Winter Wonder Ball (Part 3)

Melody's Point of View

Nagsimula na rin pumainlang ang isang pamilyar na musika.

Nakaupo lang akong mag-isa habang nakayukong nakatitig sa wine glass na hawak-hawak ko.

Gusto ko na rin umuwi at matulog.

Napahikab ako nang hindi ko namamalayan na may nakatingin na pala sa akin.

"Ang aga pa ah, antok agad?" tanong sakin ng isang pamilyar na boses.

Marahas akong tumingin sa kanya at matalim na tiningnan sa mga mata.

I pressed my lips and looked away. "What do you want this time Alto?" I hate the way he looks at me.

His jawline, earrings, the way he licked his lips. Damn! Hindi talaga uso ang panget sa lugar na ito.

I looked up into his eyes and the image of Prince Alto's brother played in my head.

Napailing ako. Bakit ko naman biglang naisip agad yung lalakeng iyon?

"Come on Melody! Let's dance!" pamimilit ni Alto. Hawak-hawak nito ang braso ko.

I smacked his hand from arm. "Ayoko." Matigas kung sabi.

Nakaupo lang ako at walang pakialam sa pangungulit nito.

"Why?" Alto pouted and I must admit that he looks like a...bunny. Isang kunehong bad-boy o gangster. Hindi ko naman mapigilan ang matawa sa iniisip.

I threw my head back and laugh, halos maluha luha na ako sa kakatawa.

I could almost see the amusement in Alto's eyes. The prince must definitely in shocked knowing that I can laugh like this.

"Mukha kang matandang bunny! Hindi mo bagay ang magpacute! Nakakatakot!" natatawa kung komento pero may nasagip ng aking mga mata sa likuran ni Prinsepe Alto.

I saw Prince Lark approached a girl.

Tumatawa pa rin ako habang pinagmamasdan ko ang Prinsepe at ang babae, she has a gray hair. Maputi ang babae at kahit nakatalikod ito alam kung nakita ko na ito dati. Maybe not. Maybe yes.

I shrugged at that thought.

Napansin ni Alto kung sino ang tinitingnan ko. Prince Alto clenched his jaw. Kaya tumigil ako sa pagtawa.

Nag-iwas ako ng tingin at umayos ng upo.

I heard him chuckle in amusement.

Umismid ako. "Please lang Alto, leave me alone." I don't know what happened but I felt something weird in my chest.

Parang may tumutusok na maliit na karayom nang makita ko kung paano kausapin ni Prince Lark ang babae.

"Let's dance now." He pleaded.

I rolled my eyes. "Please, go away Prince Alto!" I insisted.

"How can you be so gorgeous, kahit na mukha kang dragon?" natatawa nitong sabi.

Tinapunan ko siya ng masamang tingin.

"Gusto mo bang malaman kung sino yung babae?" he teased and I mentally shake my head as I pinched the bridge of my nose in irritation. "I told you, leave me alone!"

Tumayo ako at agad na tinalikuran si Prince Alto.

"Well, I heard the Elders talking about the Mystic Harmic." I heard him say from behind me so I turned around.
