The President's Daughter (Major Editing)

Chapter 75 - Open

Aiah's POV:

Everything happened so fast. Nung nakaraan nasa room lang kami ni Gwen, hinihintay itong magising. Ngayon naman kay Colet. Hays mukhang magro-room tour kami sa mga nangyayari.

Gwen: "The exhibition game is near na din. 3 weeks nalang. Gustong-gusto pa naman ni ate Colet maglaro kaso..." Sambit nito at hindi na itinuloy.

Nakapalibot kami sa bed ni Colet. Sheena is beside the edge of the bed, holding the patient's hand.

While on the other side, it was Mikha who's sitting on the floor while resting her head on the bed. Catching some sleep while holding the other hand of Colet.

Tiredness and worry were evident on her face. Her lips were dry na para bang hindi na ito umiinom ng tubig o kumakain. She's too young to be surrounded by huge and clouded thoughts. She's been stressing herself. I have to find a way to at least get her out of her thoughts.

Stroking her hair, making sure that my fingers passed through every strand. Caressing her thick eyebrows that makes her look cold and intimidating. Holding her cheek, amazed at how well it fit as if it was made for my hand.

Jhoanna: "Hulog na hulog ate Aiah?" She said and I just nod absentmindedly, busy on adoring Mikhaela's gorgeous face.

Maloi: "Tinamaan nga ang loka." She said and chuckled, amazed by what I'm acting.

"Oh bakit? Hindi rin ba kayo ganito?" Pambabara ko sa mga ito.

Sheena: "Excuse me, ate Aiah. Marunong kaming magpakipot noh."

Stacey: "So true."

Jhoanna: "Haaa? Eh 'di ba tangi ganoon ka sa'kin kagab---" She was about to say something but the latter cut her off.

Stacey: "Sige ituloy mo. Ikaw mahahampas ko ng baseball bat." Pagbabanta nito kaya natawa kami. 

"Marupok ka din naman pala eh." Pang-aasar ko rito kaya inirapan ako nito.

Maloi: “At least hindi kami maharot kahit walang label! Kayo nga eh, mukha na kayong mag-asawa! Check the label bestie!” She teasingly said kaya I just sticked my tongue out. How will I defend myself kung totoo sinasabi nila?! Ganoon na ba kami ka-obvious ni Mikha?

Then silence enveloped us.

Gwen: “Guys, pwede bang wala nang lalabas sa atin. Mukhang iniisa-isa tayo eh.” She said habang tulala sa dalagang nakahiga at walang malay.

Jhoanna: “Magpapadagdag na rin ako ng guards kay Tito John sa paligid ng bahay. Or more of sundalo na ipaparequest ko para secured tayo.” She suggested which we agreed due to our observation that we are being targeted one-by-one.

Maloi: “Ate Aiah, ikaw na bahala kay Mikhs, mukhang wala talaga siyang balak magshare sa'tin. Kung ayaw niya, paki-alagaan nalang siya.” Nag-aalalang tanong nito.

Stacey: “Yes, ate Aiah. Mukhang sa'yo lang makikinig 'yan eh. Sinusubukan naman naming patawanin 'yan kaso mukhang mas marami siyang dinadala kesa sa bilang na mga tawa niya.” She also added and I just moved my head up and down as a response.

Sheena: “Mga Ates, pwede bang rest muna tayo sa school works? Masyado na tayong stressed, okay lang naman siguro kahit mag-summer class tayo 'di ba?” Tanong nito na siyang pinagkatinginan ng lahat.

“Yeah, I think we should rest our minds din especially now that our lives are at risk.” I said and they agreed with Sheena's suggestion.

Gwen: “Yes, the best way to be safe and to not lose a lot of lives lalo na yung mga nagpoprotect sa atin.” She said also concerned about the guards who have been injured during Gwen's torture incident.
