The Truth Untold

PROLOGUE

        I'm just a simple girl with a happy life. I am the only child. My parents love me with all their heart. In 14 years of living, I never felt that I am not loved.

        Despite of the happy life, I always have that special wish. I am always wishing for siblings. I really wanted an older brother so he could protect me and my mom like dad always do; I wanted a younger sister too in order for me to have a playmate. But that's too impossible because mom said that she couldn't be pregnant again because there were many complications when I was born.

        I am Hazha Zaile Santos Trinidad, daughter of Mr. Harvey and Mrs. Zelaire Santos-Trinidad. I was born on Quezon City but it is not my mom's hometown. It's my dad's. My mom's hometown is in Calbayog, City, Samar. My grandfather and grandmother on mom's side was still there when Mom started living in Quezon City because of her studies. Unfortunately, they are now both dead.

        I have an uncle and I'm treating him as my older brother and kind of best friend too since I do not have siblings. My uncle's name is Zoren Trinidad. He is my daddy's brother. We are too close to each other like how close I am to my mommy and daddy.

        For me, I am the most blessed person in the whole world even though there are things that I don't have. Daddy is always telling me to be grateful every single time in my life because not all people in the world is privileged like me.

       I don't have plenty of friends because I am much more comfortable with my family. They are both my family and friend. I am contented with them and I couldn't ask for more.

        My life was like that. It was almost perfect, it really was. Yes. It WAS. Until one day...
