False Hope XI - THE GIFT
Dumating ang Christmas party and everyone's required to wear a red and white. Sinuot ko ang white dress na binili ni mommy nuong napunta ito sa Spain.It's actually nice and this is my first time to wear it. Hindi naman kasi ako nag de-dress unless it's special or formal occasions.Yerin wears a white long sleeve with a touch of red, and a red skinny jeans. Si Cici naman ay naka puting dress. All of us ay may santa claus hat.Napatingin ako kay Axel, he's wearing a simple red and white polo na hati talaga ang color. He looks hot on it, like a burning fire dahil isama mo pa ang ayos ng kanyang buhok.Nag-selfie kami nila Yerin at Cici na nakikigulo naman si Gian. Kaya naisipan nalang ni Yerin na isama sila Axel at Charlie, a groupie shots and nautusan niya si Eunice na classmate namin na picturan kaming anim.It turns out good, at ang ganda ko naman para lagyan ng sungay. Sinamaan ko ng tingin si Axel dahil siya ang naglagay ng sungay saakin. Nag-peace lang ito.Nagpalaro at laging nan
False Hope XII - MOON AND STARS
"Axel!" I turn around to see who's calling me, and I see Cali running towards me with flowers on her hand. Her legs are tiny, so she runs slowly. When she reached me, she gave me the flowers she had picked from the garden. "For you!" She cheerfully said and giggled. Cute. But instead of accepting her flowers, I throw them away, which makes her cry. Kuya Aaron tries to calm her down, and when she does, she stares at me like she's scared and mad of me. "I hate you!" She said with her tiny voice and left with Kuya Aaron. When they're gone, I pick up the flowers and bring them to my room, seal them in a plastic, and keep them in my drawer. I opened my drawer, it was full of things that Cali had given to me, but I threw them away in front of her, and every time she's gone, I pick them up and keep them in my drawer. I don't want to be close to her. It's giving me the thought that she's here in exchange for Ate Adriella. But I can't hide the fact that I like her. She's bubbly, cheerful, an
False Hope XIII - DANCE
Nakarating kami ng London ni Axel, just us since dad and mom needed to clear their schedule first, pero hahabol naman daw before Christmas. Sinundo kami nila Kuya Ash at Kuya Aaron sa airport. "Are you tired? Or gusto niyong mamasyal muna bago umuwi?" Tanong ni Kuya Ash, siya ang namamaneho ng sasakyan habang katabi nito si Axel at katabi ko naman sa likod si Kuya Aaron. "Ikaw Axel? Gusto mo bang mamasyal muna?" Tanong ko sa kanya. Baka kasi ay pagod ito sa biyahe, kaya mas mabuting tanungin ko muna siya. "Sure." Sagot nito at lumawak naman ang ngiti ko. This is not my first time here in London. We've been here before, first Christmas ni Kuya Ash dito sa London, noong bumisita kami sa kanya. "Our baby is now a grown-up lady, and your debut is almost due. So did you already pick your gown?" Tanong ni kuya Aaron. Napangiti ako kasi even though he's using the American word e may British accent ito. "I haven't. Mom's kind of busy, so I haven't planned it with her. But I have some id
False Hope XIV - RINK
We decorated our house with the help of Chelsea, Kuya Aaron's girlfriend. She's half-pinay and half-Japanese. She's cute and friendly; naman dahil naging close kaagad kami. She doesn't want to be called Ate since hindi naman daw siya sanay, so we respect that. Dumating nalang ang Christmas ay hindi parin nakakarating sila mommy dahil the clients and suppliers want to meet them before the year ends. We understand them since they are doing it for us. Kaya kaming lima with Chelsea lang ang nag-Christmas together. Exchanging gifts, I gave each of them a gift, yes, Chelsea included. They gave me a gift, too. I opened Kuya Ash's gift first; pagtanggal ko ng gift wrapper ay iPhone 15 Pro Max ang binigay niya saakin. I hug him and give him a kiss. "Thank you, Kuya! Okay, pa naman iPhone 12 ko e, but thank you, this is great." I've been using my iPhone 12 for three years now. But it's still working, so I don't need an upgrade. But since this is Kuya Ash's gift, it'll be disrespectful if I r
