"Alena where have you been?" their second eldest called her sister when she appeared out of nowhere in the corner of the garden after knowing that her apwes are in there.

"Amihan!" Alena got jumped scared after seeing Amihan in her front

"Where were you? Mother wanted to meet us earlier but you were nowhere to be found" Amihan

"Amihan you won't believe what I just did!" Alena's eyes were practically sparkling as she was about to tell Amihan

"Let me guess you finally snuck out of the castle, haven't you?" Pirena suddenly appeared from behind the huge ornamental plant

"Pirena?"

"And you probably seen a handsome encantado outside" Danaya materialized from the earth

"How'd you guys know?" Alena had a confused look on her face

"Oh please sister, your mind is too plain and simple for us to decipher. I guess it was only Amihan who didn't get it right away after a few minutes of looking for you" Pirena raised an eyebrow

"Why'd you do that sis? Why'd you break mother's rules?" Danaya looked at Alena with a slight disdaine

The third daughter only bowed down her head

"Yes Alena why did you disobey me?" all of them turned their head when they heard the familiar voice

"Mother" Alena whispers as Mine-a walks closer to them

"Answer me Alena" Mine-a had a stern look on her face

"I-I" Alena stuttered, for she knows that her reason is not acceptable

"You disappointed me Alena" Mine-a had a stern look on her face

The third diwani couldn't do anything but bow down her head as her mother walked passed her

When Mine-a was nowhere to be seen and only the four of them left Pirena walked closer to Alena

"I didn't know that you had it in you, sister?"

"Had what?" Alena looked at Pirena

"The audacity to defy the laws" Pirena smirked while Alena's face turned sour

"Pirena you don't have to rub it in" Amihan comforted her younger sister

"Usually I don't agree with Pirena but I'm with her in this one" Danaya stood beside Pirena and crossed her hands

"I-I-I just wanted to see the outside world" Alena meekly answers

"And what did you see? Did you have a life changing experience out there?" Pirena asked

"I-I-I met a handsome gentleman apwes" just by the mention of it Alena's mood instantly turned good

While the two sisters rolled their eyes

"You know for a diwani Alena you act as if you're a woman from a brothel, suddenly getting excited upon the mention of men" Pirena said

"What did you say?" that caught Alena's attention. It's as if sparks became visible in their line of sight

"I said you act too low for your status" Pirena had a challenging tone in her voice

"O-kay I'm out of here" Danaya said, its as if she doesn't have any appetite to argue more

"Danaya don't lea-" Amihan tried to stop her but she went into evictus before the second could grab her. Leaving Amihan to deal with the two

"Take that back!" Alena's eyes sparkled sea green
