To Save You

Kabanata 3

Masaya akong kumakain habang yong apat na kasambahay ay nakatingin lang sa akin. Kahit anong aya ko ay hindi talaga sila sumusunod na parang isang kasalanan ang kumain dito sa hapag.

I don't know how I went here and all I know it is becuase of the last start that fell right after I wished something inside of me that I never tell my parents.

I should atleast know about my family here, where is my family maybe later after I got to tour around this big mansion.

I went out to see the outer view, indeed it was elegant and beautiful, may garden, and nasa gitna ako nang garden when I looked out the mansion, maganda, at ganda talaga. Sa labasan lang ay parang isang bahay na namin dati.

Pinasok na ako nang mga kasambahay habang pinayungan ako, I lived like I was a fragile.

"Ma'am sa susunod po, pag gusto niyong lumabas sabihin niyo lang dahil bawal po kayo maiinitan"

Sabi niya sabay sunod sa akin pero binabalewala ko lang yon at nagpapatuloy na lang.

They know me well, from what I like at s amga hindi ko gusto, and living here is still mystery but the excitement and joy I felt is nothign can compared by those questions. Baka paggising ko ay nasa totoong buhay na ako kaya sagarin ko na.

"Nasaan na pala yong mga photo album o kahit anong larawan kasama ang pamilya ko, o ang asawa ko"

Sabi ko habang nilibot ang paningin, maganda nga, lahat ng nakapalibot sa akin ay lahat maganda.

"Nasa second floor Ma'am, nasa library, nandoon kasi mahilig kayonf magbasa, nandoon lahat"

Yung puso kay ay lumundag sa saya habang pumunta sa library, I never imagined I will have my own library, I didn't wish for it pero nandito na sa harapan ko.

"Wow"

Sabi ko na nakalaglag panga, isang napakalaking kwarto na may maraming libro. I only seen this in the elit school grabe ang ganda at ang dami.

Sumigaw ako sa saya habang tumakbo papunta sa kanila.

"Dahan-dahan Ma'am Selina, baka mapano ka"

Ilang oras na akong nakatambay dito habang nalilibang sa pagbabasa. Habang sila ay pababalik balik tinitignan ako. I already told them I'm okay, they should do their task like cleaning or sleeping but they only replied na ako their task is to take care of me.

Naalala ko ang pinunta ko kaya I closed the book, at I fold the page so that I can back and continue ti read it again.

"Nasaan pala yung larawan ko o kahit sino?"

Nagmamadali silang pumunta sa kaliwa habang sumunod naman ako.

"You loved to stay here Ma'am Selina, I don't know but you changed a bit from the picture but it's been years din but today you look more bolder, strong and carefree"

Sabi nila na naguguluhan pa rin.

Did I lived kung saan kamukha ko yong tunay nilang amo?

Nakatingin ako sa malaking larawan kasama ang isang matipunong lalaki, gwapo at may lahing kung ano pero habang tinignan ko yung kapares niya ay parang ako, mukhang ako, pero may bangs and she has a curly hair. I touched my straight hair. She looks like me, and she's so beuaitul wearing a white dress.

Napansin nang mga katulong na hinawakan ko yung buhok ko.

"Gusto mo nang bagong buhok kaya tuwid na yong buhok mo Ma'am kahit ayaw ni Sir ay ginawa niyo pa rin ang gusto niyo"

"Is that bad?"

I said while looking to the picture they look so stiff and formal but still looking so beautiful.

"Hindi naman po"

"Nasaan pala yong pamilya ko?"

"Dito po Ma'am"

Sabay lakad papuntang dulo. Bakit parang ang layo naman. Pero wala akong nakita.

Napakamot sa buhok ang kasambahay nang may napagtanto.

"ah, nakalimutan ko Ma'am kinuha pala ni Sir yong larawan nila para iparevised sa Spain"

ah ganoon pala.

Humikab ako, at gusto nanng magpahinga dahil sa pagod.

"Ma'am Selina magpahinga na po muna kayo"

Kaya yan ang ginawa ko, I'm very satisfied about this day, okay na ako na paggising ko nasa totoon reyalidad na ako.

I sleep with a smile knowing na kahit sa isang araw namuhay ako nang marangya. Na kinain ko lahat ng hindi ko natikman, I sleep in a soft mattress, I smell and touch the warmth of the book, the garden, the jacuzzi, everything.

I woke up expecting seeing the noisy view of my surroundings, with green tress and mountains but it's not what I expected. In fact, yung mga katulong ang bumungat sa akin.

Natulala ako sa harapan nila, at kumunot yung noo nila sa nakitang reaskyon sa akin.

"Bakit Ma'am?"

Sabi ng isang katulong at nagpakilalang yaya yeng.

"Wala"

Sabi ko sabay bangon at tinignan ang paligid.

"Anong oras na ba?"

Sunod kung sabi sabay tingin sa salamin.

I'm a long legged type of a woman, my height is 5'7, and I have a white pale soft skin. My mom was a beautiful woman but she just look ages because maagang nag asawa at natakwil sa pamilya. Yong papa ko naman is may lahing kastila, pero inambona dahil isa siyang bunga ng pagtataksil. Kaya ang ganda ng kinalabasan sa akin, indeed my two older brother are matipuno at gwapo, yong baabe din kaya lang maagang nagpakasal at lumisan.

"Ma'am tumawag pala si sir Eilam at hinanap ka po"

"Saan ba siya?"

Tanong ko na ikinagugulat ng mga kasambahay. Bakit lagi siyang tumatawag at hindi pumupunta dito.

"huh? diba may pinuntahan sa New Zealand para sa trabaho Ma'am, alam mo yon"

"Nakalimutan ko kasi"

I smiled shyly to them. I don't know how he looks right now, his seems sound dominant, he's like a strong build man.

This place is a seems so quite, because of this big mansion with a big garden, I can't seem find the end of it to look outside and I don't know where this place is.

"Ma'am sa susunod wag kayong magsalita nang ganyan sa harapan ni Sir baka mapano ka po"

"Why? masama ba siyang asa-

I stopped from talking, I should act like a prim and proper wife.

I don't know how to love a man, I only know how to love my family. I am pretty and sexy everyone knows about it and even they even call me as the campus crush, I don't know if I'm not ready or my expectation is very high that I feel no one deserve to be my boyfriend or maybe my life was focused about my family that I never entertained anyone or maybe I have never yet saw the man who'll be my man, who'll be my super hero, that man who'll lend give me his name, everything.
