Sad and Mad 

Kelly’s POV 

13 

I couldn’t ignore him. The fact that he’s here without me telling him about my plans means he knew something’s going on and he didn’t tell me about it. I feel like he doesn’t want me to see my father and it confuses me. Why would he do this? Yes! I hated my father but he knew that he’s still my father. No matter how I hate him, I still care because he’s my flesh and blood, 

“What are you doing here, Klay?” I asked cautiously. 

He stared into my eyes intently, “I’m here to accompany you.” 

“To where?” 

“To your father.” 

I looked away for a second and shook my head before looking at him again, “How did you know that I want to see my father? You said he’s on vacation.” 

“I lied, Kelly.” 

I was shocked by his own confession. He lied? He lied to me about my father. Why? 

“I don’t understand why you had to lie, Klay. But I’m telling you now, I will never forgive you if something happens to my father.” 

“He doesn’t want me to tell you, Kelly. I don’t have a choice.” 

“Tell me about what?” 

He took a deep sigh. Shook his head and gently held my hand. My heart raced when he pulled me closer to him and gently planted a soft kiss on my forehead. 

“I’m sorry for hiding the truth. I won’t lie to you again.” 

My forehead creased. “Of all people, Klay…” 

“I’m sorry…” 

I sighed. “Let’s go. I need to check on my father.” 

He nodded and intertwined our fingers. He took my passport and ticket from me while I was just walking beside him, still so worried about my father. 

I don’t know what’s going on but this just means my father is really in danger. 

I was nervous and uncomfortable the whole time. Klay was constantly squeezing my hand while we’re inside the plane. I’m with him, but my mind was wandering and unfocused. I can’t be late. I still haven’t asked for forgiveness. My father is the only parent left to me. I don’t wanna lose him this way. 

“Babe Klay whispered in my ear. 

I’m worried, Klay.” 

He nodded and caressed my cheek. He stared intently into my eyes, comforting me. 

“I know, babe. But you’re not alone. You don’t have to keep it inside. You’re not alone. You have me.” 

I looked at him with tears pooling in the corner of my eyes, “What should I do?” 

“You just have to be there for him, Kelly. And I will be here for you. You can always count on me. I’m on

your side.” 

Finally, I found myself smiling even only a little. Just knowing that I have someone I can lean on to makes me feel at ease. My father needs me and I also need someone to support me. That was Klay. 

I was able to sleep because of Klay’s comforting words. When we reached the mansion, the tears I have been restraining since we traveled rolled down my cheeks like a flowing river. 

My father had a stroke a few days ago. We came when a doctor was checking on him in his sleep. One of the maids welcomed us and told Klay about my father’s condition. I feel so devastated and broken hearted after learning what my father had been through without me realizing it. I was trying so hard to fix my 

life while my father was slowly falling. 

I sobbed and cried silently beside my father’s bed after the doctor left the room with Klay. I held his hand and gently kissed the back of it as I stared at his face. 

When did he get this old? His face was wrinkled. His hair turned gray. He looked so tired and he looked so sad. 

Looking at my father, I couldn’t help but hate myself for neglecting him. I was so busy hating him that I failed to realize he’s getting old and he’s getting close to leaving me too. I didn’t realize he was hurting. I didn’t realize I left him alone. I forgot that he lost my mom too, his dear wife. I was too harsh on him. Ignoring his desperate calls all these years. Closing my heart to forgiveness and building a wall. from him. 

L 

1–I’m sorry…” I whispered as I sobbed again. 

That’s when I felt a gentle hand caressing my back. I lifted my face and looked at Klay. After seeing his face, I burst into tears. 

He immediately pulled me closer to him and hugged me so tight. I cried in his chest while he started whispering comforting words while caressing my hair. 

“Hush, babe,” Klay whispered gently. “Don’t stress yourself too much. Your father will get through this.
