A young American girl follows her heart to Ireland where she discovers deeply hidden and unique connections to the island that she had never dreamed of. Upon arriving in Ireland to study, Erin feels something awaken in her she never imagined could be real.

Irish adalah gadis keturunan asli Indonesia tepatnya gadis keturunan Bali. Irish memiliki kakek berdarah Belanda, itulah mengapa ia memiliki bola mata yang berwarna abu-abu seperti papanya. Irish berumur dua puluh Pat tahun, rambutnya berwarna hitam pekat namun kini setelah di warnai, Irish melekat dengan rambut pirangnya. 

  Irish adalah anak orang terkaya no lima se-Indonesia. Irish adalah anak yang selalu diawasi papanya sedari kecil hingga dewasa, ia bahkan harus mengikuti home schooling untuk mendapatkan ijazah, karena Papanya tidak mengijinkan Irish bersekolah di sekolah umum. 

 Namun setelah masuk universitas. Irish dikirim ke Scotlandia untuk melanjutkan pendidikannya di jurusan, Bisnis management. Dan di sanalah Irish mengenal kehidupan bebas. Irish mulai mengenal dunia malam dan juga mulai terbiasa dengan rokok. Irish sebenarnya merasa kesepian pada saat itu, itulah mengapa ia melampiaskan segalanya dengan berpesta sepanjang malam dan minum bersama teman-temannya setiap hari. 

  Sampai suatu hari, Irish bertemu dengan Ricky. Pria asal Indonesia yang ibunya berasal dari Scotlandia. Karena sama-sama berasal dari Indonesia, Irish lantas langsung bisa merasa nyaman dengan Ricky.

  Irish mulai katun cinta dengan setiap perlakuan Ricky terhadapnya, padahal sebenarnya saat itu Ricky hanya sedang mencoba untuk memoroti harta Irish. 

  Cinta Irish buta. Ia tidak bisa membedakan mana yang tulus dan mana yang tidak. Apalagi Ricky memperlakukannya seperti ratu. Ricky selalu memberikan Irish kejutan-kejutan yang membuatnya merasa sangat tersanjung. 

 Singkat cerita, mereka mulai terbiasa bersama. Dan hubungan mereka tercium oleh Antonio. Antonio menyuruh orang-orangnya untuk mencari tau tentang Ricky. 

 Dan dari hasil intaian anak buah Antonio. Ia mendapat tau bahwa Ricky sering terlihat menemui wanita lain dengan uang yang diberikan oleh Irish. Ia bahkan tidur dan bermalam dengan wanita-wanita itu tanpa sepengetahuan Irish.

  Antonio sudah mencoba untuk memberitahu Irish mengenai sifat asli Ricky. Namun karena terlalu mengelu-elukan pria itu, Irish tidak pernah percaya dengan kata-kata Papanya. Dna berfikir Papanya membenci Ricky, karena Ricky bukan terlahir dari keluarga kaya.

  Karena kesal, Antonio bersikeras memindahkan Irish kembali ke Indonesia. Irish sempat menolak dan bertengkar hebat dengan Antonio. Namun sepertinya Irish tidak akan pernah menang melawan Papanya, akhirnya Irish kembali ke Indonesia.

  Setelah enam bulan di Indonesia, Irish tidak berhubungan sama sekali dengan Ricky. Hidup Irish terasa sangat hampa saat itu. Ia bahkan tidak berselera untuk makan ataupun minum. Irish semakin membenci papanya dan tidak ingin bicara sama sekali dengan papanya. Irish setiap malam pergi ke club malam untuk menghibur diri.

  Sampai suatu hari Ricky yang sidang kehabisan uang memutuskan untuk menemui Irish setelah beberapa lama tidak terdengar kabarnya. 

  Ricky mengatakan bahwa ia sangat mencintai Irish. Mengelabui Irish dengan jutaan kata cinta dan kata sayang yang membutakan. 

 Irish terperdaya hingga hari itu menyerahkan sepenuhnya kesuciannya kepada Ricky. Tentu saja Ricky bisa dikatakan menang banyak, tidak hanya uang ia bahkan mendapatkan kesucian wanita cantik seperti Irish.

  Seminggu tinggal di hotel bersama Irish. Akhirnya Ricky berhasil membujuk Irish untuk memberikannya sejumlah uang. Dan hati itu juga saat Irish sedang berada di luar hotel, Ricky membawa seorang wanita masuk kedalam kamar hotel tanpa sepengetahuan Irish.

  Dan tak berapa lama Irish tepaksa kembali ke kamar hotel untuk mengambil ponselnya yang tertinggal. Dan di sanalah semuanya terbongkar, Irish melihat dengan mata kepalanya sendiri Ricky sedang bercinta di atas ranjangnya dengan seorang wanita murahan. 

  Irish marah besar, hatinya hancur berkeping-keping. Pikirannya buyar dan ia sempat adu mulut dengan Ricky. Sampai akhirnya Irish menyuruh satpam untuk mengusir Ricky. 

  Tidak hanya mengusir Ricky dari kamarnya, Irish saat itu juga berusaha mengusir Ricky dari dalam hatinya.

  Ricky meninggalkan Indonesia dan semenjak hari itu Irish merasa sangat terpuruk dan sadar bahwa dirinya sudah sangat dibodohi hanya dengan kata cinta. 

   "Tidak perduli seberapa pintar otakmu, karena saat kau jatuh cinta. Kau tidak akan lagi memakai otakmu sama sekali."

 Pepatah inilah yang cocok mengambarkan Irish. Wanita yang terlahir pintar dan kaya raya itu bisa ditipu oleh seorang laki-laki hanya dengan bermodalkan kata-kata cinta dari mulut manisnya.

  Dua minggu kemudian. 

  Belakangan Irish merasakan mual seakan ingin muntah setiap paginya. Bahkan ia sudah terlambat tiga minggu dari jadwal datang bulan yang seharusnya. Irish yang khawatir akhirnya memberanikan diri untuk mengecek urinenya. Dan ia mendapati dua garis merah di hasil ujian kehamilan yang ia beli. 

