"I am Charlize Quinoa, it is nice meeting you as well." nakangiti niyang sabi as she offers a shake hands. Nakangiting tinanggap ko naman ang kamay niya.
Nakangiti lang siya habang mahigpit na nakahawak sa kamay ako. Errr? Ba't ayaw niyang bitawan ang kamay ko at ang higpit pa ng hawak niya.
"Ahm?? M-My hand." I muttered.
"Oh, sorry hehehe." aniya at agad na binitawan ang kamay ko, hinaplos ko nalang naman ang kamay kong hinawakan niya kanina biglang namanhid kasi.
"Your highness." biglang bulong ng butler na kasama ko kaya naalala ko naman agad kung ba't ako nandito sa hallway.
"Ah, it is really nice meeting you, but I still have something to do so I will now excuse myself." sabi ko as nodded at them, "I hope you'll enjoy the banquet, hope to see you again later."
Nakangiting tumango naman si Charlize habang kalmadong tumango lang si Arlzen kaya naman ay muling ngumiti ako sa kanila bago nagsimulang maglakad paalis.
Damn, grabe ang kaba ko. I wonder if they recognized me? Pero mukang hindi naman, pero what if? Haist! Whatever. Let's just head to where grandma Devia is at alam kong naghihintay na 'yun.
"Happy birthday, Princess. This is another honor for me to be able to see you and be present in your special day." teacher Mizz immediately said as soon as makita niya ako, she's with grandma Devia at mukang kanina pa sila dito sa guests resting room.
"Thank you... I'm sorry I'm late, grandma." sabi ko atsaka naupo sa tabi niya.
"Nope, you're just in time. Our men must now be preparing for the stage." grandma Devia said.
"I'm really excited, you'll be finally performing in front of many people." sabi naman ni teacher Mizz kaya mahinang natawa nalang ako.
"I'm kinda nervous. But there's no backing out, right?" ani ko at agad namang tumango si grandma Devia.
"You should instead be proud and confident. I'm sure everyone would love your performance." nakangiting sabi ni grandma kaya napangiti nalang din ako.
After a short hour na naka standby kami sa guests resting room ay dumating ang butler ni grandma telling us that everything's ready. Kaya nanlamig na naman ang kamay ko dahil sa kaba habang palabas kami.
"Are you ready, your highness?" teacher Mizz suddenly asked.
I just glanced at her with a playful smile, "Of course, I'm always ready."
Tumigil kami sa harapan ng pintuan an the butler open the door for us, nakuha naman agad namin ang atensiyon ng mga bisita. I remain composed as I started walking towards the piano.
