Chapter 5

I'm really hurt for Ate Luna. Mama and I have been like this for several years. Some events were also canceled due to their disputes. Even I have always been scolded since I failed the Architecture Licensure Exam.

We used to be okay. I just don't know what happened. I thought he was the first person I could run to at that time, but he closed the door of his house. He let me cry outside the house.

It's really good that Ate Luna came.

Ate Luna supported me to get up again. I was very sad and hurt when I found out that I didn't pass because I gave everything I could. Ate Luna is by my side when I cry because my friends are already architects. Ate Luna was by my side when I wanted to give up on reviewing.

He also serves as inspiration today. In all that he went through, he did not give up, and he continued to fight.

I'm just embarrassed to tell her "Thank you sister, because you didn't give in to me". I thought he would leave and abandon me too, but the next day when he picked me up at my mom's house, he immediately bought books that I could use as a reviewer.

She also asked me if I wanted her to find me a review center, but on my second take I just wanted to self-review. I can focus more on this way of learning.

It also makes my heart fat because every day I review, my sister Luna asks me questions so that she can see if I'm studying something, is it like Quiz Bee. Whenever I hit all his questions he would always say the words “I’m proud of you!”. Because of that I work harder to review, and I will make sure that this time I can pass it on.

"Pst, did you review before?" Luna asked.

"Yup sister, this is oh" I replied while showing him the reviewers I made and books with highlighted books.

"Really hard work, I hope all." said the sister.

“Luh? I have to wish you all the best, sister HAHA, you are so diligent. ” I said.

“Oh, come on! Just a review review. I won't ask you now, will I? Also try to ask yourself. When I was in college, flashcards were most effective for me. Try to do it ”my sister's advice.

"Oh, I'll do it later." my answer.

“Wait, later? Maybe later when you review it, you will neglect yourself. Is your health still important? Because how can you take the exam if your body is not in good condition. It's been almost 6 months, Olivia. Take care of yourself ”said my sister.

“I was able to regain my sleep, sister. Don’t worry. I also rarely eat chips during reviews. Sometimes sister, I eat salad and then fruit juice. ” I said.

“Edi is good. Healthy living. Just, focus on reviewing first, but of course you should also relax somehow. When you're tired, just rest for a while, then get up again tomorrow, fight again. ” said the sister.

“Aw. Yes sister ”I replied.

“By the way, my make up artist is not available on July 11, are you busy then? Just borrow me for a moment, you just do my make up, okay? Or do you have a review? ” he asked me.

“Hay nako. We’re happy with him — his life we’re ‘no. He probably has a family in America now. ” Ate Luna replied.

"Didn't you really talk after your break up?" I will ask.

"No longer. For what else? It's obvious to me that he chose his job there, and it's okay with me because that's where he's happy and I'm sure he'll go farther there. It's okay because I can focus more on my work. I'm okay now because we can get what we want now. The things you want, and the things mama wants. ” my sister answered me.

“But you are left alone now. I mean you know, when you first came with us, you forgot about yourself. ” I said.

“It’s okay. I am happy that you are happy ”said my sister.

"But aren't you really looking at his account?" I asked while searching Instagram.

“Never. It's not blocked but I just don't want to. ” my sister replied.

"@Marcaodgman, 4,103 followers, 910 following, 211 posts" I said while scrolling through brother Marco's account. I speeded up the swipe to see if he had deleted the pictures of him and my sister before. Coming to the end, I saw pictures of the two of them and my sister. Seriously, my sister's smile is beautiful here. I don't know why these two even separated.

"Not deleted yet?" my sister asked, let's go together and come to me to look at brother Marco's account.

"Not yet ..." I answered as I handed the cellphone to Ate Luna.

I could clearly see in Ate Luna's reaction that she smiled when she saw kuya Marco's account. Maybe Ate Luna would be happier now if they were still together, if they were still.

"No more ..." said Ate Luna as my cellphone returned to me.

“Huh? What do you mean? ” I will ask.

He didn't answer so I just looked at what was on my cellphone.

When I looked at my cellphone, I saw an instagram post with my older brother Marco. I won't be surprised why Ate Luna's reaction was like that.

I feel that until now, Ate Luna still really loves kuya Marco.
