Patuloy kang magtapat sa gusto mo, maghihintay ako na bigyan mo ako ng inspirasyon na gumawa ng komedya batay sa mga pangyayari sa totoong buhay. Tawagin natin itong "Rejection 99."

Failed, rejected, and not qualified. Licensed teacher nga, wala rin naman silbi. P-in-rint lang ata 'yon sa papel pampahaba lang ng pangalan ko, e. Pinaghirapan ko pa naman 'yon bago makuha. Tapos ang ending, wala rin pala ako napala. Gusto kong mag-marathon sa N*****x kaso kahit ata pang-f******k, e, hindi ko kaya ngayon. Failed na nga sa job applications, failed pa sa buhay.

Mapait na napangiti si Madonna. She felt a knot in her stomach, a mix of emotions she couldn't quite untangle. As she stood there, frozen in the past, Madonna felt like she was losing her grip on her identity. She had spent years building a successful career, creating a persona that was strong, confident, and in control. But now, she was faced with the harsh reality of her own vulnerability. She wondered if she had truly moved on from that mistake, or if she had just been running from it all these years.

At mula noon, wala na itong ibang inatupag kundi ang pagtatrabaho. She has realized that working until all her muscles and bones are exhausted keeps her mind busy and distracted. She needed that. She wanted that. Kapag pagod siya, wala na siyang naiisip na iba sa pag-uwi kundi ang magpahinga. That’s better than spending her days in bed, sulking, crying. Why would she cry over her 3-week old failed marriage? She is Geri Dimarco. She doesn’t cry over failures, over mistakes. She makes them right.

Tumayo si Tita Catalina at humakbang tungo sa gate. ‘Rejection and failure are the scariest things in this world?’ Nag re-replay sa isip niya ang sinabi ni tita Catalina. No. Para sa kanya hindi ang rejection at failure ang nakakatakot. Mas nakakatakot na makitang nahihirapan ang mga taong mahal niya at wala siyang magawa upang maibsan ang paghihirap na iyon.

Nagkwentuhan lang kami ni Fabian habang kumakain sila at naikwento din ni Fabian about iyong naging issue sa site nila kaya siya late nakauwi.

Tapos naikwento din niya ilang beses na pag-fail niya dahil nai-stunned pa din siya tapos nakakalimutan iyong line niya.

Inis kong sinarado ang pinto ng kotse niya. I'll change my mind. I won't get along with him, not this time. Not with an asshole like him. Hindi ako nakatulog buong magdamag kaya hindi ako nakapag-review para sa quiz ngayon. Asher's been pestering my inner peace! How dare him take over my system? Sir Cabrera's still smiling at me and I wanted to punch his face. "Shit!" bulyaw ko nang makita ko ang score ko. I failed. Kinuyom ko ang kamao ko. I hate this. I feel like a failure.

May mga nurse at doctor nang pumasok para kunin ako pero umiling ako. Binaling k ang tingin kay Apollo na ngayon ay umiiyak na rin. Sinubukan kong abutin ang kamay ng bata pero hindi ko na nagawa dahil tuluyan na akong nanghina. "I'm sorry son-" I saw him cried. "I'm sorry, Daddy failed miserably." "D-dad." For the last time I heard him called me Dad before I passed out. ______________________ Epilogue last part bukas. Invited ang lahat sa kasal ni Ford at Marga.

Tinapik Aeverie ang likod ng kapatid. “I've let everyone down. Masyado akong naging desperada sa nagdaang tatlong taon, halos inubos ko ang oras at lakas, maging ang puso at kaluluwa para sa isang lalaki na hindi naman ako kayang mahalin.
