Just Innocent Love

Prologue

"GABRIELLE DAENA GARCIA DEL VALLE!!!" sigaw ng galit na si Kailison

"Inay ko! Kuyaaaa!" sigaw ni Gabrielle habang kinakatok ang pinto ng Kuya nyang si Eriol

Bumukas ang pinto at bumungad kay Gabrielle ang kapatid nyang walang suot na damit at halatang kagigising lang mula sa malakas na pagkatok nya.

Tinulak ni Gabrielle ang pinto at pumasok sa loob. Nakakunot ang noo ni Eriol na nakatingin sa kapatid nyang mukang hinahabol ng multo.

"Ano nanamang ginawa mo?" naiinis na tanong ni Eriol

"Wala akong ginawang masama." nakataas pa ang kamay nya ng sumagot sya

"Are you sure? Mom won't be shouting your name like that if you didn't do anything." inaantok na sinabi ni Eriol

Tumingin si Gabrielle sa kapatid at kumapit sa braso nito.

"What did you do?!" galit na sigaw ni Eriol

"I-I didn't mean to! Nakakainis siya so I punched her!" sigaw ni Gabrielle

Agad na hinila ni Eriol ang kapatid palabas ng kwarto niya na hindi nag-aabalang magsuot ng damit.

"Mom! Gaby is here!" sigaw ni Eriol

Wala pang ilang minuto nang makaakyat si Kail. Agad nyang hinila ang anak nya at pababa ng hagdan.

"Eriol wear your clothes!" sigaw ni Kail habang hila-hila ang anak

Hindi na sumagot si Eriol at pumasok ng kwarto para matulog.

Pinaupo ni Kail ang anak nyang nakangiti ng inosente sa kanya. Umupo sya katapat nito at sinamaan ito ng tingin.

"Tell me Gabrielle what did you do?" naniningkit na matang tanong ni Kail sa anak

"Mom I punched her in the face that's all!!! Okay?!" sigaw ng naiinis na si Gabrielle

"Don't shout at me I'm your mother! Why did you punched her?" sigaw naman pabalik ni Kailison sa anak

"Mom! She and her friends pushed me down the stairs that's why i punched her. She deserves it." sagot ni Gabrielle

Napabuntong hininga nalang si Kail at napahawak sa ulo nya. Alam nyang may temper problems ang anak nya pero hindi nya inaasahang mangyayari ito.

She never expected na may mananakit sa anak niya ng ganito. She can see bruises from Gabrielle's arms but when she will ask what happened, Gabrielle won't say a word.

Alam nyang bata palang si Gabrielle ay nabubully na ito dahil sa kilala ang pamilya nila at marami ang naiingit sa kanila pero hindi nya akalain na hanggang mag-college ang anak ay mabubully padin ito.

Gabrielle told her once that it's her fight not theirs and that made her angry for a minute but when she saw Gabrielle's confident eyes she felt relieved that she raised a strong girl.

Strong enough that she punched a boy who is taller than her and kicked a man that's about to kidnap her. Alam nyang pareho ang kambal nya na nagmana sa kanya pero mas malala si Gabrielle.

"I know Gaby. I just want to hear it from you. Look, I get angry a lot of times especially at you since you were a child but I'm getting angry because you're doing it on your own. You won't even seek help from me or your dad. We care for you darling so please stop acting like you can solve everything." nakangiting sinabi ni Kail sa anak

Simula ng magdalaga si Gabrielle ay hindi na ito nanghihingi ng tulong sa mga magulang. She doesn't seek for their help even she's having a hard time already. Unlike Eriol she is more matured and takes care of everything by herself.

"I thought you'd get angry." bulong ni Gabrielle

"Compare to what you did. I've done a lot worse Gab. Please tell me if there is something you need. I know that you're matured enough but as your mother I miss my little baby girl that loves calling me everytime she fall or had a bad dream." nakangising sinabi ni Kail

"I'm sorry Ma." mahinang nabanggit ni Gabrielle habang nakitingin sa mata ng kanyang ina

Ngumiti naman si Kail at nilapitan ang anak at niyakap. Hinawi nya ang buhok nito na nakatabing sa mukha at nakitang nakangiti si Gabrielle

"So...can I do it again? Because I really hate that girl and her puta amigos." nanggigigil na sinabi ni Gabrielle na nagpatawa kay Kail (bitch friends)

"Watch your words missy." banta ni Kail sa anak

Ngumiti lang si Gabrielle at hinalikan ang pisngi ng ina bago umakyat ng hagdan. Hindi maiwasan ni Kail na mapangiti sa ginawa ng anak. Gabrielle is not the same little girl who cries when she had a bad dream. Hindi na sya ang baby girl na inalagaan nya. This girl is a grown woman that knows how to fight and knows the trick of life.

Alam nyang marami pang masasama at magagandang mangyayari sa anak and she can't wait for that to happen. All she have to do is wait for the time where in Gabrielle Daena Garcia Del Valle will fall in love with a man who will break her walls down.
