Kabanata 1:
Meet Threscia
Threscia Alessandra's Point of View
They said, don't give up on somebody you love. In my case, I really won't give up. No matter how he will avoid me, I will be persistent just to make him mine. True love means that you do not give up when things get heard.
Grant Benjamin M. Yuan, a 4th-year political science student, is the love of my life. I've been admiring him for almost 4 years now and they said, this is not admiration anymore, it's love. Yes, it's love, I love Grant but he's into someone else.
If one day, when my feelings change, just remember that I admired him once. I sighed as I reached a smoothie on the center table. It's Sunday today and we don't have any classes during the weekend.
I took a sip from my smoothie as I'm watching an official music video of Blessed-Curse by ENHYPEN on my iPad. It's their new comeback song and it's totally a hit. I can say that there's no visual hole in each of the members.
I've been a KPOP fangirl since 2017 when Red Velvet introduced me to KPOP. That is when I started idolizing kpop groups, especially BTS. I liked Jungkook in BTS and Jake and Heesung on ENHYPEN.
Watching kpop music videos soothes me. Iba talaga ang nararamdaman ko kapag nanonood ako ng music video nila. Kahit hindi ko maintindihan ay dama ko pa rin ang gustong iparating ng mga kanta nila.
Nilapag ko ang smoothie ko at pinagpatuloy ang panonood sa iPad ko. Patapos na ang pinapanood ko nang may kumatok sa pinto ko. Kapagkuwa'y nagsalita ang babaeng kinaiinisan ko sa lahat.
"Miss Threscia, pinapatawag po kayo ni Madam Minarva," I rolled my eyeballs as she spoke, that's Bethany Macaraig, she's Grant's girlfriend. Hindi ko alam kung ano'ng nakita ni Grant kay Bethany. Isa si Bethany sa mga naninilbihan sa mansion namin.
Bethany is two-faced. Ang galang niya kapag nandito siya sa mansion namin at kapag nasa school ay ang yabang niya, akala niya kung sino.
Minarva is my Mom, Tiaesha Minarva P. Qiao, and my Dad's name is Deacon Alexander C. Qiao. In Chinese, Dad's name is Qiao Guang while me, Qiao Yanmei. I'm half-Chinese because my Mom is a Filipina.
They were both came from a wealthy family and my Zufu, my paternal grandfather isn't against my parents' love. Bukod sa mahal nila ang isa't isa ay galing si Mom sa isang mayaman dito sa Pilipinas kaya natanggap agad siya sa pamilya ng Qiao.
"Coming," tamad kong tugon at narinig ko ang palalayo niyang yabag. Tumayo mula ako sa kinauupuan kong couch at tinungo ang pinto.
Pinihit ko ang door handle para magbukas ito. Lumabas na ako at tinahak na ang daan patungo sa magarbo naming hagdanan. Pagbaba ko ay iginiya ako ni Bethany kung saan ang mga magulang ko.
Nang makarating kami sa living room ay nadatnan ko sila Dad na nagtatawanan habang nag-uusap. Mapatigil sila nang mapansin nila ako.
Aagad ko silang sinalubong ng yakap. Iniwan na rin kami ni Bethany para bigyan ng privacy, dapat lang.
"Pinapatawag ninyo raw po ako?" Walang buhay kong tanong. Napatingin sa akin si Mom at napangiti. Nakasuot ngayon si Mom ng isang silk robe at hindi ko maitatanggi na hindi pa rin kumukupas ang ganda niya.
Tuwing nagsasama nga kaming dalawa ay pinagkakamalan kaming magkapatid. My Mom looks younger than her age, as well as Dad. No wonder, some girls in their age is still fantasizing my Dad.
They maintained their fit too because they worked out in a gym.
"Wala ka namang pupuntahan ngayon, hindi ba?" Tanong niya na ikinatango ko lang. Wala akong balak na lumabas ngayon dahil nakatatamad.
