When Our Universe Collides

Chapter 1

[CHAPTER 1]

It was only a sunny smile, and little it cost in the giving, but like morning light it scattered the night and made the day worth living.

-F. Scott Fitzgerald

3rd Person's POV

She spend her hour alone. Staring at a far view, savoring the breeze that can make you feel relieved. She let out a deep sigh. This is what she's looking for, to be out of the sadness and pain she's suffering.

Kahit isang oras lamang upang saglit na kalimutan ang lahat ng sakit. Kahit isang oras lamang para muli niyang maramdaman ang kapayapaan.

"If only I could stay like this forever, wala akong pagsisisihan." she talked to herself. Isang luha ang kumawala mula sa kanyang mata. Agad niya itong pinunasan bago pa man matuyo sa kanyang balat.

She was sitting on a bench... alone. No one by her side, tulad na lamang nang iwan siya ng kaniyang magulang. Iyon ang mga panahong nais niyang balikan kung posible man sa mundong ito. Sadly, she got unlucky.

Fairy godmothers don't exist, no one can grant her wishes. Her mother once told her about it. Her mother told her that she is a princess; the princess that she would treasure and love with the rest of her life. And every princess has it's own fairy godmother that will allow her to grant some of her wishes.

Lahat ng sinabi ng kaniyang namayapang ina ay habambuhay niyang panghahawakan, dahil ito na lamang ang natitira nitong ala-ala mula noong ito'y pumanaw.

She really loved her mom, nangako siya rito na lagi niyang pahahalagahan ang mga bilin nito, na huwag niyang kakalimutang magpasalamat sa maykapal sa lahat ng biyaya na kanyang matatanggap but she was thinking... how can she make it when she feels like she doesn't have anything to thank with.

A simple smile appeared on her face, a smile that she had forgotten for a while but suddenly faded when she remembered the last moments of her mom.

Her mom was once a chairman of a successful fashion company which gave her that golden spoon on her mouth.

And yes, they were rich until their company got bankrupt. Lingid sa kanyang kaalaman na nagsisimula nang malugi ang kompanyang pinaghirapang maipundar ng kanyang ina.

She wouldn't figure it out until she saw her mother crying, it happened after she had a talk with someone on the phone. There she found out that they were burried in debt and there are no chances left for their company to be saved.

It gave her mother a very deep sadness. Unti-unting nawala ang yaman na dati'y abot kamay niya lamang. Naging sapat na rason ang lahat ng ito upang magkasakit ang kanyang ina.

Ang kanyang ama na nagtatrabaho sa ibang bansa bilang isang Inhinyero ay agad umuwi mula nang mabalitaan ang sinapit ng kanyang asawa.

Naging mahirap pa para sa kanyang ama na magpaalam sa kompanyang kanyang pinagtatrabahuan kaya't pinili niyang magresign na lamang sa trabaho. Bilang isang ama responsibilidad niyang bigyang pansin at protektahan ang kanyang pamilya.

Her father was lucky enough to see her wife still breathing and alive, unlike he would see her wife lying on her death bed.

Nang lumaon ay mas lalong naging malala ang sinapit ng kanyang ina, and they found out that she was already suffering from too much depression. Her father and her became worried, until the day came that they would rather not want to come.
