The family were having dinner together but Tiffany's sit was empty. Trevor Joey looked at his wife. "Laura is Triffany not eating with us today?" He asked.

"I will."
Tanner looked at his father and warned him. "Dad you have to be careful." His little voice said.
"Why do you say so?" Trevor asked suprise with gently smile.

"Triffany it's your dad." Trevor told her.
"Dad, please come in." She sat up on her bed as Trevor enter. "Dad when did you return?" She asked, she wasn't expecting her dad to be home today.
"Few hours ago." He told her.
"Sorry I couldn't come to welcome you." She apologized and hugged her father.
"It's okay. You're really in a bad state, what's wrong Triffany?" He asked her. "Your mom told me you've been distressed and you couldn't even join us for dinner." They both sat down on the sofa.
Triffany who had always loved her father and shared her sadness and happiness with him told him about how faustrated she was in her job hunt. "Dad I've shamed you." She sob
Trevor pat her shoulder. "Triffany, baby, you don't have to say that you've shamed me, there's a story I'd like to share with you." He told her.
Triffany looked at her father with tears in her eyes. "Which story? I'm all ears"
"There was a young man who graduated like you did, he couldn't find a job too, he had many worries , he wondered how he would meet his parents expectations, how he would buy cars or own a house, to shelter his family if he gets married. He searched all over for even one job but all applications were declined, he was intelligent and diligent but for three years he couldn't find any job. All his hopes were lost and he tried to end his life."
"End his life?" Triffany asked shocked.
"Yes." Trevor continue. "He starved himself and even tried to commit sucide by hanging himself but a woman saved his life. A treasure."
Triffany smiled wiping her tears away, she was interested in this story. "What happened next?" She asked.
"That woman gave him the best words he had ever heard, she encouraged him and gave him an undying hope, this young man then decided he won't give up, and suddenly help came through his believe and guess what Triffany?" He asked her.
"He got a job."
"Yes. As an engineer and work for a year, through his hard work and honest he was promoted and had many contract in different countries, now he don't have any worries, he had a car and a house and got married with two kids he is happy now." He told her.
Triffany smiled happily and looked at her father curiously. "Dad who did he marry, was it that treasure who saved him?" She asked.
Trevor smiled. "Yes she's the best, so he married her."
She smiled. "Interesting."
Trevor looked at her seriously. "Should I tell you the shocking part of this story?" He asked.
"Yes dad."
"That man was me."
Triffany looked up at him shocked. "huh! Then mom is..."
"Yes, the treasure was your mom and the two kids are you and Tanner, and I'm so proud of you both." He told her.
Tiffany's eyes became wet again. "Dad.."
Trevor looked at his beautiful daughter. "Triffany, you've not shamed me at all. I'm one of the people who understands you best, so you don't have to kill yourself because of this, there is a hope somewhere." He told her seriously.
"Dad.." Triffany hugged him tightly. "I love you dad."
"I love you more. Now come downstairs you have to eat, don't make my beautiful treasure worried." He told her.
Triffany smiled knowing who he was talking about. "Okay dad."
"One more thing." Trevor looked at his daughter.
""What's that?" She asked him.
"Don't mention this story to your mother or brother, I promised her I would keep it a secret." He told her.
Triffany smiled and zipped her lips. "I won't spill a single word."
They both laughed. "Alright, come let's go downstairs." Trevor told her and they both head downstairs.
