Zea was about to enter the secret hallway but the doorbell suddenly rang.
Lumapit siya sa cassette player at isinara ang lalagyan ng tape. Kaagad namang sumara secret door at muling nanumbalik ang shelf.
Nagtungo siya sa pinto at maingat na sinilip kung sino ang naroon.
"Tao po!"
Pinagmasdan niyang maigi ang dalawang dalaga sa harap ng gate bago niya binuksan ang pintuan.
"Good morning!" Bati sa kanya ng isa.
Lumapit siya sa gate para alamin ang pakay nito. Pero mabilis na nahagip ng kanyang mata ang jacket na suot ng mga ito.
Kapag sinuswerte ka nga naman.
The girls were wearing a white jacket with a black SIBS logo on its sleeves.
"Kung wala ka naman masyadong ginagawa baka puwedeng pumasyal ka sa event namin diyan sa kabilang kanto," wika ng isa saka mabilis na nag-abot ng flyers.
Zea's eyes narrowed towards the leaflet. "SIBS Bazaar?"
"Yes, we're having a bazaar right across the street. Sa harap ng commercial area. Malapit lang! It's actually for a charity cause. Lahat ng proceeds ay mapupunta sa mga sponsored students ng SIBS na nag-aaral sa AIC University."
"By the way nandiyan ba ang parents mo?" tanong ng isa pa.
Zea smiled. "No. I'm all alone"
"If you have time baka puwede kang sumaglit sa bazaar. There are lots of good stuffs there. Lahat ng products, arts and crafts gawa ng mga highly talented students na napag-aral ng SIBS Foundation."
She smirked. "Alright."
Wearing a red shirt, black jeggings and a pair of white sneakers. Zea went out of the house. Nakita niya na maraming tao na namimili sa bazaar.
Let's help other kids to have a bright future.
She reads the tagline on the huge tarpaulin in front of the bazaar.
Bright future my ass!
Pumasok si Zea sa loob. There are a lot of shops and products to choose from. Bawat estudyante may kanya kanyang shops. Kanya kanya rin ng gimik.
The Future Chemist Booth sells lotions, perfume, cosmetics etc. The Future Artists Booth sells paintings, art crafts, personalized things, printed shirts and jewelries. The Future Entrepreneurs sells everything! Food, drinks, gadgets and so much more. Sobrang festive ng bazaar. If she didn't know about the SIBS' Hidden issues. She would have thought that their intentions are very noble and sincere.
