CHAPTER 1
CASSEY'S POV:
HI. I am Sophia Cassandra Dominguez, please call me Cassey for short.
Pangarap kong maging sikat na singer. Sa totoo lang, marami akong kayang gawin na hindi alam ng ibang tao. Pangarap ko ding yumaman... yung sobrang yaman. Para mapuntahan ko lahat ng gusto kong puntahan at mabili ko lahat ng gusto kong bilhin. Hindi naman kami sobrang naghihirap sa buhay, pero hindi ko din naman nakukuha lahat ng gusto ko. Tinuruan ako ng Nanay at Tatay ko kung paano magpahalaga sa pera na pinaghihirapan nila. Good thing about my parents, they give me anything whenever school is concerned.
Nagpapasalamat ako sa Diyos dahil binigyan Niya ako ng pamilya na sobrang mapagmahal at marunong magpahalaga. Naa-appreciate ko ang mga bagay na ginagawa ng mga magulang ko para sa aming magkakapatid. Utang ko sa kanila ang lahat kaya ngayon ga-graduate na ako sa kursong Nursing. Ako ang bunso sa tatlong magkakapatid. Kuya ko si Franz at Ate ko naman si Chesca.
Kuya Franz is a Cardiologist and an Internal Medicine Doctor at St. Luke's Medical Center in Quezon City. He is still living with us even at the age of 32. Eh kasi ang sabi niya, gusto daw niyang ma-enjoy yung moment na wala pa siyang sariling pamilya at gusto niyang makasama kami everyday nila Nanay at Tatay. You all might be wondering if he's still single, but no.. He's currently in a 5-year relationship with Ate Dani. They're planning to get married next year though.
Ate Chesca, on the other hand, is a licensed Medical Technologist who's based in the USA for 6 years now. Yes, she's still single. Hindi ko alam kung may boyfriend siya, wala pa siyang nababanggit. Anyway, bata pa naman siya. She's just 6 years older than me.
Wait, nabanggit ko ba na honor student sila pareho nung maka-graduate? Yes, matalino nga sila. Sabi ni Nanay, mana daw kay Tatay. Si Tatay kasi, maibilidad na eh matalino pa. Kaya kita naman ang equivalent di ba? Proud akong sabihin na kaya doctor at licensed MedTech ngayon ang mga kapatid ko ay dahil din sa pagsisikap nila at ng mga magulang namin.
Kung iisipin, mataas talaga ang expectation sa akin ng ibang tao dahil daw lahat ng mga kapatid ko eh board passers at successful sa chosen field nila. Pero 'di ko nararamdaman sa family ko ang pressure na yun. My parents always tell me to focus in my studies and not to mind all the things that other people are telling me. And I am very thankful to them for that. My family never made me feel I'm left out. The truth is, I am a spoiled brat, na medyo hindi din spoiled. My family loves me so much to no offense, and I also love them to pieces!
Ate Dani (short for Danielle Monteverde), my brother's girlfriend, is also very close to me. She's like my older sister, Chesca. Since wala si Ate Ches to take care of me, Ate Dani is always there to make me feel like I don't miss out on a sister's love. I am very grateful to my brother that he allows me and Ate Dani to have our own bonding time, kahit alam kong minsan mas may oras para sa'kin ang girlfriend niya kesa sa kanya. By the way, Ate Dani nga pala is a Pedia doctor. Sabi ni Nanay at Tatay, kaya daw sobrang nag-click kami kasi magaling makipag-usap si Ate Dani sa mga bata. Ang lagay eh mukha akong bata o isip-bata? Si Nanay at Tatay talaga...
Contrary to what other people say, I don't get everything I want, but my siblings always try to give me everything I need. I don't actually get things in an instant, I work hard for it.
Like my mobile phone, I got it when I graduated from High school. Hindi pa nga ako nakakapagpalit since then. 'Di naman dahil di nila kayang ibigay, ayaw ko lang humingi, They actually gave me that for communication purposes. Baka daw kasi kung saan-saan ako pumunta 'pag college na ako. At gusto din ni Ate Ches na may sarili akong phone para natatawagan niya 'ko lagi to check out on me. And my laptop, my baby forever, I got that when I turned 18. Franz is already a doctor at that time and he gave me that as a birthday gift. Ate Ches naman was already working in the USA and gave me a DSLR Nikon camera (my wish!) - this is very useful in my entire Nursing career. Instead of having a party, I chose to spend my birthday in Boracay with my family - my parents' treat. My sister went home only for that special family vacation, and I loved it. It's more enjoying than a one-night party. The truth is, I don't like parties that's why I didn't wanna have something like a debutant party. And I don't want to bother all my friends for a cotillion practice just because of that one night occasion. I treated them na lang after my vacation.
With all these things within my reach, what more could I possibly ask for? BOYFRIEND? Nah. That's the deal. Sabi ni Kuya, he'll give me everything I want... WAG LANG MUNA AKO MAGBO-BOYFRIEND until I am not finished yet with my studies. And take note: I HAVE TO PASS THE BOARD EXAM pa!
Of course, like a normal kid, meron akong crush. Normal pa naman ako noh? But he's clueless about it. I won't tell him, I am not allowed to. He's way older than me, almost like a brother. BASTA. Hindi lang allowed. I know I'll get over this 10-year old feeling soon. SANA...
ANDREI'S POV:
I am Andrei Lopez, Franz Dominguez' bestfriend in crime and the Head of the Cardiology Department in St. Luke's Medical Center. I specialized both in Cardiology and Cosmetology.
Sa klase ng trabaho ko, mahirap humanap ng oras para sa sarili. Wala na halos akong time para makipag-party sa mga kaibigan ko dahil sa trabaho palang, kulang na sa oras. I am still young... if 32 is young for a person like you. Sabi kasi ng iba, I am the youngest among the my seniors who's been head of the Cardiology Department. I wasn't the one who voted for myself, ang mga fellow Cardiologist ko ang naglagay sa akin sa pwesto ko.
Wala akong panahon mag-love life. I am the eldest child of four children of my parents Amelia (plain housewife) and Dr. Andrew Lopez, MD. My father has his own clinic and was telling me also to put up my own, but I told him I am not yet ready for that. Despite of my father's career, he never failed fulfilling his duties for the family. He's in fact a hands-on father, that's why no one of us - his children, was neglected. Nangangamba lang sila na baka tumandang binata daw ako dahil sa sobrang busy ko sa trabaho. I laughed about that. Feeling ko kasi, bata pa ang 32 para mag-asawa.
I sometimes go out on dates, kapag may free time. Pero usually, nagsasawa ang mga ka-date ko dahil palagi daw akong walang time sa kanila. I've once had a serious relationship that lasted for 5 years, but I don't remember anymore when something went wrong. Maybe we just fell apart. But hey, we're still friends. We still communicate through SMS or calls. Nothing serious though. I am not yet ready again to be in a serious commitment.
CRUSH? What's that? Wala ako nun. 'Di ko na ata alam yun. Ang alam ko lang, wala akong panahon ma-inlove sa ngayon.
HELLO DEAREST READERS! SORRY NAMAN KUNG MEDYO SHORT PA ITO... PINAG-AARALAN KO PA ANG WATTPAD.. HAHAHAH! PASENXA NA... TRY KO MAS LONGER YUNG SUSUNOD!
LOVE TO ALL! SANA WAG KAYO MA-BORED :)
