GETTING TO KNOW MS. ANGER | MaColet

YVES

"Wake up, we're here na." I heared the voice na sinamahan pa ng mahinang pagtap sa cheeks ko.

Humikab pa ako at nag-inat bago bumaba ng sasakyan.

As soon as I stepped outside, I was mesmerized by the place. A mansion? Mas malaki ito sa bahay namin, at mula dito sa kinatatayuan ko, kitang-kita ko ang malawak na pool.

"Pasok na tayo sa loob, gusto ko ng matulog" I heard her say, followed by a yawn.

I glanced over at her and kita ang pagod at antok sa kanyang mukha.

"Where are we?" I asked her matapos niyang buksan ang main entrance door na pagkalaki.

"Bohol" she answered, halatado na rin sa boses niya ang pagod.

Nanlaki ang mga mata ko. "What? Ilang oras ang byahe niyan mula Manila ah!"

"Sabi mo diba, dalhin kita sa malayo. Tapos ngayon magrereklamo ka?" she shot back, her tone slightly annoyed.

"I'm not complaining na dito mo ako sa Bohol dinala. I'm complaining dahil napagod ka. Dapat nag-airplane tayo" nag aalalalang paliwanag ko.

Tumigil siya sa paglalakad at humarap sakin. "Do you really think na wala dong tauhan ang daddy mo?" she asked, raising an eyebrow.

Her words made me pause, realizing she had a point. But I just shrugged it off at nagpatuloy sa paglalakad.

"Kaninong bahay 'to?" I asked, habang nililibot ang tingin ko sa paligid. It was looked well-maintained, giving off a warm and welcoming vibe.

Napaka-cozy at halatang hindi napapabayaan.

She cleared her throat before answering. "Rest house ni Shawn"

Ah rest house pala wait- Shawn? parang pamilyar yung name.

"Shawn?" I repeated, trying to place where I'd heard it before.

"Catacutan. You know him? Kilala ka kasi niya."

I knew it- kaya familiar ang name.

"Older brother ng friend ko, si Sheena" I finally remembered.

She just hummed in response as she led me further into the house.

As we reached the second floor, agad na nakuha ng malawak na hallway ang aking atensyon.

To my left, there were four plain doors. They looked ordinary, almost like any other doors you'd see in a house.

Pero ang talagang umagaw ng atensyon ko ay ang isang pintuan sa right side. Hindi ko mapigilang titigan ang mga iyon-the door, painted in a shimmering gold. I think this is the master bedroom.

"I have a rule here" naputol ang pag-iisip ko nang magsalita siya, at agad akong napalingon sa kanya.

Itinuro niya yung pintuan na kanina ko pa tinitingnan and her expression turning serious.

"Don't you dare na lumapit or magtangkang pumasok sa room na 'yan" she warned, habang ang mga mata niya'y seryosong nakatingin sa akin.

"Noted" nakangiting tumango ako.

Nagpatuloy kami sa paglalakad. She led me to the first door on the left side at dahan-dahang binuksan ito.

"This is your room" she said, habang tumatabi para bigyan ako ng daan.

I stepped inside and was immediately enveloped in a sense of comfort. The room was elegantly furnished, with a not-so-large bed covered in plush bedding and soft pillows.
