✧FAITH ZEICAN LEE✧ I SAT on the porch with Dad, the moon casting a warm glow over the garden. The gentle breeze carried the scent of blooming flowers, creating a peaceful backdrop. Despite the tranquility, my mind was in turmoil. Hindi pa kasi binubuka ni dad ang bibig niya, pero parang alam ko na kung ano at saan papunta ang pag-uusap naming dalawa. Dad turned to me, his eyes filled with concern. "You know, Faith, when your mom and I got married, she was just eighteen. She was still studying, had her whole future ahead of her." Mukhang tama ako ng iniisip. Alam ko na kung saan 'to papunta. Siguradong ganito rin ang pag-uusapan ni mommy at Poppy ngayon "Yes, dad. I know. At mukhang alam ko na rin kung ano'ng pag-uusapan natin. You don't have to tell me. I got it." Dad chuckled softly,
