บท 221: Isa's Step Forward

"My daughter, are you sure that this is what you want?" Isa stood before her father asking him for a single favor. It had been a long time since she had asked for something solely for herself. He had rarely had this chance to be a father that spoiled his daughter.

I can't be the weak one. If I do, I will let my friends down and disappoint every single person who ever cared for me."
