Secrets in Disguise

1: Welcome, Transferee

     

***

Well, after a long time of waiting. I'm already here. I'm really back in the Philippines, and it was still feel surreal.

The country was not that new to me, I used to live here before, if I remember it correctly, they told me that I spent my whole childhood years here, before we move abroad— how I wish to remember all of that.

Si Kuya and my twin brother lang naman yung madalas dito sa Pilipinas, 'cause they love this country so much— and maybe I will too.

But for now, I need to find first who was the one that my mother says na susundo daw sa akin or should I say magiging guide/kasama ko the whole year of my stay in this country.

"Miss?" napalingon naman ako sa tumawag sa akin

"Yes?"

I eye her and guess that we're just on the same age based on her look and style of fashion.

"OMG! Ikaw ba toh?" what? she stared at me then stared back on her phone, I raised my brows on her, weirdo? the last time I check hindi naman FC ang mga tao dito sa Pilipinas.

"Hala! 'Di ka yata nakakaintindi ng tagalog" do I know her? Well, I didn't... so why she was acting like we're close.

"Excuse me?" nasaan na ba kasi yung susundo sa akin? Mukhang balak yata akong harassin ng isang ito, she may looks innocent but looks can deceive.

"Grabe... mas maganda ka pala sa personal!"

Is she a fan of me? Not to brag, I'm famous online because I was also a teen model in America, but I was not totally the one who used to collect more attentions, beside I'm not that famous one.

"Ahm.... thanks" I awkwardly smiled to her.

I was about to leave this girl alone when she blocked my way. What's with her? Is she a avid fan of mine? What the heck is her problem? Why can't she just leave my freaking way alone? She's annoying, I want to rest first and I still have  jetlag. The heck with my sundo.

"Sandali lang hehe... ikaw ito di'ba?" she showed me the picture of mine on her phone. It was totally obvious that I was the girl on the picture yet why she still need to ask pa.

"Mukhang ikaw na nga... Hi! Ako pala yung sundo mo!" what? I look at her from foot to head again, looking at her closely while raising my brow.

Seriously? She is?

"You are?" is she just joking me around?

"Yup! Ito pa nga yung pa-cartolina ko oh!" then she showed me her cartolina paper with a written of "Welcome to the Philippines Khiya!!!"  like seriously? She really prepared it well.

"Pinadala ako dito ng boss ng Mama ko si Madamme Ehya para daw sunduin yung anak niya, so here ako" I just gave her a nod, she looks like telling the truth naman.

"By the way, I'm Carysse Vaniella Alzalde" she introduce herself.

"Hi. Nice to meet you—  wait Alzalde?" did I heard it right? Her surname was Alzalde?

"Yup Alzalde! At ako ang magiging guide/ kasama mo dito sa Pinas at magiging jafake na pinsan mo" wow, so my mother really settled or I say planned everything, as expected to her.

"Kyianna Aphrodite Valmoxa" I also introduce myself as well to her and smile genuinely.

  

I look at her from head to foot again and again, not that too bad to be my fake cousin. She's cute though.
