Nang makauwi ang pamilya Renue sa kanilang mansyon after nung event, hinila ng Mama ni Qarly ang buhok ni Qarly.
"Ouch, Mama!" sinamaan niya ng tingin ang kanyang ina. "What did you tell that girl?"
Tinanggal ni Qarly ang kanyang sunglasses and said, "I said na she should make papansin sa iba pa naming kaklase and she needs to work on it because the attention won't last."
Qarly's mom was a bit surprised. "Sige na mija, akyat ka na and we'll get the househelps to fix our lunch, call you later." Her father said to avoid the mother and daughter from starting a never-ending conflict.
Sa buhay na ito ni Qarly, hindi niya aakalain na ang sarili niyang ina ang kanyang magiging karamay at sa kaparehong pagkakataon, ito rin ang magiging kaalitan niya sa maraming bagay.
It seems like Qarly's mom is really envious and insecure of her own daughter, that's why she's best allies with Qarly and at the same time the worst enemy to have.
Qarly is fortunate enough that she got her father's wisdom and calmness, no matter what the situation is.
"Sige Papa, akyat na ako." Bago pa mahablot ng kanyang ina ang damit nito, napigilan na ito ng kanyang ama.
"Mamaya tayo mag-uusap muli, Queen Aurora Ly Renue!" gigil na sabi nito. Wow! What an interesting bond with her daughter.
At Qarly's room...
Binaba na ni Qarly ang kanyang bag sa isang tabi and before she got dressed out of her school uniform, she drag aside her curtains.
She looked down to see that it seems like her backyard is empty.
Her room is facing a vacant land behind her house, it's theirs too that's why technically it's their backyard.
They have a garden but it is placed in a glass house, seems like they're the type of rich that keeps everything non-intrusive. Meaning hindi masyado lahad yung yaman or yung mga bagay na pinagmamay-ari nila.
The first time Qarly realized na she's born with a golden crown was when she turned 3 years old.
At that stage, most kids are already interacting with other kids or their parents annoyingly insist their kids with other kids of their friends.
Qarly was kinda interacting with some kids, but most of the time, when her mother and the other mothers aren't looking at them, she isolates herself from the kids.
She'd rather play on her own and that makes her happy. Yet, she doesn't mind if other kids approaches her to play.
But, most of the time, she just wants to be on her own. She's not the type who really loves communicating or socializing with other kids.
She likes to observe her surroundings and smiles a lot when she sees someone arguing just because they were jealous of one another about something trivial.
And for crying out loud, she's 3, so she just wants to spend time with her parents or yayas by the side. Being a rich kid is never fun because many eyes are watching.
Qarly is still very young and she's a toddler.
By observing, her perception will always change everytime. The memories of a toddler won't even last a long time.
Qarly for the most part, will only remember some things.
And recalling an incident from when she was three, the images in her mind, seems a little bit fuzzy.
"Hoy, ano ba? Kain na!" nagbalik ang huwisyo ni Qarly sa reality.
"May iniisip ka Qarly?" ang tatay niya ang nagtanong. Napansin niya ang crumpled na mukha ng ina at ngumiti siya.
"What's funny?" napa-buntong hininga na lang sa isip si Qarly.
Ang kanyang ina talaga ang cause ng kanyang stress. But, she makes her extra-curricular activities as distractions from her stressful situation with her own mother.
"Wala po," kumain na muli siya at inisip ang susunod niyang gagawin na activity.
Kasalukuyang hinahanap ni Qarly si Coral para makapag-ballet na sila.
Now at seven years of age. The event from last year, sunk in Qarly's yound mind.
Many thought she was a prodigy in progress.
But until the last moment, she acts like she doesn't realize she is one.
Ang totoo niyan, hindi talaga siya prodigy, if she was, her parents should've let her study in a school where in, prodigies are being educated.
One time, when she took an IQ exam, the results were not that high but surprisingly when she took an EQ(Emotional Quotient/Emotional Intelligence) exam, she had a high score. Which means she has a high level of EQ than IQ.
Some say that it's really fascinating to see a child to have High EQ than High IQ, because the world seems to only focus on logic rather than the focus on emotions.
Masaya man ang tatay ni Qarly na meron siyang anak na may high EQ rather than high IQ, on the other side, Qarly's mom, doesn't seem impressed. "Doc, may gamot ba kayo para maging more logical si Qarly?"
Mas gusto ng nanay ni Qarly na tumalino ito.
What a manipulative person. Poor Qarly.
"Huwag niyo na bigyan si Qarly ng gamot, para sa akin, ok na siya kahit na low ang IQ niya basta maging healthy at masaya siya."
That left Qarly's mom really annoyed.
Phew! who to follow when you're like barely a grown person?
Parents might never be chosen by children.
But, if a child has a way to get whatever it is it wants, they will go against anyone or anything.
