Miria's POV

....

"Young Mistress! Please don't be so stubborn. You might get hurt." My Nanny Olivia said to me while her face was so worried.

"Oh no! I don't wanna. I wanna stay here! Look Nanny, it's amazing up here. Look! Look!" I said full of excitement. And guess where am I? I was just on top of a tall tree and seeing the beautiful sceneries make me feel very happy.

Back then, my five year old self was full of happy memories inside her heart...until everything happened so fast.

"Please Young Mistress, get down here. Your father will surely scold me if something bad happens to you." She said and still her face was so worried. But still, I didn't listen.

Because for me, when I see the beauty of our God's creation, it refreshes my mind. I felt relaxed when I see it all.

*BA-BA-BA-BANG-BANG-BANG!!*

*BA-BA-BA-BANG-BANG-BANG!!*

*BA-BA-BA-BANG-BANG-BANG!!*

I was so shocked of what I just heard. That weapon is an armalite, and with that scary sound I covered my ears. Then, I immediately looked down and was hysterical with what I've seen.

"No...No...Nohhh! Nanny!" I couldn't believe with what I'm seeing right now. I was so terrified. My Nanny Olive was bathing with her own blood in the cold hard ground.

And I felt warm tears started to pour down from my eyes. The person who always stays behind me and the one who took care of me was gone. Gone forever...

"Huh!" Biglang naimulat ko ang mga mata ko mula sa pagkakatulog. Agad din akong napatayo sa pagkakahiga at tumingin naman ako sa orasan sa tabi ko.

"3:15 am. Tss! Stupid nightmares!" I said annoyed. Madalas mangyari ang mga ganitong bagay saakin. Lalo na't tuwing alas tres ng madaling araw.

Tumayo ako sa higaan ko't isinuot ang coat ko saka lumabas ng kwarto. Gusto kong magpahangin. Nawala na ang antok ko dahil doon.

Bumaba na ako ng hagdan pero naramdaman ko ang isang presensya.

"Giovane Padrona, perché sei ancora sveglio? C'è qualcosa che ti preoccupa?" Wika ng aking serbidor na si Caesar.

(Translation: Young Mistress, why are you still awake? Is there something bothering you?)

"I just need some fresh air." Wika ko sakanya. Saka naglakad na ulit ako papalapit sa pinto.

Nang aabutin ko na ang door knob ay biglang inunahan itong hawakan ni Caesar saka pihitin ito at maingat na binuksan ang pinto. Nakita ko ang napakaamong mukha niyang nakangiti. Matanda na rin kasi siya. Matagal na siyang naglilingkod saamin.

"Grazie, Caesar" Pagpapasalamat ko sakanya saka lumabas na rin ako't nagtungo sa hardin.

Naramdaman ko ang malamig na simoy ng hangin na dumadampi sa aking pisngi. Lumapit ako sa isang puno at mabilis kong naakyat iyon hanggang sa itaas.
