Irs's POV
I can't walk straight. I am sure i didn;t get my self drunk last night at lalong hindi ko maala na sumama ako sa kahit sino, except with the part when a dark-eyed buy. He was my last encounter and my last memory.
Napapadyak ako sa frustration. I found myself this morning with unfamiliar room. Pilit kong inaalala kung sumama ba ako sa sinuman o nalasing ba ako. Am i drugged?
I just found a piece of note sa noo ko na sinasabing umalis na ako when i woke up. I am so annoyed i almost wrecked the house!
Ibinagsak ko agad ang katawan ko ng makapasok ako sa kwarto ko. Mabuti na lang at lunch break ng guards kaya nakapasok ako. It's already pass noon, and i can really feel how dirty i am. Ang lagkit lagkit ko and all. I badly needed a shower but i am too tired to leave the bed.
My room is so quite i am almost in my paradise when the door opened and noises cam when that person started to fire sermons with me.
"Saan ka natulog kagabi?" Nakataas pa ang kilay nito
Tumagilid ako ng higa sa kama. "Somewhere"
"Ikaw na bata ka! Kapag umulit ka ng ganitong uwi, isusumbong na kita sa lolo mo!" sermon niya sa akin
Natulilig na ang tenga ko. Gusto ko na matulog, from all the bad shts from last night, waking up with someone's house! i feel so tired walking my way home sa katirikan ng araw! I wanted to scream that to her face but she's Ms. Perigrin, she's still my guardian inside my school. And she's too old, i owe her respect. So i just shut my eyes and ignored her.
"Ipinagbilin ka sa akin ng mga lolo mo, aba! Ito ba ang tamang oras ng pag-uwi----"
"NAMAAAAN! Naka-uwi na ako! Nalasing lang ako kaya nakatulog na ako kung saan ako nakaupo. Yun lang! Kung manermon ka naman parang ginabi ako ng uwi! HELLO! Umaga na! Ang AGA KO KAYA UMUWI!" With that nagtaklob na ako ng kumot para wala na ako marinig kung segundahan man ako nito ng sermon.
"NAKU! ikaw na bata ka!!!"
Para akong nabunutan ng tinik sa dibdib ng marinig kong sumara ang pinto. Finally! A quite time!
"Psh. Magsusumong kay lolo? Go ahead! make him go home" asik ko habang nakatingin sa malaking picture frame sa kwarto ko where i can see my 18 year old self and my too old grandfather.
Seeing that picture always remind me how powerful i am carrying the name Ira Czarevna Valdez. Beside the picture was the big glass window where i can clearly see the whole view of my school. Ako na ang humawak nito when i turned 18. Lolo said my parents build this school exclusively just for me, kaya sakin na niya ito pinahawak. And also, to train me. Maliit pa ang trabaho ko sa University compared to the big responsibilty Lolo will gave me as the LAST HEIR. Ako na lang natira. I took a Tourism course kahit dapat ay Management, pumayag naman si Lolo so wala na anamn itong kaso. Basta hindi ko pababayaan ang univeristy he's cool with it.
Si Ms. Perigrin ang guide ko at ng condo ko. When i turned 19 at gamay na gamay ko na ang university, nagpatayo ako ng sarili kong building ng condominuims for my sorrority sisters. She's actually nice, inaalagaan niya ako it's just that, she's too old fashion and strict.
My building consist of 4 floors. I'm staying at the 4th floor which is the pent house, i occupy the whole place and it's highly secured. the 3rd floor naman ang 20 condo units for my sorrority sisters. The 2nd floor is where the meeting hall is located and other offices and that's where Ms. Perigrin is also staying. The lobby is where the gym and activty rooms are, backyard is prestigous with an olympic sized pool and bunggalow huts. This is where we ussually do our parties. Behind our fences is where the Bloody Lips Gang are, i don;t personally know them all but some informations gave me creeps. The group name says all the impression you will have, creepy, creepy and creepy, yet they have tons of members and fraternity and sorrority buddies! Some of my sisters are friends with them. The Fraternity leader owns 30% of the stocks and he's the second major stockholder.
Alpha Omega is exclusively for elite students of my school.
Minsan napapaisip ko, when did i ever allow to have gangs in this school? Although they are considered high class gangs eh mukhang hindi ko sila pwedeng i-tolarate. Gangs supposed to be involve in such fights? And as the owner of this school, i won't allow any of my students to be involve in such fights.
From all the thoughts running inside my head, i fell asleep.
"..try to smell her, try to smell the alluring scent of a virgin."
Napabalikwas ako ng higa, i was panting while scanning every inch of my room. I know i heard it. It was almost reality, i felt the breathe touching my skin. But maybe, just maybe it was just a dream.
Tumingin ako sa wall clock ko it's already 9 in the evening, kahit madilim kitang kita ko pa rin ito dahil sa liwanag ng buwan. Napakunot noo ako "i thought i closed the window?". I remember it was close when i stared outside.
I felt the need of a bath nang maramdaman ko how viscous my skin is.
I prepared a bubble bath. I got this dreary memory of my childhood with my mom. Sabay kaming nagbabad sa bathtub and she was combing my hair.
I lit the scented candles, narerelax ako sa twing nalalanghap ko ang vanilla scent ng Yankee candle, and how magnificent my bathroom is. Nasa gitna ang round silver bathtub, ang ceiling na katapat ng bathtub ay glass para kita ko ang langit and luckily, stars are scattered.
I removed the locked from my dress and let it slipped down, habang nagtatanggal ako ng natitirang saplot, i felt something. Like someone is staring at me. Instinct says. But its impossible someone's here. Bukod sa high end ang security ko, walang makakakyat para makasilip sa bintana. Hindi ako nagpalagay ng veranda sa building na ito, only big windows. I am not with verandas.
I sighed my relief when i felt the warm water dominating my body. Dahan dahan kong nilubog ang sarili. I stared at the stars, how come they're so far? Nung bata pa ako, i tried to grab one, umakyat ako sa puno but unfortunatley hindi stars ang nakuha ko kung hindi scars. Ms Perigrin was like a lunatic ng hindi tumigil ang pag-agos ng dugo sa tuhod ko.
I was about to fall asleep when i heard a loud noise. Nagbalik ang ulirat ko ng marinig kong malapit lang sa paligid nanggaling ang ingay. i triedn to ignore it at baka may nagpaparty lang sa labas, i stared at the stars yet i found seomthing weird, it was like its a meteor coming down so fast. Nanlaki ang mga mata when I saw how the glass roof broke into pieces. Naglaglagan ang basag na salamin sa akin and i saw the water become red. Nakaramdaman ako ng hapdi sa magkabilang braso ko at sa kanang pisngi.
I was shocked yet stunned.
the cause of my broken glass roof is now in front of me. With me. In the bathtub.
He just fell on me, in my bathtub!
