Patricia's POV

Within weeks, a lot happened. I became even busier as well as my parents. My meeting with Callum was not followed up anymore because I knew he was also busy and was just forced to follow mommy's order.

Until my graduation came.

My hand was shaking as I received my diploma on stage. I didn't know what smile I would make in front of the camera because even my lips were trembling. I was so happy and my tears were welling up in my eyes but I tried not to cry because my make up would be ruined.

Finally!

I watched how my parents proudly hung my medals on me when my name called as gaining a spot as Magna Cum Laude.

Malakas akong pinalakpakan ng mga estudyante hanggang makababa ng stage.

"Congrats!"

"Congrats, Patricia! No doubt, you're really a beauty and brain!"

Ngumiti ako sa pag bati ng mga kaklase ko. Natapos ang ceremony at kanya-kanya na kaming kuhaan ng litrato. May mga kaklaseng lumalapit sakin para magpapicture. Kasama ko rin sila Jess, Kelvin at Tyron
