CHAPTER 1:

"Mom! Dad! We are going to eat. Come here. Dad! Your plants there may be fine with you and Mom, let's leave our store first, no one will enter that." I called my mom and dad busy with what they are doing.

I had just finished cooking so I called them because we were going to eat, and after dinner I will be going to our store while my mom and dad should take a rest first.

Our life is very simple. What a relief it really is. Especially the hardships of today's life, when you are poor, you do not know where you are going to make money.

So I was more interested in my studies.

Rice harvesting and vegetable growing on our farm and small shop is where my family earns money .

Dad had to wake up early to get his farm equipment ready. Mom was the one who kept the store when I wasn't there because of my sideline work.

Meanwhile, my father still works in the fields. Even though we stopped dad from his job, he always said he was tired when he was home so we just let him go sometimes. We can't do anything about it.

Sometimes I line up in the laundry and shop at the cafe to earn money.

At least I make some money while on vacation. It's only been a week and it's back. That's all I need to remember at the entrance.

I don't have any supplies yet. But I still have one thousand pesos in my wallet so that's what I'm going to use.

I gave my mom and dad my full salary of ten thousand pesos even if they didn't want to accept it. It's just as if we were going to spend those. I also bought a lot of these one thousand pesos tips ago when I sold Nanny Diane's cake.

I didn't even have to worry about my school uniform and food because of the news that I had free breakfast and lunch as well as uniforms for full scholarships and we thank God for being one of the lucky ones to get a full scholarship to Costeva University or CU.

It is a popular and prestigious school in our area and it is also rumored to be owned by the richest businessmen here in our area even when it was young.

"Oh, CJ kid, you gave me so much money that I probably think that you didn't have the money to buy what you were going to use in your studies," she said. I didn't notice that my mom is already here and while I fell into deep thought.

My mom called me CJ because my full name was Carelle Jaurene Calixto

CJ or at least Carelle is the one I always want to call me for those who know me, perhaps. I'm not used to be called Jaurene because it sounds like a rich and brat woman for me. They thought I am rich and powerful lady because of that name 'Jaurene'.

I'm just laughing at my thoughts right now.

Too much drama. Cringe.

"What are you doing? It's not over yet, we're just getting to the point that I'm going to be successful, I'm going to buy you a mansion and live with luxury. Then don't worry too much, I still have money, " Mom smiled at what I said.

"My most beautiful child, oh, you're going to make your daddy see us. But I'm still going to give you too much money just in case you lose it or if you have something to buy. it took me a while to really help you. " I laughed at what Mom said.

"Mom, you're going to tear me apart. I'm your only child so of course, I'm the most beautiful. Thanks to this money, I'll just give it back when I'm not used to it." We both laughed.

It's really good to feel that you are feeling the joy and love of your parents. Heart fat, because it's cholesterol. Lol.

"It's eleven o'clock, so be ready to eat. Then you can buy your own school supplies. It's better to get up early. Oh, let's eat first."

"All right, I'll just take care of my bed. Thank you again, mom." Mom hugged and kissed me on the forehead before she went to see daddy smiling as he looked us from the kitchen.

It wasn't because our house was so big that from here in the living room the kitchen was spot on. Then the living room is immediately open and only the curtains can be divided here.

After I made my bed, I went to the kitchen. We ate delicious dried eggs and eggs together. Just dried and eggs, we solved already.

"Daughter, I heard there's a dorm in your school that you don't want to have in the dorm? You're a full-time scholar there, aren't you? So you don't travel far," Dad said as we ate.

Of course, there is a free dorm for full scholarships and students who hold large shares in the school and it is not compulsory for the student dormitory to be dormant, so it is up to them to decide whether or not to dorm .

I thought the trip to KDCU was really a long way off. From here to CU, you have to ride two bus. When the bus was getting to the intersection, I had to ride another bus. But since I have a big bike, it's not too difficult for me but that's it, CU is very far from our place.

"It's okay and you remind me, dad. I still like the dorm but it doesn't matter. I can handle the trip," I stopped eating and turned my attention away while my mom is about to cry already.

"CJ, you don't need to worry about us anymore. So, we don't want you to find it difficult to get in. Sorry if we didn't give you a good life that you deserve." Mom held my hand on the table.

"But, I don't want to leave you here. I'm just so sad when I'm away from you. Then I have no excuse for living a life of luxury alone, just with you." I stood up and then slowly came to Mom and then hugged her tightly. And they look like monkeys that hang around their necks.

"Oh, daughter, don't you think we're kicking you out. All we want is for you to be better. We're sure the university owner won't let you down. It'll be hard for you to get out of the dorm. Please, CJ daughter, "Mom said.

I understand that, if I don't go for the dorm, I will have a hard time. It will take me some time to get trampled. Whenever possible, my legs can even hurt.

"It's alright and dad, even though I felt a pang on my chest, I'm going to dorm, but maybe I'll leave tomorrow perhaps, because the start of classes is very soon." My mom told me to sat down and told me to eat first and then talk about things later. I don't even have to worry about heavy things in the chest especially since I don't have anything like that.

But in reality, while your loved ones are still there, cherish them and feel the love that you have because it may be too late before you realize your mistakes or you may just regret it. You still haven't even given your heart the chance to make them feel the love you have.

Oh, drama again.
