Daddy stood up and came to me. Stop seeing your boyfriend, I'm not happy with you two. " He turned around and walked to his room.

"Manang! Why is it noisy outside?" I asked our helper when he brought me food.

"The children of your Daddy's family have arrived."

My eyebrows meet. "What?"

Our assistant nodded. "I think there's a party because they ordered a lot of food."

I was so annoyed that I left my room. When I looked at the first floor I saw people singing and dancing downstairs. I was in tears when I went down afterward and I turned off what they were playing.

I met their sharp gaze.

Two women are not too far from me in age. Suddenly, Daddy's suit came closer.

"What's going on here?" Conchita's chin is still raised.

I wanted to face him. "I turned off the one you played too loud

"Mama, is he Daddy Alfredo's son?"

The thickness of the face. They also call my Daddy Daddy.

"Let's go outside, son, let's party. They turned around and carried the big stereo.

I went back to my room and continued eating, just fifteen minutes later I heard a series of knocks from my room. I opened it.

I went back to my room and continued eating. Just fifteen minutes later, I heard a series of knocks from my room. I opened it.

"Dad-

Daddy greeted me with a slap. He was very angry with me. Behind him is

I saw Conchita and her teasing children smiling. "I told you not to mess with them!" He almost slapped me again

my face turned. I didn't cry, instead, I looked at Daddy intently.

"Alfredo, don't hurt your son." Conchita approached me. "Are you okay, son?"

I was shocked by Conchita's plasticity towards me. I shook his hand and Daddy saw it, that's why he got even angrier with me.

"I told you to let that boy go! Inherit his Mommy!" Daddy shouted.

Conchita stood up and supported Daddy away from my room. Conchita's two children died.

They were looking at me angrily.

"Don't swim where there is no water." They laughed loudly together, and

then they left. I stood up and faced the mirror. I saw Daddy's handprint on your face. I caressed it while my tears flowed.

"I promise, I won't cry anymore, Mommy."
