Sugar Rush!

Chapter 14

RINA's POV

Saturday, 10am

"Good morning, my Lady. It's time to wake up."

Naramdaman kong may humawak sa kamay ko. Minulat ko ang mga mata ko. Nakita kong nakangiti sa akin si Sarah, isa sa mga maids namin. Tinanggal niya ang cooling pad sa noo ko.

"Your bath is prepared. After your bath, I'll take your temperature. The family doctor is still on his flight from Spain." sabi niya sa akin.

"From Spain? Mom's overdoing it again." pinikit ko ang mga mata ko.

"The request came from your father, my Lady."

Overprotective parents.

Bumangon ako at pumunta sa bathroom. Nagbabad ako sa bath tub. Giniginaw pa ako. I got a fever last Wednesday night. Nagsimula iyon noong sumakit ang ulo ko dahil sa 3 students na humarang sa akin noong pauwi ako.

Pagkatapos maligo, Sarah took my temperature.

"36.7. At least it lowered down. I already had your breakfast set up here, my Lady." Tinignan niya ang table kung saan nakahain na ang pagkain ko. "Please take the medicine after your meal. Do you need anything else?"

"No, thanks. You can go."

"Just call us if you need anything, my Lady." Yumuko siya at lumabas ng bedroom ko.

Kumain ako ng inihanda nila pero hindi ko maubos. Kakatapos ko lang inumin ang gamot ko nang may kumatok sa pinto.

"Enter." utos ko.

Pumasok si Sarah.

"Excuse me, my Lady, but you have a guest waiting for you outside."

"I wasn't expecting any guests. Who is it?"

"Mr. Kristoff Sunderstone."

Oh. My. Gosh.

Tumayo ako at tumakbo papunta sa walk-in closet ko.

"My Lady..?" mukhang naguguluhan si Sarah sa reaksyon ko.

"Sarah! Have him wait for me at my living room. 5 minutes only!"

"Yes, my Lady."

Lumabas si Sarah ng bedroom at naghanap na ako ng maisusuot.

What are you doing here, Kristoff?

After a few minutes...

Oh, no! I said 5 minutes but I took so long..

Nilabas ko ang lahat ng gamit sa school bag ko.

Ugh! I can't find it! My favorite lipstick!

Ang alam ko nandito lang iyon pero hindi ko mahanap.

Ibang lipstick nalang ginamit ko. I wore makeup, contact lens and hair extensions.

I looked at the mirror, fixing my hair.

I don't want him to see me pale.

I rushed to the other room. Kinakabahan ako.

Ano kayang sasabihin niya?
