Invitation

"Finally," she said and a smiled.

A woman with pink curly hair, red lips, cold ocean blue orbs. She's wearing old fashioned pink dress with a heart shape designs and silver accents. She's also smiling mischievous. Overall, she looks elegant and charming, just like her portrait from the book.

Nagsalubong ang mga mata naming dalawa. At first, I'm hesitant, but I can't lose this chance. I worked hard for this chance.

I cleared my throat. "Pwede ba 'kong pumasok?" Tanong ko sa kanya at parang natauhan ito.

"You may, you may." She answered at inayos ang pagkakaupo.

Unang itinapak ko ang kaliwang paa ko. Pagpasok ko ay nakita ko ang kabuoan ng kwarto niya. A large sets of sofas, light pink floral wallpaper, a queen size bed. Punong puno ng pink items ang buong kwarto.

I looked at her. "You're the Queen of Love, tama ba ako?" Tanong ko sa kanya.

She scans, from my face to my feet, then back to my face. Her face shows a real judgement of her. Her eyes are squinting, furrowed eyes. In addition, I think she's expecting someone to open the door. Not me. She's disappointed.

"You're right. I'm the queen of love." She answered and rolled her eyes. Napunta sa mga kuko niya ang tingin.

"Ahmm...queen of love---"

She cut my words. "Heart." Sabat niya.

Kumunot ang noo ko sa sinabi niya. My lips parted in confusion. "Huh?" Takang sabi ko.

"Call me heart, darlin'. Hindi ka na nainform na iyon ang tawag sa akin? Queen of love is too long." Mahabang sagot niya at tumingin sa akin. Her voice is sweet and sexy.

Napangiti na lang ako at tumango. "Miss Heart, can I ask you a favor?" I smiled sweetly to her.

"Favor?!" Her voice echoed inside the castle. Nagulat ako sa pagsigaw niya. Then she realized it. Napatakip siya ng bunganga. "Sorry. Nagulat lang, darling." She apologized to me.

"Yes, favor." I assured her, that she heard me right.

"Darlin', I'm not doing any favor. I only do contracts." She answered. From leaning from her chair, she stood up. Heart walked to her table full of old papers.

She can't do me a favor? My sweet smile slowly disappeared from my face.

"Why?" I asked again.

Heart faced me. May hawak na siya ngayong papel. I think it's the contract. Lumapit siya sakin at iniabot iyon.

It's a contract.

"I only use my magic for contract, darling." She answered again and sat again on her chair.

I stared at the contract. "I didn't risked my life just to have a contract with you. Alam ko ang mga possibleng mangyari if I entered a contract. You owe me a favor. Ako ang nag-open ng pinto mo." Sumbat ko sa kanya.

I met her ocean orbs; they're not glaring but it's giving intensity.

Then she clapped her hands and smiled widely and laughed sweetly. "You're smart. I like it," Umupo siya ulit sa upuan niya. Is she serious?

"Honestly, I'm waiting for someone to open the door. I think hindi ikaw iyon. Your hair is light brown. You're not that girl. How did you opened the door?" She asked.

Heart is still chuckling. Even her laugh is sweet. The books says she just all about love but not heartbreak, smells sweet. All about her is sweet.

And, she's expecting someone. Nakuha nito ang isip ko. Kaya pala siya mukhang disappointed nang makita niya ako. And who could be that girl?