False Hope XV - NEW YEAR
Dumating narin sila mommy two days before the new year's eve. "Did you enjoy?" Mom asked me. "Yes, ma," sabi ko sa kanya. Nasa kwarto ko si mommy. Umupo ito sa kama ko. "Should we start to plan your debut party?" Mom asked. I gave her my suggestions about the theme, etc. After our conversation, bumaba na si mommy, kaya naiwan ako sa kwarto. We stayed at our house dahil umuulan ng snow today. Kumakapal na nga ang snow sa backyard, kaya once na tumigil ito ay gagawa talaga ako ng snowman. Hindi ko namalayan na nakatulog pala ako, nagising lang ako dahil may kumakatok sa pintuan ng kwarto ko. Napatingin ako sa bintana at natigil na nga ang pag-ulan ng snow. "Lunch is ready," pumasok si Axel sa kwarto ko ng hindi ko ito napagbuksan. "Let's build a snowman!" Masaya kong sabi sa kanya, he chuckled. "Later, after lunch." Tumango ako at sumabay na sa kanya pababa. Pagkadating namin ng kusina ay nakita kong hinahanda ni mommy ang kanyang adobong baboy. Which is my favorite? Super na miss
False Hope XVI - FEELINGS
We're back to the Philippines. Back to reality.It's been five days since Axel kept avoiding me, and it's kind of frustrating. How can he change like that? Is he having PMS?Nagtataka sila kuya, pero maging ako ay hindi ko rin masagot.Hindi na umuwi sila mommy sa bahay dahil may aasikasuhin daw sila manila, kaya ang naiwan ulit ay kami ni Axel.The class resumes next Monday, and it's now Friday. I don't want to stay at home, so that's why I invited Yerin and Cici to Mag Mall.Two days palang kami sa Pinas, but it feels like a year."Anong ganap natin at nag-aya kang mag mall?" Tanong ni Yerin. Nasa Starbucks ako at dito ko sila hinintay dahil nga nauna akong dumating."I'm bored!" At sinandal ko ang ulo ko sa upuan. Nag order muna sila Yerin ng drinks at nang bumalik ay inayos ko ang upo ko at hinarap sila."Let's go arcade!" Tanong ko said. Inirapan naman ako ni Cici."Arcade ka dyan, may arcade naman sa mansyon niyo, bakit hindi ka doon naglaro, inistorbo mo pa kami." Sagot ni Cici.
False Hope XVII - TASHA
Lumipas ang linggo ay naisipan ko ng umuwi dahil may pasok pa kami bukas. Hinatid ako nila Yerin. "We love you!" Sabi pa ni Yerin bago ito umalis. Napatingin ako sa bahay. I heaved a heavy sigh before entering the gate. Pagpasok ko ay nakita ko si Axel na nasa pool, nakatalikod saakin at tila malalim ang iniisip.Napabuga ako ng hangin at pumasok na sa loob. Umakyat na ako at dumiretso sa kwarto ko. Nang dumilim na ay bumaba ako para kumain ng hapunan. Nakita ko si Ate Sarah na nagluluto ng hapunan."Nandyan ka na pala, Cali." Ningitian ko si Ate Sarah. "Gutom ka na ba?" Tanong niya, "no ate, take your time po." Kumuha ako ng tubig at nagpunta sa sala. Kinuha ko ang cellphone ko at nag scroll lang sa I*******m ko. Kuya Ash uploaded our photos.Ate Sarah called me and said, Ready na ang pagkain. Tatawagin ko na sana si Axel ng nakita ko itong pababa ng hagdan, kaya dumiretso nalang ako sa hapag-kainan.Tahimik lang kaming kumakain ni Axel, napatingin ako sa kanya, busy lang ito sa kany
False Hope XVIII - REGRETS
Pagkadating ko sa bahay ay nakita ko si mommy na may kausap. "Darling, buti nandito ka na. Ow, where's Axel?" Tanong nito. "Hi mom, may gagawin pa daw si Axel sa school." Sabi ko. "Okay, Cali, this is Jamie, the event organizer. Jamie, this is my daughter, Cali." Pakilala saamin ni mommy. Nag hi ako sa kanya at ngumiti siya. "Kay gandang bata, mana sa mommy!" Natawa si mommy. I feel flattered. Alam kong marami nang nakapagsabi saakin niyan, pero hindi ako naniniwala. Siguro humble lang ako masyado. “kanino pa ba magmamana, siyempre sa nanay.” Tumawa sila at ngumiti nalang ako."Go get change muna anak tapos balik ka dito, okay?" Tumango ako at nagpaalam sa kanila na magbibihis muna. Nang makabihis ay bumaba ako kaagad at pinuntahan sila sa garden. Pinag-uusapan lang namin ang tungkol sa debut ko. May dumating din na kasama ni Ms. Jamie, magsusukat daw para sa gown ko. Pinapili ako ng designs at theme ng debut is Lavander. That's my favorite color, sobrang nakaka kalma tignan ang colo
