"ALYSSA, wake up!" Maggie said as she continued to shake her friend's shoulder who was still moaning and mentioning Daisy's name.
Maggie was nervous when she still didn't wake up her friend, out of fear that she might not wake up at all and thought of slapping her.
"What are you planning to do?" Alyssa asked her friend as she woke up to see Maggie as if she was going to be slapped.
Maggie was surprised when Alyssa spoke, she quickly put down her right hand.
"I've been trying to wake you up for a while but you didn't wake up, I'm nervous so I planned to slap you," Maggie confessed to her.
Alyssa sat up slowly on the bed, she covered her face with her hand. She tried to remember her dream. Alyssa felt Maggie's arm on her shoulder so she turned to look at her.
"What else did you dream about?" Maggie asked her.
"I dreamed of Sofia, Miguel, and Daisy. They are asking me for help."
"Why?" Maggie asked. "It looks like your dream is we
"I think Sir had a good sleep," Charlotte commented noticing that the artist was not yet in his seat."Yeah, he's often the first to come here in the kitchen," Noel said.They were just wondering because it was only now that he was late in their conversation to wake up at the right time. He often went to the kitchen first, but now he is not there yet. At the same time, the students looked at the opening of the kitchen when Mang Nestor entered the kitchen."Sir told me, you should have breakfast before him. He will be waiting for you on the third floor." Said Mang Nestor."Is Sir Gregorio sick?" Alyssa asked. She saw the old man shake his head."He's doing something important," the old man answered and he set the table."At that age, you can still do all the tasks here Mang Nestor," said Maggie."My only job here is cooking, every week someone comes here to clean the whole Mansion." The answer of the old man."Is that so," Maggie replied, nodding her head.
ON the third floor, the students were busy painting the ones they had already drawn. Gregorio, on the other hand, was sitting in his swivel chair watching them carefully. He saw that the students were looking out the window when they heard loud thunder.Suddenly the rain came down, the glass window was closed so the rain could not enter the room."Are you afraid of thunder, do you want me to cover it with a curtain?" Gregorio asked them.The students shook their heads."The rain is a blessing Sir," Noel said with a smile as he focused his eyes on what he was doing, to which his fellow students agreed."All right, continue what you're doing. I'll just leave the room, I just need to ask Mang Nestor to do something.""Go ahead Sir," students answer.Gregorio got up and walked towards the door. When he opened the door, he came out without looking at the students.When the artist finally got out of the room, they started making noise."It's good that Sir came o
THE students left the room one after the other, while Gregorio's gaze followed the two students. He tilted his head and closed the door of the room. He didn't think about what he noticed in them.The Artist followed them down the stairs he could see their happy conversation."Have fun, because your hours are numbered! Gregorio whispered happily in the air. He clenched his fist firmly. He could no longer wait, to have another victim. "Who will I follow them?" he was referring to the students and secretly smiled.AFTER lunch, Alyssa and Maggie went to their room while the others were with them, preferring to hang out in the living room while watching the news."There's a storm today," Noel said while sipping hot coffee.Carlos also sipped his coffee before looking at Noel."That's why it's raining non -stop." Carlos looked back at what he was watching on television. "It's bad, other villages in San Victoria town are flooded.""I
"IT'S still raining hard and it looks like it's getting a bit flooded outside the gate." She added when she noticed water entering under the gate of the mansion."Eeehhhh!" They shouted when suddenly there was thunder, followed by lightning. They both knelt and laughed as they crawled back into bed."I just hope the storm doesn't last," Maggie said, Alyssa was about to answer when her cellphone suddenly rang on the dresser. She immediately picked it up and answered the call without being able to find out who the caller was."Hello?" Alyssa started."Hija, how are you there in San Victoria?" asked on the other line. It was her mom who called."Is that your mom?" Maggie asked her in a whisper. She nodded, she put her index finger in her mouth signaling to be quiet for a moment."We're fine mom," she replied to her mother."There is a typhoon in that town, do you want me to send our family driver there, to pick you up?" her mother's voice was worried."Don't wor
GREGORIO secretly rages in anger at his caretaker for not being careful at work."Is that so Sir, that's why Mang Nestor brought Daisy's bag yesterday," Maggie said as if a thorn had been pulled out of her throat.They even thought of some bad things. Then it turned out that it had good intentions. Maggie was suddenly ashamed of herself."I'm sorry Sir," Alyssa apologized.They saw the artist smile at them. "Oh, that's nothing, when you have a problem you can talk to me, don't be shy."They nodded with a smile."Let's go down, maybe your fellow students are waiting for us in the kitchen.""All right, let's go down, we might run out of sopas," said Maggie with a weak laugh.Laughing, Alyssa put her arm around her friend's shoulder. "Let's bet, they haven't started eating yet,""How can you be sure?" Maggie asked her.Alyssa pinched Maggie's right ear. "When do we eat without eating together?"Maggie seemed to think. "Yeah, hehehe!" Maggie chuckl
I believe when we return to Manila you will be looking for drawing and painting!" Alyssa said positively, as she continued to draw."Maybe!" Maggie replied. "Even though we're busy with our studies, I still have time for drawing and painting. I'm going to be as good as you, girl!" she added."You need to treat me when we return to Manila. Because, if you don't come with me, you won't know that you have other hidden talents." Alyssa heard her friend's loud laugh."I'm always the one who treats you every time we go out,"She laughed at what her friend said. It's true what Maggie said, she was the one who always gave her free food.Maggie is the one who often goes out for food trips when they have extra time after class."Because you're the one who likes to eat," she joked. She looked at Maggie she saw one of her eyebrows rise."All you have to say is you're just stingy," retorted Maggie. "Even twenty-five cents in exchange, you'll still get it." Maggie was joking.
GREGORIO gave each one a candle.The students moaned in frustration."Tomorrow morning I will send Mang Nestor to town to buy more gas to use in the generator," Gregorio added."I'll just go with Mang Nestor tomorrow Sir," Noel suggested looking at the caretaker.Gregorio turned his head to the young man, who was secretly celebrating."Maybe you can buy some junk food tomorrow, Noel?" Maggie asked him."Sure!" Noel answered. "Can I go with Mang Nestor tomorrow, Sir?" He asked the artist again who seemed to be silent for a moment."Are you sure?" Gregorio asked the young man as he played with his fingers. He already knew who his fourth victim would be."Yes, Sir!" Noel answered quickly."All right, go with Mang Nestor tomorrow morning.""Yahoo!" Noel said cheerfully, and he asked his fellow students what else they wanted to buy."Just buy junk foods," they replied."Okay, noted guys!""Mang Nestor, you can rest now. You and Noel will leave early
GREGORIO opened the door of his room slightly but saw nothing. Maybe it was just the rustling of the trees outside his mansion caused by the heavy rain with the strong wind."OUCH!" Alyssa's complaint. Maggie was sitting on the floor while squeezing her right foot. As she glanced into the artist's room as she walked, she stepped on, one of Maggie's feet causing her to fall. "Just massage slowly, because it hurts.""You don't even look at what you're stepping on, then you're still looking at Sir's room," Maggie told her as she applied ointment to her foot. "It's a good thing you're not crippled.""Are you sure? Why does it hurt?" Alyssa asked one question after another. She winced, every time Maggie's palm caressed her foot."I didn't see any bones come out of your foot!" Maggie replied as if she was just joking. "Seriously, your foot will be okay later. You just got bruised because you fell.""I hope so," she said biting her lower lip.Maggie stood up, she finished
