Playful Haptic #3

CHAPTER THREE

Flashback Part 2

Ella Victoria Everette's Point of View

We were silent in the whole ride until we reached our mansion. The huge gate opened and Soren drove the car in the driveway until we reached the main door. He then stopped the car. Napatingin kami sa isa't isa.

"Thank you for the ride. Gusto mo bang pumasok muna?" Alok ko sa kaniya. Umiling lang siya sa akin at ningitian. Tumango lang ako dahil hindi ko naman siya mapipilit na tumuloy muna. Isa pa, gabi na rin at delikado.

"Okay, see you tomorrow then. Ingat sa pagd-drive," I then said and he just smiled at me.

"I will, see you tomorrow, Evie," he replied. Tinanggal ko na ang pagkakakabit ng seatbelt ko at binitbit ang bag ko. I opened the door and I stepped out of the car. Bago ako pumasok ay kumaway muna ako kay Soren na kumaway rin sa akin pabalik. Hinintay ko siya hanggang sa makalayo ang minamaneho niyang sasakyan.

Pagkaalis niya ay umakyat na ako at nagbukas ang pinto. Pumasok ako at nadatnan ko sina Dad na tumatawa sa living room. Mukhang may pinapanood silang nakatatawa dahil rinig ko ang lakas ng flat screen TV namin. I made my way to the living room to greet them.

When they saw me, they smiled at me. Lumapit ako sa kanila at hinalikan sa pisngi.

"Soren drove me home," inunahan ko na sila sa pagtatanong. Tumango lang sila sa akin. Napatingin ako sa pinapanood nila. It's one of Dolphy's movie. Kapagkuwa'y binalik ko ang tingin ko sa kanila.

"Mom, Dad, mauuna na po akong matutulog," I said. Tumango lang sila sa akin.

"Goodnight, darling," Dad spoke and I hugged them both. Pagkatapos n'on ay umakyat na ako sa grand staircase. Although nakapapagod ang pag-akyat dito pero nasanay na ako dahil dito ako lumaki kaya parang baliwala lang sa akin ang mahaba naming hagdanan.

As I reached the second floor, I made my way to my room. I opened the door and switch the lights on. A chandelier were hanging on the ceiling that gives light on my whole room. A lamp is at my nightstand near my black and white queen-sized bed with trundle. 2 long pillows sits on the top of my bed behind a small, dark square pillow.

Above the bed hangs a large wall clock and on my bedside table is a small alarm clock. I also had a study table that has my laptop on top of it and an orange lamp. I also had a mini library on the opposite door of my walk-in closet that has my books, especially, about vet.

The interior of my room is designed luxury. A pictures of me during my kindergarten days up to college were displayed on the left side of my wall. Together with my laminated medals, ribbons and certificates. Some of my pictures were taken when I always join and won a pageant. I have a shelves for my trophies and sash.

Pabagsak akong umupo sa couch ko na kapares ng kama ko. I have a mini living room here in my room. Actually, I have a kitchenette too with a mini fridge, a pantry that has my snacks and coffee maker.

Inilapag ko bag ko sa coffee table ko at binuksan iyon. Kinuha ko mula roon ang business card na binigay sa akin ni Soren. I opened my phone and saved his number on my contact lists. I immediately texted him so that he can saved my number too.

To Soren:

Hi, this is Evie. Kindly save my number too, thanks and goodnight.

From Soren:

Noted. Goodnight.

Wala sa sarili akong napangiti sa ni-reply niya. It's just a simple message but my heart started to pound because of it. I was about to type a reply but I chose to exited my inbox. Baka natutulog na siya kaya hindi ko na siya iistorbohin. Kinuha ko na ang handbag ko at tumayo.