  Irish sempat kaget dan terkejut. Ia bahkan langsung menangis tersedu-sedu setelah mengetahui bahwa ia sedang hamil dan mengandung anak dari laki-laki bajingan itu.

 Tapi di dalam hatinya Irish sempat berjanji untuk mempertahankan janinnya. Irish menginginkan bayi itu untuk menjadi temannya kelak. 

  "Tidak apa-apa jika dia tidak mencintaiku, tapi janin ini adalah buah cintaku. Sudah seharusnya aku menjaga janin ini dan membuatnya tumbuh besar dengan baik." Irish menatap cermin sambil menitihkan air matanya.

  "Tapi bagaimana dengan Papa!" 

 Seketika keberanian Irish untuk mempertahankan Janinnya berubah ciut dan Irish sedikit ragu tentang papanya. Irish tau benar Papanya akan sangat kecewa dan marah jika tau bahwa Irish hamil diluar nikah. Apalagi pria itu adalah Ricky.

 Sore itu dengan perasan kalut dan pikiran yang berantakan. Irish memutuskan untuk menenangkan diri di klub malam.  Dan di sanalah ia bertemu dengan Jonathan.

  Pertemuan yang tidak di sengaja antara dirinya dan Jonathan kala itu membuat Irish memikirkan sebuah ide untuk menyelamatkan harga dirinya.

  Irish memandangi Jonathan dari kejauhan dan berniat menggoda pria itu. Namun belum lagi menggodanya, Jonathan sudah terlebih dahulu jatuh pingsan dihadapan Irish. 

  Di situlah awal mula Irish mendapatkan pemikiran untuk menjebak Jonathan. Irish berniat membuat Jonatan bertanggung jawab atas janin yang ada di perutnya. Saat itu Irish tidak tau bahwa Jonathan sudah memiliki istri. Dan walau sempat mendengar Jonathan menyebut nama Shella, Irish berfikir Shella hanya teman mesra atau kekasih Jonathan.

  Kebetulan saat itu Jonatan tidak memakai cincin karena ia meninggalkan cincinnya di kantor.

  Irish meminta bantuan beberapa pelayan laki-laki untuk membuka baju Jonathan. Dan Irish memberikan cap lipstik di sekujur tubuhnya untuk meninggalkan kesan. Ia benar-benar melakukannya dengan pemikiran yang matang.

  Tapi semua rencana itu gagal, saat dimana Jonathan mengatakan bahwa ia punya istri. Sontak Irish merasa apa yang ia lakukan bukanlah suatu yang benar. Irish memutuskan untuk mengakhiri sandiwaranya.

 Namun semuanya sudah terlanjur rumit. Jonatan sudah dirundung rasa bersalah terhadap dirinya. Dan bahkan hari ini, Jonathan berfikir Irish sedang mengandung anaknya. Segalanya semakin rumit dan tak bisa dikendalikan oleh Irish.

Bagaimana jika kamu di pertemukan lagi dengan cinta pertama mu, yang pernah dan masih menjadi cinta di dalam hati mu ? .

 Suatu hari saat masih di bangku SMA terjadi sebuah kesalah pahaman antara Shella dan Jonathan, hal tersebut membuat kepercayaan Shella kepada seseorang kembali buruk. Shella akhirnya memutuskan untuk meninggalkan Indonesia dan menyusul kedua orang tuanya di London. 

 
 Lima tahun berlalu, awalnya Shella berfikir dia sudah bisa melupakan Jonathan, dan bahkan Shella sudah berani membuka hatinya untuk pria lain yang bernama Franklin. Shella dengan berani akhirnya
memutuskan kembali ke Indonesia dan membuka sebuah perusahaan atas nama dirinya sendiri. Tapi takdir membawanya kembali bertemu dengan Jonathan.

Jonathan kembali menjadi pengganggu di hati Shella, Shella mulai ragu dengan cintanya kepada Franklin. 

Shella kembali di uji setelah Franklin ternyata menyimpan rahasia yang membuat hatinya hancur, di saat bersamaan Shella harus menerima kabar bahwa Papanya melakukan korupsi.


Kira-kira mampukah Shella menemukan cinta sejati nya ?
 Dan mampukah Shella menyelesaikan semua konflik yang datang bertubi-tubi di hidup nya ? 
 
 Mau tau kelanjutannya....???

" Mahal kita..mahal na mahal at ikaw lang ang babaeng..mamahalin ko habang buhay pangako.... → JACK IRISH DEMONIC

****
Irish meletakkan tubuhnya dengan mambayangkan hal konyol terjadi di sekolah barunya yang membuat badmood seharian. Ya, sampai dia lupa kalau meninggalkan Claudia yang mau nebeng dan entah gimana Claudia pulang.

Terbesit dipikiran Irish tentang beberapa cowok yang mendapatkan hukuman tadi, entah kenapa disekolah elite seperti itu masih ada murid yang tidak taat peraturan.

Tanpa sadar teriakan mamanya membuyarkan apa yang di pikirkan 

"Irish... Makan siang dulu, jangan langsung tidur"

"Iyaa maaa..."

"Gimana sekolahnya tadi? Seru ga?"

"Seru ma, sampai Irish dibuat badmood"

"Lha memangnya kenapa?" mama Irish keheranan hingga menghentikan aktivitas makannya

"Ma... Jangan ditanya lagi, Irish udah badmood" gerutu Irish dan dibalas dengan senyuman oleh mamanya

Selesai makan Irosh kembali pergi ke kamarnya, untuk menghilangkan rasa jenuh Irish membaca novel yang belum selesai dibacanya.

****
Megan yang baru sampai di rumah dan disambut oleh Bi Minah asisten rumah tangga di keluarganya. Megan langsung menuju kamarnya karena tak menjumpai orang tuanya yang selalu sibuk bekerja.

Setelah sampai kamar Megan langsung mandi dan memakai baju santainya celana jeans pendek dan kaos abu-abu, kemudian dia langsung ke dapur mencari makanan.

