Chapter 29

Kathryn’s POV

When I opened my eyes this morning, I kept on thinking if everything was only a dream. I pinched myself a few times and I was sure that it was real. Di pa rin ako makapaniwala. In a snap, my life has changed. I was known as Kathryn Manuel but starting now, I will be Kathryn Chandria Bernardo. I used to live in a simple house but now, I’m living in a palace-like home. I’m living a simple life then, and now, I know that will surely change. Dapat maging handa ako sa lahat ng mangyayari. Alam ko minsan magulo yung buhay nina Dad because of business. Hindi maiiwasan ang mga paninira sa kanya pati na rin sa aming pamilya niya.

*knock knock* I suddenly stood up from my bed when I heard someone knocking on my door. Dali-dali kong binuksan ang pinto at....

“Congratulations and Happy Birthday Kathryn Chandria!” sabay-sabay na sabi nila Mom, Dad, and Lola. Sa sobrang daming nangyari, nakalimutan ko na birthday ko nga pala ngayon. Dad is holding a pink cake with twenty candles.

“Awww. Thank you po sa inyo.” Napakamot ako sa ulo ko. “Nakalimutan ko na birthday ko pala ngayon.”

“Grabe anak. Birthday mo, tapos nakalimutan mo? Haha” natatawang sabi ni Mom.

“Sobrang dami po kasi ng nangyari these past few days eh, kaya ayan kung anu-ano na naiisip ko. Pero thank you po kasi hindi niyo nakalimutan yung birthday ko.”

“It’s nothing Chandria. We’re going to have a double celebration later. We’re going to celebrate your birthday and graduation day. For now, make a wish and i-blow mo muna yung candles mo.” Dad said while getting the cake near me.

I closed my eyes and wished. Syempre hindi ko sasabihin kung ano yung hiniling ko kasi baka hindi magkatotoo di ba? After I blew the candles, nagprepare na kaming lahat para sa graduation ceremony ko.

Yuchengco University Graduation Day

Nandito na kaming lahat nina Bes, Albie, Diego and our families. We’re currently in the middle of the ceremony and I’m still waiting for DJ. Bakit kaya hindi pa siya dumarating? He promised me na pupunta siya. Kanina pa ko tumitingin-tingin sa likod pero wala talaga siya. Time na para sa pag-aaward ng mga students with honors. Up to now, hindi ko pa rin alam kung anong award yung mapupunta sa akin but my professors said that I was one of the candidates who will graduate with honors. Tinawag na lahat ng mga cum laude and magna cum laude. I was checking my phone, baka kasi nagtext si DJ, pero wala talaga. Nakakainis naman siya, dapat di na lang siya nagpromise kung di niya rin tutuparin.
