Marlo: Gutom na ako eh.
Ako: Kaka-meryenda lang natin sa castle. Ito oh pagkain, aray! (Binatukan ako)
Marlo: May pagkain ka pala dyan tapos ngayon mo lang binigay.
Dzi: Mark, marlo tumigil nga kayo.

Lumingon kami.

Ako: Wow, princesses.
Marlo: Ah eh ate dzi kayo ba yan?
Dzi: Oo, tara na. We're gonna be late.

Sinundo namin ang mga girls sa castle of the princesses. Papunta na kami ngayon sa valdez castle for the ball. Pagdating namin, madami ng mga guest.

Ako: Ate dzi, dun tayo sa kila kuya karlo.

Umupo na kami sa table nila kuya karlo.

Girls: True na true! Hahaha.
Ella: Mga bully kayo ah.
Ako: I love you babe.
Tristan: Ang sweet kuya mark ah.

I hold her hands then kissed it.

Ella: Oo na, I love you too.

Sumandal na siya sa shoulder ko.

Bea: PDA guys.
Ako: Amiel, si bea oh.
Amiel: Trip niyo na naman ako.
Bea: Wag niyo kasi pagtripan ang bestfriend ko.
Ella: Ehem bestfriend daw oh.

I see in amiel's eyes that he was hurt in the word "Bestfriend".

Ako: Babe quiet na, the party is going to start.

The emcee is kuya joven and ate rachel.

Joven: Good evening ladies and gentlemen. I'm prince Joven Hunter Sagobre Gonzaga.
Rachel: And I'm princess Rachelle Anne Lopez Daquis. Welcome to a grand ball here in the castle of the valdez. May I present the valdez family, first is our humble king Rafael Louis and Queen Padme with Prince Niko Mason, Prince Adrian Julius & Princess Anika Alexis.

Lumabas na sila tito rafael then umupo sila sa long table.

Ella: Nasaan si aldric?
Ako: I don't know.

Nag-simula na ang ball, we eat, drink and socialize. Magkakasama kaming mga ateneo boys.

Ako: Kuya karlo where is aldric?
Karlo: He's inside the castle.
Ako: Bakit hindi pa siya lumabas?
Karlo: He will come out later.
Joven: Ehem everyone can I have your attention please.

Tumahimik ang lahat.

Tito Rafael: Thank you joven. Good evening everyone, this grand ball is not just a simple grand ball. Why? Because a decision made this ball special, the engagement between the valdez and galanza family has been made. Ladies and gentlemen, may I my son Prince Aldric Ethan Caymo Valdez and the daughter of King Tobias, Princess Jessica margarett Galanza.

Nagpalakpakan ang mga guest. Lumingon ako sa mga ateneo at la salle boys, hindi din ma-explain ang mga expression nila.

ALDRIC'S POV

Ako: Hey are you ok?
Jema: Aldric explain to me again why we're doing this?
Ako: Because we agreed for the kingdom and we're just pretending for a short time jema. Remember you love armand.
Jema: And you love denden.
Ako: No comment on that.
Jema: Ok then let's go. The guest are waiting.

Nasa door na kami, I heard dad speaking.

Dad: Thank you joven. Good evening everyone, this grand ball is not just a simple grand ball. Why? Because a decision made this ball special, the engagement between the valdez and galanza family has been made. Ladies and gentlemen, may I my son Prince Aldric Ethan Caymo Valdez and the daughter of King Tobias, Princess Jessica margarett Galanza.

I smiled at jema, the door opened then pumasok na kami. Everyone clapped.

Rachel: The two will now start the first dance.

I escorted her to the middle of the dancefloor then we danced the traditional dance. After the dance, I escorted her to the long table.

Dad: Son come here, say a few words.

Lumapit ako kay dad.

Ako: Good evening ladies and gentlemen. My father is right, the engagement is a decision that I and jema made. We are doing this for the kingdom especially for our people. Thank you, enjoy the night.

Umupo na ako beside jema.

Jema: Aldric, I gotta go to the Adu gang.
Ako: I'll escort you.
Jema: Wag na, go to your friends.
Ako: Sige.

I went to the ateneo gang.

Ako: Hi guys.

Walang umiimik, tinititigan lang nila ako.

Ako: Ah guys your looks are scary.
Dzi: Explain yourself mr. Valdez.
Ako: Ok, this engagement is just an arrangement.
Greg: You agreed?
Ako: I agreed for the kingdom.
Fille: How about jema?
Ako: What about her ate?
Fille: Do you have feelings for her?
Ako: We're still on the process ate. Wait where's denden?
Ella: In our secret garden, umalis siya nung sinabi ni tito na engagement.
Ako: Wait puntahan ko lang siya.

Pumunta ako sa secret garden, nandun nga siya. Naka-sandal siya sa tree.

Ako: Hey.
Den: Al, what are you doing here?
Ako: I should ask you the same thing, what are you doing here?
Den: Just catching some fresh air.
Ako: Really? By the way, the music can be heard from here. Can I have this dance? Please?

I did my puppy eyes.

Den: Hahaha you don't need to do that, of course I will dance with you.

I put her hands in my shoulders then I put my hands in her waist.

Ako: What do you think of the engagement?
Den: I don't understand why there became an engagement between you and jema.
Ako: Well, my parents and her parents decided to pair us both for some good reasons daw.
Den: Then you just agreed?
Ako: Jema is beautiful, smart, aray! (Kinurot ako)
Den: Why did you agreed?
Ako: For the kingdom and malay mo baka magustuhan ko din siya someday.
Den: I thought that marriage arrangement is long gone.
Ako: Ah enough questions muna den.
Den: Al, I stop aldfred from courting me.
Ako: Ha? Why?
Den: It doesn't feel right and I think I fall inlove to my secret admirer.
Ako: Your secret admirer?
Den: Yes, the one I'm always telling you about. But I have problem Al.
Ako: What's the problem?
Den: I think he given up on me.
Ako: Given up on you? Paano na yan? What's  your plan?
Den: I think I will wait for him or either I investigate who he is.
Ako: You will do that?
Den: Yes, it's time that I should meet him in person.
Ako: Well, goodluck on finding who he is. I hope you will find him.
Den: Thanks, let's go back inside. Your fiancee is waiting.
Ako: She's with her friends and our friends are waiting for us. Then as your escort, shall we go to them princess?
Den: Escort?
Ako: Yes, think of me as your secret admirer.
Den: Your serious?
Ako: Yes, shall we?

I hold her hand in an escort manner then smiled at her, she smiled back.

Den: Of course.

If only you know den, if only I can ease the pain from you.
