I was dumbfounded by the big house and all I know is that we were in Tagaytay before we passed by on our way home, but now we are in Mariveles and Navi still drove until now and we slowed down and stopped at the resort."I thought we were going home?" I asked and he smiled, turned off the engine of his car and I sat down."Sorry baby, my Mom wants to see you. Her brothers came home and Mom was proud of you, so she said let's stop by here before our semester break ends." Navi held my hand and I started to get nervous now.I already know Tita, and she is kind and generous, she treats me like her daughter. But I don't know Navi's relatives that well. So I can't help but be nervous, I want to meet them but what if they don't like me."I am nervous baby, maybe your relatives will insult me later. I am not rich," I said and slumped my shoulders. Yes, that is true. My parents own a small grocery store and have three brachs, but not like Navi's parents and clan who are rich and embarrassing t
I watched Navi's car drive away from our house today, it was past six in the evening when we got home from Mariveles and it's only two days before school, I still have to finish some work that I missed at school.When I turned to the gate, I received a hard slap from Mama and she looked at me badly now."You're young, you're overdoing it. I didn't say you should never come home, Mama?" Mama is very angry with me now, they forbade me to go home to my grandmother because she and my grandmother had a fight, and I was out of their trouble with our relative. Because they are kind aunts to me and do not sympathize with me when they are angry and scolding their siblings."You didn't say goodbye that you were leaving, you came home with wounds and tears and then you ran away from me and then I found out that you went home, to your neighbors in the province!" Mama shouted and dragged me into our house."Mom, they didn't treat me badly and then it wasn't with Tita anymore, they welcomed me well
I was doubly nervous when one of my block mates came out who passed what he lacked in the sem, I'm next and will talk to my prof. This is my last conversation. I feel like I will lose the dean's lister because I didn't pass on time.I entered the office and smiled, hugging the folder and my laptop now. Sit in front of it. I have a presentation that needs to be done to make up for what I lacked when I was lost and what I overcame."Good afternoon Sir Homer," I greeted and handed over the folder. He is the youngest prof here, the same age as the prof who got a student pregnant in another course and what I know is that he is chronic in his relationships with his students."Kourtney, I'm not going to swim anymore. I don't know if you'll get back the grades you should have gotten if you passed early. This presentation is useless, I am being honest now." He put the folder on the table. I kept it up, so why is that?"I will present what I have now. Even if the grade I get is not that high, S
"Kourtney, lift your head! Display your face. "Don't hide it!" said the teacher who had instructed me, and we are now at the little stage. I was designed to walk in heels. My foot is hurting, and I've been walking for about an hour. "Your posture, did you do the stretching I suggested before you went to bed?" she said, and I nodded slowly. Drink water while sitting on the little stage. "Does this really have to be done? "I thought I wasn't supposed to wear heels?" I inquired, and she rolled her eyes and showed me what they planned to wear. I need a costume for the sports I play; I used to play volleyball in high school but wasn't taught. I tried out earlier, but when the ball smacked me in the face, I backed up and decided not to force the tryout. "It's difficult; why do they wear heels?" "They wear rubber shoes like this," I grumbled, unable to stop laughing. "Who said you'd be wearing a bikini top and jeans to the coronation?" My brows instantly lifted, causing my eyes to widen
I passed Navi, who was in our living room today; it's Saturday, and I still have competition practice."Kourtney, I have no idea what you're saying. "What did I do to make you angry?" He goes over to me and hands me a present. I continue to ignore it and let him talk word for word.I heated my meal in the microwave oven. Mama is not at home, and Papa is currently attending to something at the bank. So I was home alone, but I had a last-minute rehearsal at school later.I've been ignoring Navi for almost three days because I'm annoyed; I don't want everyone to trick me and make me feel stupid."Why can't you listen to me, Kourtney?" "I really don't understand what you're saying, and I swear I never considered fooling you or changing you," he stated as I gazed at him."Tell me who the heck you are. "Who was driving your car that day?" When I inquired, he took a long breath. He gently touched both of my hands."My cousin stole my car, baby, I left school early and he stole my car while I
"I woke up early, especially when I didn't sleep well." I took the cutlery and began to eat. She is watching me while I eat, and it appears to be changing me.I'm single, I recently broke up with Navi, and I'm changing, and there's no text message from Navi to start my day. Perhaps his Auntie and Margaret are content now. Their strategy worked, and I am no longer in Navi's route."I'm not sure if you're acting okay or what," she replied as she placed the cup on the table. I stopped eating and my tears began to fall; I had been keeping them back for a long time and now they were utterly uncontrollable."I hate you so much, just eat so we can go in early." Because of Navi's numerous promises, I wiped my tears and didn't want to stop. He failed to keep his promises one by one. I am insecure, so if he had known who the lady his aunt was referring to, he would have avoided her. I don't even say it, but I'm envious.What do I have against the woman who is popular within her clan? I am nothi
When I arrived home, my mother was seated in the living room, clutching a bottle of wine. She appeared to be inebriated, and when I went by, she grabbed my hair and forced me to the sofa.Her hand fell on my cheeks, and I feel like they're burning now; I just got back from the shop and paid our employee; their salary is due tomorrow, therefore it's already been placed in the bank."You wuss, you have no idea what you did!" He yelled angrily and slammed the wine bottle. Mama's hair was a tangle as I glanced at her."You have no clue how excruciating it is. You have no clue how much agony and suffering I endured only to be with your Papa. This is what occurred next. He'll stay with Amelie because you encourage him!" Mama kicked me and grabbed my hair again.Mama let me go after I felt dizzy for a bit. He sat in front of me, his head lowered."I despise all of you, and no one understands my anguish." I had no intention of becoming pregnant at the moment. I even considered aborting you, b
"I will be here, don't worry. We will fight together and I will support you on the darkest days of your life. Just let me do it, let me help you baby." I closed my eyes when Navi kissed me on the head and somehow my nervousness and my current thoughts subsided."Don't leave okay, I can't fight without you." I look at him and he smiles. Our foreheads were touching and his eyes were staring into mine, I know that I look tired."I won't leave you, let's finish this first before we talk about our problem baby. For now let's put your Dad first, so you can get out of your mind, okay?" I nodded and sat on the bench inside. Navi did the shopping and gave me water.My phone vibrated and the manager of our store reported to me, I couldn't go to the store because I had to prioritize Dad, I was about to turn off my phone when the manager called me and I answered it."Ma'am, Mrs. Sanjorjo disappeared from the store. The customers are fighting, we can't stop Ma'am because she threatened to fire us
