Apollo's POV
At the age of sixteen i became one of the youngest billionaire in town.I had travelled in a lot of countries.
Hindi lamang ako nakilala dahil sa pangalan ng aking mga magulang at ng aking lolo kundi dahil sa angking kong talino at husay sa negosyo.
Luckily dahil na rin sa antas ng aking pamumuhay kaya ko narating ang kinalalagyan ko ngayon.At ito ay aking pinagsikapan.
I used my allowance na inipon ko when i was a child at ipinuhunan sa isang buy and sell business when i was teenager at hindi ko inexpect na lalago. Im just inspired that time.Hindi maalis sa isip ko ang nakababatang kapatid ng aking kaibigan. An inspiration that lead to my success now.
At the age of twenty three im here now at an auction held only for those rich people.
"Did you know that the famous princess scarlets luna necklace is to auctioned tonight!" a man infront of me said to the other man.
Hindi maiwasang marinig ko ang usapan nila dahil medyo malakas ang kanilang pagkakasabi.
They looked like Japanese businessmen.
"Oh yeah.That would be great.My wife would be glad if i get it!" wika nung isa.
"Thats the rarest one." wika nung isa pa
"And the most expensive one for sure!" wika naman nung nasa harap nila na German.
"Taylor!" tawag ko sa personal assistant ko na nasa kanan ko.
"Yes sir!" alertong sagot nito.
"Whats that luna necklace they are talking about?" tanong ko sa kanya.
Agad itong naghanap ng info gamit ang gadget na hawak.Tumulong na rin ang secretary ko na si Jiane.
"Sir its the necklace worn by princess scarlet of York on her wedding.The necklace have a black diamond which is considered as the rarest and most expensive diamond in the world." paliwanag ni Taylor.
Tumango ako sa sinabi nito.
"Sir it will be auctioned last." nakangiting sabi ni Jiane.Napatingin ako dito.
"Actually sir, that necklace shows how important the princess scarlet to prince George.So sweet!" kinikilig pa na wika ni Jiane
"And its a good gift for someone you cared." dagdag pa ni Taylor.
A love story.thought from my mind.
Nagsimula na ang auction.
Karamihan ng mga naka-auction ay mga antics at mga sikat na work of arts.
Pero wala pang pumupukaw sa pansin ko until ilabas ang luna necklace.
It catches my attention.Why? Its because the picture of this in the screen is the one i saw in Avery's room.She had a doll wearing something like that.
I remember something from the past.
Its Avery's 14th birthday.
"Thank you kuya Albie.This is the doll i really want.Isasama ko sa collection ko." masayang wika ni Avery.Hawak nito ang doll na may abuhing buhok, nakasuot ng dilaw na dress at may itim na kwintas.
"Talagang gustong gusto mo yan!Eh mas maganda pa si Cinderella diyan eh!" asar ni Mike
"Oo nga princess.San ka naman nakakita ng prinsesa na may malaking itim na kwintas.Ano yan witch!" asar din ni Gab.
Di makapaniwala ang dalawa na mas magugustuhan ni Avery ang regalo ni Liam.
"She's not a witch.And for your info.Its a black diamond necklace, the rarest one.Mahirap makahanap ng ganitong diamond no!And i want to have this when i grow up!" nakangiting wika ni Avery.
Napangiti ako sa naalala.
"50,000 usd!" wika ng isang matandang mayaman.
"75,000 usd!" wika naman ng isang black american businessman.
"100,000 usd!" one known senator said.
Nagkaroon ng bulong bulungan.Mukhang maraming interesado sa necklace.
"I'll bet for 140,000 usd!" wika ng Japanese na nasa harap ko.
"Highest bidder 140,000 usd any other bid?" tanong ng host.
Nagtaas ng kamay ang isang hollywood actor."200,000 usd!"
"250,000usd!" wika naman ng isang chinese.
"I bid for 300,000 usd!" wika ng isa pang chinese.
Tumayo ang isang colleague ko.One of my classmates in harvard."400,000 usd!"
May matabang lalake na nakibid."450,000 usd!"
Isang pinsan ko sa father side ang tumayo."500,000 usd for me!" I think he wants it for his wife.
Napangiti ako sa nangyayari.
"600,000 usd!" wika ulit nung dati kong kaklase.
"640,000 usd!" wika ulit ng pinsan ko.
"680,000 usd!" wika ulit nung dati kong kaklase.
"700,000 usd!" ayaw patalo ng pinsan ko.
"800,000 usd!" mayabang na sagot ng dati kong kaklase.
Natahimik na ang pinsan ko.Paano? Its the highest bid na sa lahat ng naka-auction.
"Highest bid 800,000 usd.Any other bid?" tanong ng host.Tumingin sa kaliwa hanggang kanan na bahagi ng event place."Calling once,twice,th-"
Nahinto ang host ng tumayo ako.
There, i got all their attention!bulong ko sa sarili.
"2 million usd!" pinal na wika ko.
Gulat at pagkamangha ang nasa mukha ng mga taong naroon dahil sa sinabi ko.
Kahit ang mayabang na dati kong kaklase ay di nakapagsalita.
Nakatulala na nakatitig lamang ang PA at secretary ko sa akin.
Nang mahimasmasan ang host ay nagsalita na ito."Highest bid 2million usd.The highest bid for today.Any bid?Calling once,twice and thrice!....Mr. Williamson got the black diamond luna necklace.Lets all give him a round of applause.Congratulations sir!"anunsiyo ng host sa lahat.
Maraming bumati sa akin.
I instructed Jiane for the payment.I handed her a signed cheque.
Agad itong tumalima.
And then lumabas na ako sa event habang nakasunod si Taylor.
"Congratulation sir!She would be the luckiest girl, the one who will have that!" wika ni Taylor sa akin.
I just give him a simple smile.
That necklace is for my Princess Avery only! wika ko sa sarili.
