The guard glanced at the $100 in his hand carefully, the silence was already killing Heena. She couldn't resist the temptation of not seeing her dad, so she tried to barge in if it could work as the guards are busy sending secret codes to each other.

"You only have 5 min in there," said one of the guards seated by the corner of the gate.

Heena nodded her head in affirmation, and she took a few steps forward to proceed into gaining access to the main building.

"Where did you think you were going?" A thick voice asked from behind.

Heena was terrified by the question and she lost her balance in a split second, she almost reached for the ground, but the empty chair beside her helped her to be on her toes.

She was still in a daze. A single question made all her limbs weak, she was standing in the midst of the guards and Leah, however, she was seeing a different thing in her mind.

"Young lady, I don't mean to frighten you away, wait right here for my return," the thick voice guard said to H

    Ro'Sau gripped Heena by her, baby girl gives attention carefully to what I am about to say, Ro'Sau whispered, while Heena nods her head in response."What did you think this place is called?" He asked Heena.Heena raised her brow to have a look at her dad. She wanted to be sure if truly the man standing with her is her dad. His question deserves to be questioned."Don't look at me like that, Princess. Just tell Daddy what your answer is," Ro'Sau let out funnily."Even a blind man knows that everything about this building is Prison," she reacted."You are wrong dear," Ro'Sau said Heena came to be disturbed. The inscription outside says Prison. How come her daddy is saying otherwise. Heena possessed the facial expression of explain yourself to me, because I am lost."Dear here is not a prison, but a school to learn more about life," Ro'Sau let out, though his mind was heavy. He never saw it coming even in his dream that one day his wall would crack down overnight. The worst of all, he

Where are you going? Heena cried out."No need to follow him, he will be fine," Trisi said casually. It is easy to guess that their mother is the flesh behind the noise. "Dad hasn't spent a day in Prison. Can we behave ourselves and let peace reign?" Heena cried out.Heena noticed there was a movement in the bathroom. She thought that they are not more than this, could it be that her dad is back? On second thought she remembered that there was no way that their dad would use Shawn's bathroom.

    "Shawn, you don't have to be rude to Mom, you know…." Shawn could not let her land safely with her words before he snatched it from her mouth."Does she have to treat you like garbage often to thrill Avie?" Shawn asked angrily. There was silence between the duo for some seconds before Shawn took it upon himself to halt the silence."Sis! I can endure all things, but the thought of mom bringing in a total stranger and expecting us to treat him like our dad drives me nuts." This time there was a little calmness in his voice."I understand how you feel, trust me I feel more awful than you." She put in her opinion."Take a look at what happened in there, Dad would have defended you and not encouraged Mom to slap you. What did the strange man do? Adding fuel to an already burning fire. He's so desperate for Mom's attention," Shawn let out.Well, the reverse is the case, it was Trisi that loves attention so much, and Mr. Pindra was only dancing to her melodies."Shawn, about dad, let's disc

"Only heaven knows for long she has been crying on her way here?" Leah wondered inwardly as she walked Heena to her room."What happened to your face?" Leah asked as she can't keep to herself any longer."It's nothing. Hmmm, I guess something entered my eyes," Heena lied."Oh really, the stuff must be huge to have left a mark on your face," Leah said sarcastically."Help me with some of your makeup, let me apply. I'm getting late to work," Heena said to stop Leah asking further questions.Leah grabs the box of makeup, helping Heena to apply it on her

As they were driving to Molicano, she couldn't hold her mind off the dialogue she overheard in her mother's office."Mr. Bari, why was the office so quiet today?" She inquired from the driver."I can't say precisely, but when I called one of the other drivers, he said your mom asked them to go for three hours break, that she wants to have a personal meeting with the investors on how to save your father," Bari explained to her what he was informed.Heena rested her mind, the little conversation she overheard and what Mr. Bari said they are similar, and she has no reason to doubt her mother's loyalty to her father. "I know mum will protect dad as much as she can." She was meant to say the word in her mind, but for an unknown reason, the word came out into the driver's hearing. "I'm sure your mom would

    They drove for about one hour from the court to their house not a single word was heard from one another. It was an abrupt silence, and Trisi was driven with resentment. If not for the fact that the road was less busy, another headline would have surfaced in the news. Immediately they got to the house, it was a busy day for them, they all went to their room, they were all acting up like they had lost a dear one to untimely death. Yes! Prison is not a home to dwell in for anyone, but as long as there is life, there is always hope.Heena spent thirty minutes in her room before she rushed out of the house without a word as others were in their room respectfully. She called Leah on the phone to meet her up somewhere far from her house. In less than thirty minutes Leah showed up."Hey! What's wrong?"

She was crying and shouting "dad! I know you are innocent. We will fight this till the end." Her cry almost made her dad tear up, as the man that he is, he had to control his emotions. Shawn also walked up to his dad and hugged him tightly. The guards understood so they gave them time to say goodbye to each other. Avie stand aloof, she doesn't know if she should cry or scream, but she did wear a sad look.
