Surprisingly, people with minds beyond normal tend to develop things that contribute to the humankind. That's amazingly impressive for me, as though I would also do the same in the near future. I've recently watched the movie Queen's Gambit and that shows me the clear picture between the difference of madness and genius.
The light room looks cozy with its soft light coming from a nearby lamp. This place still looks and feels the same, from the scented candle lights to the renaissance inspired chandeliers.
Mom wasn't probably here she's asleep or drinking at the dining room with a book on one hand and a champagne glass on the other.
Inilapag ko ang aking bag sa sofa saka dumiretso sa refrigerator. Water refreshes the whole of me from a hectic schedule. I was about to put the glass on the sink when I hear someone laughing.
"Yes El I've already worked for the concrete plan."
It's mom. What plan? Who's El?
Dakilang chismosa na talaga ako.
"Of course, she would agree. Besides, it would cost a lot."
I hid behind the tall cabinet of glasses and kitchen wares. Jusko, kapag ako nahuli nito. Naka-emphasize pa ang "a lot" ha.
"We need to have a host. Or maybe we can ask for the team to provide us an AI robot. What do you think?"
What the effin hell is she talking about?
"Yeah, after my wedding. That would be the best time for it right?"
"See you at Saint Michaels at 10-"
Shit. Nasagi ko ang hilera ng mga kutsara at isa isa itong nagsilaglagan.
''Who's there?"
Knock. Knock.
Napapikit nalang ako at tinakbo ang pinto papunta sa sala.
Shit.
Kunwari may hinahanap ako. I tried fumbling at my bag at halos magkalat na ang laman nito. Kunwari-
"Cia?"
"Hi mom!"
Kumaway pa ako and I flashed a sheepish smile.
"Oh my God darling. You never said you're coming!"
She started hugging me. God, mother! Hindi ka naman ganito.
"Uhm, are you here for my wedding?"
"Ye- yeah I am here for- for your wedding."
"Look at this darling. This diamond is rare and expensive."
She tried showing me her hand na may singsing at malaking bato.
"That's nice mom."
"You should meet Tony, he's a good man. Magkakasundo kayo. Ang kaso he's on a business trip in Michigan. Kailangan niya pang ayusin ang lahat bago ang wedding namin. You know, to have more time with me.''
I admit it, she's happy with the way she looks and speaks. I'm just hoping for a better outcome.
After a little chitchat with her, I hurried back inside my room. Hindi na ako nag abalang maligo bagkus ay dumiretso ako sa aking laptop.
I started opening the search bar and typed St. Michaels. The result was ridiculous because I came into a bunch of sculptures.
No, this one's probably a place.
I started typing St. Michaels location.
The results were places for a restaurant and one of it was a branch for 20-minute ride from our mansion.
I can't hardly sleep that night. Hindi ako pakialamera or what because I wasn't raised like that. There's just something bothering me with the word host and AI. That sounds suspish and weird.
Whatever it is, I better find out soon and one more thing, I have to know who this Tony guy is.
