KHALLIELEYA
The morning breeze brush through my skin while the fresh scent of the lagoon tickled my nose. I love how natural this place is. Feels more like home than in the palace.
My family chanted as they pointed at the lagoon. Tumawa lang ako sa mga ito at pinanuod sila. They start splashing on water and I couldn't stop smiling from ear to ear.
Prince Kohlen and Ate Khei are so sweet at a short distance. I like how the prince would held my sister close to him. Ang isa ko namang ate ay napapairap na lang sa tabi nila tapos magpapadyak palayo. I look at Papá who is laughing at everyone. I'm happy that he's pleased with our setting.
I glance at Ate Khana and Sir. Codhille behind us. I marveled at their closeness. Sir. Codhille is resting his chin on my sister's head, while Ate Khana doesn't mind at all. Tapos kukurutin pa niya ang pisngi ni Sir. Codhille. Oh my gosh!
"Tsk!" Tumakla naman ang isang lalaki sa tabi ko tapos nagtungo sa mga malalaking bato.
I forgot about his feelings. He is madly in love with my sister. He must be in pain watching them being lovey-dovey.
"Papá, may problema ba?" Malakas na tanong ni ate kaya napalingon ako ulit kay Papá. Umiling lang si Papá at nilagpasan ang dalawa. May binulong naman si Sir. Codhille sa aking ate kaya tinaboy siya nito.
I look away from them and went to Arizs's side again. I sat there and hugged my knees close to my chest. "Naglagay ka ng lotion mo?" Usisa nito.
"Oo. Naalala kong mag-lagay."
"Hindi ba't sinabi ko rin sa'yo na huwag kang magsusuot ng maiksi?"
"Arizs, I can wear shorts. We are in a secluded area and the place is for refreshment and relaxation." He pouts and I shrug, "Ate Vie convinced me to wear this. I am comfortable with it."
"I'm worried kasi malamok dito minsan. Baka kasi mangati ka," he sighs under his breathe and crosses his arms over his chest.
"Thank you for your concern, Arizs." I shift on my seat and stare at the lagoon. "Ang ganda talaga ng lawa rito. Ang linaw ng tubig."
"Kasing linaw ng mata mo kapag nakikita ako." He punned and I raise an eyebrow on him.
"Corny."
"You like it."
"Hindi kaya."
I shrug and deep my toenails on the water. "Khally, may palaka sa tabi mo!" Nanigas ako sa inuupuan ko at hinanap ang palaka na sinasabi ni Ate Viera.
Dahan-dahan kong nilingon ang tabi ko at may palakang nakatitig sa akin. Ang laki niya. Ang laki pa ng itim sa mata niya.
"F-frog..." I muttered almost out of breathe.

Miss Bourgiose brought us to our garden for an environmental activity. This was part of my homeschool program with Arizs. Para raw hindi kami mabugnot na dalawa sa loob ng palasiyo na nag-aaral.
Arizs enjoyed the activity. I enjoyed it too. Pinaghahanap kami ngayon ng iba't ibang hayop sa hardin sa bago naming aktibidad. Dapat daw ay mahuli namin iyon at idadala kay Miss Bourgiose.
May mga tutubi at paru-paro akong nakita pero mahirap silang huliin. I step beside a bush and tried hard to catch a dragon fly, but I stop when I heard a weird sound. Bumaba ang tingin ko hanggang sa makita ko ang palaka malapit sa paanan ko.
He was a cute frog. Green and have huge black eyes. I was about to touch him but then his tongue stretched and touched my finger. I was mortified. I couldn't breathe when his black eyes grew wider than I ever saw. The frog leaped closer to me and I back away. It leaped again. I thought of the most ridiculous theory in my life.
