Our Own Secret Rendezvous

Chapter 1: The Unfortunate Girl

"Why..? Why me..? Of all the girls in the world, bakit ako pa....?

No, I don't want to! Hindi ako makakapayag na gamitin nila ako at maging instrumento sa pag-kamit ng kanilang pansariling kagustuhan...

Now the're telling me it's for my own good!? How could they!? From the start of this putrid life, hindi nila pinahalagahan ang tunay na ako. They only care about my potencial. For being the heiress of this family's wealth. To accomplish their wicked schemes while behind the scenes...

Ito lang ba!?  Ito lang ba ang silbi ko kaya ako pinanganak sa mundong ito!?

  Many people aspire to be rich.They say it's much better in the top. But being that rich is my problem... Kung pwede lang makipagpalit ng katauhan sa ibang tao, gagawin ko...

Money... Made my life miserable... It made people wicked, corrupt... It attracted false friends...It made a drift between me and my family... It mock my self... It ruined my day... It haunt me through the night... It made me cry".

Good day... I'm Annie Royale... And this is my story... And please... Please understand me...

Annie's P.O.V

Kasalukuyan ako ngayong nakadungaw sa bintana at nakatitig sa kawalan... Habang pinagmamasdan ang mga ulap na aming nalalampasan, ako ay malalim na nag-iisip... Nagmumuni-muni kum'baga...

Habang papalapit sa aming destinasyon, ako ay nakakaramdam ng mag-kahalong kaba at sabik... Iniisip ang mga bagay na mangyayari... Pero bigla kong na-realize na wala rin namang mag-babago... Hindi pa rin naman ako makakalaya sa napakalaking hawla na ito...

Bigla akong napaisip...

Kumusta na kaya yung batang nakilala ko nitong nakalipas na sampung taon...? Bigla akong napangisi. Ano ba naman ako?Thinking of someone without knowing it's name. And besides, it's too long since then when I first met him.  But the truth is, masaya ako habang iniisip ko siya. Nakilala ko siya sa 'di inaasahang pag-kakataon sa 'di inaasahang lugar...




Flashback...

I was then 7-yrs.old of age when I got lost in the Hacienda. Despite of being that huge, not to mention it's wide Labyrinth in the middle of it's garden where I got lost in...

"Mom! Dad! Where are you?"

I was then wandering the paths of the Labyrinth when I realize I was lost. No where to go... Filled with sadness and with hopelessness as an innocent child who does'nt know the way back. I was like a lost puppy, crying while trying to find the way out, at most.
