Will You Love Me Tomorrow? (Maris and Daniel Fan fic)

Raising the Princess

Life may seem unfair but life must go on. Ika nga e di titigil sa pag-ikot mundo just because your heartbroken. So it's either you play the game or habang buhay maging talunan. Tumuloy sa competition sa New York si Dennis kasi he have a goal. He wants to be successful at an early age so he can take care of Keira. 

Sa ngayon naninirahan sila ni Keira sa Mama nya. Nagdecide na Mama nya to stay in the Philippines for good. Unfortunately iniwan sya ng napangasawa nya sa US and his half- siblings decided to stay with their Dad since the guy can afford their way of living and his Mom can't. Sinamahan sya ng mama nya at ni Keira sa New York to support him. Kailangan nya ng lakas ng loob since wala na syang kasamang ipresent ang project nila ni Reid. He'll do it not just for him but for people who believe in him. 

"Chillax ka lang Son, you can do this. Aba di ba't kaw nga may sabi na chicken lang sayo tong contest. This is it! Show them  what you've got!"

" Di naman ako kinakabahan e. I have major, major, major, major confidence. I'm so confident right now." Pagak na tawa ni Dennis.

" Kaya pala para kang maiihi sa salawal mo. Di ba Keira?" as usual tahimik lang si Keira na nagmamasid.

" Baby Loves, Win or win and losing is not an option. Pahug nga loves para pampaswerte", patawang biro ni Dennis. Niyakap nya ito sa pagbabakasakali na bumalik na ito sa dati nitong huswisyo pero tameme lang ang bata.  " Tayo-tayo na lang Keira, we have to be strong. I promise, I'll never leave you.  I love you baby".   Hinalikan pa nito sa noo si Keira.

The presentation started and it's his turn to present his project. He is really nervous but he did good. Infact he received standing ovation. YUng idea nyang maximizing space using small house while using solar energy is a hit. He promoted mobile home that is comfortable and at the same time cheap without compromising the quality of a home is a total hit.  Out of 100 representatives nakapasok sya sa top 3. 

Bukas na ang finals and he will know kung nanalo sya. Dati masaya lang sya na nakasali sya sa game. Ngayon pursigido sya manalo. He will this. He can feel it, kung kailngan maglakad syang nakaluhod sa Baclaran e gagawin nya. Di sya nabigo.....

For the grand prize, Mr. Dennis Torres from the Philippines. 

" OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOHHHHHHH PUsang gala! PUsang gala@ f@ck, T@nggene Reid pare nanalo tayo.  Keira, nanalo tayo. MAma, Tito Marcelo panalo tayo.  Mang oh, picturan mo ko sa taas para makapagspeech ako.

Pag akyat nya sa taas......(Inabot ang microphone at nagreready na magsalita ng pigilan ng lalaki)

"I'm sorry but we don't have to make a speech, you can just go on stage and get your big check with the award. Pasimpleng kinamayan na lang ni Dennis yung host. Masyado kasing mapapel napahiya tuloy. Dinaan na lang nya sa pagpapacute. Tahimik na bumulong si Dennis( " Chura nitong Putosekong to. Palibhasa threatened sa kagwapuhan at kagalingan ko. Haays, Iba na talaga gwapo. Dami insecure") para pang bubuyog na bubulong-bulong ito. 

Tumingin sya sa audience sa gawi ng mama nya at ni Keira,  di nya alam kung namamalikmata lang sya pero parang nakita nya si Tito Marcelo katabi ni Keira. Nakatingin.... Nakangiting pumapalakpak sa kanya. He looked so happy and at peace, after seeing him... he started sobbing.  " Tito Marcelo, I know you can still hear me. Give me strength to raise Keira.

Three years na nakakaraan simula ng trahedya. Ilang sessions and theraphy sa psychiatrist, ilang nawaldas na pera. Ang walanghiyang nanay ni Keira, sa wakas nagparamdam na sa kanila at nagboluntaryong sagutin ang lahat ng gastusin. Pinagbabawalan daw syang umuwi ng DOM nya kaya di daw sya nakadalaw sa libing. She even asked Dennis to take care of her kasi most likely matagal-tagal pa bago sila magkikita since malililiit pa ang kambal nya. Tama, kasagsagan ng mga pasakit na nararamdaman nila, itong higad na nanay nya nagpapakasasa sa yaman ng alpobra nyang matanda.
