There lived a mother named Irene whose heart bore a deep and unending ache as many years ago, a devastating storm had swept through their lives as she lost her one and only daughter.
This is a story of a mother who's longing for her daughter's love...
I am Isabelle Celestine Dy, I'm 16 years old and I grew up in Ilocos Norte with nuns guiding me through almost my whole existence. I'm quite tall for my age, skinny, long brown hair and my skintone is, not too white.
I am a choir member and a youth member as well in our church, since I was 12 years old.
My recognized parents are Sister Annabelle and Sister Theressa, both of them are very close to my heart. They're the one who took care of me since I was brought here in Bahay Kalinga.
It was Sunday morning when my best friends Alliah, Hannah & Josh approached me, they were already dressed, ready to attend the mass.
"Isabelle!" Josh called my attention in her joyful voice, Josh is gay.
"Huy babaita!" Hannah shouted at me as a sign of greeting, wow!
"Hi Marites!" Alliah greeted me also.
"Oh bakit?" I asked them what they needed, I stopped doing what I was doing earlier to face them.
"Anong bakit? Wala ka bang planongmagsimba?" Alliah asked, raising her brows at me.
"Huy hindi pwede, maligo kana dun, susumbong kita sige!" Josh warned, I squint my eyes onto him.
"At sinongnagsabi na hindi ako magsisimba?" I said while I raised my left eyebrows.
"Eto si Alliah oh, siya nagsabi, wala akong alam diyan ha." Hannah said, laughing.
"Huy kapal ng mukha, si Josh yun!" Alliah uttered, pointing at Josh.
"Huy Marites, sa akin mo pa pinasa kasalanan mo noh?" Josh said, eyes to Alliah.
"Ewan ko sainyo, maliligo na ako!" I exclaimed as I left them.
"Huy Isabelle Celestine Dy, dalian mo ha, hintayin ka namin babaita ka!" Josh yelled before I could even go inside the house but didn't look back, those three people are sometimes annoying but they never failed to make me laugh.
They also live in Bahay Kalinga.
I made my way to the bathroom so I could start to take a bath, the mass usually starts at 9:00 am sharp, actually the three of them are so early, the time is still 7:00 am.
But I didn't waste my time, I already took a bath because of course I don't want them to wait too long.
When I finished taking a bath, I picked my clothes. I wore a simple white sweater and faded blue denim pants paired with my white shoes.
I didn't tied my hair yet since it was still wet.
