"Hey..." Tawag ko sa isang babaeng nakaputing cocktail dress at umiinom ng wine, "I'm so glad you came."

"Yeah. I came with the coaches. They forced me, actually." 

Ngumisi lang ako at hindi na pinansin ang huling sinabi. I get her. She once thought that Lyko would be, could be hers. She once thought that he liked her before with the way he treated her, but he's just like that. Sobrang paasa nga, e.

What happened to her served as a lesson to me, na hindi dapat ako umasa kay Lyko kasi ganoon talaga siyang tao. Caring at mabait kahit hindi ka niya gusto in a romantic way. I know where to stand and the line was drawn. 

I didn't want to cross that because I know where that will lead me. 

Sandali kaming natahimik dalawa. There's still a hint of awkwardness between us since we weren't really that close before. She tried to because she wants something from me, and still a turn off for me whenever I think about it but it's happened already.

Whatever she did before didn't really affect me in a bad way. 

"Isaiah looks good today." Di ko maiwasang kumento sa lalaking nakared suit at nakatayo lang sa gilid ng venue. 

"He's always looking good." 

I wonder if she's aware of his feelings for her? I guess not. I haven't really seen them alone together or interact much. But hell, when I say that Isaiah glances at her a lot, it really means every freaking second.

Unlike any other few weddings I attended back in the mortal world, this has no games and icebreakers but just plain drinking and chatting with people. I thought I might find it boring since walang nangyayari but I feasted my eyes on the enchanting designs everywhere. Hindi yata ako magsasawa kakatingin. 

Palalim na ang gabi  pero halos hindi pa nababawasan ang mga bisita. Medyo maingay rin dahil sa mga kwentuhan at tawanan.

"Oh! The bride looks so wonderful!" May matandang babae ang dumating kasama ang pamilya nito, dalawang babae at ang kanyang asawa.

She hugged me even though I didn't really know her so I just smiled. Sena excused herself politely and left. 

"I believe I haven't introduced myself yet. I am lady Imogen Adler of Mantine and these are my daughters, Mazikeen and Luci." 

The first one offered her hand on me and introduced herself as Mazikeen, the elder, and Luci did the same. There's something about their stare on me that makes me conscious. It's as if they're judging me with malicious eyes. 

The two girls moved with limit and grace. As if their gestures are perfectly arranged or rehearsed. They look proud yet prim with their chests up and straight backs.

"I'm sure you're familiar with my daughters. They're quite famous." 

Kiniling ko ang ulo ngunit hindi nawawala ang ngiti, "Sorry...?"

"Oh! Mukhang hindi mo sila kilala kahit gaano sila ka-sikat. They enrolled for Agreassine's Princess Finishing School. Hindi ka ba roon pumasok?" Nilingon niya ang mga anak na may kakaibang ngiti.

Umiling ako ngunit huli na ang lahat nang mapagtanto kung saan patungo ang usapan na ito. 

"Oh... don't tell me hindi ka pumasok sa isang princess finishing school? Then how did you meet the prince? I'm sorry, I'm not from Agreassine that's why I don't hear stories much from here." Her eyes glistened evilly, "Would you tell me?"
