People known me as Chanel, the rich spoiled brat daughter of the Valistine. Each and every single thing I had are expensive. I'm filled with sassiness with a mixture of elegance. I am above of all of them. For that, they get down on their knees, kneeling before me. I get it what I want. Either material things, respect, fame, or friends. Sure does the whole campus wants to be with me-----or be like me.
For 20 years of this life, none of that would've happen if my parents hadn't exist in the first place.
Before I became the Chanel that they know,
I used to be the Chanel that no one knows about.
And I hate it.
I hate my old self.
I hate my old life.
I despise every single memory I had from my previous self.
So I set out to burn it down and became the person I'd always imagined myself to be.
The version of myself who's stronger, unbothered and way more powerful. Much better than anybody else.
"Do you remember now, child? "
I raise my head and met Poseidon's solemn stare.
The water had reached to my neck. Slowly devouring every chance left of survival. My chest feels as if it's being crushed by such a strong force, the beats of my heart desperately fighting against the havoc. Even so, my mind still got stuck inside the black void that I forsake and abandoned long ago. The black whole where memories of my old life collected.
"I, unfortunately d-do. " a bitter smirk escapes from my dry lips.
"Then tell me now. "
Tumingila ako at huminga ulit ng malalim. Binabawi ko na sinabe ko kanina, nakaka-suffocate pala rito. I'm scared of getting drown.
Kahit nag-aalinlangan, sinabe ko ang kasagutan. "N-nagka dengue ako noong araw na iyon dahil nakatira kami sa isang . . . . squatter area. I almost died from it. "
Shit, I don't want to remember this.
"M-my dad rushed me to the nearest hospital and got accompanied by a doctor immediately. Not long after, my weak self somehow managed to survive. Mom and dad gave up all of their remaining money just to keep me alive. "
I swear hindi ko mapapatawad ang mga Dyos na 'to for reminding me this scene. Kakagigil!
"Do you realized it now, don't you? How important are you to your parents? "
What?! May pa-follow up question pa?
Inis ko siyang tinignan habang sinusubukang i-angat ang ulo upang makahinga, "Oh for goodness sake, just let me out of here! I already answered your question, that's what you want. Malulunod na ako rito ano ba! " may pumasok na kunting tubig sa ilong ko kaya ubo ako ng ubo.
