Chapter • 1

rain is like pain—
it comes when our souls are so full
that we can't manage to carry it anymore
so we let our selves to speak out
and cry it out loud.

MAG aalas otso na nang magising ako, May 14,2020 another typical day,kailangan ko ulit bantayan at asikasuhin ang mga customers sa flowershop namin.
I went downstairs to check kung nandito na sina Tito and Tita.

sinong di mababaliw sa ulan?~
sinong di mababaliw sa ulan~
'tatawa na lamang,o bakit hindi?~

I stopped and I watch my Tito and Tita dance on our garden,maganda na ang panahon dahil mag ju june na,I stared at them for a while,they're so in love with each other,I wonder kung gano'n din yung pagmamahalan nila Mama at Papa? Consistent din kaya? Kung hindi kaya nagkasakit si Mama,sila pa rin kaya? My Mama used to love flowers that's why nagpatayo silang dalawa ni papa ng flowershop here in Balanga.Alam nyo ba ending nila?

Ayon,di rin pala sila sa huli.

Funny right? kaya nung naghiwalay sina mama at papa, dinistract ni mama ang sarili nya para kalimutan si papa kaso lang,hindi kinaya ni mama yung sakit,emotionally and physically,kaya she ended up dying dahil sa heartattack,kaya yung shop namin napunta na sa palangalan ko at yung nagmamanage naman eh sila Tito at Tita.
I came back to my senses nang magsalita ang tita ko

"Oh bakit tulala ang Dierdre namin huh"she said while smiling,she's so kind parang si mama lang,she never failed as my second mom.

"Nothing tita,I just remembered Mama,sana ganyan din sila ka consistent ni Papa nung sila pa 'no?" I said while walking and went to kitchen,leaving my tito and tita stunned.

I prepared bread toast and egg for my breakfast, I ate and went to my room again para gumayak na umalis.
I was wearing my yellow floral wrap around below the knee dress paired it with flat sandals and sling bag,fixed my short hair at nagmano na kina Tito at Tita.
I'm on my way to our flowershop when my phone rang,it was Amorette my only friend—

"Hey marceline,any plans today?"she asked cheerfully 

"Nah,busy sa shop medyo madaming customers ngayon alam mo na" I said

"Fine,puntahan kita dyan,may ibibigay ako sayo" she said at binaba ko na.

Amore is my only friend since highschool until now na mag fi first year college na kami, I wonder why Amorette always have a boyfriend or fling,Ganon na ba 'ko ka boring? since highschool palagi akong broken hearted jusmio por pabor ganon ba ko ka malas pag dating sa mga ganyan?

Hours passed and Amorette came,it is already 5pm my tito and tita came na rin sa shop para makalabas naman na ako
I was arranging the flowers na nakadisplay habang ineentertain naman ni Amore sina Tita.
After arranging the flowers nag aya na si Amore na lumabas kasama nya ngayon si Josh, boyfriend nya.

"Ano yung ibibigay mo?" I said plainly

"Excited ka teh ha kakalabas palang natin sa shop nyo teh" she said sarcastically,tumawa naman si Josh,at may kinuha sya sa slingbag nya,argh this girl

"oh" dagdag nya and she gave me an invitation

"The heck is this? mukha ba kong umaattend sa kasal? hello??? no,no thanks i'm good,besides need ko bantayan yung shop" I rolled my eyes
