EPILOGUE

ELISE.

When I was a kid, I was told to be living to everyone's expectations.. and I did. I've always wanted my family to be satisfied with the knowledge and skills that I have.

Especially to my grandmother. Who has been my strict teacher ever since my childhood. She said to be like this, to be like that. I never do something against her will. I was against my freewill, and I'm too scared to fight for it. Because, I'll lose everything if that happens. Who wants to lose right? It's scary, people could drag you down easily than pushing you up to be better. That's how our society works.

In my elementary years, I was always the quiet and obedient one. Naalala ko pa nga, ni hindi nga ako makasama sa field trip namin nun kasi may business party si Lola kaya lagi niya akong kasama saan man siya pumunta. I didn't even experienced family days because Lola said it's a waste of time. Time is gold. Walang magawa ang Papa ko 'nun, lalo naman ako.

Nung highschool naman ako, hindi ako umaattend ng mga Friendship Nights kasi lagi akong abala sa pagte-training para sa papatakbuhin kong kompanya hanggang nasa wastong edad na ako. I even refused to attend my Prom Night which only happens once in a lifetime, because I have to go to some boring meetings and business proposals. I know, I'm boring.

And when I stepped in to college, the cycle goes on and on. Then, I went to an accident.

I forgot what living with the expectations means. Bumalik na ang mga alaala ko, at huli na ang lahat para magpaalam sa aking Lola, she passed away right after the night of the accident. She was shot in the engagement party, where I left. And I just realized that, I have so many things to be regretting right now.

But, I live my life because people don't get any younger these days, you'll just get used to it somehow.

I'm twenty-three today.

By the way, it's my birthday.

Hinalikan ako sa pisngi ni Mama at inabot sa akin ang kanyang regalo, "Aw, Ma. Thank you!" Binuksan ko ang kahon at agad na niyakap ang unicorn stufftoy. Tumawa naman si Papa habang kinukuhanan ako ng mga litrato, samantalang si Nanay Synthia, ay vine-videohan naman ako.
