Lahat ng Kabanata ng A Night of Fraud: Kabanata 1 - Kabanata 10

Erizzabeth's POV"Tuloy ka, hija. Dito ka muna sa bahay ko magpalipas ng gabi." Inilibot ko ang paningin ko sa bahay niya. Hindi ito ordinaryong bahay na nakasanayan kong nakikita sa lugar namin.Amazing and very spacious, It is no longer a house to be called but a mansion or a palace. I thought this old man was just an ordinance and just lived in the forest but he was also hiding something.Sinalubong kami ng mga babaeng naka-uniporme. Mahigit isang dosena silang nakapila sa magkabilang gilid ng daan kasabay ng pagtitig nila sa amin."Maligayang pagbabalik, Mayor Zandro," mahinhin na bati nilang lahat. Malapad na ngiti at tango lang ang isinukli ni Lolo Zandro."Thank you, Ladies. I'd like you to meet our special guest!" They'd smile at me genuinely. "Magpakilala ka sa kanila," bulong niya."Hi, I'm Erizzabeth Vhanjian." They just stared

After a day, we arrived at a village. I still see strange things around. People are busy with the various things they do. There are cheerful people talking on the side, I see chariots passing by, there are old and young people walking around wearing different designs of their cape, and the brave men will not be lost as various weapons hang on the side of their waists as they ramp up the road."Anong lugar ba 'to?" Para kasi akong bumalik sa nakaraang panahon."This place is what we called Asynithis village." I looked at to Wayne. "This is the oldest place in the world. No one knows except the people who live here that this place still exists. Thousands of years and no one knows that it is one of the oldest cultural heritage." I was amazed."Are there people trying to seize this place? Such as when a governor finds out or has a high level and intends to seize it especially since this place is so beautiful." Umiling siya.

Gael and I just came out of the music room. In a few days I will be competing in the competition I will join on our campus for the upcoming foundation day. This is a big event especially for those who auditioned who will sing to compete for the intensifying prizes.The event is sponsored by a foreigner. So whoever wins will be given the opportunity to receive a contract and a ticket to Hollywood. So I did not miss this opportunity either because I also risk that this is the one I have been waiting for the most to get there with my dream.Sapat naman ang pera ko para makapunta roon pero gusto kong marating iyon dahil sa bunga ng pagsisikap ko."Woah." Namangha si Gael nang pagbukas ko ng locker ko ay lumuwal agad sa akin ang napaka-raming sulat. "Mga sulat na naman ni Vench ang nakakarami niyan, I swear." Umiling ako."Araw-araw nalang may basura sa locker ko." Tumawa siya."Hindi naman nil

The whole trip, I was just quiet. I was alone in the back while Gael was sitting in the front with the driver. I was still stunned by what was happening because it was so fast that it seemed like I just closed my eyes for a moment and when I opened it I was gone. Wala na ang pamilya ko at tuluyan na akong mag-iisa sa mundo. I am an independent person, I can afford to live but that does not mean that I am no longer weak. People think of me as a strong woman. I do not just give up but I am also crushed. Minsan nga lang ako tinatamaan pero sobrang sakit tuwing dinadalaw ako ng kalungkutan."Bakit pa ba kasi nagpunta kayong dalawa roon?" Gael's Mom asked us as we sat on the sofa side by side. Dito kami hinatid ng driver kasi iyon ang iniutos ni Gael. Ayaw niyang dumeretso ako sa condo ko kasi hindi makabubuti sa akin ang mag-isa lalo na sa sitwasyon ko ngayon kaya alam na rin ni Tita ang mga nangyari dahil sinabi ng driver.

Gael and I have been hanging out here in the cafeteria for a few hours. I was so irritated by the rumors of some students around me about the issue that I am a daughter of Mastermind or let just called my father was a Drug Lord when they heard about my father's death. Kanina pa ako pinipilit ni Gael na umalis na kami rito pero tinatanggihan ko siya. I prefer as much as I can now hear the hurtful words for me. I want this day to be one of the most painful I feel even when I am discouraged."Erizz..." Gael called my attention."Hmm?" She took my hand as her eyes stared at me worriedly."Balak mo pa rin bang sumali sa kompitesiyon? Baka pwedeng... mag-lie-low ka muna, alam ko naman kasing pinanghihinaan kana ng loob dahil sa mga nangyayari." Umiling ako."I'm fine, Gael. Hindi ako aatras sa kompitesiyon, kailangan na kailangan ko iyon lalo na't paubos na ang pera ko. I don't have a financer anymo
