Yiel's POV
I'm Yiel Allyyzah Faith Hannah Thiarra Dhey Zathria De La Vega, Yiel in short. I don't really know what comes to my parent's mind in giving me such a long, wait no, a very very very long name. Yes, I am the one and only daughter of Jan Drix De La Vega and Shaina Denniz De La Vega who owns beauty, perfectly curved body, and most importanly, the brain.
Total complete package, sabi nga ng iba. But not for me. Everytime I'm being pre-occupied, it feels like there's something wrong. I feel like, I'm not me. I feel like this isn't me. Na para bang may kulang. Na para bang may kinuha sa akin. Damn me. Kung ano ano na naiisip.
Pinalaki ako nila Mommy at Daddy na hindi lang ang mukha at pangangatawan ang binibigyang pansin, ang pinapahalagaan, sa kadahilanang ang mga magulang ko ay kilala hindi lang sa Pilipinas kundi sa buong mundo.
My daddy is the owner of the most popular and 5 star restaurant that has thousands of branches worldwide, while my mother owns a popular boutique that also has branches abroad. Not as big as Daddy's company but earns Millions. In just a day. So to not damage their images, i am studying so hard na nagkaresulta naman ng maganda. Hindi sa pinagmamayabang but I am the candidate of this year's valedictorian.
I am now a Grade 12 student of Milieux Lout Academy or simply ML Academy. And yes, ML Academy is the top most popular school in the Philippines not to mention the hardships and obstacles bago ka makapasok oficially.
And duh? Don't be judgemental, hindi ako nakapasok dahil sa connections or other cheche's of my parents. Nakapasok ako because of my brains. Hindi ko alam kung nakuha ko sa mga parents ko 'tong galing ko or it just came naturally. But whatever it is, I thank God for the gift and blessing. I maybe a bitch sometimes, well fine, most of a time (happy now? charr.) but I also have fear in God. I'm not a total demon okay? Don't be like Lite, aii peace yoww. HAHAHAHAHA. Okay enough with the intro.
Lemme now........
"Ma'am Yiel?", Ate Bilinda.
"Yes Ya?", I replied.
"Kakain na daw po ma'am Yiel.", said Ate Bilinda.
"Okay po Ya, sunod po ako.", I replied.
"Sige po ma'am.", Ate Bilinda replied.
Before going down I have to do my morning routine first so I hurriedly went to the bathroom to perform it. Tss. Huwag magisip ng masama, kayo ha! So grinn-minded. Face Palm here. I'll just gonna take a bath thenafter fix myself in order to look nice in front of my parents. Simple but elegant ang peg natin guys so yea, I have to look formal and descent in front of them. Isang maling galaw at pagaayos lang kasi, nakikita nila at ayaw na ayaw kong napupuna. Lalong lalo na kung hindi naman dapat napapansin pa yung bagay na yon. You know, maliit na bagay ba kumbaga. I'm a morning person after all kaya kapag pangit na pangyayari agad o salita ang narinig o hindi kaya'y natanggap ko, sira na buong araw ko. Both attitude and performance will be affected. Attitude pa man din ako. People don't and won't want to see that side of me. Everytime nanonotice ng mga nakakasalamuha at mga nakasalamuha ko na, they always try their best not to bother and they even avoid me like I'm some sort of virus. Well, it's for their own good anyways so there's no doubt of that and actuslly, it's a wise choice. A very wise choice.
And now I'm ready, gonna hurry up cause someone. No, not just someone but some goddess. Geez. I don't really consider them as one but other people do. Dahil siguro sa yaman at kapangyarihan ng mga magulang ko kaya maraming natatakot kalabanin sila at syempre marami ding gustong maging kaibigan sila. You know, to get more power. Hayst! Ewan ko ba, people now a days eager for money. It's like money is their life. Though we really can't live without money but we should be contented on what we have. On what God has gave us.
