Santillian Series 1: Santillian in Distress

SD 7

South's

I've been thinking for countless minutes since the Dean's pupil named Asher dropped me off dito sa Mall walking all by myself. It was so different not having Lance with me, it may sound clichè but Lance is my self-declared guy best friend. My phone was vibrating so I answered it, hearing our Padre de Familia from the other line

"Papa? Why'd you call me, is something wrong? How's Mom?"

"Sorry for the call sweety, I just want to ask you kung nagpadala na ang legal father mo. Your mom saw your atm card, is there any problem?"

"Oh no Papa, I'm good" I lied. Buhay pa naman ako kahit hindi ako buwan buwan sinusutentuhan pero ngayong linggo alam ko nagpadala si Papa--my lifeblood father

"Are you sure? I sent some money for you in case you didn't notice. That's it sweety, take care of yourself" Then I heard Mom squeeled a 'bye' as I hang up

Papa was our lawful father from Mom, he's a Spaniard kasal sila pero ni-isa sa Santillian Sisters ay hindi tunay niyang anak, baog si Papa pero kahit ganon ay tinuring parin niya kaming tunay na mga anak. He acted as one, so did we. We even had his surname dahil nga marital sila ni Mama. He was the most solicitous father we--sisters ever had compared sa tunay na mga ama namin. That's what I thought, I'm just not sure kung ganun din ang iniisip nila

I roamed for hours and withdraw some cash para sa allowance ko. All this time while wandering around the Public Mall si Lance ang laman ng isip ko, bawat dadaanan ko naiisip ko, siya. All faces seemed to be him. He was the focus of my visual

I lost my strength and unintendedly slip few shopping bags from my hand when I saw them. Love ba talaga 'to? Ganito ba talaga ang nagagawa ng love? Nakakalimutan ang mga taong sobrang imporatante sakaniya, nakalimutan na kung sino talaga ang priority niya ganoon ba kasama ang pagmamahal? Bakit parang naniniwala na ko na bad influence talaga ang Love? Dahil ba apektado ako? Bakit nga ba kasi ako nagpapa apekto, una palang naman alam ko na kung ano ang mga posibilidad kaya hindi na ako para mag kunwaring clueless sa mga pangyayari. Feelings are sh*ts, I don't want to care but my feelings are concern

"Here" nagulat nalamang ako nang may mag-abot ng shopping bag ko na nailaglag sakin. It was Asher "I know what kind of stare your giving them, that's not love because love is patient, kind and understanding. That Little miss, what you're seeing is infatuation and fear of loosing attention"

"Now you're stalking me?" I kidded and he gave me his gape look and his eye brows high at sight

"So full of yourself Miss Santillian D' Fourth" napakunot ako sa bansag niya sakin na tila na naguguluhan ko siyang pinag masdan. Does he have some telepathy skills or what?

"Whatever" I rolled my eyes as continue on walking but my mind and peripheral sight still perceive on Lance's and Phoebe's state without then knowing. Sobrang saya na nila, I heard her laugh her ass out like a bitch. Pero ano nga ba magagawa ko, society had ruled over me knowing I am someone who is powerless

Matapos mag ala-spy nila Lance at Phoebe I realized I look like a dummy following them around as I notice every single exploit they do. Nang makarating ako sa bahay, I immediately search for the album but it was no where to be found.

"Yun na nga lang makakapag cheer up sakin nawawala pa" Sinilip ko din to sa labas pero wala talaga, hanggang sa nakauwi lahat ng kapatid ko at nag tulong tulong kami sa paghahanap. Pero wala talaga, sabi ni North ipag pabukas ko na daw kaya naman sinubukan kong ikalma ang aking kalooban

"South wakie" Nakaramdam ako ng umuuga sa balikat ko ngunit tinalikudan ko lamang to knowing it was East. As what I've said, knowing East she won't stop bugging me unless I attend to what she wants
