Reversed Realities (AMANDORA - AU)

Chapter 01

Ramdam ko agad ang tama ng sikat ng araw sa mukha ko kaya dahan-dahan kong binuksan ang mga mata ko.

Wait...

Is this... a double deck?

Kailan pa nagkaroon ng double deck sa kwarto ko?

Those were just few of the questions swirling around my mind. I glanced around the room only to realized that this is not my fucking room.

Since when did I changed my interiors?

This room is not my bedroom! This is the staff quarters. This isn't my room; it felt alien, like stepping into a distorted reflection of my life.

Why on earth am I here?!

Confused, I shot out of bed, a wrong decision that instantly led to a painful encounter with the upper bunk.

"Aray!" malakas na sigaw ko nang maumpog ang ulo ko sa deck. Agad akong napaupo pabalik habang hinihimas ang ulo ko.

Kahit pa masakit ang ulo ko ay agad akong lumabas ng kwarto. My eyes were roaming around the mansion, it was disturbingly quite.

The interior designs, the paintings, the furnitures were all... dark. My eyes got the attention of the nude sculpture of David by Michaelangelo. I gasped in shocked.

This is so expensive! How did such an artwork end up here? I mean, I can afford but I never got the chance to buy this in the museum.

Gulong-gulo ako habang isa-isang pinagmamasdan ang kakaiba sa mansion ko. The chandeliers were giving dark vibes which brought creep in my system. My eyes landed on the extreme huge portrait hanged on the wall. My eyebrow arched in confusion.

"Amando?! Kailan ko pa sinabit ang pagmumukha mo diyan?" I exclaimed to myself, full of disbelief and confusion.

I glanced at the other smaller portrait but what confused me the most was the glaring absence of my own image. Para bang wala akong lugar sa aking sarili kong tahanan.

I couldn't understand a thing. Everything was confusing me so I decided to stepped outside. My jaw dropped when I saw a lot of staff. Mas marami sila, I could only see few maids. I took a walk near them, mas naguluhan ako nang wala ni isang bumati sa akin.

This rude people!

Everything is not clear to me. Nang mapatingin ako sa bahay ni Kuya Galvan I noticed something was off in his world too. But what made my heart race was the sight of my mansion—transformed into a shadow of its former self.

"What in the fucking fuck happened to my mansion!" I exclaimed, heart racing. The realization strucked me like a thunderbolt.

"Ma'am, ayos ka lang?" my attention diverted to Rico.

"Rico, what the hell happened here?! Bakit naging ganito ang bahay ko? And the designs sa loob? Bakit naging ganon? And the staff? Bakit ganyan? Bakit ang dami nila?!" my questions tumbled out in a hysteria.

"Po?" he looked puzzled, turning to survey the mansion and the staff. "Wala namang nagbago, Ma'am."

Frustration bubbled within me, and I shook my head, massaging my temples. "This is not right!"

I retreated back inside, up to the third floor, my heart pounding with each step. When I entered my bedroom, I turned the lights on, only to gasp once more.

My bed was there, familiar yet cloaked in darkness. My personal belongings were also transformed, draped in ominous hues that felt foreign.

What happened to my fucking bedroom?!

My bedsheet, my blanket and pillows. My curtains, my sofa, everything inside were... dark.

My eyes fell upon a picture frame on the side table, revealing Amando's face, He's in a suit, looking straight at the camera with a smirk on his lips. He looked somewhat... hot.

"Since when I got obsessed with you?!" I tossed the frame down, frustration morphing into confusion.

Determined to find clarity, I made my way to my office. But instead of chaos, I found it surprisingly tidy, an uncanny detail in my otherwise disorganized life. A scent lingered, a masculine fragrance that sent shivers down my spine.

"Kailan pa 'ko gumamit ng panlalaking pabango?" I murmured, scanning the room.

I sat on my office chair and decided to finish my work. I read the documents which gave me more confusion. It discusses something different. I frantically flipped the pages until I read the CEO's name.

Amando Namas
NMC- CEO

"What?!" I exclaimed, I flipped the front page and saw what I shoud never see.

Namas Mining Corporation

"Putang ina, ano 'to?!" I shouted, my voice echoing in the surreal stillness.

Just then, the door creaked open, revealing the man whose presence ignited chaos in my life. He stood there, exuding authority but with an unexpected softness in his gaze.

"Gising ka na pala." he said as if awakening from a dream that was most natural thing in my world.

My world was spiraling out of control, and with that one sentence, I knew I was caught in a web of secrets, memories, and a reality that was no longer my own.

What had happened while I was asleep, and why was Amando at the heart of it all?
