All of my life, I've been leaving in hell, all of my life, I didn't know who's my father. My mom said, he left us without a notice or any piece of letter where he went. I don't know exactly what happened, my mom don't want to talk about it.
I went back on what I am doing when I heard my mom shouted at the backyard. "Andrianna, please help me. The bucket is so heavy!" she said, I groaned with frustration. I am studying for my exam tomorrow.
I stood up and went to her, I helped her carrying the bucket full of water. "What are you doing anyway? You didn't help me to wash in here." I almost rolled my eyes, but I am stopping myself to do it, I don't want her to be mad at me again because of my eyes rolling.
"I am studying mom, I have an exam tomorrow. " I coldly said. I just answer to her question even thought she don't care about what I am doing.
Me and my mom are not close as a daughter and mother, she's keeping telling me she doesn't love me because my father left her. Every day, I asked myself if it's my fault.
After helping her, I went back reading the lessons. Why I am studying anyway? Even if I have a lot of medals and some rewards from my hard works in school, she doesn't care anyway, I am just wasting my time to make myself better for her. She won't see my worth after all.
The night came, we're having a silent dinner. It happens every day, no one dared to start a conversation unless she has a question or anything, but after all, we're not talking some nonsense or a serious staff. Yeah, that's what our relationship.
One time, I asked her about my father again. I thought she would be mad I am asking, I just asked if what's the name of my father. She really answers it.
"Aldrin Sandoval," she said, I was about to ask again when she stopped me. "Don't ask again, saying his name makes me puke."
That's the last time I asked her about my father and I shut my mouth when I have a question in my mind. I went to social media to find my father, but I can't find it. I am just hoping the use of social media thing, but maybe the gate will not going to make it happen for me.
The day came, it's my examination day. I am just chillin' and nothing to worry. If I fail the I fail, that's it. No need to worry if I am having a good or bad grades, my mother won't be happy anyway.
"Miss. Sandoval," I looked up our English professor when he called my name. "Yes sir? " I asked and wait his answer.
"Someone looking at you a while ago in the faculty's office." I looked at him.
"Who is it, sir? " I asked back. "He said he's you father, I don't know if he's still in there. You can go to check it. " I can't talk or anything because of what he said.
My father? He's after me too? Maybe I can go and check by myself. I looked at our professor and I smiled. "Thank you, sir, can I go out?" I asked a permission. He just smiled and nodded.
I ran too fast, I need to see my father. This is what I am waiting for, if he will accept me or what, I don't care. I prayed this moment every day.
When I reached in the faculty's room, I saw someone sitting in front of the office. He looks formal and elegant. Maybe he's a new teacher in the university.
I went to the door and knocked twice before opening it.
"Good morning, Mr. Lim told me that someone was looking at me?" I asked the teacher.
"Yeah, he's waiting outside. " By what she said, I turned my back to the man sitting. Our eyes met, I felt something that I don't know. He's looking at me with a serious eye. I gulped twice, waiting him to say anything.
"You must be Ms. Sandoval? " His voice echoes in my mind. He has this aura that you don't want to see, he looks arrogant. He's an old man.
"Yes, sir, I am Adrianna Sandoval." I said and reach my hand into him to formally introduce myself.
I frowned when he pulled me and hugged me tight. "Sir? what are you doing?" I asked, but he didn't answer for a second.
"I've been wanting this day, finally I found you." his voice melts me. He looked at me and touch my face with his both hands.
"You are my daughter. My one and only daughter. " He said and finally, I felt my tears down to my face. I hugged him tightly.
"I prayed this, I found you. I already found you father."
