Chapter 1

“Dad, let me help you with that,” Lyrica quickly offered, rushing to her father’s side. The two walked home together. Lyrica worked in their town as a vendor to help support their family. “Alright, carry this sack for me,” her father said with a tired but warm smile. “I told you, Dad, don’t carry this much. It’s dangerous for you,” she said with concern. “I’m fine, hija. Julio wouldn’t let me ride on his cart earlier—it was already full,” her father explained, his exhaustion evident. Seeing his weary face felt like a stab to Lyrica’s heart. “Dad, good thing you’re back. Ambet and Niño have run out of milk,” Cynthia, her older sister, greeted him. She acted as though Lyrica wasn’t even there. Cynthia already had three children—five-year-old Bingo and almost two-year-old twins, Ambet and Niño. Separated from her husband, who was a womanizer and drunkard, Cynthia was unemployed, leaving the burden of raising her kids to Lyrica and their father. “I didn’t earn anything today, Cynthi...

“Child, you beat me to it again,” Nanay Lucing said with a smile. “Of course, Nanay. You might replace me if I keep coming late,” I joked back. I’ve been working for Nanay Lucing for almost three years now. I started here right after I had to stop my studies. It’s a shame—I would have graduated this year if I had continued. However, my father couldn’t afford to send me to school anymore because my younger siblings, Boyet and Annika, are still in school. The twins are now in 10th grade. My older brother, Roy, lives with his wife but visits every weekend with their child, Rico. “Is there something wrong, child? Forgive me for asking, but I noticed your eyes are swollen,” Nanay Lucing asked with concern. “It’s nothing, Nanay. I just stayed up late last night,” I said, scratching my head. “I know you well, child. After all this time working here, I can tell when something’s wrong.” “There was just a little trouble at home, Nanay, but we’ve sorted it out.” “Are you sure, ch

Chapt 3 "There’s nothing I can do about it now because she doesn’t have the money to give back. We’d just end up fighting, and I don’t want to add to Tatay’s problems." Thinking of Tatay made me cry even more. "Are you really determined to move to Manila, Lyrica?" he asked. "Of course. There are more opportunities in Manila, Marco. Aren’t you planning to work there too after finishing your course?" I wiped my tears away. "Ah, yeah, Lyrica," he replied absentmindedly. "Just don’t leave money at home anymore, Lyrica. Avoid the problem altogether," Marco suggested. I nodded, and we continued our journey. When we arrived outside Krisha’s house, I quickly fixed myself up. "You already look pretty, Lyrica," Marco teased. "Idiot! I’m just checking if my eyes are still puffy," I snapped at him, which made him laugh. "Oh, so the lovebirds are here!" Mildred teased as soon as she saw us. I rolled my eyes at her. It was always like this every time we met up. "That’s why Lyrica keeps r

"I’ll call Ate Jessie. Do you want to talk to her? I’ve mentioned your plans to her before. She told me there might be openings at her office, although that was some time ago. But there are plenty of other companies in Manila, Lyrica," Mildred offered. "Are you sure it’s okay? Won’t your cousin find it bothersome?" I asked hesitantly. "Of course not. Don’t worry about it; Ate is really kind," Mildred assured me. "Great! This way, we’ll have a ninang who’s a Manila girl!" Krisha teased, lightening the mood. "Okay, I suppose it won’t hurt to try," I said, smiling faintly. Mildred dialed her cousin Ate Jessie’s number. The phone rang several times before she answered, her background noisy. "Hello, Mildred? Why are you calling? Is something wrong?" Ate Jessie asked. "Nothing’s wrong, Ate. Are you busy? I just have a quick question," Mildred replied sweetly. "Not really. I’m just hanging out at a bar after work—chilling, you know," her cousin said with a laugh. "What’s your quest

Chapt 6The next morning, I went home to change clothes.“Lyrica? Can we talk?” Dad asked me. I nodded and followed him outside the house.“I'm sorry about last night, Dad. I just really felt upset.”“I understand, child. And I’m sorry too for your siblings. You know how they are,” he said with a sigh.“Yes, Dad. By the way, I might finally push through with leaving.”“Oh... Is that so? Are you sure about your plan?”“Yes, Dad. I’ve been saving up for this for a long time. I can help out more if I work in Manila,” I replied with a smile.“You really take after your mom, Lyrica. I know you won’t let anyone stop you. Just take care of yourself there, okay?”“I will, Dad.”And that was how our conversation ended. It was always the same advice from Dad—to be patient with my siblings or just try to understand them.I left the house and went to the terminal.When I arrived at the store, I got straight to work.“Dear, can I get a bag of onions? Also, two bundles of string beans and water spi