Dengan beberapa cemilan dimeja tengah sambil melihat TV, Megan mulai membayangkan wajah Irish yang menurutnya lucu. Megan juga baru menyadari ada gadis imut dan cantik, tapi ga sok kecantikan biasanya cewek cantik itu memang sok kecantikan itulah yang ada dipikiran Megan. Megan mulai senyum-senyim sendiri dengan mengunyah cemilannya itu, TV yang menyala hanya sebagai pelengkap dia melamun.

Entah kenapa Megan tertarik dengan gadis itu, yang di sekolah Megan mencuri-curi pandang. Serasa ada yang spesial yang ada didiri gadis itu.


****

Malam semakin larut Irish mulai beranjak tidur dan meletakkan buku novelnya diatas nakas. Dia tak ingin sampai terlambat kesekolah esok hari dan berdoa dalam hati agar esok di sekolah menyenangkan.

****

Sang surya mulai menampakkan cahayanya dan menerobos masuk jendela kamar Irish. Irish mulai membuka matanya dan mengerjapkan beberapa kali agar terbiasa dengab masukknya cahaya matahari. Dia bergegas mandi dan memakai seragam putih abu-abunya, Irish berasa seperti anak Sekolah Menengah beneran karena namanya anak Sekolah Menengah ga afdol kalau ga pakai seragam putih abu-abu.

"Irish, saralan dulu sayang", panggil mamanya

"Iyaaa maaa...", sambil turun dari tangga Irish sedikit berlari
"Mama ga ke toko?" tanya Irish sambil mengoleskan selai coklat ke rotinya

"Ini mau berangkat, mama banyak pesenan", sambil mengelus ujung rambut Irish

Irish hanya mengangguk paham. Selelasi makan Irish langsung pergi sekolah, jaran sekolah rumahnya memakan waktu 15 menit.



****

Sesmapai di sekolah Irish memakirkan motor maticnya. Irish mulai mencari keberadaan teman-temannya yang tak nampak dari tadi, kemudian dia memutuskan untuk ke kelas saja.

Beberapa menit kemudian Arin dan Claudia datang dengan sedikit cemberut melihat Irish, Irish hanya tersenyum tanpa dosa.

"Thanks lho ya Rish, lo kemarin ninggal gue" icap Claudia sambil berkacak pinggang

"Hehehehe, sorry ya? Ntar gue traktir deh sebagai permohonan maaf gue", rayu Iriah dengan puppy eyes nya.

Claudia hanya menggelengkan kepala sambil berlalu pergi ke kelasnya, karena dia sudah terbiasa dengan kelakuan Irish yang sering lupa meninggalkan dia saat pulang.

Jadwal pelajaran sudah ditetapkan oleh wali kelas Bu Aris, guru yang berparas cantik dan kalem. Dan saat itu juga Bu Aris membagi tugas untuk pengurus kelas XI TKJ 1.

Taj terasa bel istrahat berbunyi, Irish dan Arin bergegas pergi ke kantin yang memang sudah di tunggu oleh Dina dan Claudia.

Tiba-tiba

Penasaran? Yuk follow dan kasih komentar kalian yaa??-

Kadang tak sadar kalau ucapan adalah doa. 
Dan tanpa kita sadar bahwa cinta muncul karena terbiasa.

Yaa... itulah yang dialami Irish.
Saat bertemu Megan hidupnya mulai jungkir balik.

Hindi lahat subalit may ilan na mula sa probinsya ay lumilipat ng tirahan sa lungsod upang humanap ng magandang kapalaran o ng trabaho sa ikauunlad ng kanllang pamilya.

Ang pamilya ng mag-asawang mang Pepito at aling Yolanda ay nagpunta ng Maynila upang magbakasakali na makakita ng magandang hanapbuhay na magbibigay sa kanila ng magandang kinabukasan.  Subalit imbis na maging maligaya ay sinubok sila ng kapalaran hanggang maging miserable ang kanilang pagsasama bilang isang pamilya.

Kasama nila ang nag-iisang anak na si Irish na anim na taong gulang. Ang asawa ni aling Yolanda na si mang Pepito ay iniwanan ang asawa at anak dahil natukso siya ng ibang babae sa kabila ng kanilang dinaranas na paghihirap sa buhay at sana katuwang ni aling Yolanda sa pagpapalaki sa kanilang anak.

Kaya ang pangyayari na iniwanan ni mang Pepito ang mag-ina ay labis na nagbigay ng lungkot kay aling Yolanda at sa anak nitong si Irish.

"Inay, bakit tayo iniwanan ni itay? Ano ang nagawa nating kasalanan kay itay?" ang tanong ng musmos na si Irish sa ina.

"Anak, mahal tayo ng itay mo..babalik din siya..hintayin natin siya ha?" ang pagkakailang sinabi ni aling Yolanda sa anak upang alawin ito subalit sa isipan ni aling Yolanda ay walang katiyakan ang pagbabalik ng kanyang asawa.

"Opo inay alam ko babalik din si itay kasi po love niya ako at love ko rin siya" ang masayang tugon ni Irish.

Hindi magawang imulat ni aling Yolanda sa anak ang totoong kalagayan nila dahil gusto niyang lumaki si Irish na may magandang pananaw sa buhay habang lumalaki ito.

"Anak, maaga tayong matulog ngayon dahil bukas maaga tayong mangangalakal (pangangalakal ang tawag sa pamumulot ng plastic at bote sa mga basurahan at ibebenta sa mga 'junk shop').

"Opo inay"

Paglalabada at pangangalakal o pamumulot ng mga plastic at bote sa basurahan ang ikinabubuhay ni aling Yolanda. Bitbit ang isang basyo ng sako na lagayan..akay akay ang paslit na si Irish.

Tanghali na ay kakaunti pa ang kanilang napupulot na plastic at bote..at nakaramdam na si Irish ng gutom.

"Inay, gutom na po ako" ang daing ni Irish sa ina.

"Sige dalhin na natin itong mga napulot natin sa junk shop para makabili tayo ng pagkain" ang tugon ni aling Yolanda.

Sa junk shop.

