"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.

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.

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

    That car looks precisely like a popular car to her, though she saw it faintly and it was on the other side of the road. The car was driving into Molicano city while they were on their way out of the city. She wished her dad would turn the wheel around to have her doubt-ridden. Her dad concentrated on his driving, so he obviously did not see the car on the other side. Heena was unable to see who drove the car because the glass was tinted and there was no way she could see through the closed glass.Suddenly, her dad turned the wheel around, and in the blink of an eye, they were facing Molicano already. She was happy that with the way her father is driving, they might catch up with the car, to satisfy her curiosity."Dad, why are we going back? She asked. Heena craved to know if they were both on the same page."Dear sorry fastened your seat belt well cause am about to unveil the James Bond in me." She was startled by her father's statement."Mr. James Bond, please drive with caution eve

    "You want to see my d-a-d," Shawn stammered, replying to the weird-looking unknown guests. He didn't open the door for them at first, he was not sure if his dad was expecting any visitors, so he went inside to inform his dad of the unknown guest. As a matter of fact, the Ro'Sau family hardly received visitors for like five years when they lost the eldest member of the family."Shawn, who is the at the gate?" Ro'Sau asked."Three weird men, they claimed that they are here for you," Shawn let it out."Here for me! Ro'Sau exclaimed, but I wasn't expecting anyone," Ro'Sau spoke"Maybe I should send them away," Shawn suggested."No, it's better I go to them," Ro'Sau said and went to the gate. He saw the three men standing outside his gate, he opened the gate and offered them to come inside."Sir we are from Sector F police station, there was a petition against you, so we are here for questioning. I am Inspector Gabi," the officer said and they showed him their identity card."Let's go in fo

    When Heena got into the Inspector's office, she noted that the atmosphere was not friendly at all. "Good afternoon sirs," Heena greeted them in low spirit."Welcome!" Inspector Zenaye and Ro'Sau responded while Ijia tightened his face. Heena sat beside her father, however, she was not feeling comfortable as there was silence in the room.Mr. Ro'Sau asked if he could go outside to discuss this with Heena."Who is she to you?" Ijia asked rudely."She's my first daughter," Ro'Sau replied in a good manner. It looks as though Ijia has overtaken the place of Inspector Zenaye. He took the questioning so seriously as if there was a mega prize for him to win with the case."She's your daughter, so what?" Ijia muttered rudely."Please, Can I have a minute with my daughter outside?" Ro'Sau pleaded."Yes, you can," Inspector Zenaye said ahead of inspector Ijia. Seems Ijia has had an unfinished battle with Ro'Sau in the past because his outrageous behaviour towards him calls for questioning."Dad

    After spending about two hours on the phone talking with her business associate, Daryl turned to see Heena with her fragile personality snoozing at the edge of a family-size well-furnished bed. She grinned inwardly."This girl is so amazing!" Daryl exclaimed before pushing Heena into the middle of the bed so she can sleep soundly, she then wrapped her with a blanket. She thought of taking pictures of Heena's sleeping posture so she could taunt her later but her phone battery percentage is low, so she couldn't have her picture.After she has carefully made Heena sleep comfortably, she then plugged her phone into one of the available charging ports in the hotel room, then took her bath, and joined Heena on the bed to also yield her body to nature's call.Daryl is the only daughter of a business mugu in a country miles away from Swala.

    Heena's head was split into a million pieces, thousands of questions roamed and disturbed her already troubled soul. Disturbing questions lurked freely in her head making themselves comfortable as they are there to stay, ever since her father has been locked up in jail there has been no peace at all, both in her home and head.Oh, she was so lost in thought she didn't notice a car headed right towards her, the piercing sounds of tires against the road were ear-splitting. Turns out a lady was the one driving the car, she got down from the car to find a rather dishevelled girl looking at her.It took Heena some minutes to tell herself that she doesn't know the person standing before her."Uhm, are you okay?". The young lady in front of her asked."I think so," Heena muttered and tried to stand but fell immediately."Wait, let me help you up", she offered to help."Thanks". Heena said.The young lady helped Heena to her car."I don't know what you're going through but I can't just leave

    As Heena thrust the door open, she began to hear noise coming out of their house. What could the noise be all about? she wondered?.Immediately she arrived in the living room, she saw Shawn fuming in irritation, she knew she heard him say "That can never be possible," before he slammed the door and went out of her sight.Avie is the worst person to talk to at this moment, though she looked weary but she fixed her attention on her phone to get away from having eye contact with Heena."Shawn, wait! 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.

    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

    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

    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?" Leah asked"Nothing, I needed someone to escort me to the prison," Heena answered back."Oh my! You scared me on the phone with the way you sounded," Leah confessed."Sorry about that, I was

    Despite all the shreds of evidence presented in the court, Heena and Shawn still believed that their dad was innocent. Their dad gives more attention to moral values than anything else. How could such a person be found wanting for an illicit act? This is a question that is worth asking.Ro'Sau was led out of the courtroom by a few guards, heading to the bus that will take him and other criminals to the prison.Heena ran as fast as she could to her dad. 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. Trisi went to see her husband briefly before he was taken away."Please look after the family well for me," Ro'Sau confessed to Tris
