Sapphire: Pero Dad, gusto ko talaga.
Dad: SINUSUWAY MO NA KAMI NGAYON?!
Sapphire: Dad you know that I'm a good girl, you know I will not gonna do something crazy. I swear, if I
always spend my time inside my room at night, just listening everyone outside my window. I - MIGHT -

Dad: Still a NO.
Sap: You always wanted me to be like that, like this and live my life to what do you want. I didn't know
myself anymore Dad. You and Mommy always deciding on your own FOR - ME. Kailan kaya yung time na,
ako naman? Ako naman? I guess that time will never come, you never trusted me and my Sister.
(Tumayo yung Mommy)
Mom: Huwag na huwag mong idadamay ang Ate mo!
Sap: Huh Mom hindi ba kayo natatakot na mawalan pa ng isang anak?
Dad: Wala kang alam.
Sap: KAYO ANG WALANG ALAM DAD.
Dad: What are you saying? It is clear na Suicide yun Sapphire, what? Is it a Murder?
Sap: YES DAD! IT WAS A MURDER, YOU AND MOMMY KILLED HER.
(Intense Slap hahaa)
Dad: Walang hiya ka!
Mom: Anong pinagsasabi mo Phire!
Sap: You and Dad killed my Sister Mom. It is not a fvcking Suicide damn it! She's taking a kind of drugs
because you and Daddy want her to be a great Neurologist. Pareho lang naman kami ee na ki-control
niyo ni Daddy, ginawa niya yun sa kagustuhan niyang maging proud kayo sa kanya. Merong mga time na
hindi na niya kaya so she's taking drugs para gising na gising parin siya kapag nag-rereview siya.
Everytime I pass by at her room around 4 AM to drink a water she's still awake and reading and it's
leaving me dumbfounded because she can do it, for real Myghad!
Mom: I...I...I... We didn't know.
Sap: Of course you don't know Mom, kase never naman kayong nagtanong ni Daddy kung okay lang ba
kami? Kaya pa ba namin? Maayos ba kami? Masaya ba kami sa ginagawa namin? You never cared Mom.
Mom: No, no that's not true (Crying)
Sap: She wants to be a Photographer And I - WANT - TO BE A CIVIL ENGINEER.
Dad: She told to us na gusto niyang maging Doctor.
Sap: Then she's lying.
Mom: I'm sorry Honey.
Sap: Punta nako sa Room ko.
(Nagyakapan Parents niya, tas
(After that shocking night, she decided to live with her friends Apartment)
Katie: It's been 2 weeks Phire. Are you sure about this?
Sap: Yes.
Crimson: We are always here for you Phire,
(Hug hug sila ganon)
Sap: Ahm guys, napag-desisyunan kona na magpalit ng course. I WILL BE AN ENGINEER STUDENT SOON!
(Happy tone) (Tumili sila ni Katie tas si Crimson nag-smile lang)
Katie: I am so proud of you!!! You finally found yourself Rhoana Sapphire Morgan.
Sap: I learned that I should do the things I really want becuase I only live once. I have to live not to
please my Parents becuase I, myself is a Reign hahahaha just kidding.
Katie: Wow Phire. Nasobrahan na yata confidence mo haha delikado.
(Tawa sila)
Sap: No seriously, I'm happy kase at last I am who I am now.
Crimson: Congrats Sapphire hahahahaha.
Katie: Baliw.
Crimson: BEING HAPPY DOESN'T MEAN EVERYTHINGS PERFECT,
Sapphire: Correct. The key to being happy is knowing that you have the power to choose what to hold on
to and what to let go. Everybody deserves to be valued and appreciated.
Katie: Drama niyo. Kain tayo sa labas.
