CHAPTER 3: STORY
CLAUDETTE
NAKANGANGA PA RIN akong nakaupo rito sa swing sa loob ng hardin habang kami lang dalawa ng Prinsepe. Nagsisiyahan pa ang mga nobles roon sa malaking mesa kaya naiingayan ako at tumakbo rito sa swing.
Pero hindi ko inakalaing sinundan ako ni Prince Ace!
"Lady Dolce? Are you alright?" Tanong ulit nito sa akin pero nakanganga pa rin ako.
"L-Lady Dolce-"
"Bakit ngayon?! Bakit ngayon ang engagement?!" Bulalas ko sa mukha ni Ace kaya napakamot ito sa batok.
"I don't really care about it." Sabi nito at iniwasan ako saka bumuntong hininga. "Hindi ko naman ito ginusto. Gusto lang ito ni ina." Dagdag pa nito so I rolled my eyes at him.
"I don't like it either. Not one bit." Giit na sabi ko at ikinibit ang mga balikat ko.
"The feeling is mutual." Sabi nito kaya bumuntong hininga na din ako.
Oh? Should I propose him my plan? May plano na ako para sa future ko kung paano ko wasakin ang engagement.
"How about this? After we get married, let's have a divorce." Sabi ko nito at lumingon ito sa akin, "so you can be with your girl or your lover. Whatever it is! I just don't want to get married by you!" Bulalas ko na parang isang spoiled brat saka bumaba na sa swing.
"My girl? Lover?" Napakamot ako sa ulo ko dahil hindi pala ako naiintindihan ng batang ito.
"You like that girl Elisse, right?" Tanong ko nito at nanlaki naman ang mga mata nito and his expression darkened.
"How did you know?" He coldly asked.
"Relax, geez!" I exclaimed and scratch the back of my head. "I saw you blushing while talking to that girl the other day." I lied, obviously.
"Look, Prince Ace. You don't want to get married with me and so do I. Let's keep this a secret. Dapat tayong dalawa lang ang nakakaalam nito." Sabi ko and his face softened.
"How can you talk like an adult when you're just 2 years younger than me?" Taas kilay nitong tanong sa akin kaya kumunot ang noo ko.
Wala akong oras para ibahin ang topic!
"I study in my room! Of course I have some knowledge!"
"You study?"
"Oh come on! Just listen to me!"
"I'm all ears, lady Dolce." Sabi nito kaya naiirita na ako!
"Ah bahala na! Kung hindi ka makikinig sa akin, eh di hindi mo na makakasama si Elisse habang buhay!" Inis na sabi ko nito at bigla ako nitong nilapitan saka hinawakan ang magkabilang balikat ko!
"W-What did you just say?" Giit at galit nitong tanong so I rolled my eyes at him.
"So? Makikinig ka ba o makikinig ka?" Tanong ko nito at humugot ito ng hininga.
