The Goddess and The Spider by: Hanasora Harane
I'll fix this later. Nagsasanay pa lang ako na magsulat ng Filipino, pero aayusin ko sa susunod. Aaralin ko muna ang ilang mga salita mula sa diksyunaryong Filipino, okay ?
Ang isang batang babae ay naglakad papalapit sa harap na pinto ng Trancy Manor. Lumipad-lipad sa hangin ang mala-pilak niyang buhok, habang ang damong mata ay pinagmamasdan ang daanan .Nakayuko syang lumapit sa tahanan ng angkang Trancy.
Happily skipping her way on the cobblestone path , she began to sing : " Mahal kita simula pa nung una , sana'y mahal mo rin ako ….." She hummed the rest of the song , bumping into a wall of beef cake. She looked up, green grass eyes meeting gold ones.
The man looked down on the girl, for she was only five feet and three inches tall. She looked up to him, nervous and her heart pounding.
"Ikaw ba ang hinihintay ni Master Trancy na distant relative daw niya ?" He coldly asked, pushing up his glasses.
"Ah , eh …..OO " Sagot niya , matapos mag reality check dahil sa kagwapuhan ng kausap na lalaki. Kinuha ng lalaking iyon ang hawak nyang suitcase at luggage at in-escort sya papunta sa loob ng bahay.
She marveled at the scarlet and gold interior of the mansion , looking up at the diamond chandelier, she ran a finger across the marble table at her side. She gazed at the photos that sat on the table.
" Arista ! Mabuti naman makikilala na kita !" A blonde boy squealed ,sliding down the staircase and pounced on her, giving Arista a big bear hug.
Looking over his shoulder, Arista spotted three plum haired young boys , they looked very much alike so she guessed they were triplets, there was also a snow haired maid standing by.
Nang tigilan ni Alois sa kakayakap, itinanong ni Alois sa kanya kung ano ang nangyari.
"Pumanaw na si inay at itay , nasunog ang aming manor" Malungkot na sagot ni Arista. Hinawakan ni Alois ang kanyang mga kamay.
"Akong bahala sa iyo Arista ! Aalagaan kita, wag kang magalala !" Energetic na sagot ng batang lalaki at hinatak ang kamay niya, itinakbo pa punta sa isang cuarto sa second floor.
"Eto ang kwarto ko !" Sabi nya habang habang itinuro ang isang pinto sa kabilang panig ng hallway."At eto ang kwarto mo !" he said , turning around to point at the door behind him. "Magkatapat lang tayo !" He excitedly exclaimed.
Overwhelmed, she thanked him. "Salamat sa pag ako sa responsibilidad na mag alaga sa akin !"
"Walang anuman" Sagot ng lalaki, giggling. Itinulak niya ng binibini papasok sa kuwarto nya (her room , wag po green-minded) "Sige , iiwanan na kta, magbihis ka na't mag tsa-tsaa tayo mamaya sa hardin !"
"OK !" Sagot ni Arista ,nakangiti't maligay, at isinara ng pintuan.
Napansin ni Alois ang alalay na maid na nanunuod sa di kalayuan sa mga pangyayari. "Oi ! Anong tinitingin mo diyan ? Tulungan mo siyang mag bihis !" Mataray na utos niya sa maid ng pabalang.
Hannah bowed , entering the room to help the girl as her master had ordered. Alois turned on his heels, walking down the hallway. " Leche…" He hissed , turning to his side only to see his butler, Claude Faustus.
"Bakit naman naisipan nyong matirahin dito ang babaeng iyon master ?" Tanong ni Claude, halatang curious.
"Eh malungkot din dito eh ! Masyadong tahimik kaya naisip ko 'the more the merrier' " Sagot niya" Di kasi nagsasalita yung tatlo , yung isa naman walang kuwenta !" He sighed "Hay naku ! Buti nalangnandito ka !" Yinapos ni Alois si Claude but he pushed him off.
Tiningnan ni Arista ang sarili sa salamin. Knee-length ang damit at pa-bell ang pleated na skirt , ang dulo nito ay lininyahan ng white lace. Maikli lang ang sleeves ng blouse na naka puff ng kaonti, meron din itong baby collar, linyado din lahat ng lace ang mga dulo ng blusa. May malaki ding white na ribbon sa may dibdib niya at may ganoon din na ribbon sa bewang niya na naka knot sa tagiliran at may gold rose pin sa gitna.
Pinagmasdan nya ang sarili sa salamin habang itinatali ni Hannah ang lace-up white boots niya . She wore her hair down her silver locks flowed to her waist. She put on a pair of pearl earrings and tied white ribbon on her hair. "Ang bait naman nya, nakikitira lang ako pero ang ganda ng ipinasuot niyang damit !" Maligayang sabi ni Arista habang kinakapkap ang kasuotan nya.
"Opo Lady Kallistenne, medio bipolar ngalang ang master. " Hannah sighed , following Arista who was exiting the room.
" Teka , ano nga pala ang ngalan mo ?" She asked her , stopping on her tracks to turn towards her.
"Hannah Annafelloz po." Sagot ng tanned na kasambahay , Arista walked up to her and joyfully shook her hand.
"Arista Kallistenne, sana maging magkaibigan tayo !" Masayang sabi ng white-clad na binibini.
"Kung iyon po ay iyong nais , I won't deny your request." Hannah answered joining her as they walked out into the gardens.
Alois drank tea from his cup, looking around at his rose filled surroundings as his butler stood beside him , emotionless. The boy place down his tea cup violently, nearly spilling its content.
"WHAT ON EARTH IS TAKING THEM SO LONG ?" Malatigreng sigaw ni Alois, gazing into the horizon to find a snowy figure running towards him. The girl stopped , digging her heels into the ground and gave Alois a soft, friendly gesture.
" Go ahead , sit down and join me. " Alois told her, gesturing to the seat in front of him. Arista sat herself on the chair provided, picking up a cup and drinking from it as Claude placed a slice of strawberry shortcake on her plate.
"This is Claude Faustus, my butler !" Alois exclaimed, pointing to the man. Arista gazed at him. "Natutuwa akong makilala ka Claude." Bati nya.
"The pleasure is mine" He bowed.
A few minutes of eating cakes and tea went by. Nakatingin sa babae , biglang tanong ni Alois " Gusto mong magaral tayo sa Weston ? "
Taken by surprise, Arista responded " Akala ko ba ay panglalaki lamang iyon ?"
Alois wiped off the icing from his lips with a napkin, dropping the it to the ground. "Tatangap daw sila ng mga babae simula this school year"
"Eh di, sige ba !" She enthusiastically squealed.
Standing from his seat, he exclaimed. "Then it's settled , we are getting slots for this school year !"