"Eto po ang bayad" sabi ng may-ari ng junk shop.."bakit po kakaunti ang dala ninyong mga plastic at bote?" tanong ng may-ari ng junk shop.

"Oo nga po kasi nauunahan kami ng ibang mga namumulot" ang naitugon na lamang ni aling Yolanda.

"Tayo na anak bili na tayo ng pagkain" ang yaya ni aling Yolanda.

Sa karinderya.

"Anak, ang mamahal pala ng pagkain dito kulang ang pera natin" ang sabi ni aling Yolanda matapos tanungin ang nagtitinda.

Dahil kulang ang pera nila ay tinapay na lang ang kanilang nabili.

"Inay, hati po tayo kasi alam ko gutom na rin po kayo" ang alok ni Irish sa ina.

"Sige anak ikaw na lang ang kumain..hindi pa ako nagugutom" ang tugon ni aling Yolanda bagamat nararamdaman niya na kumakalam ang kanyang sikmura.

Habang kumakain si irish ay pinagmamasdan siya ni aling Yolanda at nasabi sa sarili.."Ang kaawaawa kong anak..papaano ko kaya maibibigay sa kanya ang kaligayahan na tulad ng sa ibang bata?..masaya sila sa piling ng kanilang magulang..mga anak na masasarap ang kinakain..mga anak na pumapasok sa iskwelahan at nag-aaral..mga anak na masasaya habang namamasyal sila kasama ang kanilang tatay at nanay.

Totoong nakalulungkot ang naging kalagayan ng mag-inang Yolanda at Irish isipin pa ang katotohanan na iniwanan sila ni mang Pepito.

"Tapos ka ng kumain anak?" tanong ni aling Yolanda kay Irish habang pinapahid ang mga luhang tumulo sa pisngi niya,

Hindi kaagad nakasagot si irish dahil pinagmamasdan ang ina habang nagpapahid ng kanyang luha.

"Inay..huwag ka na pong malungkot paglaki ko aalagaan kita" ang sinabi ni Irish para maaliw ang ina.

"Naku ang batang ito..tayo na nga at mamulot na uli tayo" ang nasisiyahang wika ng ina kay Irish.

Habang lumalakad ang mag-ina..sa isipan ni aling Yolanda ay inaasam na sana marami silang mapulot na plastic at bote.

Mukhang natupad ang inaasam ni aling Yolanda dahil isang truck na puno ng basura ang dumating sa tambakan. Suwerte din dahil kakaunti lang ang namumulot.

Nagtakbuhan ang mga namumulot upang salubungin ang truck ng basura ng sumigaw ang driver nito.

"Teka muna!! huwag kayong masyadong lumapit baka kayo maurungan ng truck" ang malakas na boses ng driver.

Kaya sa araw na iyon na sinuwerte ang pamumulot nila ng plastic at bote ..na halos mapuno ang sakong dala nila ay natutuwang sinabi ni aling Yolanda kay Irish na ipapasyal ito.

"Irish anak, bukas hindi tayo mangangalakal dahil ipapasyal kita" ang masayang sabi ni aling Yolanda kay Irish dahil matagal na ring hindi nagawang ipasyal ni aling Yolanda ang anak mula ng iwanan sila ni mang Pepito at ito na ang pagkakataon upang makalasap ang anak ng kahit man lang ng kaunting ligaya sa kanyang kamusmusan.

"Talaga po inay? yeheyy!! ang bait bait talaga ng inay ko..salamat inay love na love kita po" ang sinabi sa ina ng natutuwang si Irish.

Sa sinabi ng anak ay iyon ang nagpapaligaya kay aling Yolanda kahit wala pang alam si Irish sa takbo ng kanilang buhay. Makikita sa bata ang kamusmusan nito.

"Inay sasakay po ako sa kabayo na umiikot..sa car..at sa tren trenan ho?" ang tuwang tuwang sabi sa ina.

"Oo anak" sagot ni aling Yolanda.

Kinabukasan sa carvanal ay tuwang tuwa si Irish habang namamasyal.

"Inay dito po..dito po tayo" ang yaya sa ina na hawak ang ina sa kamay ng makita ni Irish ang carrousel.

Habang nakasakay si Irish sa kabayo at ilang beses sa pagikot ay walang pagsidlan ang bata sa katuwaan...katuwaang pangsamantala lamang upang makalimutan ang kalungkutan ng kanilang buhay.

Nang natapos na si Irish at nagpatuloy sa pamamasyal ay 'di sinasadya na nakita ni Irish ang ama at bigla itong tumakbo sa ama. 

Pagkalapit ay humawak ito sa kamay ng ama.

"Itay!..itay!" ang sigaw ni Irish.

Subalit inalis ni mang Pepito ang kamay ni Irish.

Napansin ito ng Kasama niyang babae.

"Love sino siya?" ang tanong nito kay mang Pepito.

Hindi kaagad nakasagot si mang Pepito dahil sa damdamin at puso niya mahal niya ang anak subalit dahil sa sitwasyon niya ngayon ay kinakailangan niyang ipagkaila ito.

"Ewan ko love baka napagkamalan lang ako..kawawa naman..tayo na" at mabilis na silang umalis.

Inabutan ni aling Yolanda ang bata at kitang kita niya ang ginawa ng ama nito ng alisin ang pagkakakapit sa kamay nito.

Nakita rin niya ang kasamang babae.

"Kung sa kanya ka maligaya ay wala akong magagawa subalit wala akong galit sa iyo dahil ama ka ng aking anak at kung maisipan mong bumalik sa amin ng anak mo ay yayakapin ka namin ng mahigpit" ang nasabi na lang ni aling Yolanda sa sarili at naluha siya.

Si Irish na umiiyak paglapit ng ina ay yumakap dito.

"Inay, bakit hindi ako kilala ni itay? Hindi ba niya ako love? Para sasabihin ko lang naman sa kanya na love ko siya eh" sabi ni Irish na patuloy sa pag-iyak.."bakit po inay galit ba siya sa akin?"

Mga tanong ni Irish sa ina dahil hindi pa abot ng isip niya ang totoong nangyayari sa kanilang buhay. Para siyang isang dahon na nakalutang sa tubig sa ilog na inaanod upang dalhin sa kung saan.

