ISABELLE POV

        Hello guys! I'm Isabelle Reyes but just call me BELZ for short. I'm 26 years old and a graduate of Mass Communication in San Martin State College (but I'm not that smart hehehehe). Currently an assistant photographer of Allen Cruz, he considered himself as one of the most handsome and the best photographer in Manila (rolled eyes). Enough about my boss and more about me. My hobbies are reading books, listening music, watching Korean Dramas (Park Yoochun is my prince charming) and of course, writing wattpad stories (hehehehe). And that's the end of my self-introduction. I thank you (bow)  ^___ ^

        Now, let's go back to the story. After my nanay left my room, I immediately took a bath, choose some clothes ( a simple black shirt and jeans) and worn it . I checked myself at the mirror, making sure no morning glory on my eyes, ponytail tied properly and simple lipstick on my lips, and I went downstairs when I thought I was good to go.

        " Hoy! Pedro stop reading the newspaper and start eating your food" I heard my Nay scolded my Tay Pedro who sat on a chair while my Nay was busy putting foods on the kitchen table. 

        My Tay Pedro folded the paper and smiled at me as I approached them. "Good morning Tay!" I happily greeted, showing my beaming smile, and nag-mano. 

        " Good  morning anak! How was your beauty sleep?" he asked. 

        "Okay naman po" I sat on the table. "I don't think you have enough sleep. Look at those bags under your eyes" he teased and even tried to touch my eyes but I shoved it away. 

        "Tay naman" * pout *

        He just laughed "Ang aking princess is so cute"  Seriously, my Tay treat me like a little girl sometimes. I was about to said something when I saw a plate full of rice was already place in front of me.

         "Pedro tama na yan. Ikaw Isabelle start eating already or you'll be late again sa trabaho mo and your boss will get angry again" my Nay  warned and I saw my Tay pouted which made me smile. By the way, I forgot to introduced my Nay Dolores, ang reyna ng mga Reyes. I nodded and we started to ate the food that my Nay Dolores prepared for us. And she even cooked my favorite breakfast foods - dried fish and scrambled eggs. YUMMY :)

        I took a glance at my parents who were so lovey-dovey with each other. After 30 years of marriage, my Tay still blushed everytime my Nay did something sweet for him. Like now, she served him with foods and he shyly said Thank you to her. Hay! Pag-ibig talaga. I wish my love story would end up just like them. Despite of the challenges we faced, we're still together, united and getting stronger. Wishful thinking.

        "Anak!" I snapped back to reality when I heard Tay called my name.

        "Ano po yun Tay?"

        "Do you need a ride? I can take you to the jeepney stop before I go to work" he offered. To make ends meet, my Tay Pedro worked as a pedicab driver and drove around at our barangay. A lot of people knew him, not because of his work, it's because he had a friendly, caring and helpful nature that made a person felt comfortable everytime he's around.
