All the Fear she feels inside

Chapter 1 : New Step

* Alarm clock ringing *

" Hoy bata, ano ba? Yung alarm mo kanina pa tumutunog, baka gusto mong bumangon? " mainis na pagsasabi ni Hanz.

" Haaaaay. Kuya!!! Bakit ba dumating tong araw na'to? " sagot ni Celeste

" Aba, unang araw mo sa bilang college student bakit nagrereklamo kana agad diyan? Tumayo kana nga napaka-ingay mo sa umaga. " pang-iinis ni Hanz.

" Ayan nanaman ang mga away bata tumayo na kaya kayo, ano? " sabi ni Maverick.

" Kuya Mav, ayoko pa. " naiinis na pag sagot ni Celeste.

" Anong ayaw mo pa? Celeste, college kana kaya hindi na pwede yung mga ganyan. " pagsagot ni Maverick.

" Kids, come on let's eat. Breakfast is ready. " pagsigaw ng kanilang ama.

( dining area )

" Cel, are you ready for today? Kumain kang mabuti para naman ganahan kang pumasok today. Well, by the way, call me later if you need to buy some school essentials ha? Maaga ang tapos nung schedules ko for today. " pag papaalala ng kanyang Ina.

" Mom, as if naman na may kailangan yang si Celeste? Baunan mo nalang yan ng mga pagkain. " pang-aasar ni Hanz.

" Hay nako, inaasar mo nanaman yung bunso natin Hanz. " sabi ng kanyang ama.

" Lagi namang ganyan yan si Kuya Hanz, dad eh. Ang aga aga nang-aasar agad. " pag sagot ni Celeste.

" Shh, that's enough. Make sure to list down your needs ok? Celeste, I hope you'll continue your achievements this college. " sabi ng kanyang Ina.

" Ayan ka nanaman Nathalia. Let your kids enjoy their studies. Baka ma-pressure nanaman yang anak mo. Alam mo namang hindi yan ang course na gusto niya.. " sabi ng kanyang ama.

" What?! Until now you're blaming me? dahil saakin hindi niya na-take yung course na.. Oh My G. Wala naman siyang mararating don, matt. I know what's best for our kids. Look, si Mav engineer na and he knows how to handle our projects. Si Hanz sooner or later siya na ang magha-handle ng restaurants natin. So Celeste should know her place too. Wala ng ibang pwedeng mag manage ng finance natin kundi siya lang. " pagalit na sagot ng kanyang Ina.

" Mom, Dad... That's enough. Nag aalmusal po tayo.. " mahinhin na pagsagot ni Maverick.

" Aaa.. don't worry mom gagawin kopo ang best ko.. " mahinhin na pagsagot ni Celeste.

" Dapat lang, as you should! " pagsigaw ni Nathalia.

" Hmm, I guess it's time for us to go? Dad, Mom.. alis napo kami. " pag singit ni Hanz sa usapan.

( Inside the Car )

" Cel, wag mo nalang isipin yung mga sinabi ni Mom kanina. Just do what you can do, you don't need to push yourself. " sabi ni Maverick.

" Parang lagi nalang may problema saakin si mom, hindi ko siya maintindihan. Kasi kayo, you have your own dreams and nagka chance pa kayo to pursue it. Like, ganon ba talaga ako ka-walang sense sa life para hindi magkaroon ng chance to pursue my own dreams?? " mainis na pag tatanong ni Celeste.

" Don't say that, cel. You can still pursue your dreams. May kaibigan nga ako, BA Film student. Hindi naman sila kasing yaman natin pero he still push himself to take his dream course. " sagot ni Hanz.

" As if naman na mai-push ko yung dream course ko kay mom diba? We have money but not enough to support my dreams. Lucky that kid na may considerate family. " sagot ni Celeste.

" Just enjoy your college years, bunso. You'll get what you need, soon. Sige na, andito na tayo. Ingat kayo. " sabi ni Maverick.

" Thankyou bro. Ingat ka din. " sabi ni Hanz

( SCHOOL )

" Sige na Kuya. Thanks. Punta nako sa room ko. " pag pa-paalam ni Celeste.

( Classroom )

" Ohhh, here's our dear dear friend. Geroge look!! " pagsigaw ni Lexie.

" Aba aba, ano ang peg natin for today sis? Bakit parang hindi ka yata okay today? " pang-aasar ni George na may matining na boses.

" As usual, si mom. Lagi nalang niyang ino-open yung topic about sa course na gusto ko. Hay nako, whatever. " mainis na pag sagot ni Celeste.

" Let her, sis. Yung kilay mo ibaba mo na. " pagsagot ni George.

" Good day, is this BSA-1? " pagtatanong ni Ms. Jamino

" Yes miss. " pagsagot ni Ava.

" What the? Seriously? Hanggang ngayon kaklase pa din natin yang maarte na yan? " pabulong na sinabi ni Celeste.

" Our greatest enemy? Yes sis. Hindi ko nga alam bakit nandito yan. " pag sagot ni Lexie.

" Hello?? Diba nung career fair natin last year sinabi ni Kobe na pangarap niyang maging CPA. Syempre susunod yan. " pag sagot ni George.

" Grabe? Seryoso ba? Literal na follow your dreams? " sabi ni Lexie.

" Aaaaaa, college is not for me. " pag sagot ni Celeste habang naiirita.

" Okay, today is our first meeting so I don't have anything to discuss pa. I just want to know who wants to be our class representative? " pag tatanong ni Ms. Jamino

" I guess, it's me miss. " pag sagot ni Ava.

" Wait, can you stop Ava?  What if we ask the whole class first, miss? "  pareklamong sagot ni George.

" Is there anyone in this class who wants to compete with me? " maangas na pag tatanong ni Ava.

" Ava, you never changed. " sabi ni Kobe

" Ofcourse! I'm always ready to serve. Miss? I guess I'm the only one who wants to volunteer as your class representative. "  pagsagot ni Ava.

" If that's what you want, then that's fine. Thankyou Ms. Ava. Okay, that's all for today. See you next meeting. Bye Class. " sagot ni Ms. Jamino

" Goodbye, miss. " everyone.