Hindi kaagad nakasagot si aling Yolanda dahil nagsisikip pa ang kanyang dibdib sa pangyayari.

At ng medyo maayos na ang pakiramdam niya ay saka kinausap ang anak.

"Tahan na anak..bayaan mo may awa sa atin ang Diyos hindi Niya tayo pababayaan" ang nasabi na lang ni aling Yolanda sa anak.

Hindi na itinuloy ng mag-ina ang pamamasyal. Umuwi silang malungkot at pagdating sa bahay ay niyakap ang anak at nawika niya sa sarili.."Ang kaawaawa kong anak" at muling pumatak ang mga luha sa mata ni aling Yolanda..luha ng kalungkutan at sama ng loob sa kanilang nararanasan.

Si Irish sa edad na anim na taon ay halatang matalino kaya natutuwa sa kanya si aling Yolanda. At dahil sa pagmamahal niya sa anak ay nasasabi niya sa sarili na mawala na ang lahat huwag lang ang pinakamamahal niyang si Irish.

Isang gabi na natutulog ang mag-ina ay naramdaman ni aling Yolanda na wala si Irish sa tabi niya kaya hinanap niya ito at nakita sa kabilang kwarto na nakaluhod at dinig na dinig niya ang sinasabi ng anak.

"...ingatan mo po si itay ko..kahit iniwanan niya kami ni inay ay love ko pa rin po siya..sana po bumalik na siya sa amin para maging masaya kami at para po may katulong si inay kasi po hirap na hirap na siya..ingatan mo rin po si inay ko..kung kasama po namin si itay ay hindi na po kami magpupunta ng basurahan para lang po may pambili ng pagkain..salamat po".

Nang marinig ni aling Yolanda ang prayer ng anak ay napaluha na lang habang pinagmamasdan ang nakaluhod na si Irish na sabik na makapiling ang ama nito.

Sa edad ni Irish..edad ng isang musmos na bata na naghahanap ng yakap ng isang ama..kalinga ng isang ama..ay mababakas pa rin ang kawalang malay nito sa nangyayari sa kanilang buhay.

Subalit hanggang kailan maghahanap ang bata..hanggang kailan niya pananabikan ang ama nito..hanggang kailan kaya siya aasa sa isang bagay na panahon lamang ang makasasagot.

Pagkalipas ng isang linggo ay biglang dumating ang may-ari ng bahay na inuupahan nila at sila ay pinaaalis na dahil matagal na silang hindi nakababayad ng upa.

"Hoy!! Yolanda nasira ka na naman sa pangako mo. Anong buwan na ngayon? Hanggang puro pangako ka na lang" ang may katigasang wika ng may-ari ng bahay.

"Pasensya na po baka po makakakuha ako ng pera ay babayaran ko po kayo kaagad" ang pakiusap ni aling Yolanda.

"Hindi maaari dapat na kayong umalis ngayon dahil may uupa na ditong iba"ang matigas pa ring sabi ng may-ari ng bahay.

Walang nagawa si aling Yolanda sa kanyang pakiusap kaya unti-unti niyang kinuha ang mga damit at habang binabalot ay nakamasid lang si Irish.

Hinawakan ni Irish ang kamay ng ina na nakaluhod habang binabalot ang mga damit.

"Inay, huwag ka na pong malungkot basta po lagi tayong magkasama kahit saan tayo pumunta ay maligaya na rin po ako" ang wika sa ina at pinunasan ng kanyang kamay ang mga luha na tumutulo sa pisngi ng ina.

Niyakap ni aling Yolanda ang anak.

"Salamat anak" at iyon na lang ang nasabi ni aling Yolanda sa anak habang nakatingin sa anak na nakangiti sa kanya at hinalikan niya ito.

Nilisan nga nila ang bahay na inuupahan at ng malayo na sila ay lumingon si aling Yolanda. Pinagmasdan ang bahay sa huling sandali na naging saksi sa naging takbo ng kanilang buhay at ngayon muli silang haharap sa pinakamahirap na yugto ng kanilang buhay na walang masisilungan..walang permanenteng matutulugan..wala ang asawa na sana katuwang niya sa nararanasan niyang hirap.

Kay aling Yolanda ay makapagtitiis pa siya ng hirap subalit papaano si Irish? Kakayanin kaya ng bata na sa mura niyang edad na harapin ang sitwasyon ng buhay nila?

Sa katanungan kung "bakit" ay panahon lang ang makasasagot.

Kaya ang mag-ina kapag inabot ng gabi ay sa bangketa na lang natutulog. Basta kung saan sila abutan ng gabi iyon ang kanilang tulugan.

Isang araw napansin ni aling Yolanda na matamlay si Irish kaya hindi sila umalis upang mangalakal sa basurahan.

Kinagabihan inaapoy na ng lagnat si Irish kaya itinakbo siya ni aling Yolanda sa ospital.

Pagdating sa ospital ay kaagad kinausap ang mga naroon at nakiusap na gamutin ang anak dahil mataas ang lagnat nito.

"Maawa na po kayo inaapoy ng lagnat ang anak ko kailangan niya ng gamot" ang pakiusap niya sa mga nurse na nasa counter ng ospital.

Subalit tiningnan lang siya at nagtanong.

"Eh misis may pang deposit po ba kayo..private hospital po ito" ang sabi ng isa sa counter.

 "Wala po eh" ang tugon ni aling Yolanda.

Pagkasabi ni aling Yolanda na wala siyang pangdeposit ay hindi na siya pinansin ng mga nasa counter.

Sa pagkakataon palang iyon ay may isang nakakarinig sa pakiusap ni aling Yolanda at nagsabi na dalhin na lang ang anak sa center na malapit lang naman.

Kaaagad dinala ni aling Yolanda si Irish sa center at doon ay inasikaso kaagad ang bata.

Mag uumaga na ng humupa ang lagnat ni Irish at nakapagsasalita na ito.

