Lahat ng Kabanata ng Three Month Agreement (ENGLISH): Kabanata 1 - Kabanata 10

I never gave up on working hard. Over the past few years, life threw countless challenges our way, but Seya and I embraced them and grew stronger together. Now she's in college, and I feel a wave of happiness knowing she'll graduate next year. After everything we've been through, I never imagined I'd be able to help make her dream a reality.Every struggle and every sacrifice has been worth it.We no longer live under the bridge, and I'm always thankful for that. I saved enough to rent an apartment for us. I worked as a street sweeper, sold charcoal, and collected scraps before. I saved little by little until I could cover our expenses and provide a decent home.Now, we have a safe and comfortable small apartment where we feel secure, and Seya can focus on her studies.Maybe that's how it really works—those problems and struggles shape you to be tougher and more determined to have a better life. If I had given up before, all my hard work from the start would have been wasted. Seya wil

The swimsuit segment would be after this performance, and I was even more nervous."Zehra, change into this! Here's a red swimsuit I picked out from the thrift shop," Lea handed it to me. I took the swimsuit and headed to the restroom. My hands felt cold because I wasn't used to showing so much skin. I rarely even wore shorts or tank tops.But for five thousand, I'll do it.After putting it on, I stepped out of the restroom and approached Lea and Letty. They looked at me with wide eyes. Their mouths are even opened."Oh my gosh! Why have you been hiding this kind of body, Zehra? I hate you! You're so sexy! Your skin is so smooth and fair!" Lea exclaimed, pinching my sides.At first, nobody believed that I came from a poor family because of my complexion. It was also because I took care of myself; even when I was out all day under the scorching sun, I always wore long sleeves and pajamas to avoid getting sunburnt."Wow, you have no tummy! It's flat! And your butt is so big! You're so s

"S-Stop crying... sis..."When I heard Seya's voice I raised my head. I swallowed hard and then moved to touch her face."What are you feeling? Hmm?""I-I will feel good if you s-stop crying..." she said smiling.I sobbed and nodded. "I-I won't cry anymore..."We left the hospital after because Seya insisted for us to go home. I only have 200 pesos on my pocket at that time and I was ready to admit her but she got mad at me and told me she will just rest at home.It's so hard. I don't know who to cry to, or who to lean on to share the problems and pain I'm carrying. Seya is such a happy child, hardworking and smart. Why does she have to suffer from such a disease?When we got home, I explained her condition to Seya. I told her she needed to stop studying. Instead of being sad because it's our d-dream, she apologized to me. She thought she was a burden. She started crying, and I wanted to cry too, but I couldn't because I promised her. T-That I won't cry.Not i-in front of her.I could

Tears streamed down my face as I squeezed my eyes shut. My heart clenched and intense fear filled mg system."I-I'm on my way. Please wait for me there, Lea," I said before ending the call.I was gasping for air, and my tears kept flowing. I turned to Errol, and held on his arms, unable to stop crying."I-I need to go, Seya...""Shh... Zehra, calm down," Errol said softly.I noticed his friends approaching us. Lianna and Thauce were among them. Sir Jio came over to ask what was happening."What happened, Zehra?""Sir, I-I need to leave now. P-Please just deduct my pay for tonight. Seya... m-my sister needs me. She was t-taken to the hospital again. She had an attack and is in the ICU."Please, God. P-Please... don't take my sister f-from me. She's the only reason that I-I am living... please..."Don't worry about your salary, Zehra. Go to your sister now," Sir Jio told me.I nodded and was about to turn away to leave when Errol stopped me, still holding my hand."I'll go with you," he

I'm now looking at the tall building of Thauce's company. I've already signed the contract. I looked at the envelope I was holding. He gave me a copy. He told me that Seya will be transferred to a private hospital the next day, and he will cover all the expenses.I told him that the only thing that matters to me is my sister's safety. He doesn't need to pay me if he's going to cover all of Seya's hospital expenses."I don't like you questioning my decisions, Zehra Clarabelle. Whatever I say, you must follow.""I will prepare what your sister needs. I also know the doctor who will attend to her. Seya will be admitted to my sister's hospital. You don't need to worry about anything else except what I'm ordering you to do.""Make Errol fall for you hard. Make sure he's crazy about you and he won't be able to leave you."I just sighed. I walked and hailed a taxi. I planned to go home first and change clothes before going back to the hospital."To Dapdap West, sir," I said to the driver.Wh
