ISLA AMORE || Vicerylle

Chapter 5 : Le Freak

=======================

The sun's rays on her face woke her up. She slowly opened her eyes and squinted at the glaring light. She then tried to block the bright light with her hand and slowly sat up in bed.

Karylle's POV : OMG.....I forgot to close the window last night......What time is it? (She turned to take a look at the clock sitting on top of the bedside table. 6:45 AM.  I need to get up now. Get moving Karylle...(she scolded herself) It's a new day. New beginnings.

She got up and went to the bathroom and looked at herself in the mirror. Isang mukha na puno ng black streaks from her mascara which she forgot to take off last night  ang tumambad sa kanyang harapan. She looked closely at herself at inaming namumugto na mga mata nya sa kakaiyak kagabi. Ang buhok nya naman ay magulo na parang dinaanan ng bagyo. She ran her fingers through her hair para ayusin to then tied it loosely into a bun.

Karylle : Congratulations Kay! You look horrible. Way to start the first day of your so-called new beginnings.

Suot suot ni Kay ang daster na pinahiram sa kanya ni Aling Fe na obviously pagmamay-ari ng iba dahil malaki ito para sa kanya. Naiwan kasi yung baggage nya sa Bacolod-Silay airport. Nagkaroon ng problema sa transfer ng mga bagahe at na late ito ng dating. Buti na lang yung maliit na suitcase ay daladala nya at nasa kanya ngayon yung ibang personal na gamit nya.

She decided na maghilamos at mag toothbrush lang muna then bababa para tanungin si Aling Fe about sa bagahe nya kung nakarating na ito. She turned the faucet on pero walang tubig na lumabas. She then tried the shower tap on pero wala din. Nandoon pa naman sa isang bag niya na naiwan sa airport yung ibang toiletries niya lalo na yung face wipes which she really needed right now. Such bad luck, naubos niya kasi yung wet wipes sa small bag na dala dala niya.

Karylle : ( she threw her hands up in the air in exasperation) Uuuuuughhhh......Now what?.............What else could go wrong today.......I should have taken that shower last night...Blame me for being lazy...

She decided to go downstairs para hanapin si Aling Fe. The vacation house was huge, two storey.  May limang kwarto sa taas at tatlo naman sa baba. May malaking veranda sa taas overlooking the sea. May malaking swimming pool pa sa likuran ng bahay. Magara at moderno yung pagkagawa ng bahay na parang nasa resort ka. Kumpleto din ito sa gamit. Ito ang ginawang bahay bakasyonan ng pamilya ni Yna.

The whole house was quiet. Inisip ni Kay na baka nasa may kitchen si Aling Fe nagpiprepare ng breakfast. Her stomach growled. Biglang nagutom sya. Wala kasi siyang kinain kahapon mula ng nakarating sya dito sa isla. Gabi na nung dumating sila kaya kumain  lang sya ng konti,  nagbihis then nahiga na sa pagod at umiyak na buong gabi. Naaalala nya ang nakaraan at  yung yaya niya, si Nanay Rosa, lalo na nung bumisita sya sa puntod nito kahapon.

There was nobody in the kitchen. Bigla nyang naalala na nagpaalam sa kanya kahapon yung mag-asawa na caretaker ng bahay na aalis ng maaga para kunin yung bagahe nya. "They will probably be back around noontime" sabi pa niya sa sarili. She decided to fix herself a quick meal. Karylle opened the refrigerator door at tiningnan kung ano puede nyang gamitin sa pagluto at kainin. Naghanap na din sya ng kaldero para makapagluto na. Buti na lang even at a young age she was already independent kahit may yaya siya. She knows how to cook and do household chores. She felt pride in herself for doing so.

==============================

Vice opened his eyes and stared straight at the ceiling above him. He did not recognize it.

Vice's POV : Asan ako? Ano nangyari ?

He tried to get up but the sudden pain in his head stopped him from doing so.
