Case 16: Striking Resemblance

NANA’S POV

Hi. My full name is Nancy Jane Abalos. Born on December 31st. 9 years old at nasa Junior High na ako. Oo, Junior High School na ako. Accelerated ako, obviously. I’m studying at Divine High School. It’s an all girls school sa Manila. And yes, dito ako nakatira sa Batangas but I’m studying in Manila.

I have a single mom. She’s a ravishing and strong mom who cares for me and Skyler so much. She’s in US right now for her clothing line business. She’s a designer.

“Nana, breakfast is ready.” Skyler opened the door and sat down on my bed. I’m working something in my laptop kaya nakaupo ako sa studying table ko just beside my bed. “Ang aga aga, laptop agad ang kaharap mo.”

“I’m researching kasi. Go ahead, I’ll finish this first.” Sabi ko while making him leave my room with my ‘shoo’ gesture.

Tumayo siya at pumunta sa likod ko, “What are you researching? Hey Nana, don’t tell me tinatanggal mo ang firewall na nilagay ko dyan sa laptop mo!” pilit niyang inaagaw yung laptop ko. I can remove that stupid firewall if I want to but I’m educated enough to avoid visiting disgusting websites. Duh? =_=

“It’s not porn Kuya!! Stop it!”

“Are you sure?”

“Duh? Kadiri kaya yun.” =_=

“Well then, what’s that?” tumigil na siya at tumayo na lang sa tabi ko.

“I’m just looking up some facts about claustrophobia.” Sabi ko, honestly I’m annoyed with Rima when I first met her but after we had that conversation yesterday morning I think I just found the most enchanting person ever.

“Lemme see..” kinuha parin ni Kuya ang laptop ko. He scrolled down, “What did you found out?” tanong niya saken while scrolling my lappy.

“It’s a phobia triggered with past experiences regarding unhappy thoughts inside a closed space. Maybe trapped, harassed or other ruthless scenarios. Well that’s how I see through it after some research. Kuya, do you know why Rima’s claustrophobic?”

“Chief said, may nangyari sa kanya before. Pero hindi na niya sinabi kung ano yun. For privacy purposes na rin siguro.” Nilapag na niya yung laptop ko sa desk and messed up my hair. “For now, let’s have some breakfast. Tama na muna yan.” He smiled.

“Okay Kuya, I’ll change lang.” lumabas na siya ng room.

Pagbaba ko ng dining room, nandun na si Rima. It seems like walang nangyari kagabi. Although I didn’t see her, I felt that something’s wrong with her upon seeing her enter the house. Her eyes were so emotionless.

“Nana, tara kain tayo.” Yaya niya pa saken.

“S-sige.” Kahit nagtataka ako, I just sat down and eat with them. Parang walang nangyari. Still, I can feel an awkward atmosphere from the boys.

“Guys.” Binaba ni Rima ang spoon and fork niya. Nag-iwan siya ng isang tahimik na aura sa loob ng dining room namin. Lahat kami nag-aabang ng sasabihin niya.

“Gusto niyong mag-swimming?” ^__^V
