Vicious Lily

Chapter 16

"Lily Arabella Pavellon?"

I never thought travelling somewhere you didn't dream about would be this frightening, after three hours of sitting in a plane and all I think is I'm insane for doing it and for the first time I scold myself for not listening to Odette all I wanted now is to throw myself in the plane back to Manila.

Nakatitig ako sa maliit na babaeng may mahabang buhok, she's small but her aura says other wise, she raise her eyebrow at me.

"Well hindi ka kamukha ni ante, err Bingi ka ba?" she ask again in her high pitch voice

I gulp, may dalawang babae pang palapit sa amin kaya sila ang tinignan ko, I just can't trust this small girl in front of me.

The thing is both of them is just like Alice, I think they're 5'2 or smaller, one of them is smiling at me like this is not the first time we saw each other.

"Ikaw na ba si Lily?"

Before I know it, naka kulong na ako sa mga braso nito, she's fast or maybe I'm slow to process what's happening. I can't believe I'm here, I can't believe they're here..

Isang tawag ko lang sa Alice na iyon and I ask her na salubongin ako sa Airport.. I'm almost positive na hindi sila darating at maghihintay lang ulit ako ng eruplanong pabalik sa Manila lunokin ang pride at manatili sa bahay ng mga Gomez hanggang sa paalisin nila ako.

"Hey.. I'm Lucy"

The girl with green hair said she's wearing a ripped jeans and sleeveless, ilang besis akong kumurap sa kanilang tatlo na tahimik rin akong pinagmamasdan parehas kaming nakatingin lang sa isat-isa.

Until Lucy the green hair roll her eyes..

"Ito si Rose at ito naman si Alice ang nakausap mo sa cellphone"

Turo niya sa babaeng tumawag sa akin na bingi, huminga ako ng malalim.

"Lily"

I said, hindi na ako naglahad ng kamay since hindi ko alam kung ano ba talaga ang gusto sa akin ng tatlong ito, they call me several times kaya malamang may kailangan sila..

"Nakakapagsalita ka.. amazing" Alice smirk

She's very small and very annoying, the best way to deal with her is ignore her kaya hindi ko siya tinignan nanatili akong nakatitig kay Lucy na may pinaka sensable sa kanilang tatlo kahit pa wala sa itsura niya.

"Hindi ko kayo kilala" I said again in a very cold voice na walang epekto sa kanila.

"Oh! Wag kang mag-alala Lily kilala ka namin" maligayang sagot ni Rose

Bumuntong hininga ako at tumango, they don't seem like they can do something to me right?

 Ginala ko ang tingin sa Laoag International Airport.. the ambiance is familiar but the people around here is another story.

Kanina ko pa nararamdaman ang kakaibang pakiramdam sa dibdib.. I wanted to go home, sa pamilyar na lugar, makakita ng pamilyar na tao.. anyone kahit pa yung mga nakaaway ko.

But no one here is familiar.

Even the three girls in front of me claiming to be my cousins.

"Mabuti pa, sa sasakyan na tayo mag-usap gabi na" Lucy said.

NIYAKAP ko ang sarili habang nakatingin sa mga nadadaanan namin, wala akong masyadong nakikita dahil hating gabi na yata at hindi rin katulad sa Manila na may ilaw lahat ng bahagi ng daan..
