CHAPTER 43

His Father nodded and agreed to his request, "Okay, son. I will help you."

It was as if a thorn had been pulled out of him because of what he heard. Now he felt his Father's presence; only now did he feel his Father call him the son he had waited for so long. He only asks for his Father's presence and support.

"Thank you, Dad." After he said that, he saw the spark of joy in his Father's eyes that made him smile. "I have to go. I just need some of your men and guns to help me."

"Take care." His Father willed and then patted his shoulder twice to support his walk. "You will fulfill our Deal."

"You think Lucius is going to come here to save you, huh?" That voice that came from the door. "You're hallucinating!"

Estella heard a familiar woman's voice. She tried to reflect on her face because it was quite dark where she was, and only the sun was shining on the bahay-kubo.

The woman laughed and turned to the light to see who that woman was. Estella was surprised to see it was Delia.
