"Dad will have something to do to other place it's an urgent , and kids are not allowed to come. I promise Dad will be back soon. "
"I'll come even if it's far away." the child's insistence "let go of my dad." its shout at the cops holding its father
"What an innocent kid, your dad will die and be addicted so he just deserves ---
"Please don't talk to much to my kid, let's go."
He looked at the child and then smiled "Daddy will be fine, daddy will come home soonest so don't cry."he said to the girl he then looked at the immature woman who was crying behind the child
"Let's honey, your dad will be leaving already don't be stubborn." Crying woman said to the child as she held it
"The drama is over, enter that." Authoritatively said the fat male policeman
"Daaaaaaaad !." Her mother immediately stopped the girl "Daaaaaad !."
Her father was finally put in the police car, the mother was crying incessantly as their father was driving away.
Their home became miserable but her mother continued to settle down.
"Caci honey, come and eat at least a little."
"I'm not hungry."
"You haven't eaten that for a few days. What's not hungry, kiss. Your dad won't be happy with that when he sees you losing weight." The mother said softly to the child
"Is daddy coming home?" tearful question to his mother
"he will come back to us soonest, come and eat first okay ?."
"Okay mom."
The child always comes home with scars, bruises on the body and messy hair.
"Be honest with me Caci, why do you always come home like that? It's okay? are you fighting hurting?."
"Mom!." she cried and said "I don't want to go in anymore, I won't go in anymore." simultaneously embrace the Mother
"They always say that papa is a murderer, so he hasn't come home yet because he's already on the railing. My teacher tells me he's the son of a criminal." crying this accusation
"Sssh, they are so bad don't worry I will file a case for their vandalism and bullying."
"We don't have an ally anymore."
The mother is silent because She knows that even in Himself, the law will not ignore her, in their place no one will help them because even she herself is ridiculed at her workplace saying bad words and worst she is fired by her Boss.

"What a beautiful place, I want also to visit that." A reporter said cheerfully
"Me too." Harvest of the companion
I immediately looked at the TV, my eyes immediately caught a man in uniform and others who now seem to be in this high position.
Ten years ago and Until Now still fresh in me The painful memories, memories that cannot be buried in oblivion until justice is done.
Ever since it was reported that Papa was dead, we never saw his corpse no matter what my Mother's plea was, we were not listened to, mama was almost mad then. And since then we have moved here to Manila with the help of mama's siblings. It was so painful that we didn't even bury it properly and saw its corpse. He didn't keep his promise that he would return.
"Cacii hellooo ?."
"You're crying again, what's wrong with you ?."
"H-huh a-eh w-it's nothing m-maybe I just feel bad hehe."
"Liar tsk, So what are your plans for this vacation? Do you want to come to Boracay? "
"I'm going home to our Province." I said seriously
"Huh? Where? " Andrea's best friend asked in astonishment
"The one in the News?" shocked it says
"Yes."
"Are you from there? I thought, what do I really know? You're not telling stories. "
"Sorry." I suddenly felt pity "Long story and-and m-painful."
"I won't force you to tell a story, it's okay as long as I just don't know that you're a criminal haha Joke." its joking
"Lol." I kicked him
"Can I come along? Pleaseee. "
"You can't have another one, maybe your parents will just scold you far away. That place."
"I'll let you know. You're with me. Besides, I'll be allowed even if it's far away. Yan, go ahead." his persistence
"Andrea It's still not possible, because -
"Because?
I have no other choice but to tell him, I don't want him to go there because it's scary.
"I'll study there." she was surprised
"WHAT?! Wait, you will transfer "
I just nodded in response
"You are annoying, am I really your friend? Why is it like that." She said tearfully
"Andrei I'm sorry because -
"I only hear sorry from you,Is there nothing else but sorry god Caci! . "
"You can't understand--
"OMG Caci, where is it that I can't understand if you don't say how can I understand if it's just sorry, don't you trust me ?."
He's right. Yes, he's my friend, but not everyone can say no to I don't have confidence, I just really don't like him because I'm not comfortable.
"I trust you Andrei-
"Really? But why is that ?."
I was silent I didn't know what to say. She's really crying
"Okay fine just go!"
I just looked at him as he quickly walked away from me "I'm sorry I have to do this I have to fulfill what I've promised. I don't want to hurt you, I'm afraid that when you find out about my sad life, you will also be judged and more merciful. " The tears that I had been holding back have dripped forever
-----
"Mom." I cried and hugged my mom
"Why son?"
"I will miss you."
"Huh? where are you going son ?. "
"Didn't I say I'm one of the exchange students. I'm moving to Canada and that's all the school's answer." Yes I lied to them
"Are you leaving?" He asked sadly
"Next week."
"The speed, only now will I be separated from you that far. "It's out of breath. Just be careful there, huh ?."
"Yes mom." I tightened even more My hug with him along with the tears From my eyes
-
"Are all your things complete?"
"Yes mom."
I begged them not to take me anymore because we would still meet at school and there. Our meeting place was fine and they agreed.
"Be careful there, sister." my Aunt said sadly
"Yes aunt, thank you."
"Oh, I'm leaving." one by one I hugged them with a smile on my face
"I'll miss you, I'll just chat when we get there."
"Okay, we will miss you too."
I quickly left the house and took a taxi. "Provincial bus terminal please."