"Inay, alam mo po ang layo layo ng narating ko..malayong malayo..akala ko po hindi na ako makauuwing pabalik pero nagpilit po akong makauwi kasi po alam ko hinihintay nyo po ako at kasi po love kita inay".

"Ang anak kong ito salamat sa Diyos hindi ka Niya kinuha sa akin" at muli hindi napigilan ni aling Yolanda ang maluha..luha ng kaligayahn dahil kapiling niya ang anak.

Lumapit ang nag-asikaso kay Irish kay aling Yolanda at sinabi na magaling na ang bata.

Nahihiyang nagtanong si aling Yolanda kung magkano ang babayaran nila.

"Wala po inay" ang magalang na tugon ng kausap niya "eto po iyong mga gamot na iinumin ng bata tiyakin lang po na mainom niya sa tamang oras po"

Anopat walang pagsidlan sa kasiyahan si aling Yolanda kundi magpasalamat na lang sa kanila.

"Sige po misis pwede na po kayong umuwi kung gusto po ninyo magaling na po anak nyo".

"Opo maraming salamat sa inyong lahat" ang naitugon na lamang ni aling Yolanda.

Sa kabilang dako hindi mapalagay ang ama ni Irish. Kahit iniwanan niya ang mag-ina ay lagi pa rin silang naaalala nito. At ang ginawa niyang pagkakaila sa anak ng makita siya ay lubhang bumagabag sa kanyang budhi. Inuusig na siya ng sariling budhi sa ginawa niya sa anak na si Irish.

Buo na ang balak ni mang Pepito babalik siya sa mag-ina nito. Kinausap niya ang kinakasamang babae at ipinagtapat ang buong katotohanan na pinagsisihan na niya ang pag-iwan sa kanyang mag-ina. Naunawaan naman siya ng kinakasamang babae at siya man ay uuwi na rin sa kaniyang magulang na pinag-iwanan din niya ng kaisa isa niyang anak na lalake.

Bumalik nga si mang Pepito sa kanila subalit wala na doon ang mag-ina.

"Ano itong nagawa ko sa aking mag-ina? Saan ko kaya sila hahanapin? Anak, patawarin mo ako" at naramdaman na lang ni mang Pepito na tumutulo ang kanyang luha tanda ng matinding pagsisisi sa kanyang nagawa.

Habang naghahanap siya at palakad lakad ay may nakakilala sa kanya at sinabi na ang kanyang mag-ina ay nangangalakal sa basurahan.

Walang inaksayang panahon si mang Pepito at pinuntahan ang mga alam niyang tambakan ng basura subalit bigo siya.

Sa kabilang dako sa Center.

"Anak, puwede na raw tayong umuwi magaling ka na raw"

"Sige po inay basta kasama kita kahit saan masaya na po ako" ang nakangiting tugon ni Irish.

Ang mga sinabi ni Irish sa ina ang lalong nagpapatatag kay aling Yolanda upang matibay na harapin ang pagsubok na kanilang dinaranas.

Pagkagaling sa center dahil nagdidilim na ay naghanap sila ng bangketa na pwede silang doon muna matulog.

Ang matalinong si irish ay nagisip kung papaano makatutulong sa ina. At habang natutulog ang ina dahil sa matinding pagod ay umupo ito sa tabi ng natutulog na ina at nagpapalimos sa mga nagdaraan. Hindi niya kasi matiis ang ina na laging umiiyak sa kanilang kalagayan kaya naiisip niyang tumulong sa pamamagitan ng paglilimos.

Hindi sinasadya ay napadaan si mang Pepito sa kanila na patuloy na naghahanap.

"Mamang ano, palimos po wala kaming makain ng inay ko maawa na po kayo"

Narinig ni mang Pepito ang palimos ni Irish na hindi niya alam ay ang anak na hinahanap.

Nagbigay naman si mang Pepito ng limos at dahil madilim ay hindi niya namukhaan ang anak.

Subalit si Irish ay namukhaan siya kaya napasigaw ito.

"Itay!! Itay!! inay gising si itay nandito" ang sabi sa ina na natutulog.

Napalingon si mang Pepito sa tawag ni Irish at sa nakita niyang ayos ng anak na nagpapalimos ay parang may sumaksak na matalim na bagay sa puso niya. Kaya patakbo niyang nilapitan ang anak at habang umiiyak ay nasabi sa anak.."Anak, Irish, patawarin mo ako..nandito na ang itay hindi ko na kayo iiwanan ng inay mo"

Nasa ganoonng sitwasyon si mang Pepito na yakap yakap ng mahigpit ang anak at umiiyak ay nagising si aling Yolanda at nakita niyang yakap ng asawa ang anak.

Humarap si mang Pepito kay aling Yolanda at humingi dito ng tawad.

At muling nabuo ang pamilya nila..binuo ng isang mabait at matalinong bata na si Irish at ng isang mabait at mapagpatawad na ina na si aling Yolanda na hindi sumuko sa dagok ng pagsubok. At ang pagyayakap nila ng mahigpit ay tanda na hindi na sila magkakahiwalay pa.

After the dinner, the Hunters then exited the dining room and they went to do their own work.


Dee wanted to go to the library again but Dale grabbed her hands and took her somewhere else instead.


"Where are we going?" asked Dee.


"Just follow me, okay? I won't do anything to harm you anyway.."


Dee knew Dale wouldn't hurt her in any way and she trusted him, so Dee followed where Dale would take her.


Becky, who was still holding grudges on Irish, walked out from the dining room earlier than everybody. She stands at the end of the hallway on the right side of the dining room and waits for Irish to walk by there.


After a few minutes, Becky could hear Irish's voice talking to someone.


Becky, who was standing by leaning on the vault waiting quietly there. When Irish walked past her hiding spot, Becky pulled his collar and pushed him to the floor.


Jade, who was with Irish , was shocked to see Irish being thrown to the floor. He looked to the side and he saw Becky was smirking and walked toward Irish.


Becky put her leg on Irish's chest and put a little pressure on her leg.


Irish groaned in pain and he tried to push Becky's leg aside but it was harder to do than he thought.


