The Campus Queen Bee

Chapter 22: The Majestic Island

Juliane feel pained when she woke up. Bahagya nyang ipinikit ang mga mata and remained in bed for awhile. She silently observed the place which is new to her.

Where the hell I am? Where's the plane? Where's everybody and the... party? She thought.

She hurriedly go to the nearest window and .... Got shocked! A truly breathtaking view in her front! An untouched land and majestic waterfall on the side with big blocks of natural rocks on it and down there is the whole body of the water.

Am I too sleepy to missed all, even the plane's touch down? She asked to herself.

She reached the bathroom and decided to clean herself. Pagkatapos ay lumabas ng kwarto. Hindi na sya magtataka kung si Brandon ang nagdala sa kanya sa silid dahil wala naman ibang aalalay sa kanya kundi ito. She checked for every room she passed by. Alam nyang invasion of privacy ang ginagawa nya na iyon at labag na pinagbabawal pero curious sya at naghahanap sya ng tao to be precise, so she thought herself as an exemption.

The house is definitely huge and she found out that it has eight rooms including the master's bedroom which colors are in both feminine and masculine. The remaining rooms are in all neutral colors except the two rooms near her occupied room which both faces on the majestic falls. Its color is in deep aqua blue and the one is light gray. Everything on it was fantastic! Even the tiles and things that made up of woods are surely expensive. Duda sya kung may mga nag i-imprint pa ng mga ganoong tiles sa panahon ngayon. She was so sure that even bed on each rooms are antiques at maayos na namantini ng nagaalaga nito.

"Hello?" she said.

Pero walang sumagot sa kanya na kahit na sino. Nagpunta sya sa may kusina and found out that there's a food on the table. Fried dried squids and sunny-side-up eggs, hams, and fried rice and chopped tomatoes on the other side and fresh juices. Bahagya sya nakaramdam ng gutom.

"Hello there? ... Anyone's here?" she said.

She frowned when she found nothing. Lumabas sya ng bahay and to her dismay she found lots of mango trees near the house. Hindi naman sa hindi nya gusto ang mangga pero iba na ang kutob nya. She was sure as dead that she's in the Philippines. Hindi lang nya matukoy kung saan sa sulok sya ng Pilipinas naroroon. Pero kung ang pagbabasehan ay ang buong lugar, she was near davao or cebu. She wasn't sure!

Unti-unti na syang binabalot ng takot. Nasaan sya at paanong hindi nya namalayan ang pagpunta nya dito. Does Brandon deceived her? She shook her head with disbelief. No! She needs to do something. Galit na galit sya dito! Akmang babalik sya sa loob ng bahay ng makita nya ang isang pamilyar na bulto sa pinto nito na nakatayo at nakatitig maiigi sa kanya. Its two hands are on his 6 packet khaki shorts and wearing a plain black muscle shirt. She gasped while doing the assessment on his body.

"It's not the right time to stare and patronize the man in front of you, Juliane!" she thought.

"Do you know the old saying ''It's bad to stare?''" Brandon said.

"I thought we're friends! Then what the hell am I doing here in no-one-elses-knew-where-the-hell-is-this-place? She barked.

"Not all things are easily forgiven by just smile or by saying sorry, Juliane. And I want you to bare that on your small mind." Brandon said calmly sabay sa pagdidiin sa huling salita.

"And who are you to reprimand me? You are not even a relative or my father!" she fire back.

Hindi nya alam kung sakit ang nakita nyang nagdaan sa mga mata ni Brandon. She didn't know too why she said those words on him. Marahil ay galit sya.

"Yes. I'm not even a relative to you Ms. Ayala, but I happen to be the cousin of Martin so I promised him to take revenge." Brandon said calmly, holding his temper.
