Chapter 1
Nexi is sitting in the backseat of her dad's car.
She's quitely starring blankly outside the window.
Her mom notice it in the passenger seat kaya naman ay nag senyas ito sa asawa niyang nagmamaneho.
Her dad look at the rearview mirror at nakita siya nitong nakatingin sa labas at walang emosiyon ang mukha.
Nexi look at her dad and there she saw her parents worried face.
Nexi Qienn Graige
I'm fine, dad...
Her calm voice and bright smile made her parents smile too. Pero hindi parin nito nababago ang ekspresyon ng kanilang anak.
The expression of nothing...
Dad
"Anak, you will be staying at your cousin's house, ha. Your tita Eunice will be your guardian for a meantime."
Her dad change the topic and make a new one. Sa pag lipat kasi nito ng bagong school ay lilipat rin siya ng lugar kung saan malayo sa nakasanayan niya.
Her mom and dad decided to take her sa isa nilang kamag anak na malayo sa kanila. They said that it's for her best naman and it is just temporary habang inaasikaso nila yung problem and issues na naganap sa kaniya.
Mom
"Sweatheart, you know what the school that you will be studying ay super ganda. Your tita Eunice is the one who recommended it kasi dun rin nag-aaral si Josh."
Mom
You know Joshua naman diba? He is your cousin yung palagi mong kalaro nung bata pa kayo.
But then she didn't listen. Kahit na ilang bese pa na nag kwento yung mga magulang niya sa kaniya. The encouraging words, and positive vibes that her parents brings sa loob ng sasakyan ay hindi pa rin niya ito pinapansin.
She just look outside and staring blankly and nothing more....
Her mom sigh for disbelief kaya naman ay inalo ito ng asawa niya. And mouthed to her wife that 'it's okay.'
Mom
You will be fine, I promise...
Dad
Everything will be okay, anak.
She look at her parents and she their faces with a bright smile.
Nexi Qienn Graige
I know...
Nexi Qienn Graige
I will be fine, mom... I will.
After she said that words ay mas lalong lumapad ang ngiti ng kaniyang mga magulang kaya naman ay ngumiti narin siya.
Nexi Qienn Graige
(I know that they are worried and I know that this is really hard for them. But I'll make sure this time hinding hindi ko na sila pag-aalalahanin pa.)
