TWENTY ELLYA We are heading to Tarlac to meet my parents. The envelope had a address to where I should meet them.  The joy that I felt right now is surreal. I am surrounded by my real family or should I say the one who gave me away. I have this feeling that I feel when I see the results. I am thinking that I am not the real daughter of Ezekiel and Anne. The one who adopted me.  My real parents do not own a house. A mansion. You know a movie when you see a mansion. They are technically rich. Rich to the point that they can't find me. My real father has his house inherited to me while my mother Anne disappeared and that's when my father, Ezekiel, marries my aunt and her daughters.  Lim seems to

TWENTY TWOELLYAPauwi na kami ni Limmuel ng maisipan namin na dumaan sa isang fast food. Nakakagutom na makita yung sign board ng mcdo along the NLEX. Anong oras na rin kaya inaya ko na siya. Para sa akin hindi pa malinaw lahat ng pinag usapan dahil masyadong komplikado. Nadala lang ako ng emosyon na makita yung tao sa DNA result na yun pala ang tunay ko na magulang. Akala ko kasama nila si Mama Anne. Yun pala sila lang.  I am sad about that thought pero nung nakausap ko sila kahit papaano. Gumaan na rin pakiramdam ko. Kahit yung pangungulila ko bigla kong naramdaman. Akala ko wala ako nun, sa puso ko pala meron.  "Mahal okay ka lang?" Limmuel asked. I just noticed how Lim

TWENTY FOURLIMMUEL "Yes. I am your boss. The head of the company. The one who brought this company to life." I said it again and she seems so confused about it. “Lim, let's talk about it when we get home.” she said. “ I am also tired from the confrontation of my parents and this one's gonna add up. I need to have the courage to accept this. So let's get back to work.” she added. I know na na bigla ko siya but I have to tell her hindi pwedeng hahayaan ko na lang. Kailangan I have this courage to tell her the truth and nothing more than it. Mahirap pag sa iba pa manggagaling. “Okay mahal.” I said and hugged her. She seems confused but she also hugged me and that's enough for me.

TWENTY SIX ELLYA It's December. It means Miss Universe is around the corner. And now it is happening. I am fascinated about the models and their dreams. Kaya ngayon heto kami nanonood via satellite. Most people are asking paano kayo nanonood ng Miss Universe? Swerte ako kasi na katapat na day off ko ngayon. Kaya sila nasa office nagtatrabaho habang ako nanonood. Tamang chil kasi deserve ko due to stress the last time I saw my step mom and her daughters. I am scared that they will see me. Pero syempre because of my aura.  "Happiness" They ignore me na para ba

TWENTY EIGHT ELLYA Conference Day. Limmuel has a good stamina so here I am wearing a turtleneck and jumper because of my in-between. Sa sobrang lakas ng stamina di ko alam if namamaga ba o hindi yung "part" ko dun sa baba. The conference is starting. Halatang kabado si Limmuel dahil di niya alam if magagalit ba o matatakot ang tao. Lalo ngayon malalaman ng katrabaho at kaibigan namin.  An hour or two hours before the event starts. Hanggang ngayon nag seset up pa rin. Nauna ako kay Lim dahil dumaan pa sa siya sa office ni Ace.  And after the conference. Pagkauwi ay magseset kami ng team dinner to announce that I am engaged.
