"Oo nga tara pa picture tayo"
"Hello, you're sandro marcos right? Pwede pa picture iho?"

Asan na kaya si anj. Nawala sya bigla. There she is nagbabayad na ng geoceries
"Wait anj i'll pay for it."
"No nabayaran ko na sands"
"Why. Im the one who should pay for it"
"Ano ka ba kanina ka pa nga nakikipag unahan sakin magbayad eh. Kaya this is my treat ok? Tara na gutom na talaga ko"
While nasa bahay na kami anj is cooking fried pork, talong and some bagoong rice then biglang tumawag si mom.
"Hi mom! How are you? Where's pops?"

"It's ok tita nagugutom din po ko eh hehe"
"Wait it's getting late na ha. Why anj is still there baka hanapin na sya?"
"No mom. She called naman na. I ask her to stay kasi we supposed to watch some movies but this girl here is hungry and now im also hungry na"
"I see. Ok son, anj i'll go na matutulog na din ako. You guys take care there. Bye love you guys"
"Bye mom i love you too."
"Bye tita good night. Love you"
"Your mom is really the sweetest! Gosh!"
We're done eating and watching na. She fell asleep na din sa tabi ko. So i tried waking her up para sa guest room na sya mahiga but she's tulog mantika kaya i just carried her sa room.
Looking at her face god she's really pretty.
Good night anj. I closed the door na papunta na sana ako ng room ko but i heard her crying kaya bumalik agad ako ng room nya.
Nananaginip pala sya and she's crying
"Tama na pagod na pagod na ko. Paulit ulit nalang! Magsama sama kayo. Ayoko na!"
Im trying to wake her up kasi grabe na iyak nya
"No. This is enough. I knew it all long but i still let you! I just can't take it na pagod na ko sainyo"
"Hey anj, shhh it's just a dream. Wake up. Shhh"
Nagising naman sya and she's still crying
"Shhh! Stop crying im here na"
"Sorry sands it's just a dream sorry i'll go home nalang." She's still crying padin
"No you stay here lang. stop crying na. Want to share it? Im here to listen anj"
"Im just tired sands. Im soo tired with everything happening in my life. When will i be enough? Binibigay ko naman lahat. From family hanggang sa love hindi ako enough. Im so tired."
"Shhh! No always remember you are enough anj. No one can tell you that you're not enough. Stop crying na" i hugged her she's still sobbing and i just let her rest in my arms. After awhile nakita ko nalang na she fell asleep na pala kaya i decided to sleep na din i can't leave naman kasi nakahiga sya sa arms ko. I kissed her in forehead "good night anj. I will never let that happen to you again"
ANJ's POV
I woke up and nagulat ako katabi ko si sandro at yakap nya ko. Shocks anong nangyari tanong ko pa sa sarili ko then boom flashback nanaginip nanamn ako and theres the crying nanaman.
"Gosh nakakahiya kay sandro"
I decided to get up ng dahan dahan ko inalis yakap nya sakin.
In the kitchen.
Naisip ko naman Shocks yakap ako ni sandro tabi pa kmi natulog kaya ang ate nyo gorl kinilig na.
Naisip ko magluto ng breakfast namin.
I just finished cooking some eggs, bacon, corned beef and garlic rice. Nag prep nalang ako ng coffee ng bigla sya nagsalita.
"Good morning anj! Feel better now?"
"Uhm good morning sands, yes im all good sorry about last night"
"Wow breakfast? Ang dami naman did you order?"
"No ako nagluto nyan. Tara na lets eat. Here's your hazelnut w/ 2 shots of coffee" sabay lagay sa tabi nya.
We're done eating na so we just went sa backyard nila to finish our coffee
"Anj i hope you don't mind. I just want to ask what happened?"
"Ay mr. Congressman may pagka marites ka pala ha. Hahahhaa but no i don't mind naman. So where do you want me to start?"
"From the very start of course hehe"
"I always want my relatives to be proud of me. I want them to notice me too because they're always comparing me to other people eh. Then i had a bf when i was in highschool. They're saying lodi samin kasi up to college kami padin. Everything is planned na nga eh. Something happened and I was soo devastated. I was on the worst part of my life i can't go to school anymore i always skip my classes and drink. A month after i decided to go here and before i left i broke up with him too. After months i met a guy we became official for almost 7 years long distance tho but i know that we're nothing that serious i know that he was just using me for money. I know that he's always cheating on me but i can't let him go that time because i don't want to feel alone eh. Then we broke up and my ex when i was in HS showed up again. He broke up with his live in partner they had 1 child. We were ok naman not until the mother of his child got married. He changed a lot but still the martir side of me kept quite and endured everything. I went home in PI last year then akala ko were still ok but the next day nagising kami and he's gone, he left.
