Sun Princess

~ CHAPTER 1: MOVING OUT ~

"I'm going with Sunny."

Nag-echo sa tenga at isipan ko ang sinabi ni Kuya. Did I heard it right or am I just dreaming?

Pinisil ko ang pisngi ko nang pagkadiin-diin at namlumo na lang ako dahil totoo ang nangyayari ngayon at hindi panaginip.

Nalipat si Kuya sa direksyon ko and he seems that he knew that I disapproved to what he said as while ago based on my expression.

But he still ask me about my thoughts.

"Payag ka ba?"

I didn't answer him right away so I think through about it throughly.

Kapag sasama siya magiging awkward kami like hello, hindi kami close because of our differences at isa pa he doesn't spend his time with me. Masyado siyang focused sa studies at sa mga kaibigan niya when he have free time.

If I disapproved it then I'll have a peace of mind living just by myself. No awkwardness will happen and no one will ever disturb me. I just wanna enjoy my life.

Nang makapagdesisyon na ako ay nilapitan ko siya at tiningnan sa mata.

"Hindi ako papayag na sumama ka Kuya." I said to him in a serious tone.

Nagulat ito sa naging sagot ko at agad naman ito napalitan ng pagkalito, "why?"

"Why? Because I just don't want you here beside me. Eyeing me and anything you could think of. Hindi ba pwedeng maging independent naman ako?"

Dama ko ang lungkot na nakapalibot sa kanya pero hindi ko ito pinansin pa at naglakad na lang palayo sa Throne Room.

And before I could leave straight, I said to him my last words.

"If you are intending to follow me, huwag mo ng gawin yan."

Then I walk away from the room.

*-*-*

I went back to my room to continue what I am doing earlier. Wala na ako'ng balak pang pakinggan pa ang sunod na pag-uusapan nila because it was rude of me if I just listen to it.

And I don't belong here...

Wala ako'ng naramdaman na sense of belonging dito sa kaharian na ito. All I see to them is like stranger to me kahit pa 'yung mga tao dito ay mababait ay gano'n din ang nakikita ko sa kanila.

Palaisipan pa rin sa'kin kung bakit gusto ako ilapag sa mundo ng mga tao nila Mama at Papa pero excited ako na malaman kung anong klaseng tao sila. I hope that I could feel a sense of belonging there...

Siguro... ang sarap sa pakiramdam na may nagmamahal sa'yo kasi ako wala ako naramdamang ganoon mula bata pa ako.

Inabot ako ng gabi sa kakaayos ng mga gamit. Ang dami 'kong mga gamit na dadalhin doon. Ayokong may maiwan ako'ng gamit kahit isa dito.

Gusto ko kumain kaso ang katawan ko naman tinatawag na ng antok kaya ibinagsak ko ang katawan ko sa kama at natulog.

*-*-*

I bid goodbye to my parents, but not as warm as my brother whenever I see him leaving out of the castle.

I don't feel any sadness today, maybe because of our current relationship. So wash away that thought inside my mind and went inside the portal.

But Father suddenly stopped me and I look at him irritably, yet I changed it right away as he has something to say to me.

"By the way, I forgot to tell you that you won't be bringing your things---all of it."

I was surprised to what Father said, I suddenly feel upset because I don't like leaving my things here in this place.

"Why though?" I threw him a curious look on him, "I can bring my thing whatever I want Father and besides, you don't care about me at all as if you don't treat me like your legitmate child."

He wanted to reach me, but he stop and look away from me.

"I'll be going now."

I step inside the portal and the place suddenly changed, it was like I was in the outer space as it is pushing me forward and I could even feel my body being heavy.

I saw a white light as I get nearer to it the light became more bigger and bigger. I was pushed forcefully and its strong brightness touched my eyes making me to cover it with my hands.

And the next thing I knew... I got swollen by the light not knowing of where the portal will drop me.
