Morthon University : Secret Diary (Book 4)

Prologue

LILI ELIE FRAZER

Six years ago, I was an ordinary girl with an ordinary life. Six years ago, I was my Dad's and Kuya's princess. Six years ago, I'm holding and playing with my doll and not with my gun. Six years ago, I remember how I followed the footstep of my father, how I idolized him, how I badly wanted to be just like him and how I turn out to be like this.

A Golden Queen Assassin.

                        ****

It was a gloomy night, not an ordinary night in Frazer's house. If my Dad and Mom didn't attend a business trip, I'm really sure this night will be just ordinary.

Loud noises, laughter, talking until we felt sleepy, endless chase and arguments over silly things of my parents, that was an ordinary night for us.

Goofing off whole night in my room, I could only see Cinderella, Snow White, Sleeping Beauty and other disney princesses. I decided to go doswnstairs but I immediately stopped when I passed by the locked room (the secret room as I thought).

Hindi ko parin alam kung ano ang nasa loob ng kwarto na ito. It was locked for over a years, I was three years old when I noticed the existence of this room but now that I am twelve years old hindi ko parin alam ang laman nito. Nine years had passed and I'm very sure Kuya Cali and Kuya Chance know what's really inside. Hindi naman yata tama kung hindi ko malalaman ito.

Gumana ang pagiging Frazer ko, tumingin sa magkabilang gilid at sa baba kung may paparating na panganib. Walang tao, anong oras narin at siguradong tulog na silang lahat.

I picked my hair pin over my hair, with some calculated tactics, spinning, groping, and waiting for the click sound of the knob, I open it out. Thanks to Kuya Chance for teaching me the tricks.

Nang mabuksan ko ang ilaw ay nalula ako sa bumulaga sa akin, iba't ibang klase ng gamit ang nakita ko. Wala sa linya ang iba ngunit makikita sa maayos na pakakalagay.

There are some duck costumes, flowers in vase that is withered probably a years ago. Different pictures are hanging on the wall, plate number, books, old model of laptops and cellphones, empty bottles of wine, sun glasses, stuff toys. It is nothing but a room of scrap.

I was about to go out when suddenly one thing caught my attention. On the left side of a room, on the top of old drawer, there's a gun. Sa halip na matakot, umigting ang kuryusidad ko. My twelve years old self boom so much questions on her head.

Nilapitan ko ang nakitang gamit, walang alintanang hinawakan iyon, binuhat, muntik ko pang mabitawan dahil sa bigat. Muli ko itong inilapag, binuksan ang drawer sa ilalim, tumambad ang iba't-ibang uri ng kutsilyo, baril at kung ano ano pa.

My heart skips a beat just like there was something I needed to know. I beamed on the gun again placed on the top of the drawer and there I noticed a black notebook, vintage looking black notebook with a lock. (It's look like a magic book though)

Kinuha ko ang notebook, tinignan ito ng mabuti. Napa-ubo pa ako ng bahagya nang ihipan ang bagay, nagliparan ang mga alikabok na ilang taon ng hindi naalis. Nang luminis iyon ay saka ko nakita ang pangalan na naka-imprinta sa bandang ilalim nito.

Owner : Gun Keast 199*

"Kay Tito Gun pala ito?" nabulong ko nalang sa sarili.

Binalak kong buksan pero may kandado na nakabalot rito. Gustuhin ko mang iwan ay tila may nag-uudyok sa akin na kunin ang naturang gamit. Dali dali ko itong itinago sa ilalim ng damit ko, hindi na ako nag-abala pang mag-usisa sa paligid, tinungo ko na ang pinto, tumingin sa kaliwa't kanan ng hallway at nang makumpirma na walang tao ay mabilis akong lumabas.

Dali dali akong sumampa ng kama ko, muling kumuha ng hair pin upang madistrungka ang kandado. Pakiramdam ko ay magbubukas ako ng isang libro at mabubuksan ko ang isang kababalaghan. Umigting ang pagiging bata ko, tila makakapasok sa loob ng masalamangkang mundo kapag nabuksan ang libro.

Nagliparan muli ang alikabok nang mabuksan ito. Unang pahina palang ay nakita ko na agad ang isang litrato, kuha nila Daddy, kumpleto sila at nasa sementeryo at tanging si Kuya Cloud palang ang bata. Nasa gitna nilang lahat ang tatlong lapida na magkakatabi.

Parang may kumirot sa puso ko nang mabasa ang mga pangalan na iyon. Madalas silang kinukwento ni Mommy sa akin, noong una ay akala ko gawa-gawa lang, pero ngayon mas nalaman ko na totoo pala sila, totoong may kaibigan silang namatay. Hindi man sinabi ni Mommy kung ano ang ikinamatay nila ay natutuwa parin ako dahil nakilala ko sila sa pamamagitan ng isang kwento.

I turn the page once more, and there I saw the handwriting of the person who own the notebook.
