Chapter Three

The helicopter landed on the helipad sa isang hotel na pag aari ng lola ko. I sighed again as I fixed my scarf.

Screw everyone! Kumulo na naman ang dugo ko nang maamoy ang maasin na dagat. Hindi ko na maitago sa mata ko ang galit. I harshly went out of the chopper.

The staff of the hotel lined up perfectly like they were waiting for a God to appear and bless their presence. Lahat sila nakayuko not until a man in a black type of their uniform appeared with a pleased smile, nahulaan ko na agad na iyon ang manager.

"Welcome to Garmendia Hotel, Ms. Summer!" maligayang bati niya.

Nilagay ko kaagad ang shades ko at hinagod siya ng tingin. His smiling face turned into a frown, hindi nagustuhan ang ginawa ko.

Kung nandito ako, prinsesa ang magiging turing nila sa akin. Kung ganoon, I want to be a very bad princess who are curse by everyone dahil sa kasamaan ng ugali. Ngumisi ako, baka sakaling pabalikin ako ni Lola kung ganoon ang mangyayari.

Hindi ko sila pinansin at nagtuloy tuloy ng lakad. The wind blew my hair. I surveyed the whole scenery before I went inside, leaving the rooftop and entering the hotel highest floor.

The manager tailed behind me. I wanted to go inside the premises. Kaya naman Mas lalong umingay nang nasa lobby na ako ng hotel. I looked back again. The staff that were lined up earlier are now following me. Nagulat ako.

"Hey, what are you doing?! Prepare the suite for Miss Summer!" saway ng manager.

Umirap ako. Bakit kasi lahat sila ay nakasunod sa akin?

"How's the hotel?" I casually asked.

I looked around again. I am not very familiar with everything here.

"It's good ma'am. You can follow us to the madam's office—"

"Hmmm. No need, I want to rest," I sighed.

Tumango ito. "But our Madam is expecting you. You might want to join her for dinner."

Umiling ako. "I said, I want to rest. Bukas nalang ako makikipagkita sa madam niyo. Just tell her that.... I'm sick."

Mukhang nag aalinlangan pa 'to. I sighed.

"What's your name?" I asked.

"They call me...Manager Chilo here," sagot niya.

It looks like this man is in his mid 30s. A bit taller than me and a bit masculine. I smiled at him.

"Chilo, I'm still tired dahil sa byahe. And most of my things are still in Manila, gusto ko pa mag ayos muna bago ako makipagkita kay Lola. Is that okay?"

He sighed, sa wakas at tumango na rin.

"Sure ma'am. Here's the key to your room," sabi niya.

"Thank you," I looked at the card, nakita kong 512 ang nakalagay dito.

"I assumed it's....on fifth floor?"

"Yes, left side. I can assist you if you want."

Umiling nalang ako at sumakay ulit sa elevator. There's a lot of people inside our hotel. Well, it's one of the fanciest and the biggest so it's not a surprise.

Halos mahilo ako nang tumaas na ang elevator. Bakit gan'to ang elevator dito? nakakahilo!

Nang makita ang room ko, pumasok kaagad ako. The fruity scent of my room made me calm. This is one of the suite na pinagmamalaki nila. It's quite big of course and I love it. It had a french style architecture touches in it. It's so classy.
