London Ash
It's been 6 years since I left and now that I'm back, it's time for me to get back what I left.
I already talked to my family when I came back and mommy even fainted when she saw me, but to make the story short, okay na ang lahat. They also accepted Brooke.
They even told me how Harper helped them to find me... That they already forgave her, so it's up to me now whether to forgive her na or not. In the first place, sino ba ang nagsabing galit ako?
Paladesisyon din sila e.
I never been mad nor angry to her or to Brielle. Wala naman silang kasalanan. Isa pa, Harper even saved me, so bakit ako magagalit?
Hmm.. tampo lang, I think. Kasi hindi niya agad ako sinabihan at nagdesisyon siyang hiwalayan ako agad, but since I'm marupok, I still love her and gusto kong maging akin siya ulit.
Umalis lang talaga ako dahil gusto ko lang. I want to heal. Fully heal para kapag hinalikan ako ni Miss Harper ay hindi na ako matatakot. Kidding aside. Umalis lang talaga ako para makapag isip at maging okay na bago ko muling kuhanin ang mag-ina ko.
I was so excited to meet her yesterday but it disappeared when I saw how that Miss Carlos flirted with her. I mean... Not totally flirt, pero kinukulit niya yung isa, kaya nainis ako. Hindi ko tuloy siya nakausap ng maayos o nakumusta man lang.
About Brooke, she's not my biological daughter too, like Brielle to my Harper. I met her mother in London where I lived and unfortunately, she also experienced what I experienced before, but the only difference was may nabuo sa kanya while sakin, wala which is I am really thankful.
Due to depression, she died and she left her daughter to me when she was still 1 year old. I adopted her and made her my daughter. Kahit nahihirapan din, pinilit kong magpakatatag for her. Ayaw ko naman siyang iwan sa orphanage.
Sa unang dalawang taon ko sa London, nagpapagaling ako sa tulong ng espesyalista slash psychologist na nakilala ko. She's good that is why mabilis kong naayos ang sarili ko. Though okay naman na ako, nakikipag meet pa rin ako sa kanya pag may time. Pinakilala ko din sa kanya si Bella, Brooke's biological mother, pero hindi niya talaga nakayanan.
I studied education there where I met Mr. Steven Carlos. 1 year din ang nahinto ko ulit bago nagpatuloy sa pag-aaral and luckily, I graduated as summa cum laude.
About the money I spent... Yung mga ipon ko ang ginamit kong pangtustos sa akin sa unang isang taon. Noong umayos na ako ay doon ko ipinagsabay ang work at pag-aaral ko.
Nagtrabaho ako bilang isang cashier at pagkatapos ay sales lady sa isang mall, but when Brooke came to me, kinailangan kong kumita ng mas marami. Sumugal ako and decided na magtayo ng sarili kong business. A restaurant to be specific. Luckily, it became successed with the help of my new friends there.
In just few years, dumami ang mga branches ng restaurant ko. I even have branches na here in Philippines. 4 to be exact. In Pampanga, Bulacan, Quezon City, and Taguig. Hindi ko pa nga lang nabibisita but I'm pretty sure na successful din ang mga ito dahil araw-araw kong chinecheck ang mga sales nito.
Ang sekretarya ko lang ang dumadalaw sa mga ito at never pa din akong nakikita ng mga tauhan ko.
"Loner's Place" is the name of my restaurant. It's funny how many of my customers thought it was for the lonely people's place but in reality, it was a combination of Harper's and my name. LONdon and harpER.
Cringe but I love it.
"Mommy pretty? Where is Brooke by the way?" Mataray na tanong ni Brielle habang nakakandong pa rin sa akin. Ayaw niyang humiwalay.
