Special Part:

Blair's Good Riddance

***

GOOD RIDDANCE—it is a famous phrase that we use when we're happy to finally be away from someone or get rid of something. Iyong maligaya tayong mawawala na ang kung ano o sino man iyon...

It's not like any other good byes. Because most of the time, good byes are sad. But saying good riddance, you're so willing to cut off ties or burn down bridges.

I'm glad to bid good riddance to the chains that held me captive for so long...

...When my world is falling apart,

When there's no light to break up the dark,

That's when I, I... I look at you...

I was born as the Christeena Blair Salamanca Delos Santos.

As a child, I saw myself pretty, bubbly, excited, honest, a little bit of annoying—but you can't help but probably adore that side of me.

"Mommy, the delivery man is outside already!" Santino's head popped at our room's door. Buti at katatapos ko lang palitan ng diaper si Lass.

"Did Yaya open the gate na?" Binuhat ko ang isang taong gulang kong anak na nakangiti at mas napangiti pa nang halikan ko sa pisngi. She looks like me when I was a baby—fluffy and cutie!

"Yes, Mommy! Ang dami-daming daisies po!"

"Okay, I'll go downstairs."

Ibinalik ko muna sa loob ng play pen si Lass—just beside our king-size bed. Nagsimula itong kunin ang mga stuff toys nito.

Tumakbo si Santino at pumasok din sa loob ng play pen. "I will alaga muna si baby, Mommy, while you arrange your flowers."

"Aww, you're a good boy talaga, love." Yumuko ako at hinalikan din siya sa bumbunan. "Finished na rin with your homeworks?"

"Yes, Mommy!" Umupo si Santino sa tapat ng kapatid nito at pinisil-pisil and pisngi ng kapatid.

"Gently lang, good love."

Santino giggled and kissed Lass' forehead.

Napangiti ako at eksaktong paglabas ko ng kuwarto ay pumasok naman ang yaya ng mga bata. Isang mabilis na bilin at saka ako bumaba at nakita ang mga in-order kong fresh daisies.

They were delivered just how I wanted them, in bouquets and baskets.

Hinaplos ko ang paborito kong bulaklak at bahagyang yumuko para samyuhin ang bango niyon.

I closed my eyes because of its addicting scent for me. Suddenly, I remembered my youth...

Where I thought that this world is like daisies... Pretty and enchanting... Like a fairytale and where I'm a very fortunate princess.