Madami kasi talagang hindi makunte-kontento sa "sapat", they just want more and more of it. Mga mukang pera at syempre thick-faced. Oo, makapal ang mukha. Nasisikmura pa talaga nilang manggamit ng ibang tao para lang makamit nila at makuha ang mga gusto, mga pansariling kagustuhan. Na kahit sa mga kagustuhang ito ay nakakatapak na sila ng ibang tao. I don't really get it.
They maybe have their own reason but they can earn it through hardwork, sariling pawis. It will be more satisfying and worth it if it will be that way. In a way na walang kang matatapakan, wala kang mababangga, walang kang maagrabyado, wala kang makakagalitan, wala kang makakaway and to cut the crap, In a way that there will be no victim.
In the long dining table, there Mom and Dad seriously eating and quitely waiting for me.
"Good morning Mom, good morning Dad.", I greeted them.
"Good morning Sweetie.", Mom.
"How's school?", Dad.
"Fine Dad, as usual.", I replied.
"You done with all of your requirements?", Dad.
"Yea.", I simply replied.
"Honey, don't pressure your daugther. She will pass and meet your expectation, I assure you that. Right Sweetie?", Mom.
"Ofcourse Mom, no worries.", I replied then sighed.
"Don't be too confident. You're school is the most popular in the country and you are carrying my surname so don't do anything stupid and just focus on your studies. You clear with that?", Dad.
"Yes Dad.", I replied.
Blah Blah Blah Blah. That is our everyday morning scene. Dad will always lectures me on my schooling while Mom always siding me. My Dad just don't trust me. He always discourage me by his words, that is only if i will make myself get affected by it. The truth is, it motivates me so bad that I want to slap it in his face that he's wrong. He is wrong about his perceptions about me. I am not a De La Vega for nothing. Didn't he know that I actually get my 70% attitude and brains from him? Tss. And that's not good. Daddy is one of the most feared man not just in this country but around the world. Scary right? But it's the truth. Kaya siguro iilan lang ang nagkakaroon ng lakas na loob na makipagkaibigan sa akin. And here i thought it's because they just naturally don't like me, yun pala natatakot sila kay Dad.
"Ma'am? Tara na po?", Mang Yugin.
Mang Yugin is my Daddy's most trusted driver. Oh diba? Pati sa driver piling pili at strict si Dad. Nakakainis lang. But he's nice naman kaya nagkakasundo kami. Si mang Yugin lang kasi ang hindi ko tinatarayan o tinarayan sa lahat ng mga driver na hinire ni Daddy. And to be honest, magaan ang loob ko sakanya. I wish Dad is as nice as him.
"Ay hindi Mang Yugin, tutunganga lang tayo dito at pag nabored bubuhatin natin yung kotse at ipagkakasya sa bahay tas yung bahay kakargahin natin hanggang school." I replied.
Binabawi ko na, bad mood pala ako ngayon dahil kay Dad. Tss. Nakakainis. Sorry in advance Mang Yugin. HEHE.
"Ma'am naman, tinotoyo nanaman. Comfort na po ba kita? O Bubuhatin na natin papa mo tas ipagkakasya sa kanal? Nako ma'am, mahihirapan tayo niyan. Tadtadtarin nalang po ba?", he joked.
I laughed at that. And I like that side of him really, jan kami actually nagkasundo. He jokes around na parang hindi siya bodyguard ni Daddy, na para bang hindi siya driver.
"Quit it Manong kung hindi mo din naman kaya.", I replied.
"Nako ma'am kayang kaya ko pong gawin yan. Yun ay kung kargo niyo'ko. HEHE.", Mang Yugin.
"HA. HA. HA. So funny Manong, just hurry up. Malelate na po ako.", I commanded.
"Aysus Ma'am, huwag niyo nalang pong dibdibin yung mga sinabi ng Tatay niyo napapraning lang po yun. Madam........"
"Manong Yuginnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn! Oh my God! Oh my God!"
Then everything went black.
