"You must be Shy."
Tumingin ako kila Kuya. Nakatitig lang sila kay Vishna. No one dared to talk. Hinawakan ni Jeoff ang nanginginig kong mga kamay.
"E-excuse me?" I stuttered. My heart was beating faster and faster.
"Oh, I am sorry. You just remind me of someone." She smiled sweetly. Naramdaman kong nagsitaasan ang balahibo ko sa aking mga braso.
"We need to go, kids. Enjoy the night!" Ssanah's Mom said at naglakad papalayo sa amin.
We stayed silent for a minute.
"Do you know her Shy?" I heard Neo asked.
Umiling ako. "N-no, I don't know her." I held Jeoff's hands tightly.
"Paano niya nalaman pangalan mo?" Ssanah asked. Umiling ulit ako.
"Guys, I am so sorry but we need to go." I heard Kuya Raye said. Inalalayan ako ni Jeoff pagtayo. Kuya Kyle left to find Kuya Alezander.
"Ang aga naman." Ssanah said and I saw her pouted.
"Are you okay Shy?" Neo asked me at tumango lang ako.
"Yes, yes. I am. Bigla lang sumakit ulo ko. I just need to go home and rest. Thank you for inviting us, Ssanah." I gave her a sly smile.
"Okay, okay. Pagaling ka ah. See you on Monday." She hugged me. Umalis na kami sa hall at nagkita nila Kuya sa labas ng hotel. Pagkalabas nila Kuya Alezander at Kuya Kyle, agad-agad kaming pumasok sa van na nakaparada sa tapat ng hotel.
"Are you okay?" Jeoff asked.
"Obviously, not. We met." My hands keep on trembling.
"I should have stayed with you." Sabi ni Kuya Alezander na nasa tabi ko. Pinapagitnaan nila ako Jeoff at Alezander. I don't know why but I suddenly felt tired. I closed my eyes to sleep and hoped that this is just a dream.
Nagising ako sa tapik na naramdaman ko. Tinignan ko ang mga damit ko and I saw the dress I bought and wore. Tinignan ko sila Kuya and they're wearing their suits. After all, this is not a dream.
"Hey, we're here," Jeoff said in a low voice. Inalalayan niya ako pababa ng van at pumasok na kami sa bahay. Nakita namin sila Kuya at Lolo sa sala, nag-aantay sa amin. They immediately stood up the moment they saw us.
"Please take a rest, apo." I heard Lolo said kaya I went upstairs.
Third Person's POV
"How the hell did that happen?" Tanong ni Mich sa kanila.
"I'm so sorry," Alezander said. "I told them to secure the area but I guess that wasn't enough."
"It's not safe here for Shy anymore." Ani Wayne. "Pabalikin na lang natin siya sa London." Napatingin sa kanya ang lahat.
"She will not agree. Knowing her, mas gugustuhin niya dito makasama kayo." Jeoff said.
"We should make a plan. Nakita na ni Vishna si Shy. Any moment from now, she'll attack again." Their Lolo said. They all agreed.
"Dagdagan ng bodyguards si Shy. Pagbawalan muna nating lumabas ng hindi tayo kasama. While doing that, hahanapin natin kung nasaan si Vishna. Let's make her pay for everything she did to us." Alezander said at tumayo para sagutin ang tawag na kanyang natanggap. Lumabas saglit at maya-maya'y bumalik.
