"Water! Get some water!" Sigaw ng isang babae.
"My lady, are you okay?" Tanong naman ng isa at hinawakan ang kamay ko.
My mind is hazy. Nahihilo ako at parang nasusuka. Hinilot ko ang sentido ko bago lumingon sa harap. What is going on here?
"Here's some water, my lady." Napasulyap ako sa nag-abot ng tubig. Kinuha ko naman iyon at ininom.
Ang bilis rin ng tibok ng puso ko ngayon at naghahabol din ako ng hininga. I'm alive?
The people in front of me are filled with worried looks. Maids? As far as I know, I don't have any maids. Where the hell am I? Nilibot ko ang tingin ko sa paligid. This is just a room, an extravagant room!
The walls are painted with navy blue with white in the middle. The walls are engraved with a Victorian-style pattern. The curtains of the windows looks expensive and there are symbols at the hem. There are also carvings on the wood part of my bed. Two sets of dressers on my side and a vast mirror beside it. A mosaic porcelain flooring paired with a thick crimson shag carpet. And bunch of expensive-looking paintings on the wall!
Napatingin ako sa taas. The ceiling is silver-painted combined with gold chandelier with blue gems in it. I was utterly speechless.
“This is...” Bulong ko nang biglang may pumasok sa kwarto.
"Where's the doctor!"
He is wearing a suit dress that's obviously made by a master craftsman. An old-fashioned style coat and pants.
Wait! Who are these people?!
Let's calm down and remember first, Kirsten. I got sucked by a portal, right? Hindi ba ako namatay? Wait, is this what they called transmigration?! Nanlaki ang mga mata ko at napatakip ng bibig. That is impossible.
“No way...” Bulong ko sa sarili habang pinagmamasdan ang mga hindi pamilyar na tao sa harapan.
Oh my gosh. I just remember the limited edition I got. Bumagsak ang mga braso ko dahil sa naalala.
"Lady Violet? How are you feeling?" Nagpantig naman ang tenga ko sa narinig at kunot-noong lumingon sa nagsalita.
Lady Violet? Is that me?
"Ah... I'm fine. Just a bit dizzy." I unconsciously replied.
Lumapit ito sa lalaking may magarang kasuotan na pumasok kanina. Kinausap niya ang lalaki bago tuluyang lumabas.
Then the man approached me with worried eyes. Sinalubong ko naman ito ng nagtatakang tingin. Who?
"Violet, my daughter..." he gently pulled me and hug me.
He just called me his daughter?!
He suddenly cried so I was surprised and unconsciously hug him back. I don't know, but I've felt the need to hug him back. I could see the concerned looks of the maids watching us. They looked delighted and worried at the same time.
Bumitaw siya at tumingin sa'kin..
"I thought I'd lose you..." ngumiti ito at hinaplos ang mukha ko.
Maybe I'm just dreaming? I secretly pinched myself pero nasaktan ako. I don't know why did this happen.
After the commotion, umalis ang "ama" ko. Umalis rin ang lahat ng maids na nandito kanina. Pero mukhang halos lahat naman sila ay nasa labas lang ng kwarto ko. My father told them to stay alert if something happens. Nang mapag-isa ay tumayo ako para suriing muli ang lugar.
I opened the dressers and it's full of luxurious dresses. They looks old-fashioned but I can tell they are expensive. I touched the carvings of the walls at namangha sa linis at ganda ng pagkakaukit rito.
