CHAPTER 2:
JANE'S P.O.V.
I was opening the note I saw from the abandoned cabinet and all I can see was a chaotic 14 letters. It took me a couple of minutes before I distinguished what was written. "Sa likod ng bahay" yaan ang nakasulat. I felt a strong wind passes through the opened windows of my room, I was having goosebumps and really felt my heart beats fast. I can't totally explain what was I feeling. I went to the comfort room and again I saw a note na may naka lagay na "Be careful".
I'm clueless on what I had discovered. Hinayaan ko nalang yung mga nangyareng yun at inisip na coincidence lang lahat ng nangyare pero sa totoo lang medyo kinakabahan ako, nilibang ko nalang sarili ko sa ibang bagay pero hindi nagtagal bumalik yung pagka bother ko na parang may tumatawag talaga sa aking pumunta sa likod ng bahay. So I did. I didn't know how it happened, my feet brought me there when I was already at the backyard I just loved the place, It has a fresh cold breeze of air and felt like the birds was singing, the trees was dancing and I love how the leaves fall down I felt like I was a princess and people throw flower petals on me. As I told myself. "I found my haven!" My phone rings and for sure this would be Tina.
"Jane! I have something to tell you."
"What was it Tina?"
"I had an entrance exam to our dream school here in Quezta Verde. And guess what."
"Whaaat? Just tell me. Ang dami mong alam! Ang dami mong sinasabi!"
"Why are you like that? Do you have a problem?"
"None."
"I got a schoolarship. I thought you would be happy for me."
"Then good. Congrats... Goodluck."
"Haist. I think Tita is calling you. Naririnig ko."
"What? Nasa likod ako ng bahay. And ikaw narinig mo samantalang ako na mas malapit kay mama walang narinig?"
"I don't know. Ang init ng ulo mo. Bahala ka na nga. Bye"
And she disconnect the call like why should I be affected? I don't really care about her. Naiinis ako sakanya.
As I was saying, I spent the 1 month vacation just to clean and fixed things out. Whenever I need some rest or time to relax sa likod ng bahay lang nila ako makikita. I don't know why. But it become my 2nd home. One time mom asked me. Kung ano daw bang ginagawa ko sa likod. There was a time they saw me laughing all by myself and even talking to someone. Talagang nag-iiba na daw yung ugali ko. Before, I spent most of my time with my family having a bonding with them. Now, I get irritated and annoyed fast without knowing the reason behind. And yes, I found a new family at our backyard and I don't know why my parents can't see them. One day, they was murmuring something through my ears. They told me to follow what they want because its for my own good. So I was left with no choice but to follow them.
TINA'S P.O.V.
My bestfriend Jane was a good friend of mine. Hindi madaling uminit ang ulo nun. But, I don't know what happened and why she was like that. I just tried to understand her that maybe she was just having a culture shock or maybe she's just adapting to a new environment. To tell you, I honestly heared someone was murmuring when we're on the phone. I cannot determine if it was a voice of a man or a lady and can't really understand what it was saying but when Jane told me that it wasn't her mom, I felt frightened. Hindi ko din alam paano ko siya itatanong at sasabihan tungkol dun kasi iba nga yung mood niya. Baka mamaya maging malala pa at mag away kami. Haist. I don't know what's happening. Maybe now, the best thing that I can do is to give her time and patience.