Jade quickly pulled Becky to the back but Becky slapped his hand away from her shoulder.


"Don't disturb us. This is between me and this son of a bitch!!" said Becky.


"Don't do this Becky. We have rules here. And it said we cannot fight among ourselves... Stop this immediately and let Irish go!" Jade said again.


Becky pushed her feet harder to Irish's chest and Irish groaned harder than before.


"Le--let me--go!" Irish said with a painful voice.


"Try to get away by yourself. You bravely told me to go away during dinner but now, you even cannot get away from under my feet. You really a piece of shit, aren't you?" said Becky mockingly.


Irish gritted his teeth. "You--bitch!"


Becky laughed sarcastically. "Wow, you call me that but look at yourself. You can't even get away from a bitch like me!"


At the same time, Dale and Dee also walked  in the same hallway and saw what Becky did to Irish. They quickly approached them. Dee pulled Becky away from Irish. 


Dale also helped Irish to get up from the floor. "What the hell is going on here? Could you two give an explanation?" asked Dale. 

"She started it first!" said Irish, pointing right to Becky's face. 


Becky's face darkened when Irish pointed out to her. Irish is really a son of a bitch... He only gets brave when there are many of the members here. But when he was alone, he was a totally freaking coward.. 

"You're crazy, girl... You crossed the line already. Don't do this to your team mate..." Jade said while looking at Becky with an unpleasant face.

"Becky, what is this? Could you give a reason why you did this?" asked Dee to Becky. She knew Becky wouldn't do anything without a reason. So she tries to help Becky so that Becky can give her reason. 

"I only give him back what he did to me!" said Becky calmly. 

"What did he give to you??!" asked Jade. 

"Why don't you ask himself what he did to me during dinner," said Becky again with a cold gaze toward Irish. 


"What are you guys talking about?" asked Dee again. 


"She angry to me because of one fucking seat. How does that make sense?" said Irish again. 

"You fight over a chair, Becky? What is wrong with you two? It is only a seat," said Dale again. 

"Of course it's only a seat... But he won't let me sit there. Helendra said that seat belongs to no one but he keeps shooing me away.. Saying that I don't belong to the seat," said Becky again. 

Dee sighed heavily as she put her left hand to her forehead. She knows that Becky is easily getting angry, but right now she was behaving like a little child. How could she get angry over a seat only? There are plenty of chairs in the dining room and why would they fight over one chair? 

"That's only one damn chair, Becky. You cannot hurt anyone because of that. Captain said that we cannot fight among ourselves, stop this immediately!" said Dale. He looked at Becky for a second before he said again, "Besides he is also your teammate!" 

Becky laughed again. This time it is heard ridiculous. "Teammate, my ass!! You think I would consider him as a teammate? Oh, come on, you must be joking.. He even didn't treat me as a teammate when I sat down beside him.. Why should I treat him as a teammate?"

"It's just a fucking seat. Why would you be angry with that?" asked Irish angrily.

"Of course it was just a fucking seat. But don't you think treating me like that would make me consider us as a teammate in the Ranger Team? You really think that I would like to work with a selfish man like you? Piss off! I would rather work alone," Becky said.

"Hey, guys... Come on, don't make these things complicated! We just lost Ariana and Matthew.. Don't make things harder for everyone else..."

When Jade says something like that, Becky and Irish then turned quietly. Dale and Dee also feel sad about it. 

"I won't do this again if you didn't treat me like before. If you disrespect me, I won't even hesitate to treat you worse than this," said Becky.

"Fuck you!" said Irish. He still feels the pain on his chest after Becky's leg was removed. When he saw that clear and stunning stare from Becky Irish know Becky saying the truth.

Becky only snickering with a mocking tone before she leaves. 

"Becky----?" Dee wanted to call Becky but Dale held her hands to stop Dee from chasing Becky. 

"Geez, that girl is really annoying. Why would she attack Irish like this," said Jade. He watched Becky walk away until she was gone from their sights. 

"Please don't say that about her, Jade.. She doesn't behave like that if someone doesn't make her angry," said Dee. 

"She got angry just because of one chair. Geez, can't she just let it go?" replied Irish again. 

"Maybe for other people... But not for Becky, she is a very stubborn and short-tempered girl. Next time, don't make her angry anymore if you want to be on her good side," said Dee again. 

"Dee is right, guys.. After all, Becky's strength is not a joke. She can kill both of you if she wants to," said Dale again. He already saw how strong that girl is and he also doesn't want to be on Becky's bad side. 

"Fine!!" said Irish annoyingly. 

"Let's go.." Jade then suggested leaving the place too and Irish and him leaving. 

Dee and Dale looked at each other and they sighed together.

"Grilled pig is done!" Everyone is busy talking when Mei announces that the pig they grilled had already cooked. as she is also walking with Lucas side by side.

An awkward smile crept on Irish face and Blanche saw it. She doesn't like it. Because, she admit it on herself that, she likes lucas. She have a crush on him. And her goal is to have him. She also wants his cousin going to like her. But seeing his cousin has this cunning smile towards her cousin and lucas.. makes her feel jealous. 

Irish felt like someone is looking on her. So, she titled her head in the side of her. There she saw Blanche looking at her with a dialling expression. "What's with her?" Her mind asked. Blanche composed herself up and gave irish a very big smile. Irish feel awkward on to Blanche action. So, she doesn't put any more attention on to it and just lend it to the two. 

"Lucas, gave it to me. Let me lend you a hand" blanch suddenly interrupt in the scene. It's already perfect to irish,when blanche insert to the picture. "What a nice pic" irish said in sarcasm. She feels something with Blanche that she's sure.. she doesn't like of.

Lucas, looked at Blanche awkwardly for she just come in his side without him noticing her. "O-okay" he said and was about to gave her the tupperware that consist of grilled meats. When she abruptly get it. Then stood nearly to him. "This is really an awkward thing" his mind said. Tho, he just smirk silently and started to walk. The same on to Mei. In order to aware the tense.. between her and her cousin. She step aside. Because in the first place.. she knew that her cousin likes Lucas and she had no assumptions about that. She doesn't want her cousin to look at her as her rival. That'll be a mess if that will happen. She went over the space provided by the others and put it on the mini table that they provide for the foods. 

