"Once upon a time, there was a girl named Princess Crizelda. She is the only daughter of King Cristopher and Queen Zenaida, who recently separated due to outgrow romance." I said while caressing the head of my white pomeranian, Lily. "Even though Crizelda knew that her parents won't go back together, she never lost hope that one day her family will be complete again."


Umalis si Lily sa kandungan ko, "Arf, arf!" pagtahol niya. Para bang kinakausap niya ko na tumigil sa ginagawa.

I burst out laughing. I can't blame my Lily. I've been repeating this story to her over and over again. Pero ewan ko ba, hindi ko mapigilan. Para bang naging coping mechanism ko siya. The more I repeat it, the less it hurts.

The sad reality is, lilipas ang panahon, pero ang sakit na iniwan sa atin noong araw na 'yon, hindi na mawawala, masasanay lang tayo sa pakiramdam. Pero kahit na gano'n, sa mapait na pangyayari pa rin ako kumukuha ng lakas para lumaban, para ilaban pa 'to.

I took my phone and made a bright smile. It's April 26, my parents' wedding anniversary! I hope this day will bring them back together. I really prepared hard to set them up on a date so they could talk and reconcile.

"Lily, let's buy flowers and chocolates for Granny?" I asked her softly.

She quickly ran back to me. My baby is so cute, even though there are times that she's a pain in the ass. But seriously, I'm very thankful to have Lily in my life. She stays beside me whenever I feel so much pain.

Since I wanna make sure that everything will go according to my plan, I bathed Lily immediately. I even tried to call Dirk's number, my boyfriend, but he couldn't be reached. He's been ignoring me for weeks 'cause I suspected him that he's cheating on me. But instead of giving me assurance and explaining his side, he suddenly got mad at me for not trusting him.

I just shifted my attention to buying gifts for my Mommy. I don't wanna ruin my day. I will really do my best to force Daddy so he will give it to her and they finally go back together! I believe that they will eventually end up together.

"Good morning!" I greeted Yaya Vilma as I entered our mansion together with Lily

"Good morning!" I greeted Yaya Vilma as I entered our mansion together with Lily.

She is our oldest maid and she's in charge of all the female servants. Yaya Vilma took care of me since I was a baby so I treated her like my own mother too. Siya ang pumuna sa mga pagkukulang ng mga magulang ko na laging abala at walang atensyon sa 'kin. Oo, mayaman kami. Pero mahirap kami sa pagmamahal.

"Crizelda!" Ibinuka niya ang kanyang kamay. Kitang-kita ko sa mga mata niya ang labis na kasiyahan.

I can't help but feel emotional as I let go of Lily and let Yaya Vilma embrace me with her warm hug. Gusto ko man siya makasama, pero hindi ko kaya mag-stay dito sa bahay na wala si Mommy. Pakiramdam ko ay kakainin lang ako ng sobrang lungkot.

"I miss you, Yaya! Pumayat ka. Are you eating well?" I sounded like a cry baby.

"Ayos lang ako, anak. May mga panahon lang na hindi ako maka-kain ng maayos dahil iniisip kita. Bakit hindi ka pa bumalik dito para ma-sigurado ko na maayos ka lagi?" Pakiusap niya.
