Witch List

Chapter 3

I'm walking at the hallway. Papunta ako ngayon sa klase ko. I'm already wearing their uniform ibinigay na ito saakin ni Taranee kahapon and so you know hindi ko sila kasama sa room dahil kumpleto na raw sila at hindi na ako pwede roon, at mag-isa lang ako sa room na na-assign saakin which is on my favor.

The thing I like here in Chimera is that people won't talk on your back. They wouldn't glare their eyes on you or look at you in a menacing way. They know the words privacy and respect, unlike om my previous school.

Maybe they are curious, base narin sa mga tingin nila kahapon pero hindi nalang nila ipinapahalata. I know they have a lot of questions like me pero mas pinili nilang manahimik. They may not be interested or they have hidden agendas hindi ko alam.

Papunta ako sa klase ko pero hindi ko naman alam kung saan 'yon. Napabuntong hininga ako at naglakad lakad nalang, pinagmamasdan ang paligid. Untill now I really can't believe that I am here, that I have given the privilege to experience this spectacular adventure.

Sometimes when I am looking at the mirror and see my imperfections I always asks myself that 'Of all people why is this kind of imperfections given to me?' but now I already found the answer. It is because, your imperfections will determine who you really are, anyone can be beautiful in and out but there is one thing that will stand you out, it is your flaws. I may not be like those queen bees and famous one, I may not be as beautiful as them, I may not be as good as them but I have my imperfections who leads me where am I now. People think reading those novels is not worth my time and it just makes me a looser and a loner but I can say It is worth, believe me it is. It's worth the time and effort.

A melancholy music suddenly filled the air. Who's playing that sound? Who ever the person behind the music might have felt a true pain.

It's coming from a violin, I'm sure of that. 
 
Sinundan ko kung saan nanggagaling ang musika.
I stopped from a glass door, pero hindi ko makita kung sino ang nasa loob dahil natatakpan ito ng kulay cream at makapal na kurtina. Marahil ay hindi soundproof ang kuwarto dahilan kung bakit naririnig ang tunog na nanggagaling dito.

Unti-unti ko itong binuksan habang unti-unti ring humihina ang musika. Sa pagbukas ko ng pinto ay siya ring pagtatapos ng musika.

Asaan na siya? Isang piano sa gitna at violin na nakapatong dito ang laman lamang ng kuwarto at isang upuan. Tumingin ako sa paligid at baka may iba pang pinto ngunit walana. Dumako ang aking paningin sa nakabukas na bintana kung saan pumapasok ang hangin. Dahan-dahan akong naglakad papunta roon, tumingin ako sa ibaba at hindi naman ganoon kataas kaya maaring dito siya dumaan.

No wonder why the air smells like flowers. Taniman pala ng mga bulaklak sa ibaba. Ang ganda, punung-puno ng iba't-ibang uri ng mga bulaklak. Roses, Lavenders, Sweet Alyssums, Sweet Peas, Jasmines, Lily of the valley, Chocolate Cosmos, Freesia, Violets, Lilac at marami pang iba.

"It looks like the valley of flowers in India." Wala sa sariling nasambit ko. I'm just wondering if how does some of the flowers are copping with the weather. Ang iba kasi ay sa ibang bansa lang nabubuhay.
"Maybe they use sort of magic."  Hindi naman na nakapagtataka. 

"Indeed it is, and you're right we use magic in those plants." Nagulat ako sa biglang nagsalita. A middle aged woman is standing beside me. Ni hindi ko manlang naramdaman ang presensiya niya. I can say maganda siya, kahit matanda na at medyo kulubot na ang balat makikita parin ang karikitang kaniyang taglay. Maputi narin ang kaniyang mga buhok pero ni hindi
manlang ito nakabawas sa kagandahan niya, sa aking pananaw mas nababagay pa nga ito.

"Done checking me out lady?" Malumanay na pagkakasabi niya at sinabayan niya ng tawa. Hindi ko namalayan na kanina pa pala ako nakatitig sakaniya.
"Ahm.. I'm sorry, I was just shocked. Kanina pa po ba kayo?" Shocked Aurora, really? What a lame excuse.
