Chapter 11

Thursday, December 15. A day before our Christmas Ball. Hindi na kami pinapasok today para daw makapagpahinga at makapagready kami.

Wala ako masyadong ginawa. Ni-ready ko na lang ang mga accessories na gagamitin ko and yung heels na dadalhin ko. I also prepared the gift na balak kong ibigay kay Cole tomorrow.

9:18 pm. I went sa terrace namin sa 2nd floor. Kanina pa ako may uneasy feeling about some things. Kaya I went to the terrace para magpahangin muna. It was very dark na sa labas, only the moon and the street lights are the only things that light up this dark evening. As I was staring at nothing. I felt the uneasy feeling again. I don't know why... but I felt it. I looked around. Wala naman. But why do I get the feeling that someone is watching me? Hmm... Wala naman siguro kaya I shoved off that feeling at pumasok nalang sa loob at pumunta sa living room.

I saw ate there watching. "Hey ate" I said boringly that made ate Liz look at me.

"Something wrong?"

"Nope. I'm alright. I just feel uneasy these past few hours... I guess I'm just nervous for tomorrow's event"

"Yeah. Estoy seguro de que no es nada" (I'm sure it's nothing)

"Anyways aren't you going to sleep na ate? It's already 9:30?" I asked

"Oh yeah. Sige tataas na din ako. I'll clean up lang" she said

"Sure" I said then went up na.

I was walking upstairs papuntang room ko when nakasalubong ko si dad.

"Hey Avy..."

"Dad" I said, then hugged him. I really am super glad that they treat me as their own child.

"How are you anak?"

"I'm fine" I said in a sad voice.

"Okay if you say so. But just remember your mom, ate liz, and I love you. Okay? Kahit we're not bound by blood. Pamilya mo kami... " Dad said, reassuring me.

"I know that dad. And kaya nga mahal na mahal ko kayo nina ate kasi you love me kahit di nyo ko tunay na anak" I said habang nakayakap pa din kay dad.

With that I went to go na sa room ko para matulog na din since I'll have to go ready pa for the ball tomorrow. 5pm pa naman yung Christmas ball but ayaw kong natataranta kaya gigising na din ako ng maaga.

Humiga na ako pero I can't sleep because I felt uneasy again. I stared at the ceiling of my room for like a couple of minutes tapos nakatulog na ako.

"Ahhh" I woke up in the middle of the night, screaming. My heartbeat is so fast. Tinignan ko kung anong oras na.

It's 3:18 am, nagising ako dahil there is something in my dream that made me feel strange?

I can barely remember it. Pero I saw a man take a little baby from a hospital. Tapos... tapos... may mga nagsisigawan na mga tao. Who is this man? Anong kinalaman nito sakin? Ah! Sh*t what is happening to me?!

Inalis ko na lang yun sa isip ko at natulog na lang ulit.

Nagising ako dahil naririnig kong medyo maingay sa baba. Chineck ko kung anong oras na kasi medyo mataas na din ang sikat ng araw. 10 am na?! Dahil don nagmadali akong bumangon para bumaba. Medyo masakit yung katawan ko ah. Ewan ko kung bakit... Pero dahil nga natataranta na ko dahil tanghali na kong nagising di ko nalang inintindi yung sakit ng katawan ko.

Pagbaba ko nakita ko si ate na tinutulungan si mom na magprepare ng lunch.

"Tinanghali ka ata ng gising ah?" Ate said as she noticed me running down the stairs.
