CHAPTER I

Gweneth POV

I woke up with the sound of my alarm clock beside me, '7:30am' it showed. I sighed and finger combed my hair, I already know this routine from the back of my hand.

I grabbed my phone, checked my messages and walked downstairs to eat breakfast as I replied to each of my friend's messages. As I walked to our long table, I knew my parents would already be there eating. The sound of the utensils were the only noise I heard, as usual they're silent in each other's company.

This is the reason I hate my family, If you can even call us that. Since I was a child all I heard from them was arguing and fighting over little things. 'How did they even have me?' 'Is this my fault?' 'Was I just the consequences of their teenage mistake?' At this point I don't care anymore.

Wala ng dahilan kung magtanong pa ko. Halata namang hindi nila mahal ang isat isa, paano naman ako? Si mommy may dahilan nito. Dad always told me na arranged marriage sila ni mommy, pero mahal daw talaga ni dad si mommy, bakit ba ganun mommy ko? I feel like she has a different family, I'm not gonna be surprised kung may ibang pamilya yang si mommy. I hate her so much.

"Gwen, anak your mom asked yaya andy mo to cook you your favorite langonisa, halika anak, eat with us ng mommy mo" banggit ni dad nung nakita nya ko.
"Wag na dad, malalate na ko, nandyan na ba si manong ben?"
"Anak, kailangan mo kumain" sabi ni mommy "It's your first day of school, and mamaya pang afternoon work ni mommy today so ako nalang maghahatid sayo sa school."
The dining room felt peaceful kaya umupo nalang ako, It's kind of rare to see my parents na hindi nagsisigawan for once.

"Ayoko kumain, si manong ben nalang maghahatid sakin, malalate na ko-" patayo na sana ako nung biglang dumating si ninang Mariloy and my favorite tita Aiah, may dala silang paper bags.
"Tita Aiah! Wow pasalubong mo ba yan sakin?" Sabi ko habang nakangiti, 2 weeks silang nagbakasyon sa boracay.

"Ako ninang mo pero puro tita aiah ang bukang bibig! Hay nako! Maypinagmanahan talaga..." di ko gets si ninang minsan pero biglang umalis si dad. Lagi ko na papansin na ayaw ni dad kay tita at ninang, I don't know why, magcousins naman si tita and dad, pero at the end of the day, I believe it's none of my business. Nakita kong hinampas ni mommy si ninang, bigla naman syang nagpeace sign.
Tita Aiah gave me a tight hug and kissed my head.

"Hi baby gweneth ko! Miss mo ko noh!" Tita grabbed 3 paper bags and gave it to me. Napatayo ako sa tuwa.
"Wow! You got me clothes tita! Ang ganda! Thank you!" I gave her a hug and she patted my head.
"Mikhs, eto yung para sayo" sabi ni tita, mommy was avoiding eye contact with her which was common. I found there relationship weird sometimes kasi ang awkward nila. Ninang mariloy stepped in between them.

"Para sainyo yang magasawa ha mikha!" Mommy gave ninang a confused look with a hint of irritation. Mom replied, "alam ko...thank you, aiaks..."

"Okay! Anyways, alis na kami mikha, babu magandang inaanak ko, tara na aiah" sabi ni ninang mariloy. Bumeso si ninang kay mommy.

"Anak, gusto mo bang ihatid kita or sabay ka nalang sa tita mo?" Sabi ni mommy. Napahinto sila ninang habang papalabas na sa dining room. "Umm, kay tita Aiah nalang ako" mukhang napaisip si mommy, nasaktan ko yata damdamin nya. Pero masmasaya kasi kasama si tita.
Umalis na si ninang kasi nasa kabila lang yung house nya.

Lumakad si tita saamin. "Baby gwen sa mommy mo nalang ikaw sumabay" sabi ni tita habang nakangiti.

"Hindi okay lang aiah-" mommy was interrupted by tita who crouched down and told me to go with my mom.
"Especially gwenny first day mo pa, Your finally grade 10, your 16 years old na rin! you will need your mommy mikha for this...because I know I did" I didn't really understand the last part of what tita said but They looked at each other as if they had an inside joke that was not funny to both of them.
I agreed with tita nalang kasi I'm so done with this conversation na. " I'll shower na, I'll be down in 20" I hugged tita and said goodbye. As I was walking upstairs to have a quick shower I still heard them a little bit.
"...sige...mauna na ko mikhs..." tita spoke softly
"...thank you aiah..for you know...ang dami kong naging kasalanan sayo pero ikaw pa yung-" mom spoke but tita cut her off

"Forget about it mikha...you made the right choice...I'm...happy for you"
