Royal 4
Meteor’s POV
“Ate Meteor, Is there something wrong?,” Alice asked while we’re walking on our way to Leona’s parlor. “You look bothered kasi eh.”
“Nako Ateng! Wag mong problemahin ang Snow White gang na ‘yan! Keribels natin sila next week~! Wag kabahan, naloloka ang beauty mo,” kinumpas-kumpas pa sakin ni Leona yung susing hawak niya. Sheez, sa sobrang lalim ng iniisip ko, hindi ko na namalayang nandito na pala kami sa parlor.
Shtbrix naman kasi! How come that guy knows me? Damn. This is trouble.
“I think it is better if we go back to the palace, Alice. May event pa tayong pupuntahan bukas,” pag-iwas ko sakanila. I need to investigate that guy. He and his group ‘Snow White’.
Kinuha ko na yung music player ko na naiwan kanina dito sa parlor at nilagay sa back pack. Damn bigla akong nawalan ng gana.
Nakakainis naman kasi eh. Hindi tuloy ako mapakali.
“Alam mo ateng,” umupo si Leona sa harap ko. “Okay lang naman sakin na sabihin mong gwapo yung guy. Sige na, ipapaubaya ko na siya sayo. Hanggang pantasya na lang ako sakanya, okay? Wag na sad Ateng.”
Tss. Akala ko naman seryosong-seryoso sya.
“That’s not what I’m thinking. Sheesh,” I heavily sighed.
“Eh ano ba kasi yun, Ate Meteor? Share share din pag may time.”
I sighed again. Sasabihin ko ba sakanila? O hindi?
Ugh. This is too depressing. I hate it.
“He knows me. He knows our identity. We’re dead.”
~~~**~~~
“Oh? Bakit malungkot ang mukha ng prinsesa? Something have gone wrong, I guess,” bungad sakin ng isa pang ako—este si Casey pala. Tinulungan niya akong makalabas sa entrance dun sa may closet at kinuha yung back pack ko.
“You could say that,” I let myself fall into the fluffiness of the bed. Finally I’m already in my bedroom. Masyadong nakakapagod ngayong araw.
“What happened?,” tanong ulit niya habang tinatanggal yung sapatos ko. “Akala ko may nangyari na sayo. It’s already 5 minutes before midnight. Eto na ata ang pinaka-late mong uwi.”
“Long story. Too tired and lazy to explain.”
“Oh you better explain it, Princess. Aba’t hindi lang ikaw ang magkakaproblema kapag may nangyari sayo no! Sabit din ako.”
Humarap ako sakanya with my eyes closed. Sinubukan kong ikwento sakanya yung mga nangyari ngayong araw. Hindi ko na alam kung saan ako umabot basta ang alam ko, bigla na lang bumigay ang mga mata ko and I drifted myself to sleep.
The next morning, I woke up with my pajamas on at hindi pa sumisikat ang araw, ginising na ako ni Casey with her physical existence coming back. No double Meteor for today.
“Ugh. Still early, Casey. You ruined my sleep,” I grunted still half asleep. At etong servant ko, wala na atang respeto saakin. Hinila ako pa-upo sa kama at niyugyog-yugyog ako. Great. -_-
“Fine. Fine. I’ll talk to you later. Just give me five more minutes,” pagpupumilit ko. Oh dear, more bed please. I can’t open my eyes. I want to sleep more. Sleep more.
“No more five minutes princess. You better tell me the continuation of your story last night or I will not come with you for today’s event.”
Event? Today? What event is she talking about?—
