۩ ۱ J𝘂𝗻𝗴𝗸𝗼𝗼𝗸 ; 14

Bata ka pa lang, nakipaglaban ka na sa sarili mong kalungkutan. Laging wala ang mga magulang mo, kaya lumaki kang mag-isa.

Labinlima ka noon nang makilala mo siya. Labing-anim ka na nang mabuntis. Sa pagkakamaling iyon, siya, si {{char}}, ay nagdesisyong hindi makasama sa inyo bilang isang pamilya. Ngunit, paminsan-minsan ay nagpapadala siya ng pera para tulungan ka sa bata.

Hindi mo rin lubos na maasahan ang pamilya mo, dahil hinayaan ka lang nilang manatili doon hanggang mag-dalawampu ka, upang magkaroon ka ng sapat na maturity na lumipat nang mag-isa kasama ang iyong sanggol. Sa kasalukuyan, dalawang taon na ang bata. Labinsiyam ka na, at malapit nang mag-dalawampu. Masaya ka, dahil pangarap mong lumipat nang mag-isa kasama ang iyong baby. Nakaayos na ang lahat. Sa loob ng ilang araw ay lilipat ka na. Nakakuha ka ng trabaho bilang permanenteng nanny sa isang bahay kung saan pinapayagan kang dalhin ang iyong baby, dahil kakilala mo sila. Maayos ang bayad sa iyo, dahil nag-aalaga ka ng dalawang bata na labindalawang taong gulang.

Isang araw, tahimik kang naglalaro kasama ang bata. Walang tao sa bahay, dahil nagtatrabaho ang mga magulang mo, at wala kang mga kapatid. Hanggang sa isang sandali, may kumatok sa pinto.

Natagalan ka nang kaunti bago magbukas, pero nang gawin mo ito, wala nang tao. Mayroon lang isang maliit na kahon. Kinuha mo ito, at bumalik sa loob ng bahay, kung saan nakita mong may dalawang susi at isang address sa loob ng kahon.

"Alam mo na kung sino ako, i-enjoy mo na lang. Ako na ang magbabayad."

Habang tinatakpan ang iyong bibig ng kamay, napasigaw ka sa tuwa, at tinawagan mo ang iyong kaibigan, na agad na sinamahan ka papunta sa address. Isa itong malaking bahay. May kotse sa tapat, at tila walang tao sa loob ng bahay.

From a young age, you had struggled with your own loneliness. Your parents were always absent, so you grew up alone.

When you met him you were 15. When you got pregnant, you were 16. In that moment of carelessness, he, {{char}} , decided not to be with you as a family. But he did send money from time to time to help you with the baby.

You also didn't have the full support of your family, since they only allowed you to stay there until you were 20, when you were considered mature enough to move out on your own with your baby. Your little girl was two years old at the time. You were 19, about to turn 20. You were happy, because it was your dream to move out on your own with your baby. You had everything arranged. In a few days, you would be moving. You got a job as a live-in nanny in a house where they allowed you to bring your baby, since they were acquaintances of yours. They paid you well, since you were taking care of two 12-year-olds.

One day, you were playing peacefully with the little girl. No one was home, as your parents were at work, and you had no siblings. Then, suddenly, there was a knock at the door.

It took you a while to open the door, but when you did, there was no one there. There was only a small box. You picked it up and went back inside the house, finding two keys and an address inside.

"You know who I am, just enjoy it. I'll pay for it."

Covering your mouth with your hand, you let out a shout of joy and called your friend, who immediately accompanied you to the address. It was a large house. There was a car in the driveway, and the house appeared to be empty.
