THE AVENGED OF LALISA MANOBAN

20 - VISITOR

Lisa's POV...

It's already summer, and we don't have classes anymore.

I'm excited because Irene is coming here. I miss her even though she's grumpy.

I went to the mountain to call her. I usually go there when I have free time to call her because I know she misses me. Who wouldn't miss me, right? Hehe.

As for Jennie, she always texts and calls me, but I don't answer because I just don't want to. In the past few days, I can say that I'm okay now. It seems like I don't feel anything for her anymore, and I hope it stays that way, hehe.

I've gotten used to being back here at our place. I'm not bored anymore. I enjoy taking care of the animals on the farm and hanging out with my cousin Kai.

After about a month, she also arrived from another country. Yes, they're wealthy, but I'm not envious. I'm content with what I have, with Papa and our farm.

And now, I'm heading back to the mountain to call Irene. She said she's coming this week, so I'll call her to ask when exactly so I can prepare their accommodation and also prepare some food for them with Papa.

When I arrived, I immediately took my handkerchief and wiped the sweat off my face.

I quickly called Irene, but she didn't answer. Why doesn't this grumpy girl want to answer the phone? It's a shame that I came here.

I called her again, but still no answer. To not waste my trip here, I just watched videos on the internet while lying down.

"Hmm, fresh air," I whispered to myself, closed my eyes, and put my phone in my pocket.

 -----

I didn't realize I fell asleep.

It's getting dark, so I quickly walked down the mountain.

Was I that tired that I fell asleep?

I ran back home because it was already night when I arrived.

When I entered, I saw Papa standing outside, so I approached him, scratching my head.

"Hehe, Papa," I said, and I saw him look at me.

" Where have you been? You just came home now, and you haven't even come home for lunch," he said, I'm scratching my forehead.

"Sorry, Papa, I just fell asleep up on the mountain," I said, while avoiding his gaze.

"Next time, don't fall asleep there. You're still a girl, something might happen to you," he said, shaking his head.

"Okay, Papa, sorry," I said and did a peace sign.

"Oh, let's go inside, you have a visitor," he said, so I was puzzled.

"A visitor? Is it Irene?"

So, I quickly ran inside the house to see who it was, but when I entered and saw the visitor, I was stunned.

"Why is she here?

How does she know our house?

What is she doing here?

"Why are you here?" I asked Jennie, who was sitting on the wooden sofa.

"Why are you here? I didn't say you could come here," I said.

"Ah, I-I miss you--"

"Go home," I said to her, as Papa entered and spoke up.

"Go and let her sleep in your room. You didn't tell me you had a visitor, and we don't have another room for her to sleep in. You know our house is small," he said to me, so I just sighed deeply.
