The moment I'm done with my nails, nagpaalam na ako kay Millicent na aalis na. She was confused with my disposition kasi tesyonado ako pero hindi na rin naman siya nag usisa.
The four bodyguards I'm with took control of the situation. Alam na nga nila ang gagawin. Pagsakay ko ng kotse ay agad kaming umalis. Not in the direction of the Silverio manor but the far opposite direction.
Mga ilang oras ang biyahe namin bago kami tumigil sa isang hotel. They didn't let me check in, agad nila akong dinala sa isang floor at na realize kong meron na akong tutuluyan.
The room has one bed, table, closet, couch and a bathroom. The interior has the combination of white and brown color. Not big but it's spacious for one person so it's okay.
Balisa akong umupo sa kama ng hotel. Hindi ko alam saan matutulog ang mga bodyguard ko pero I'm sure they're going to watch this room. So I shouldn't be worried. Beside, ang layo ng hotel na ito sa mansion.
What I'm worried about was the woman mommy talked to during her call. The woman seems interested in me based on her tone. Who is she? Why would she be interested in me?
Sinikap kong alalahanin kong may na post ba si Millicent na picture namin pero wala naman. Wala rin naman akong nakikitang umaaligid sa akin na kahina hinala. So why would that woman be interested in me? Bakit ako hindi pinauwi ni Mommy?
And if ever Millicent accidentally post a picture of us, safe din yon kasi Instagram lang din ang social media na gamit niya. She removed her unknown followers at saka siya nag private account. So lahat ng naka follow lang sa kanya ay mga trusted people lang. So, the possibility of my picture leaking out is not an option.
Napakurap ako nang makitang tumawag si Mommy. Agad ko itong sinagot. My hands even trembled for anticipation.
"Mommy!"
"Sheona! Are you inside your hotel room?" she asked in a lower tone. Parang ayaw niyang may makarinig sa tawag niya.
"Opo. What happened? Bakit hindi ako sa mansion?"
Mommy sighed. "The party we attended invited influential people from the Philippines. Nakilala ako ng iilan sa guest kahit hindi ako active sa mga social gathering sa Manila," she trailed off. Natunugan ko ang irita sa boses niya. "Ang daldal din naman ng Mrs. Soriano na iyon!"
Nangunot ang noo ko. Mrs. Soriano? Mama ni Millicent? What did she do? Akala ko ba ayaw niyang nadi-disappoint ang mga Silverio?
"Mama ni Millicent, Mommy?" curios kong tanong.
I heard Daddy in the background calming her.
"Dinaldal niya kay Mrs. Guevera na may anak ako. That freak!" mataas na ang tono ni Mommy. Gone with the lower tone.
Pero matapos kong marinig ang sinabi ni Mommy, I felt a cold spread in me. Para akong binuhusan ng malamig na tubig.
Yong kanina pang balisa kong katawan ay mas lalo pang nanginig. I shifted my weight kasabay ng pag alon ng puso ko. I didn't expect Mommy to mention that surname.
Mrs. Guevera? Shit! What are the odds that Mrs. Guevera in that party is the same as Mrs. Guevera I know in the Philippines?
The party hosted Influential people in the Philippines. So, the possibilities are high, right?
I stood up and started to walked back and forth. "Mommy, asan kayo?" Natunugan ko ang takot sa boses ko. My heart started to beat herd against my chest.
"Nasa mansion, hija. Good thing I instructed Ferah to remove all your portraits bago kami dumating. It's not that we don't want you to be introduced to them, they are from the Philippines and I don't trust them with your safety."
