Isabela
Free
My eyes widened upon hearing what Julianna said. By those words she whispered, I was certain that she knew me. She took her steps backwards now while smiling at me, communicating through my eyes. I couldn't be wrong about it, she was my brother's girlfriend.
"Ah, Kianna? Saan ba ang CR nyo?" She asked. I was alerted by that when she moved her eyes, trying to tell me something.
"Saan ba, Isabela?" Kianna asked.
I cleared my throat right now. "Ahm, tara samahan na kita!"
"Huwag na, Isabela. The helpers will do that." She stopped me from doing it. I saw how Ate Julie's face lost hope.
"Ah, no, Kianna. Ako na, aakyat din naman ako sa taas dahil may kukunin ako." I explained. Kianna wasn't satisfied with my response, she was somehow doubtful.
"Okay! I'll just wait here!" She replied.
Ate Julie let out a huge amount of air. "Tara na, Julie. I'll guide you."
"Okay, Isabela." She smilingly said.
We started walking in the grand staircase while still not talking to each other. There were guards in each corner of the house, the helpers also were scattered. Bantay sarado talaga ako. Before we got into the platform, the guards blocked us.
"Excuse me, Maam. You're restricted to go upstairs!" One guard told her.
"No, she's my friend. She's just going to use the CR!" I politely responded.
"Yeah, we're friends!" She added.
Nagbulongan pa ang mga guwardya bago kami pina akyat sa taas. We started walking by the hallway, she kept looking anywhere especially the CCTVs.
"Bakit mo ako kilala?" I started asking her as we walked.
"Mamaya na sa CR!" She responded. Umiikot ang CCTV sa bahay, that's why she made sure she won't get hit by the camera.
We successfully got inside the huge bathroom that's why I locked the door immediately. Dali-dali syang nag inspect kung saan, I was so eager to ask her why she asked to meet me here.
"Ate Julie ikaw ba 'yan?" I spoke up. She immediately hushed me down.
"Oo, Isabela. Ako 'to, ang asawa ng Kuya Dahn mo." She whispered. She turned the faucet on so we wouldn't be heard while talking. My eyes widened when my gut was right.
"Ate! What happened? Bakit ako nandito? Sabi ni Aiden may schizophrenia ako at amnesia." I whispered while so eager to know the truth.
"Wala kang schizophrenia, Isabela. Amnesia hindi ko alam, na aksidente ka sa Marci Alli." She responded habang hinawakan ang kamay ko.
"What? So what's all of these?!" I asked infuriatingly. "Te, please get me out of here, please."
"Oo, Isabela. Itatakas kita dito! Bibisitahin kita lagi dito hanggang sa makahanap ako ng paraan na maitakas ka." She assured me hope.
Nangiti ako sa kaba at sa saya. "Ate, ilang taon na ako dito? Ilang taon na ba ang nakalipas?"
"Dalawang taon palang bago mangyari ang lahat. Mahabang istorya, Isabela."
"How about mom and dad? Asan sila?" Nagmamadali kong tanong.
"Nasa America sila, kontrolado ng mga Florentino ang kilos nila. Hindi nila alam kung saan ka kaya naghanap kami ng paraan ng Kuya mo," Sobrang lamig ng kamay nya ngayon.
