"Sab! What are you doing? You're spacing out again! look at these papers, it's all crumpled!" Naiinis na wika ni Jean kay Sab

"S-sorry Jean, I didn't know that Im already spacing out" Sabrina said. 

"Okay ka ba talaga? Ilang araw ka ng nawawala palagi sa sarili. Palagi kang tulala and you always want to be alone. Sab we're here, you can always count on us if you need help"

Napayuko si Sabrina, "I'm honestly not fine Jean, something is up on our house and I don't know how to handle it" she shared

Sab sighed and forced herself to smile, "but I know naman that everything will be okay. So let's not talk about it and proceed to our activity" wika niya para maiwasan na rin na mapagusapan ang problema niya sa bahay nila. 

Jean was about to say something when the school bell rang so they already pack their things and went to their first subject.

"Oh what's happening kuya Jem? Bakit ang busy nila Nanay Helen?" Sab asked when she saw their kasambahays na sobrang busy sa pag-aayos ng mga gamit sa bahay nila. 

"May mga bisita ata ang daddy mo, hindi ba niya nabanggit sayo?" Kuye Jem said, ang driver nila. 

"Parang may nabanggit si Daddy but I didn't know na ngayon iyon. If only I knew, sana late na akong umuwi or nagstay muna sana ako kila Jean for an overnight" she said before hopping out of their car. 

She walked inside their house and the maids immediately greeted her, Sab only smiled at them. 

"Napaaga ka ata Sab, nagmeryenda ka na ba? Anong gusto mong kainin?" Manang Helen asked her, their mayordoma. 

Sa lahat ng tao sa bahay nila, ito lang ata ang pinakaclose ni Sab. 

"I'm fine Manang, I just want to rest since my head is aching. Don't call me for dinner" wika niya. 

"Pero sabi ng daddy mo magprepare ka dahil may mga bisita kayong da—" hindi na natapos ang sinasabi ng matanda nang mapansin na tuloy tuloy na sa pagakyat ng hagdan ang alaga niyang si Sabrina. 

Napailing nalang ito at agad na naunawaan na ayaw makisalamuha ni Sabrina sa mga bisitang darating. 

Sabrina went inside her room and threw herself at her bed. She felt exhausted even though her day was just a normal day. 

"Whooo, how to escape here?" She murmured while facing her room's ceiling. 

She really wants to escape their house tonight. How could she forget this day na may darating na bisita ang daddy niya? Ayaw pa naman niya humarap sa mga tao kahit na kakilala naman na niya ang mga ito. She always feels uncomfy talking with people, she always prefers to be alone. 

Instead of thinking about how to escape she just forced herself to sleep para kahit tawagin siya ng daddy niya she could just reasoned out na she's sleep and not feeling well. 

Iritang irita si Sabrina nang marinig niya ang sunod sunod na pagkatakok sa kwarto niya. 

She's sleeping for goodness sake!

"Sab open the door!" She heard her father's voice outside her room

"What? I'm sleeping, I'm not feeling well!" She said in a loud voice.
