At Least We Tried

CHAPTER 1: Ayesha Lee's (POV) There are almost 8 billion of people around the globe, but sa iisang tao lang tayo nagiging tanga. Pero sa isang tao lang din naman ang bagsak natin puwera na lamang kung marunong kang magcollect and select. Ayoko na sanang dumagdag eh. But I fell in love again and again to the person who never loved me back (never nga ba?) And what's even worst? HE IS MY STEP BROTHER. Pero ako ang ampon hu . Huwag tayong mag-expect. When I was 15 years old, my dad and mom separated . I'm the only child and I don't know anybody who is related to me neither my mom or my dad. So, I did took a risk. From Cebu, I flew to Manila seeking for life and love. I raised myself . I looked for a job everywhere. I stayed in the street for how many nights, for how many rains, and sunny days. I liked to give up but suddenly someone held my hand and lift me up from the mud. Jessica: Honey, honey wake up. Wake up honey, it's already 7 am. Darating ang kuya mo ngayon. Joseph: Ayesha Lee. (tawag ni daddy sa akin na parang 200 na yata ang volume pero hindi naman galit) Ayesha Lee: Daddy, Mommy.... Inaantok pa po kasi ako. Jessica: Gusto yata nito kilitiin na naman eh'. Nandito na si mommy.. Joseph:At si daddy... At ayun, we laughed together. Everyday ganun lang. Nagkikilitian, nagkakatuwaan, at nagpapalitan ng pagmamahal, the bad side was hindi ko natatanaw kung kailan matatapos lahat Joseph: Get up, susunduin natin kuya mo. Jessica: Sana magkakasundo kayo. Anak, I want you to look after him. I know you're not blood related And there's so much things to happen. But I know that you are at the right age para turuan sya ng mabuting asal. Ayesha : Why mommy? Is he 5 years old, Grade 1 student? Akala ko be he is my kuya? Jessica: Funny honey. Get up, take a bath and pack your things Joseph: We will prepare our breakfast downstairs. Kaya mag-ayos ka na. Mwah. Ayesha: Thank you mommy and daddy. Mwah good morning. Wala pang 5 minutes, nag-ayos na ako. So, before anything else, let me introduce my mommy Jessica Havier and daddy Joseph Havier. I'm with them for almost 10 years. At 25 years old na ako ngayon. Noong una kong araw dito akala ko wala silang anak. Yun pala wala lang dito sa Pilipinas for 15 years. Ang sinasabi nilang hilaw kong kuya na walang manners ( haha sila nagsabi non) ay si Mr. Zk Havier. Pangalan palang nakakilabot na. He was 15 when he left and he's exactly 30 now that he wanted to go back here in the Philippines. At dahil handa na kami, airpoooooooort here we come. Ayesha: Mommy ano bang hitsura ni Mr. Zk? They laughed at me. . Ayesha: Why? Sa totoo lang hindi ko naman talaga siya kilala eh! Jessica: He's so much like you're Dad. Joseph: Pogi. Jessica: No, suplado at antipatiko. Joseph: Pero minahal mo naman diba? Jessica: Yes baby. I love your a*s very much. Ayesha: Naku eto na naman sila oh. . Jessica: Kaya sana makahanap ka na ng one true love mo. Ayesha: At kayo lang yun mommy. Mwah mwah.. Lab na lab ko kayo eh'. Joseph: Here we are ladies . Teka let me open the door. .. Ang gentleman ng Daddy ko mga besh. I'm so lucky to have them both . Pero di pa sure sa hilaw kong kapatid. Jessica: Is he already here? Joseph: I don't know. He isn't calling. I should look for him inside. Maybe he's sick of waiting. Jessica: Sure honey take care.. Ayesha: We are not too late naman mommy ah'. Mukhang on time pa nga tayo. Bakit namn masisick yung kuya ko kuno? Jessica: Honey, he doesn't want to wait. That's why mapapatay talaga tayo pag siya ang pinaghintay natin . Ayesha: Subukan niya lang ma saktan kayo ni daddy ako papatay sa kaniya. Jessica: Really? Ayesha: Of course. I don't want you and daddy to get hurt. Tapos sa sarili niyo pang anak. Jessica: Thank you honey. Napakasuwerte namin sa iyo. I never regretted my decision to have you in our life. I love you so much. Ayesha: I love you too mommy. While nagkasiyahan kami ni mommy may biglang parang balang gala na bumagsak sa mukha ko. Jessica: Zk? Ano ba yan. Bakit mo binabato? Zk: Maid diba? She's responsible for my things. I don't want a lazy one. So don't just stare at me. Get my bags . Now. Dahil, palaban ako. Dahan-dahan kong binababa ang bag niyang maliit na nasa mukha ko and without a doubt ibinato ko to sa mukha niya. Zk: Ouch. What the hell are you doing? Ayesha: Don't me, Mr. Zk. Anyways, I am not your maid , I am their daughter. Sumakay ako sa van at iniwan ko siyang nakatunganga. When we arrived at the house, dumiretso ako sa kuwarto ko pero rinig na rinig ko pa rin ang mga sinasabi ni Mr. Zk antipatiko. Zk: Mommy , nawala lang ako may ipinalit na kayo. And I couldn't believe you just replaced me by that trash woman. Wala na ba talaga kayong magawa sa bahay at sa buhay niyo? Joseph: Stop that Zk. You just arrived here, give this house a little respect. Jessica: Zk, please be good to her. Zk: Please? Good? My God are you stupid? What if she's thief ? She's a member of g**g? What if she's a spy? Hindi ko na talaga natiis at binaba ko na siya. Ayesha: Dami mong sinasabi sir. If you want me to leave here, then I will leave . But s**t you don't have rights to accused me . You don't know me. And also, wala kang karapatang bastusin ang magulang ko. ZK: My parents. My parents b***h. Joseph: Will you please stop. Ayesha honey, just take a rest. We can handle this from here. Jessica: Honey , go back to your room. ZK: And maybe hindi na ako kailangan dito. Ako nalang ang mag aadjust para kay Ayesha honey mo. Total siya naman ang bago mong anak diba? Then he shut the door. First meet palang yon. Naku paano na kaya kung babalik yun dito. Now I understand kung bakit hindi kailan man naikuwento si Zk ni mommy and daddy. Well , I'm sure na mahal nila ito. Bastos lang talaga yon.
