Zaria Geraldine Mikaelson is a 'too good' to be true real life princess. She grew up with the responsibility of being the next queen. She knows that before she can rightfully take her throne she would need to b...

"Miss Zaria, it is time for you to wake up." Naririnig kong bulong sa tenga ko. Napabuga ako ng hininga at dahan-dahang dinilat ang mga mata ko. Bumangon ako at ngumiti.
"Thank you for waking me up, Leila. Good morning, what's my schedule for today?" Nakangiti kong bati kahit gusting gusto ko ng umiyak. I barely had any sleep dahil sa dami ng inaasikaso ko.
Once we got back, nothing changed fortunately. Pero nadagdagan lang ang mga ginagawa ko dahil inaasikaso ko lahat ng kailangan sa nalalapit na kasal naming ni Shadow. Before, I don't need anyone to handle my schedule for me dahil kayang-kaya ko naman pero sa dami ng ginagawa ko wala akong choice kung hindi magpatulong kay Leila.
While Daniel is busy learning everything about our kingdom and how to handle it, hindi ko na kailangan dahil mula bata ako I already started learning about this. At dahil medyo hindi maganda ang kanyang past, ngayon niya pa lang ito pinag-aaralan.
Pero kahit sobrang busy niya, once his schedules are done he'll meet me to have dinner or kahit nanonood lang siya sa mga ginagawa ko.
But these last few days hindi siya nakakapunta dahil na rin sa pabalik-balik siya sa kingdom nila at dito para aralin ang pamamalakad ng dalawa.
"You have breakfast with the counselors of Stoviel, then a charity event in Zriland with Ms.Ivy. You have three hours of free time after that, at 4 you have the gown fitting for the engagement party. You also have a photoshoot for Peace Gazette and finally a dinner with your wedding planner." Hindi ko maiwasang matulala sa dami ng sinabi niya, I have to do all of those in just one day? Napabuntong hininga naman ako at dahan-dahang tumayo.
"What time is the breakfast?" Tanong ko sa kanya
"You have an hour and a half to prepare Miss Zaria, then we have to leave for us not to be late." Tumango ako and smiled.
"Thank you Leila. Thank you really." Pasasalamat ko at ngumiti naman siya.
"It's nothing Miss Zaria." She bowed before leaving my room. Once na sigurado na akong mag-isa na lang ako, I jumped back on my bed and screamed with my face buried on the pillows.
*4 hours later*
After the charity event nagyaya si Ivy for lunch at ganun na lang ang tuwa ko dahil sa kagustuhan kong may maka-usap ng hindi tungkol sa nalalapit na kasal at dahil free ang schedule ko.
We're sitting at an exclusive restaurant at wala akong magawa kundi titigan ang mga pagkain na nakalapg sa harap ko. I can't remember the last time I ever had this much time to eat and cherish my food.
"Huy, ba't nakatitig ka lang sa pagkain mo? Sinasanto mo na yata yan eh." Pagpukaw ng atensyon ko ni Ivy. Napatingin ako sa kanya at hindi ko mapigilang maluha ng Makita ko ang nang-aasar niyang mukha. Nataranta naman siya bigla.
"Hala, ba't ka umiiyak. I didn't mean it. I'm sorry hindi ko naman alam na mahal mo pala yang pagkain mo masyado. Stop crying!" Natataranta niyang pagpapatahan. Napatingin siya sa paligid dahilan kung bakit napatigil ako sa pag-iyak. We're in a public space no one is supposed to see me like this.
Pinunasan ko ang luha ko and smiled widely at her.
"Pwede na akong maging artista." Sabi ko pero sinimangutan niya lang ako.
"Shut up, we know that already. Now tell me why you're crying." Tanong niya, umiling lang ako at sumubo na.
"It's nothing don't mind me. I just missed you." Pagbabalewala ko pero hinawakan niya ako sa kamay.
"No, let me guess. You're frustrated dahil sa mga pinapagawa sayo mula ng makabalik tayo, right?" Tanong niya. Nahihiya akong tumango bilang sagot, and I heard her sigh.
"It's just that ganto na ako ka-busy and ni hindi pa nga yung kasal mismo ang pinaghahandaan ko, and no one even knows that I'm getting married. Paano pa kaya kaoag lumabas na ang balita na yun?" Tanong ko, she smiled at me gently.
"Don't worry, once the preparations start Thorne will be right beside you. Dahil by that time he's ready to take the responsibility of ruling two kingdoms with you, his future wife. And once you do it together, wala ka nang mararamdaman na pagod. Because it will all be worth it in the end."
"You think so?"
"I know so, now let me just get my phone and text Mr. Archibald here, since kanina tinext niya ako na kamustahin ka. I'm sure you know na nabo-bored ang isang yun ngayon. Ayaw niya daw nung lesson." Natawa naman ako sa sinabi niya because it's true, Shadow called me awhile ago whining about being bored.
After lunch with Ivy, I continued my day with a lighter heart. Glad to share my frustrations with a friend.
