immense problems. But
how?
    She sighed desperately. She needed to
think fast, before everything would be too late!
    “ I will do everything,
Papa,” she fervently whispered. “I will do everything to fix the
mess that we are now in. Just promise me that you’ll hold on, that
you’ll fight with us. Be strong, and please, hang on to your dear
life. You are my strength, please know that. If you’ll leave us,
too, just like what Mama did, I won’t bear it… We won’t bear
it…”
    Her chest constricted. Devastation was
starting to crawl in her heart again, but she instantly threw it
away. She didn’t need that in her life. All she needed was the
strength and the will to fight. This was just another trial that
they would surely recover from. This, too, would pass.
    She kissed her father's hand lovingly.
“I’ll go in the meantime, but I’ll be back the soonest. I just have
to do something very important. This is for us, Papa. For us.” She
held his hand again, and after a brief moment, she stood up. “See
you later, Pa.” She tenderly kissed her father goodbye, and walked
to the door, leaving him in the ICU.
    She was walking in the hallway of the
hospital when she called Brenda. She instructed her to go to the
hospital after she was done packing some of the things that they
would need in the hospital. She told her sister that she had to
attend to their father because she had to leave to do something
very important.
    She would go to her godfather,
Christopher Maraullo, to ask for help. Maybe he could lend her some
money that she could use to pay off their debt to the bank. That
was her initial plan. She would resort to plan B, if plan A fails.
And then plan C, and so on, and so forth. She would gladly use all
the letters in the alphabet if she needed to.
    She was also thinking about postponing
her studies, and to find work instead. She needed a source of
income, especially during these troubled times. And she couldn’t
think of anything else, but find a decent job.
    She needed to think of other
alternatives, too, that she could exploit. She had some rich
friends, but she knew that she couldn’t really borrow big amounts
from them, though she could try.
    Ah… she really had to exhaust her
options. The bigger amount of money she could raise, the
better.
    As far as she knew, his father’s debt
already amounted to a staggering five million pesos. She had no
effing idea how to raise such big amount of money, especially now
that her father had depleted the balance in their primary bank
account.
    But she wasn’t losing hope. Maybe
somewhere, somehow, a solution was waiting for her. She just had to
find it. But right now, she could only turn to God.
    Lord, please… give me
miracles!  she murmured and
sighed.
    Yes, that was what she really needed.
Miracles! A lot of them!

Chapter 4
    “ I am so sorry, hija, but
this is just what I can lend
you.  You know, business is not really
doing well at this point. Pardon my limited help.” Christopher
Maraulo, her godfather, was apologetic when he signed the
check.
    But she could only sigh in relief. At
least, he was lending her some amount. And that was more than
enough.
    “ Thank you, ninong!” She
was emotional when she accepted the check he handed her. Her eyes
shone with gratitude. “This is already a big help…” She looked at
the check with a written amount amounting to six hundred fifty
thousand pesos. It already meant a lot to her. Six hundred fifty
thousand pesos. It was way better than receiving
nothing.
    She brought the check to her chest as
she closed her eyes, trying to contain her emotions. Her eyes were
stung with tears when she looked at her godfather. “Thank you very
much, Ninong Chris. Don’t worry, I’ll pay you the second I have the
money-”
    “ Please don’t think about
paying at this moment, Kat,” he interrupted. “You have a lot of
more important things to worry about than that. I won’t get back
the money sooner. You can take your
