SECRETUM LIBER

Prologue

There is something wrong with my brain!!!....

Oh. Hi there, my name is Shieka Vonn Pereze. An ordinary girl with a normal life. Except sa sakit ko.

Yes you heard it right. Oh sorry let me rephrase my word. You read it right.

My heart is small. I have a heart disease since I was a baby.

My mom died when she is giving birth to me. And My dad is a successful entrepreneur. Eight years later and he marry again.

My stepmother. Her name is Synthia. My stepmom is so lovely but I think if mom is still alive she is much more lovelier than her. But I don't hate my stepmom.

She is the reason why I have a complete family. She made me feel like I have a mom to lean on when I have a problem at school. A mom who can give me advice. A mom who cares for me. A mother who prepare breakfast for me. She is the reason why I feel complete. And I love her.

My dad name is Zachary. He's a loving father. He is always there for me. He gave me the things that I love not only financially but also physically and emotionally. And I can tell that I have a wonderful, loving and happy family.

Not until one day. My dad filed a case against my stepmom. I don't know why but yeah he actually did. I get mad of what my father did. And I keep questioning myself, what on earth is happening. But for the, I don't know how many times i ask myself about that, wala pa rin akong nakukuhang sagot sa mga tanong ko.

I saw dad everyday drinking wine, but most of the time hard drinks. He's always drunk. He looks miserable. And as his daughter I feel pity on him.

I keep on asking him about my stepmom but everytime that he heard the name of my stepmom he gets angry at me. And it's pissing me off.

Even tho I want to ask him some question I stopped myself. I need to stay calm, stay positive but I just can't help it.

Months later I was surprised that dad bring a girl that I think older than me. At first I thought she's dad's new girlfriend but when he introduced me to her. I feel relieved.

New maid. She's our new maid.  We don't have maid her because mom Synthia is the one who always clean our house. My dad keep on telling her that we should get a maid but she refused.

It's another day today and out of boredom I follow Sylvie our new maid. She's heading to the attic. I just keep on following her.

She is cleaning the attic, and as for me I'm just walking here and there. I don't know but something caught my attention.

The bookshelf is moving. I roamed around and look at Sylvie but she's too far to make that bookshelf move. Who could it be?

Out of curiosity nilapitan ko ang cabinet. But when it move again I flinched.

"It's nothing maybe there's just a rat" I keep on convincing myself that its nothin.

Inobserbahan ko ang bookshelf na ouno ng alikabok at sapot, ng muntik na akong madapa.

And there I saw a red old book, and out of curiosity I force myself to pick it. It's beautiful even tho may alikabok na nakapalibot ay napakaganda parin nito sa paningin.

I tried to open and flip the page but I can't. So I just keep it there. But there is something odd. Kinuha ko ang alikabok sa libro dahil napansin kong parang may nakasulat.

Nang makitang malinis na ay binasa ko ang nakasulat sa libro.
