Chapter 1: Zombie?

Jashelle

I LOOK at the window of our car boringly. Bakit ko ba kasi kailangang makipagkita kay dad? Its been months since i last saw him around our house tapos ngayon bigla nalang syang magpapadala nang isang body guard para sunduin ako? Geez! God knows how much i hate him!

We arrive on our destination at naunang lumabas yung body guard/driver na ipinadala ni dad para sunduin ako.

Paglabas ko nang kotse ay tumambad sakin ang isang malaking building na sa tancha ko ay may 50 floors.

Pumasok kami sa loob at tinanguan lang nung guard na nagbabantay sa entrance yung bodyguard/ driver na ipinadala ni dad na para bang magkakilala sila.

Hindi ako kumibo at nanatiling walang expression.

Pumunta kami sa elevator at pinindot nung guard yung 15th floor.

Pagkabukas nang pinto ay tumambad sakin ang higit 30 na tao na nakaharap sa computer at nagtitipa na akala mo'y may hinahabol na deadline.

Lumapit kami sa isang babae na nasa parang counter sa isang sulok at tumingin lang ito samin---- i mean dun sa boydy guard/ driver at tumango.
Pumasok kami sa isang kwarto at tumambad samin si dad na naka suot ng tux at naka upo sa upuan sa may table na nasa gitna nang kwarto at may nakakandong sa kanyang babae na nakasoot nang maikling shot at sando na halos ipakita na yung dibdib nya at si dad naman ay hinahalikan yung leeg nya. Tsk! Akala ko ba trabaho ang inaatupag nya rito! Di man lang nya na mention na may iba pa pala.

Bahagyang tumikhim yung bodyguard/driver.

Bigla nalang tumakbo yung babae doon sa may CR nang kwarto at sya naman ay napaayos nang upo.

Well, i cant fool him, naging ganyan sya mula nung namatay si mom dahil sa isang car accident.

Inayos nya ang necktie nya at pinaalis na yung bodyguard/driver na kasama ko.

“A-a-anak please take a sit” he said and guide me at the sofa na sa karap ay may Maliit na table at may isa pang mahabang sofa, parang sala lang ganun.

Tumikhim sya,
“Hmmm, anak sorry sa nadatnan mo.” paumanhin nya at tumango lang ako still putting that No-expression-face, bahagya pa syang nagulat dahil tango lang ang sinagot ko sa kanya but he proceed.

“By the Way, kaya kita pinapunta dito nang personal ay dahil this 3rd grading ay lilipat kana sa isang public school at maninirahan sa isang bahay just 3 blocks away from that school, sa bahay na yon lumaki ang mom mo and to treasure her i think the best way para pangalagaan ang mga naiwan nya ay doon ka patirahin hanggat wala ako.” paliwanag nya.

October ngayon at sem-break din.

“After kasi nang sem break nyo ay pupunta ako sa Australia for business matters” duntong pa nya at tumango lang ako.

“Want to do anything before i go princess?” tanong nya at umiling naman ako, parang nagulat sya at parang malapit na syang umiyak dahil sa naging sagot ko.

“You've been acting cold since your mom left us.” sabi nya at tumabi sakin at yinakap ako, ako naman ay nanatiling walang expression at hindi manlang pumaling sa kanya.

“I miss my talkative Princess, My princess who love surprises, my princes Who want to eat egg pie everyday, my princess who cant live without a book, my princess who cant watch horror movies because she's afraid she might have a nightmare about it, my princess who always smile,,,,” he cried.
“the princess i grow up and take care of,,,, im miss her” he said and cry lauder.

“Well sorry she's gone since her mother died 7 months ago.” and for the first time since i got here, i speak that made him cry like he did when he--- i mean we lost mom.

Its true, everything he said was true, i was a active girl, i always smile, i always laugh--- but that's when mom is still with us. Maybe its because of pain that force me to change myself.

My father is in the middle of crying when the flirt girl came out of the CR, sit beside my dad, grab my dad's head carefully, put it in her shoulder  and rolled her eyes on me like i just stole a thing that belong to her.

Dad didn't care and continue crying on her shoulder.

“If that's all you want to say then i should get going.” i said, he wipe his tears and kiss me in my forehead and nood, he dial someone in his phone and after less that a minute the body guard/ Driver enter the room.

I follow the body guard/driver but before i close the door  i look back at my dad who's now has the flirt girl on his lap.

“Dad,” i called him and he and the flirt girl look at me.

I smiled that surprised him.

“Take care,Always drink your vitamins, i love you.” i said as i close the door of his office and run on the body guard/ driver.

##

I'm now on my way home with my body guard/ driver.

And again, i look at the window boringly but i know all i can see is the vehicles and the trees that's on the both side of the road.

I suddenly fell sleepy so i grab the pillow that has letter U shape, put it in my neck and look at the window,,,

But before i totally close my eyes, i saw something--- no someone,

I'm not sure if its a girl or a boy because he/ she's facing her/his back on me.... But when that creature turn back, He looked at my direction....
He look like a zombie, you know, zombie like on Walking dead.

But I didn't mind it because maybe there's a shooting nearby.
