Promise Unkept

Prologue

"Mahirap, Mayaman Tandem"? Oo corny, baduy pakinggan, pero kaya bang magwork ng isang hindi bagay na salita?

Ako si Samantha Atienza, Sammie for short. I can say na mahirap lang ako, without my privileges, and I can't also depend on my parent's fortune. I have my own and they have their own. Well, I guess they had. They died because of a business misunderstanding, they fought but didn't make it. May pinamana naman sila kahit papaano, but I didn't used it for myself or for my happiness. Binayad ko ang pinamana nila saakin sa lahat ng utang nila, dahil kung hindi ko gagawin yun for sure they'll hunt me down. The rest of my money, including my 'ipon' ay pinangbayad ko sa kinuha kong apartment sa Manila. I know it's such a disgrace kung ni-let go ko yung buhay mayaman ko sa Isabela but I had to, ayoko dun, full of horror, terrifying and bloods because of my parent's deadly memory. I only finished High School sa isang private school sa Isabela and had to go to Manila for college. I got a scholarship from the most famous school sa Manila. I was lonely, no friends, just a typical nerd who's determined to finish her study. Although, I'm also like other girls, I also like someone who can't liked me back.

Wait, here he comes. Yang naglalakad na yan? Hot guy wearing a polo shirt, and a black slacks...

Siya si Xavier Justin Sanchez, pogi, matalino, mayaman, halos lahat nasa kaniya na, a perfect ideal boyfriend kumbaga. Kaso suplado. Lahat ng kaharap niya puro libro, he was never seen with girls, except for his sister Xyrille Jet. Siguro ay takot sa issue... Pero hindi ih. May lumalapit naman sakaniyang girls, Yes girls ang nanliligaw sakaniya, pero always busted, always rejected, always NO! Walang nakakaalam kung may girlfriend siya or does he had a girlfriend before? Walang may alam kahit isa. Dahil ang lagi niya lang kasama, his friends: Jack, Ryzen, and Calix.

Sa sobrang sikat niya imposibleng mapansin niya ko, imposibleng icrushback ng isang Xavier Sanchez. Isa lamang akong hangin para sakaniya, at siya? Mananatiling pantasiya at pangarap nalang sakin katulad ng ibang babae. Sana nga ay libro nalang ako para kahit minsan man lang ay hanapin niya ko o tingnan niya ko, at ang laman ng bawat pahina ko ay tungkol sakaniya at ang pagkagusto ko sakaniya.
