Silver
Woah! 😯 This must be exciting!
Roux
Of course, it should be. It's our story. Right lovey?
Euna
Is that how you call your stepsister?
Roux
Well, are you just my stepsister?
Euna
Let's just see. Are you ready?
Silver
Yieeeee! I love thisssssssss 😍
Episode 1: Home
Despite the heavy storm, the plane, in which Euna boarded, safely landed at Mactan International Airport in Cebu.
Silver
Eunice Anastasia Scavini! Oh my god!
Worried sick, Silvereign Park, couldn't help but to widen her eyes at her best friend who's now walking close towards her.
Euna
Silver 😭 (*exhausted)
Euna's feeling nauseous right after boarding off the plane.
Silver
What the h*ll were you thinking?! Have you lost your mind? You still pushed your flight even if there's a typhoon.
Euna
Yeah, yeah. I'm sorry okay. I didn't know that it could be really dangerous. Besides, I got home perfectly fine. Yeah?
Silver
Oh, Euna. You are really crazy.
Euna
Crazy it is. Didn't you miss me?
Silver
Of course I missed you.
Silver pulled Euna for a tight embrace. She took a deep sigh of relief as her best friend landed safely.
Euna
Don't be mad, okay? I'm fine. I paid the airport for compensation. It's not a problem anymore.
Euna
Yeah. They were about to cancel the flight, but I offered them a good amount of price, and they agreed.
Silver
You really are st*pid.
Silver
How can you offer money just like that?
The girls walked towards the exit of the airport. Due to exhaustion, Euna couldn't even lift a finger, so Silver was the one who secured her luggage and stuff, then drove towards Euna's condo in Greenhills.
The two are now sitting in Euna's living room. Silver was eating some leftover fries and sunday, while Euna leaned her back on the long sofa.
Silver
Are you sure you're going to be fine? You look miserable. 😆
Euna
Hmp! Don't laugh at me. I'm so full with your orders at Jollibee's.
Euna
God, I really miss it.
Silver
That's what you get if you order me around.
Silver
Tsk! But it was fine.
Silver
I'm happy that you're back.
Silver
I wonder where you got the courage to come home. Hmm?
Euna
I've finally moved on?
Euna
And my heart is fully healed.
Silver
*stares at her unconvinced
Silver
Oh really? Okay. You said it yourself.
Euna
It's true. How many years has it been? Five?
Euna
The Philippines is vast. I doubt that our fate will cross again.
Euna
Ho ho! Let's stop there. My father's wedding is fast approaching. I wouldn't miss that, will I?
Silver
Oh, I remembered. So, that's why you're back.
Silver
Haven't you met your step mother?
Euna
Not yet. But dad said she's kind.
Silver
And what if she's not?
Silver
Like, she'll be a villainess in your life.
Euna
I'm pretty sure she's not like that
Euna
She sent me gifts every special occasion and holidays.
Silver
You're easy to please ah?
Silver
You're dad has moved on...
Silver
I didn't mean that.
Euna
I'm happy that he's finally living his life
Silver
Yeah. Okay I'm done.
Silver
I'll get going then.
Euna
Okay. Thanks for today, Silver.
Euna
You really are the best.
Silver
No need to see me out. You rest well okay?
Euna
Yeah, I will. Take care.
Euna
Text me when you get home.
The room was filled with silence.
Euna
*stared at the glow in the dark stones on her ceiling
Then, memories of the past clouded her mind once again.
Back when she was in college...
The fun run at the oval, calm trees at the park, the guitar in the music room, the pancake in the canteen, Silver and her fights, and him...
A tear fell from Euna's eyes.
Euna
*quickly wiped her tears
Euna
Why am I thinking this.
Euna
I've moved on already
Euna
I shouldn't be hurting as if it was yesterday
Euna erased the thoughts in her head. She stood up, went to the shower and prepared for bed.
Good thing that she assigned a trusted person to clean her apartment regularly.
Euna noticed the pictures in her bedside table. It was a family of three spending their holiday in the amusement park. The girl was 6 years old at that time, her parents were both smiling from ear to ear, as if nothing was wrong.
Maybe that younger version of her owes an apology from her.
Euna
But we can't force fate to go our ways
She grew up in a family that she thought was happy and warm. Then little did she know that fate was cruel. Her parents' relationship was shrinking.
They were never in love. They were victims of family traditions that had been existing for generations—arranged marriage, bound with no deep affection but purely related to business expansion.
Euna
But both of them loved me in all possible ways.
Euna
Maybe they weren't meant for each other, but still destined to be my parents.
Euna's mom passed away when she was 12 years old. The family crumbled and hope abandon the house. She never saw her dad shed a single tear. He was calm and domineering as always.
Her ideal family has collapsed. She realized something was wrong.
She was filled with love and kindness her parents showered her. But as she grew up, truths became bare and it became obvious for the naked eye.
Though her dad didn't deeply love her mother, his level of respect was beyond measure. And maybe that was why she thought that it was genuine.
Euna
And now, dad has finally lived his own life, away from my grandparents control.
Euna
He's already in his 50's but he fought for his first love.
Euna
That, I would say, he really is my dad. 🥹
With continuous thoughts running in her mind, Euna eventually fell asleep.
Episode 2: Surprise!?
Euna
*reached her phone and answered the call without even glancing at the caller
Dad
(on call) Hi sweetheart!
Dad
I thought it was 6PM there.
Euna
*realized that she didn't tell her dad that she's already in the country
Euna
I was having a nap. Hehe
Dad
Oh sorry to disturb you cupcake.
Euna
No, it's okay. Really. No worries.
Euna
How are you dad? You miss me so much that you called?
Dad
When are you coming back?
Euna
Well, maybe a week before your big day? Hmm?
Dad
Alright! But, you sounded exhausted. How are you?
Euna
Oh, just a little bit tired from work
Dad
I told you already, you can come back and rest for how many years
Dad
You can travel around the country
Dad
There are lots of scenic views and good spots
Euna
Yeah, but I still need to make money. Most especially now that you already have someone you cherish and you don't love me anymore
Dad
Do you want me to come over? You are acting really childish.
Dad
I love you more, sweetheart.
Euna
*whispered away from phone Very soon. *chuckled
Dad
Alright gotta go, I still need to go to the company.
Euna
Bye, Dad. Take care. Don't let those grumpy old men [shareholders] influence you HAHAHAHA
Dad
You should have handled this matter long ago. I want to retire already.
Euna
And I told you to get a son to inherit your business, remember?
Dad
Then find me a son-in-law
Dad
No, I'm serious. You really have to settle down and be happy with your life.
Euna
Yeah yeah, understood, Sir.
Step Mom
(background voice) Hon? Oh is that Euna?
Step Mom
Hi, Darling! How are you?
Euna
Hello, Tita, good morning po!
Euna
I'm fine po as always
Step Mom
That's good to hear—oh my, I forgot the food
Euna
