"Iyan ba ang natutunan mo sa ilang taon mong paninirahan sa America KC?", her daddy Tor said furiously. Pagkarating na pagkarating nito sa kanilang bahay ay ipinatawag siya nito sa kanilang kasambahay at pinapunta sa library.
"Hindi ka naman namin tinuruan ng ganyang asal KC, hindi ba? PAano mo nagawang umakto ng ganoon sa harap ni Nikolai?", tanong nito na hindi napigilang tumayo mula sa pagkakaupo, pilit din itong pinapakalma ni Yumi na tahimik lang na nakikinig sa kanila.
"Dad, it's Cassandra", bagot niyang sagot dito habang kalmanteng nakade-kuwatro sa upuang kaharap ng mga ito.
"Kristina, KC o Cassandra, ikaw pa rin yun! How can you do such an unacceptable behavior infront of--"
"The chauvinistic jerk and bastard Nikolai, dad?", she added with a sarcastic smile on her lips.
"Por dios por santo Cassandra! Watch your mouth!", nahihintakutang saad ni Yumi sa anak na tila kalmadong-kalmado.
"Did you forgot kung sino ang lalakeng yun and what he did to me years ago?", she said calmly but with gritted teeth.
"Ikaw na mismo ang nagsabi, years ago hija. It was all in the past now, hanggang ngayon ba ay may galit ka pa rin kay Nikolai?", tanong nito sa kanya.
"How can I ever forget that dad? He actually left me during the times I needed him the most. I had an accident and was in coma for months! But despite of everything that happened to me, he left me at nagpakasaya sa buhay niya dito sa Pilipinas! At pagkatapos nun ay napag-alaman pa natin ang tungkol sa lihim nilang relasyon ni Ms. Kriza. He was literally two-timing me with that b*tch! Now tell me, how can I ever forgive him then?", she asked frantically.
"Anak, I understand kung ano ang pinanggagalingan ng galit mo kay Nik. But it has been how many years since that happened? Hindi ba pwedeng kalimutan nalang yun dahil nasisiguro ko na mabuti ang dahilan o makakabuti sayo ang dahilan kung bakit nagawa niya ang bagay na yun sayo. At tungkol naman kay Kriza, he already explained his side anak di ba? He told us that they were already over when he pursued you", kalmadong saad ng mommy Yumi niya.
"Nasasabi niyo yan dahil hindi kayo ang iniwan at pinasakitan ng lalakeng yun at dahil malaking asset na siya ngayon ng Stellar. Pero hinding-hindi ko siya mapapatawad sa ginawa niyang panloloko sa akin!", she stood and went outside the library.
Her dad called her but she didn't look back, dumiretso siya sa kaniyang kwarto at pinilit kalmahin ang sarili.
Her godparents was astonished at what they've witnessed, KC has been very different from the one they've known before.
"Her doctor and Hannah has discovered something from the test they did before siya umuwi dito hon", Yumi said to her husband while looking at the door na nilabasan ni KC.
"Kailan daw ang uwi ni Hannah dito ?", Tor asked.
"Next week, kailangan lang daw nila i-finalize ang lahat", his beautiful wife said.
"That's good. We have to tell KC the truth about her condition. At ang tungkol sa totoong nangyari sa kaniya ng inakala niyang naaksidente siya", at napabuntung-hininga ang si Salvatore habang matamang tinitigan ang pintong nilabasan ng anak.
