She will be loved

Chapter One

"Hi, Daniel."

"Hi, Dj."

"Good Morning, Daniel."

"Uh, hi!" 

Bati ng mga babaeng dinada-anan ni Daniel. It is undeniable na siya ang pinapantasya ng karamihan sa mga babae ng school na pinapasukan niya.

Today is their first day of class. College na siya. They are already in their second year. He took up Business Management. Him, together with his friends - the Parking 5.

He just waved at the girls, and walked. Pumunta siya sa tambayan ng kanyang barkada. They were a band, and of course, where do band members usually go? Sa band room.

Malaki ang kapit nila sa school, so nasusunod sila sa kanilang ka gustohan. 

"Kamusta date ninyo ni Julia, pare?" Seth.

His other friends were also grinning.

He slouched on his chair, at pinatong ang paa sa lamesa na nasa harapan niya.

"Okay lang." Simpleng sagot ni Daniel sabay ngiti.

Julia Baretto is the girl version of Daniel. Kung si Daniel, pinapangarap ng babae. Si Julia ay pinagpapantasyahan ng lalake.

Daniel has this thing for Julia, and of course, sino pa bang makakahindi sa isang Daniel Padilla?

"Oy! Kwento ka naman!" Katsumi.

"Hay! Ayun nag date kami. Nothing really special, just casual."

"Ano?" Naguguluhang tanong ng mga kaibigan niya.

He let out a sigh bago niya sinagot ang tanong ng kanyang mga kaibigan. "It was just a date. Simpleng movie lang, dinner. Getting to know stage pa lang kami kaya casual muna."

"Sus. Bagal! Tagal-tagal nyo ng ganyan! Baka maunahan pa kita jan ah! Hahahaha." Pag bibiro ni Lester sa kanya. 

"Babatukan kita jan!" Sabay aksyong babatukan talaga niya ang kaibigan. Tumawa lang sila, at pinagpatuloy ang kanilang tambay. 

Julia and Daniel had mutual feelings and everybody in school saw them as a couple. As much as he liked Julia, he still was not courting her. Kasi, gusto niya makilala nito ng buong-buo. 

Maybe, soon.

----------------------------

As much as it is a smooth sail for Daniel's life in the Philippines. It was the opposite for Kathryn.

She is unhappy...

She is eighteen years old. At eighteen, most girls, if not all, worry about their grades, their social life, their crushes.

She is eighteen, but her current problem is how she would handle the world on her shoulders.

At sixteen, she was already trained to become the C.E.O of their company. She was the only daughter, the only heiress to her parents' empire.

She balanced school and work, pero she couldn't do both. 

She closed her eyes, and a memory flashed before her eyes.

-- flashback --

"Chandria! Why the hell did you miss the meeting between us and the Zaragosas? It was an important deal! Kahit kelan talaga! You're a disappointment!" Her dad said, as they where in his office. He was sitting in his swivel chair, while nakayuko siyang naka tayo. "And your grades! Nakakahiya ka! Ang baba naman! You're the daughter of one of the most prestigious man in the whole world, at yan ibibigay mo sakin!?

It has been like that. Time management ang kailangan niya, alam niya yun. Pero, her work was too consuming for her to the point na nag slack off siya sa klase. 

"I'm sorry, Dad." She said.

"Sorry, sorry puro ka nalang sorry! Ugh! Chandria, lumabas ka na nga!" His dad ordered. Umalis naman siya at dumeretso sa kanyang office.

She placed her hand on her face, and started crying. 

"Ano pa bang gusto nilang gawin ko?" She asked herself. "I try my best to become the best pero parang walang kwenta lahat ng 'to. Nakakapagod na rin, pero kinakaya ko just to make them proud of me.

I have everything, but I don't have anyone."

She cried again. This was not the first time na narejected na naman yung efforts niya. Pinipilit niyang ini-intindi ang situation niya, pero minsan, kagaya ngayon, nahihirapan siya.

-- end of flashback-- 

She opened her eyes, and went back to reality.

Her dad is one of the reason why matigas ang loob niya. She was a socialite in New York but she didn't have good friends. Only those na casual niyang kasama, pero a best friend? Wala.

She was alone. She feels alone. She is alone.