"Take care of yourself, Lyrica. Don't ever forget my reminders," my father said as he hugged me tightly.Today was the day I left for Manila, a five-hour journey from our province."I will, Dad. This is all for our family," I reassured him."Ate, please be careful there, okay? It's probably better that you're leaving. I hate seeing Ate Cynthia picking fights with you. Boyet and I can't do anything because we're too scared of her and Ate," Annika said, her voice trembling."You'll be fine. Just make sure you and Boyet look after our nieces and nephews. Call me right away if there's a problem, alright? Don't hesitate," I said as I ruffled her hair."Of course, Ate."Cynthia and the others weren't home; they had spent the night at Kuya Roy's house. I chose not to tell them about my departure to avoid any drama.It was only three in the morning, and Wren and Marco were accompanying me to the bus terminal. I didn’t ask my father to come because I didn’t want us breaking down in tears at th

"Uh, just ignore those two. Go ahead, put your things in that room, then let's eat," Jessie said, evading my questioning look. I just followed her instructions and stepped out again to join them for dinner."Hey girl, how old are you? You know, you’d be perfect for the place where we work," Misha said."Stupid! Leave Lyrica out of it; she’s pure!" Jessie quickly interjected as she sat at the dining table."Come on, it’s so hard to find jobs here in Manila. She’ll probably end up working there, too. Don’t worry, we’ll take care of her. Don’t act like you didn’t start the same way," Misha teased Jessie.Jessie let out a resigned sigh."Uh, so Lyrica, the truth is, I don’t actually work in an office. I couldn’t get hired by any company here in Manila back then," Jessie began."So I ended up working in a high-end bar, along with these two. No one back in the province knows, so please don’t mention it to Mildred. She’s so nosy," she said, shaking her head."Oh, of course not," I replied wi

My day started early, while Jessie and the others were just getting ready to sleep. I tidied up the apartment, mindful of Jessie’s instructions about what could and couldn’t be moved.After finishing the chores, I got myself ready for my first day of job hunting. I wore my black slacks from college, paired with a purple blouse. I powdered my face lightly and applied a bit of lipstick to add color. Despite it being only seven in the morning, the noise outside was already palpable. I slipped on my black doll shoes, texted my housemates to let them know I was out, and left.I rode a tricycle, holding the list of places I planned to visit. I started with the one closest to the apartment."Good morning, Sir. Is this where the hiring is happening?" I asked the guard stationed outside a tall building."Yes, hija. Are you applying?""Yes, I hope so," I replied with a smile."Alright, come in. Do you see the line of applicants over there?" He pointed to a group seated nearby. I nodded and proc

I didn’t know what to do when Annika called one morning, crying hysterically.“Ate! Ambet was rushed to the hospital! His fever is extremely high, and he had a seizure!” she sobbed, her voice trembling.“Lyrica, give me the phone. I’ll talk to her,” I heard Ate Cynthia say in a panicked tone.“Hello, Lyrica! We’re at the hospital right now. Ambet’s fever is so high. Send us money. We urgently need it for your nephew!” Ate demanded, her voice frantic.I burst into tears. Who could I even borrow money from? I still haven’t found a job.“Alright, Ate… I’ll send some as soon as I borrow from someone here. Please update me on Ambet’s condition,” I replied, my voice breaking.“Make sure to send it immediately. The doctor prescribed medicine, and we don’t have money to buy it,” Ate said before ending the call.I sat there, paralyzed. Jessie might be able to lend me at least a couple of thousand pesos.I waited for Jessie to wake up, but Shiela emerged from the bedroom first.“Oh, what happen

It was almost seven when we arrived at Valiente. The bar's building was stunning, modern in design, and at first glance, you wouldn't think it was a place meant for entertainment."Lyrica, let's head to our makeup room first. Sir Kyros might arrive later," Misha said to me."Hey, Jessie, Misha, who’s your companion? Are you really bringing her inside?" teased the building guard with a grin. He was a big man with muscular arms, which made me cringe and hide behind the two of them."Oh, Andoy! Don’t scare Lyrica like that!" Misha said, laughing."Don’t call me Andoy in front of this lovely lady. You can call me Anderson, Madam Lyrica," he greeted me with a smile."Yuck! Anderson doesn’t suit you, Andoy!" Misha teased."Enough with teasing Andoy, Misha! Lyrica's still shy. Watch over her, okay? She’s just applying as a waitress here," Jessie explained, referring to me."Of course! I’ll take care of Madam Lyrica," Andoy said. I simply smiled and nodded."You look even prettier when you sm
