ELAINE MANOBAN'S POV

"Don't tell me you are going to cry" I warn,seeing Lisa eyes began to teary.Her eyes is red and I know she's been crying for some time before she got here in my room.My girl is so weak.Damn.

She snort. "I'm not" she says. "I'm just.. something got into my eyes" she lied unprofessionaly.

As if I don't know her since forever,hmmph..

I'm the one that who give birth to you Lisa.It's your mother you are lying to right now.

I smirk knowingly and she scoot farther from me on the bed. "Eh? Why did you move away?" I tease but keeping a confuse face.It's a poker face.

She gave me a nervous look before groaning with her head thrown back.It's so easy to play with my girl.She always had the mind I know whatever she is trying to hide or probably fear the fact I know exactly when or how she is behaving when she tried to cover up her problem.

"I.." she started but trailed off before glancing on my way and sighing in defeat. "Fine,I'll tell you" she says.

I nod my head and motion her to continue. "I'm all ears"

"Roséanne leave this morning" she blurt out and a hush of emotion raging inside me.

What the fuck?!

I'm too old for cursing like a sick young people but whatever.

"What the hell?!" I shout and stood on my feet abruptly looking at Lisa who is avoiding eye contact with me by looking away.

"I'm sorry.It's all my fault" she lowered her head as silent sob escaped her lips.

She is crying.I know it!

I took a deep breath and calm myself down.I can't get all panic,too schocked or loosing my cool just because the girl I would like to keep staying in my house left.

I sat on the bed beside Lisa.I reach for her hand and hold it onto mine,rubbing the cold hands with my other hand to soothe her.

"Why are you crying?" I asked.I'm curious.This is so unusual because Lisa is not a crying person.She become an emotional mess since that girl appear up in our life. "Honestly,why are you crying?" I pressed.

She wiped the tears off from her face.

"She reminds me of someone" she says and I frown.

Someone?

"And that person is.." I purposely trailed to give her a hint I want her to finish the sentence.

"Dad" she utter out and a pang of pain hit my chest,making it's hard for me to breathe.The man..that bastard. It's been years his name were not mention in this house or in the office.It's because I forbidden the name and no one is allowed to talk about him.But of course,this orders does not applied to my two daughters; Lisa and Jisoo.

I clear my throat.I feel uneasy when my daughters bring up his name but I have to set a fake expressions always to hide away the pain look that will makes me look vulnerable.It will only shows I'm too affected by the man who ruin my and my daughters life down to hell.

"Your dad?" I asked,urging her to explain why she feel that way even though I likely know what she is going to say for the next.

She nod. "Yes.It's him.The way Roséanne leaves reminds me of the day he leaves also.Exactly on the same times be the same style.First,she told me she is going to leave the next day just like how he said it to me.I've been sitting,waiting for the day finally reverse just to wish for a slightest chance I'll be able to change everything by keeping myself awake while Roséanne is sleeping.Exactly the way I did with him also.Neverthless,they still leave me.On dad case,I was too young.I was only 6 back then and I'm a coward.I thought,after I become a well grown up woman,I will have more courage hearing the words "I'm leaving" coming from anyone but I can't stop the raging feeling inside me that scratch everything so painfully inside,making it's hard to breathe" she says sadly that I can hear the breaking sound of her heart shattering from inside from the way she make the confession.
