I broke my own promise not to break down whenever I have bad encounter with my dad. But this time, he shattered my heart into tiny pieces like he used to. I had a surprise visit to his office in Liwasang Bonifacio this morning because I asked the help of his assistant to help me get my NBI clearance. Upon entering the building, all eyes were set on me, saying, “Who the hell is she?” “What’s she doing here?” and so on. I was lead to his office, and I told myself, “Whew! My dad’s a big shot here. 4 members for his office staff, television set, and two big office tables.” True enough, his title: Operations Director. One thing that really caught my eye was a picture of my dad with his illegitimate child. It was really painful. I can’t even explain the feeling. I didn’t comment anymore as I was left speechless, but not clueless to the fact that he loves his illegitimate child more than his legal one. The illegitimate child has a picture on his table, while the legal child has none. What a thrilling experience!
Ikaw na magkaroon ng ganyang ama, sigurado akong isusumpa mong hindi na dapat siya ang naging ama mo.
Lucky Emili!
