Life of a Princess (Crown Series #1)

WARNING: SPG

"Hindi ko akalain na makikita kita ulit na gumawa ng chocolate chip cookies. It's been a long time since I last saw you making one." nakangiting sabi ni Farra habang pinagmamasdan akong tanggalin ang cookies sa tray para makapagsalang ng panibago.

We ate lunch so early and I saw there's ingredients here for cookies so I thought why not make cookies if we have the ingredients.

"I just missed making one." and this is my grandma's recipe.

Yes, she's the one who taught me how to make cookies. As a young kid, I really love eating cookies and every night I go in the kitchen to find one at sakto na nandoon ang lola kong reyna kaya sya na mismo ang gumawa ng cookies para sa akin.

Nagustuhan ko iyon kaya nagpaturo na ako sa kanya.

"This is childhood," bulong ni Farra habang kumakain ng cookies.

"Hmm?"

"Parang bumalik ako sa nakaraan. Noong dinadalhan tayo ng cookies ng lola mo. Kuhang kuha mo yung recipe nya." nakangiting sabi nya sa akin kaya napangiti ako.

Kumuha ako ng isa at kumagat. She's right. It's still the same. It taste like grandma's cookies. Ofcourse this is her recipe.

"You missed your grandma." biglang sabi nya kaya natigilan ako sa paglagay ng chocolate toppings.

I looked at her with full emotion. "Yes, I do." napapikit ako nang maalala ko kung paano nawala sa amin si grandma.

"Wag mo na alalahanin ulit ang nangyari." nahihirapan nyang sabi.

Farra saw it, too. The three of us saw it. Kung paano sya sumakay ng kotse at kung paano umandar at binunggo ang sasakyan nya. Kung paano sumabog ang kotseng sinasakyan nya.

I saw how my grandma died. She died infront of me.

You know? She was just smiling to us and saying goodbye but I didn't know that that was the last time of her saying goodbye to us.

I miss her smile, her cookies, her huggies and her comforting words.

"Hey, don't cry." kung hindi pa lumapit si Farra at tinapik ang likod ko ay hindi ko mamamalayan na umiiyak na pala ako.

Pinunasan ko ang muka ko bago tinapos ang ginagawa at inilagay iyon sa oven para maluto.

"She did many good things for us. We were young when it happened but I know it's not just an accident."  hinarap ko sya at nakita ko kung paano sya umiling.

"Eto na naman tayo, Elly. Ilang taon mo na sinasabi iyan. We all know na aksidente ang nangyari."

I know she's talking to me as a friend.

"Farra, the driver's not drunk. Hindi rin sira ang break ng truck at hindi rin natutulog yung driver nang binangga nya ang sasakyan ni Grandma. At sinong tao ang babangga ng sasakyan na may flag ng Nethelor? Tapos sasabihin na aksidente ang nangyari?"

Agad nya akong nilapitan at pilit na pinapahinahon. "Calmn down. Wala na tayong magagawa dahil patay na yung lalaking nakabangga."

"I know it's not just an accident. It's...make any sense."

I know someone planned it. I thought hard about it.

"What do you mean?"

"After she died, everything went wrong. Grandpa almost give up his crown to Uncle Tyler. Uncle Tyler used me to get jewelries from the royal museum. Grandpa removed him and Feliz from the line of succession as well from being royal. A lot of people showed their hates for our family. They accused my Father that he killed Grandma because he knows that Grandpa will be depressed and that will be caused him to give his crown to his heir."
