Dear Prince Charming,

The Bride and The Groom

*Mielle's POV*

Several days have passed, feeling ko galit pa rin sa akin si beast. Bihira nya akong kausapin tapos cold pa. I explained to Alexandrei everything—lahat ng nangyari that day, naintindihan naman nya.

Napahiga ako sa bench dito sa rooftop. I watch the clouds on the sky then I sighed. Napahawak ako sa necklace na bigay ni Cipher, nakabalik na kaya sila sa Spain? Nakaalis na kaya sila dito?

I started humming a song pero napatigil din ako kasi may biglang dumating.

"Let's talk, Drei"

Napaupo ako nung narinig ko yung boses ni Arielle. I heard footsteps na papalapit sa pwesto ko.

"What is it, my princess?" Alexandrei asked.

Natahimik sila, all I can hear is the whistling wind and the trees. Kahit nakatago ako, nararamdaman ko yung tension between them. Lately, napansin kong parang may problema si Alexandrei, looks like it's with Arielle.

"How long have you been lying to my face, Drei?" Arielle asked.

I keep myself calm, feeling ko may kinalaman ako sa paguusapan nila ngayon.

"What!?" Alexandrei asked.

"Oh come on, Drei! Maglolokohan pa ba tayo dito?" Arielle asked.

"Get straight to the point, Arielle!" inis na sabi ni Alexandrei.

I heard the sobs of Arielle, what the hell?! She's crying?!

"Yung mga pagaalala mo sa kanya, yung closeness mo sa kanya, yung pakikitungo mo sa kanya, yung iba yung tawa mo pag kasama mo sya, yung kahit busy ka basta nagpasama sya sasama ka. Tell me, pinsan mo ba talaga si Mielle?" Arielle asked.

"Anong—"

"Mielle ba talaga yung pangalan nya?" She asked again.

Napatayo na ako sa bench dahil nabanggit na yung pangalan ko. Well it's not my real name but, it's still my name!

"Hindi ko na kaya yung pagsisinungaling mo, Drei. Pakiramdam ko niloloko mo ako" Arielle said between her sobs.

"Let me explain, Arielle" Alexandrei said.

"Sana noon pa, Drei" Arielle said then I heard footsteps na pahina ng pahina.

"Arielle, please magusap tayo" Alexandrei begged.

"Ayoko na—"

Then I showed up.