So, many foods! Her stomach begins to groaned. She suddenly felt hungry. But, she's just holding it. For it is inappropriate for her to just get food without any persmissions. And that thought was somewhat thrown into trash when, Irish suddenly occurs in front of her. That makes her startled a bit. "Irish!" She ranted her. Especially, irish gets foods. It is smiling at her with these envious smile. Grrr. She started to not like it. She feels something strange going on with her best friend.

"I don't like your cousin" her best friend said almost a whisper. irish face is not looking good. With these investigative expression. That the two of them can only hear. Her brows arched while, her eyes slit too. "Why?" She asked and stood up for Lucas and blanche are also approaching to place the foods. Irish holds her wrist and drags her nearer the sea. Far from the other guys.

"It's like.. she'll be a hindrance between you and Lucas." Irish said while smashing the grapes. She is shocked. What make Sher best friend thinks of her cousin as hindrance when there is none between lucas? Her head pains a bit. "And what makes you think about it?" She asked intimidatingly. With crossed arms in front her chest. And so… irish does. They are staring at each other. Feeling the tense between them. Well, in a kidding way. 

"Irish, just to make it clear okay? I don't like your cousin. And besides, I don't have any intention to enter a relationship" she explained. Tho, irish just remained staring at her with an enthusiastic expression drawn in her face. She doesn't believe Mei afterall. Once a person will fell, get attracted, or get attached with a specific person. There's no way to escape out. When a heart is singing the song of love. Screaming that love is on the way. All you have to do is follow it. because if ever you don't.. mind will be affected, even if you don't want to think that person.. your mind will make you bother with those things. it will pester you. Makes you gone crazy and sometimes.. you don't notice the possible things that you do think it's impossible. And that's what brain and heart comes into one. While the body reconcile and do the actions. It will just broke the bond when, you experienced broke up. Heartache. A severe experience inside a relationship. That eventually, gave you a lesson. 

It's like, lessons from the beginning. Yet, when you get to undergo with it. You'll learn and understand at the same time. Then next time.. you'll be aware of it already. Much way, too easier to avoid that than the first. 

"So, don't illusionate the things that won't happen" is what Mei said for the last time. Irish sneeze. "Okay, but I still believe that you and my cousin will end up together. In the end" mei's eyes widened in shock. "The heck irish!" She screamed while irish just put another grapes on to her mouth and smashed it with her teeth. While stepping her foot in it's the same place. Mei is annoyed yet, she didn't have to counter it. Irish is an annoying bestfriend and she knows that her best friend won't stop until she gets annoyed.

"Whatever. Illusionate yourself more then" she walks out first and irish followed her while chuckling. Which is really getting her nerves. She's kind of a friend who takes things seriously. So, she really gets easily annoyed. And that is the reason why irish likes her so much.

Mei, doesnt lie. She always says the things that she knows. She is honest and a loving friend. Except being rude. An ideal friend that irish wished before until now. And she'll be forever grateful to God for giving her the friend she wished to have. 

It is really a good thing that she came back at the province. Her parents doesn't even know the reasons of why she came back at the province so sudden. 

She may have lots of friends at the city. But, none of it all are being true to her. She thought that they may the same as mei does. But, it is all wronged. She's wrong. And she regretted it. Sa he doesn't even expect that her ex-friend one of her plastic friends back at the city will have a secret affair with her boyfriend. One of the reason why she despise them and break up with Sanford.

Now, that she is back. She will spend lots of her time on to her real best friend. Who treats her naturally and accept her wholy. Without any doubts, without any judgements. 

The two of them went back to the cloth they placed for the picnic. They ate altogether and it is fun. They are having fun. Talking lots of things. Especially their other friends are jolly, jamming and are talkative. There wouldn't be a time that their circle will become silent. "Do you know that, Urassaya is my wife?" Peter said. And everyone says "Woah!! In your dreams peter" jelai said. That eventually kills the mood of peter. They all laughed.

After eating, the others change into their swimming wears for the swimming. And not that takes long.. they went swimming except for irish, Mei and lucas. They just remains in their places. While looking at the others that are now enjoying the water. 

"I'm gonna go swimming now. How about you Mei? Aren't you gonna join us?" Irish said and asked at the same time. "I don't feel like swimming irish. My stomach is also full too. Maybe my mind changes a bit later." Mei answered. Well, a creepy smile from irish is annoying her. She can name of what her best friend is thinking right at the moment. 

Irish tilted her head to see lucas. Who is now still eating. "how about you lucas?" She asked her cousin. And so the same as mei said. He also declined. But, not exactly the same reason as hers. "I'm eating" that's what he said. "So, Mei declined, you declined---" irish was cutted off when the two of them interfere with her annoying statement.

"There's nothing between us!" Mei

"There is nothing going on between us" Lucas

"ohhhhh!" And there is nothing that irish can say but, shocked by their the same reactions. 

Blanche is passing by and she heard the three. Exact thing that Mei and Lucas reunited and had the same statements. She felt jealous. She started to hate her cousin. Yet, she won't accept lose or planning to become a loser. She may just have been broke up with someone else. She will fight her feelings for Lucas. And she'll make sure that Lucas will be hers.

She composed herself. She is wearing a two piece swimsuit. With her body showed. especially, the curves are maintained and well built. A perfect body for a girl. Walking towards them. Combing her hair with the use of her fingers finding attractive and is like a model. Tho, lucas noticed her. But, looks like.. he's not interested and just continue eating his food.

Irish eyes changes on to a slit one. She really dislike Blanche so what she did… approach blanche and do fake a smile "wow, you're so beautiful Blanche! Come! Let's go and swim" she didn't even invited her and just drag blanche towards the sea water. Blanche is annoyed. Because, she can't even counter Irish. All she wants is to get an attention from Lucas's! Even if she doesn't want to.. she just get along with Irish and didn't sulk about it. Maybe she can have his attention later. 

She'll definitely find a way..
