CHAPTER 1

CHAPTER 1

KARENE'S POV

"Okay! Goodbye, mom and pops!" I said as I waved goodbye to my parents. "Take care, baby!" sabi ni mama.

I'm Karene Gomez, 18 years old. My parents, Sylvia and Anton Gomez, are in a business industry. I have 3 other siblings. Im 2nd to the youngest. Our eldest is ate Aaliyah, she now has her own family, she has 3 kids – a twin, both boys, and a girl. Ate Aaliyah is a fashion designer, photographer and chef while her hubby is a businessman. Meron na rin silang sariling clothing line, photo studio at restaurant. Without a help from my parents, nakapagtayo na sila ng sarili nilang businesses. My older brother naman, si Jens Daniel, ay graduate ng HRM at nagtatrabaho sa isang restaurant. Sa aming magkakapatid, si kuya ang pinakamatalino pero kulang sa pagiging wais. Napaka easy go lucky. Isa syang math genius and he wanted to study engineering talaga kaso mejo mahina ang loob nya and mahirap daw kaya nag-take sya ng HRM dahil bartending daw ang gusto rin nya. While me, Im studying at one of the famous university in the country. I'm taking up BSIT major in Mutimedia Arts. At ang aming youngest, si Kaye, grade seven na sya sa DLSZ.

When it comes to our dreams, hindi na kami pinapakailaman ng parents namin kasi they know the feeling of being controlled. I have, probably, the most supporting parents. Kahit na sobrang busy ng schedule nila, nakaka-attend pa rin sila sa mga school events.

Anyway, im on my way to Makati. Kakalipat ko lang sa condo na gift ni mom and pops sa akin. My parents taught us how to be independent at an early age. Marunong na kami mag drive at the age of 15 and pinapalayas na kami sa bahay pag nag-18 na kami. At dapat bago kami maging 19, may job na kami. Hindi kami pwedeng pumasok sa company namin. :D May sarili na rin akong kotse at condo unit.

**End call**

--GLORIETTA--

Pag pasok ko sa Italiannis, nakita ko agad si Carrie na nakaupo sa bandang sulok. Kahit na nakatalikod sya, I can say that she is crying. Im wondering why she want to talk to ME. Why me? Of all her friends, why me? I mean, we're not like BFFs. We're friends but we're not super duper ultra mega close. Carrie, 17 years old, is an only child of a teacher and a programmer. Super small world nga eh. Kasi nakilala ko si Carrie sa summer workshop na pinapasukan ko. And only to find out na her cousin, Brent, ay guy bff ko. At nalaman ko na lang na si Carrie at Brent ay pamangkin ng brother-in-law ko nung kasal nila ate Aaliyah at kuya Brendan.

Carrie is a 4th year high school student of one of the most prestigious school in Philippines. Kaya nga 4th year pa lang sya kasi sa school nya ay may 8th grade pa. While sa school ko naman nung high school, though exclusive din un, hanggang 7th grade lang. If you're wondering kung bakit 18 pa lang ako pero nasa 3rd year college na ko. Kasi at the age of two, nag-start na ko sa primary 1.

"Carrie?" sabi ko habang paupo ako.

"Karene! Huuhuhuh I don't know what to do!! huhuhuhu" sabi ni Carrie habang umiiyak pa din.

Super clueless ako sa mga nangyayari ah. What the hell is happening?

"Uhm?! Carrie?! Bakit? ...uhhmm... shhhh. Stop crying na. ...hhmmm... why are you crying? Are you and ..uuhhmm.. ahh. Sammy just broke up?" Sobrang hindi ko talaga alam kung anong meron. Kung makaiyak naman kasi parang end of the world na!

"KAREEEEENNEEE!!! Waaaaaahhhhhh...." Tuloy pa rin ang pag-ungalngal nito.

"Im.. ahhhhh.... I'm.... haaaay! I'm pregnant. Huhuhuhuhu *sniff*" –carrie

"ah? Sorry! I just hallucinated. What did you say?" pakunwaring tanong ko. Please sana joke lang un. Wahhh pano ko naman kasi 'to tutulungan ano!

"waaaaahhh! I said im pregnant!!" –sabi ni carrie

"ui Carrie naman! Don't joke like that."—me

"If im kidding, why will I waste my tears for a dumb joke? Naman Karene! BRAIIIINNNNN!" pangaasar pa nitong babaeng 'to. Lokong nilalang 'to ah! Pektusan ko kaya?

"So? What are you going to do na?"—bakit ba kasi ang pinagsasabihan nya? Andyan naman si May na bff nya ah.

"huhuhuhuhu I don't know. For sure mom and dad's gonna kill me" T.T

"But you still have to tell them. For sure they'll accept you pa rin. After all, you're an only child. They can't afford to lose you." Hindi ko alam kung pampagaan ba ng loob yang sinabi ko!

"I don't know! I don't know! Pano kung itakwil nila ko?" –Carrie

"ahhh! Problema mo na un!! But seriously, they have the right to know that. And that is whether you like it or not" –nabibwisit na ko! Promise! -_-

"But have you tell Sammy already about this? For sure, he will accept the kid. I know how good that guy is" tanong ko. Nang biglang....

umiyak na naman si Carrie ng bonggang bongga.

OMG! Di kaya?? Hindi ito tinanggap ni Sammy? Loko un ah! Hihilain ko lahat ng buhok nun sa katawan eh! Si Sam Peter "Sammy" De La Cruz nga pala ang boyfriend ni Carrie. He's a tennis player and he also competes abroad. Actually, minsan ko lang sila makita ni Carrie na magkasama kasi lagi nga nasa abroad si Sammy for his tournaments. Next month, 1st year anniversary na nila.Haaaay! Ang aga naman binigay ni Carrie ang kanyang bandila ng Pilipinas -_-
