Above The Sky [Kismet Series One | Rewritten]

ATS - 22

"ROVEN inc. is now facing a huge crisis after announcing the new heir. It was declared that the Chairman's step son will lead the company in the future. Because of doubt, many investor have lea–"

The TV was turned off and Mama with the remote on her hands approached me.

"Why are watching this? Shouldn't you be peparing already? Your Lola Valentina and Lolo Henry is coming!"

Hinawakan ni Mama ang kamay ko at pinatayo mula sa inuupan. Wala akong ganang naglakad pabalik sa aking kuwarto. Ilang araw na ang nakalipas pero hindi pa din umuuwi si Bryan dito maski sa Ancestral house nila ay hindi siya nagpaparamdam.

Daxton and Sebastian are looking for him. The last time I talked to them, sinabi nila sa akin na wala daw nakakita kay Bryan matapos ang araw ng huling bisita namin.

"Stop wasting your time with that nonsense–"

I pulled my hand out from Mama's grasp. She stopped from walking and looked at me, I look up to her too and without knowing, my tears are starting to fall. How can she say that it's nonsense? It can be an information about Bryan! It can help us to know where he is at right now!

"Nonsense? That could be an info about Bryan, Mama. It can be helpful. W-why are you like that? I-i thought he is part of the family..he's important to u-us, isn't he, Mama?"

Mama's glare didn't give any essence of worrying or sadness, it's empty. Parang wala lang sa kaniya ang sinabi ko. She sighed then turned her back against me and started to walk towards my room again.

What is happening to her?

Wala akong magawa at sumunod na lamang ako sa kaniya. I wiped my tears. Hindi ako puwedeng manghina ngayon, I need to be strong, if Bryan finds out I cried because of him. He'll probably get angry with himself.

Pagkapasok ko sa kuwarto at binihisan na agad ako ni Mama, Precious and Judith are doing my makeup and hair. Parehas silang tahimik at tila wala balak magsalita sa kanilang dalawa. Masyado ding ingat ang mga galaw nila at kahit isang beses ay hindi nila sinubukan tignan at ngitian ako. I am not used to this kind of atmosphere, it's suffocating!

I saw Papa, through my mirror's reflection, arrived at my room. He gave Mama a hugged and whisper something to her ears. Kita ko ang pag-aalala sa kanilang mga mukha. Is it because my grandparents are visiting?

Hindi ko na lamang iyun pinansin at tinuon ko na lamang ang atensyon ko sa mga alahas at palamuti na naka kalat sa table ko ngayon. I smirked when I remember what my classmates told me every day they see me in class.

They labeled me as a thief for stealing other corporations and having benefit from it. Kinuha ni Judith ang isang diamond necklace at sinuot ito sa akin.

While putting the necklace around my neck, Lola Valentina's laughter and arrogant statements echoes in my ears as well as other people's voices. My head starting to ache, my chest is hurting and I feel my heart throbbing. Nahihirapan ako huminga, sumisikip ang dibdib ko.

Precious caresses my back while Judith held my hand.

"Señorita, ayos ka lang ba???"

"Senyora, Senyor!"

Everything is blurry, wala akong makita kung 'di ay mga anino lamang ng bagay sa aking paligid. My ears are still invaded by those disturbing echoes at dumagdag pa ang tunog ng mabigat kong paghinga. I tried to hold Judith but I can't, i feel like I became a statue, It's so difficult to move my hands!
