"Shit! Spectres are here! I had to DO something.."
FAYE'S POV
FRIDAY morning as I did my usual routine, I heard someone yelled. Followed by some giggling noise. I did not care what they were talking but it was somewhat disturbing. They were whispering though they were like buzzing bees. Loud and bothersome.
"There's a ghost in the stockroom."
My forehead knotted. Did I hear it right? How come? I moved a little closer. Something caught my attention.
"So did she really see it?" The girl with thick glasses asked. "Gosh! That's scary. I'm sort of scared."
She nodded. "Ms. Quinto received a call from Mr. Santos to check the stockroom. So she went. She felt something strange as what she said so she examined the area. Sobrang dilim at tanging mga yabag lamang niya ang tanging maririnig. Nililingon niya ang bawat sulok ng lugar upang tiyaking ala ibang tao sa buong building. Sobrang tahimik ng paligid. Just the sound of nocturnal animals can be heard. But that was she thought.
She looked after every shelves where all necessities are placed. May napansin siyang kakaiba. May nakita siyang anino! Sinundan niya iyon hanggang makarating siya sa pinakadulong shelf."
Karamihan sa mga kasamahan niyang nakikinig ay seryosong nakamasid sa dalagang tagakwento. Halatang apektado sa sinasalaysay niya ngunit nagpapanggap lamang na matapang. Napapailing na lamang ako at patuloy na pasimpleng nakikinig.
Nagpatuloy siya sa kanyang kwento 'kuno ng kababalaghan'. "She was getting herself nearer and nearer." Palagum nang palagom ang tinig niya. "Until she heard something..."
"Then pagkatapos?" The chinky-eyed girl whom I did not know her name asked, waiting for an abrupt answer. Patience was out of her system. A tomboyish gal with braces. She was cute. "What happened?"
"Isang bagay ang bumagsak. Nagulatang siya. Napahawak sa dibdib. Sa sobra ba namang tahimik ay binundol ng kaba ang kanyang dibdib sa simpleng pagbagsak ng kung anong bagay. Agad tinungo ang bahagi ng stockroom kung saan may nalaglag. Sa hilaga kung saan naroon ang maliit na opisina ng warehouse checker.
Ngunit bago pa niya mapuntahan ang dulong shelf ay napansin niyang bukas ang mini office ng stockroom. There was someone sitting on Mr. Santos' chair." She suddenly paused and made an eye contact to everyone in her front.
"Who it was?" Another classmate of hers. Another person who was unnamed in my memory. She was playing her ponytail, swirling her hair. She was a beauty but I could see the brattiness in the way she acted and spoke. Another spoiled brat kid.
"The ghost?" This one was different. Matured look. She had portrayed herself beyond her age. She looked like a breadwinner and an achiever. Always desiring for great achievements. Just like my twin brothers.
"Oh it was Mr. Santos." She smiled wickedly. "That was she thought so she on called his name once, twice, thrice, reapetedly. But he did not respond. The mysterious guy was just sitting still and continuing on his paperworks. 'It felt wierd. Parang may mali.' saloob niya. At nakakaramdam na rin siya ng magkahalong inis at kaba. Ganunpaman muli niya itong tinawag. May halong authority."
The storyteller made a lower voice. "Then he stopped. He turned his head and said, 'Hello there Ms. Quinto..'"
No reaction from them. Someone was tapping her fingers on the armchair. Even I felt disappointed. I thought it was a ghost story.
