Nang makarating si Qarly sa may entrance ng mall, she spread her arms to the air.
"Wooh! Free of my introvert life and now I'm a extrovert fake." Natawa siya sa nasabi niya about being an extrovert fake.
She used to think na she's ambivert. In between ng introvert and extrovert.
Kasi nga naman hindi siya a hundred percent taong bahay. She just likes the comfort of her own home. Still, she gets out of her house whenever she feels stuffy there.
Pero yun nga extrovert fake siya kasi mas nangingibabaw ang tamis ng kape o tapang ng kape. Still, she thinks herself as a person na more introverted and than extroverted.
She just considered herself a fake outgoing person and seems like an okay person towards others.
It's only a filter that she projects so people won't see her as an easygoing type.
Marami kasing gusto talaga siya kunin. Fortunately, sobrang higpit at talagang professionals ang security detail niya tuwing nalabas siya.
One time, when her parents allowed her to roam sa toy stores and book store, muntik na magpa-tawag ng ambulansya at search and rescue team dahil lang nawala sa paningin nung Yaya niya si Qarly. The nanny was fired and luckily, Qarly did show up and her parents were almost dead mad for what she did back then.
"Anak naman, alam mo naman ang sitwasyon natin, bakit hindi mo sinama ang Yaya mo?"
Halos mangiyak-ngiyak na ang nanay nito.
"Where'd you go, Qarly Renue?" Lagot tinawag na siya with her last name ni pudrakels.
"I just got curious kung ano ba yung novelty store, yun pala it's the one that I love most than books and toys." In her young mind, natutunan agad ni Qarly kung ano ang mas magpapa-lakas sa skills niya as an aspiring actress. She needs to compromise with gadgets or DIY things for her props and stuff.
Ayaw niya kasi na hindi niya alam gawin ang isang bagay na kaya naman pala niya i-hulma na siya mismo.
Yes, she's a total DIY enthusiast. It's another type of her having independence too much.
Maalam na siya kung paano gumana ang mga bagay-bagay kahit na sa maiksing panahon niya lang ito nakita or nabasa man lang ang instructions. "Jack of all trades, master to none, but oftentimes a master to one." Yan ang motto niya for her life.
"Let's go home." Natapos ang araw na yun na talagang sinermunan siya ng husto ng ina.
Kaya naman, may namuong hatred sa puso niya si Qarly towards her own mother but fortunately, her father tells her na, "Wala na tayo magagawa, siya lang ang mama mo kaya tanggapin mo na ganyan siya sayo."
For a young Qarly, she didn't take it to heart, not because she doesn't care but, she only does what makes her happy at the moment.
Kahit na may kumokontra sa mga ideya at gawa niya. Malakas ang tiwala niya sa kanyang sarili. Main goal kasi niya ang laging sumaya kahit in reality, kailangan rin ng kalungkutan para maging balanse ang isang tao.
Qarly is a very hard-working person. If no one supports her dreams and goals in life, she makes her own support team. Herself only.
Masakit man na makita na sarili lang natatangging kakampi niya, still she doesn't care what others see. As long as she does things her way or no way. Confidence level is too much. Pero para rin naman sa kanya ang arrogance niya for achieving her wants and needs.
Ngayon nga, after niya i-drop si Coral sa isang doggy day care, nagsimula na siya hanapin ang kanyang boyfriend.
"Ouch! Saan ka ba nakatingin, at binangga mo ako?!" sigaw niya sa nakabundol niyang tao.
When she looked up, she saw a poker face boy na mukhang mas nakakatanda sa kanya ng ilang taon. "Pasensya na bata." Nilahad naman ng lalaki ang kanyang isang kamay para tulungan sana si Qarly makatayo.
"Huwag na, ayoko sa mga tulad mo na pabaya," pinagpag niya ang kanyang unicorn outfit. "Ang bata pa pero napaka-maldita na."
Napataas ang kilay ni Qarly sa narinig. "Hoy, Syre Dane, kung makaasta ka parang close tayo ah?" Bumalik si Syre Dane sa harap ni Qarly, papaalis na sana siya kung hindi lang nito nasabi ang pangalan niya.
Magsasalita na sana ito, pero tinuro ni Qarly ang name sticker sa dibdib ni Syre Dane.
"Tsk, boys are so clueless rin pala mapa-fictional or real." Tumalikod na si Qarly dahil hahanapin niya pa ang boyfriend niya.
Little does she know, nahanap na siya ng kanyang boyfriend. Hihi!
