Llana's point of view

No matter how painful and hard the situation is, sometimes chances give you hope and lifts you up from being drowned.
He's hurting me because of his anger.
He's hurting me because of his wrong beliefs.
But that was okay, we are all played by someone and that's okay. I understand where he's coming from.
Ngayon, nararamdaman ko ng muli ang presensiya niya.
Ngayon, nararamdaman ko ng muli na mayroon pa talagang pag-asa. After all, maling tao naman ang pinaniwalaan niya kaya't siguro ngayong alam na niya ang katotohanan sa babaeng 'yon, babalik na siya.
I can almost feel his kiss and embrace.
If this would be a second chance for us, I won't ever waste it.
Ang makita lang siya at sapat na
Isang yakap at halik lang mula sa kaniya, ayos na.
Isang sorry lang, mapapatawad ko na siya.
Dahil ang tunay na pag-ibig ay hindi madamot sa kapatawaran, kung mahal mo dapat ay pakinggan at patawarin mo. Hindi man niya nagawa sa akin 'yon, hindi ko pa rin siya kayang tiisin ngayon.
I replied to his text message and went inside the room's walk-in-closet. Pagpasok pa lang, namangha na ako sa lawak at laki ng silid. It was filled with a lady's different things. May bags, shoes, heels, gowns, dresses and even expensive jewelries.
Nabaling ang aking mga mata sa isang malaking salamin katapat ng isang sofa. Napangiti ako nang makita ang isang note na nakadikit sa malaking salamin.
Lumapit ako roon at binasa ang nakasulat, "I bought you everything you need, baby. Kung kulang pa, dadagdagan ko pa. Para sa'yo lang ang lahat ng mga 'yan."
Actually, I really don't need these things. Kahit simple lang ay ayos na sa akin. Kahit sapat na rami lang ng gamit, sapat na para sa akin. This is too much, but...what can i say. My mother is no other than any other woman. She's Avanah Mendez, she's now more powerful than ever and she can afford everything she wants even if it is not needed. This penthouse that she doesn't have before, and everything she have now, it was all from her efforts and sacrifices to earn money and power. Sadyang mayaman na pero mas pinayaman pa sa paglipas ng mahabang panahon.
Gusto ko pa sanang manatili at isa-isahin ang mga bagay na mayroon na ako, pero hindi sapat ang ilang oras para sa damit nito. Besides, someone is waiting for me.
Sa halip na isang magandang dress ang isuot, pinili ko na lamang na magsuot ng isang ripped jeans na tinernuhan ng isang simpleng itim na damit.
I'm not used to overdress when in fact we're just going to talk and have a conversation after everything that happened. And, he likes it more for me to look simple, he was used to it.
Habang itinatali ko ang sintas ng aking sapatos, hindi ko maiwasang mapangiti. I'm excited to see him, to see him happy with my existence because that's how we used to be before. Our existence was enough to make our day, kaya sana ganoon ulit ngayon. Sana ganoon pa rin hanggang dulo. Sana walang nagbago.
Bago ako lumabas sa aking silid, siniguro ko na patay na ang lahat ng ilaw.
While walking the hallway, all lights were dimmed. And the whole place was silent. Siguradong tulog na si mommy ngayon.
Nagpatuloy ako sa paglalakad at nang malapit na sa elevator, saktong bumukas ito at bumungad sa akin ang isang babae na naka all black ang suot. She looks formal with her suit, but who is she?
"Saan ka pupunta, Ana?" she asked in a formal tone, "W-who are you? Bakit mo ako kilala? Only my mother calls me...Ana." I asked her with fear because she seems ruthless
