The Twentieth

LOUISE's PoV

Its been two weeks since the six of us arrived here in the kingdom of the Arrelton's. After the two days of resting after we came here, nilibot namin ang buong palasyo at naggala sa ibat ibang lugar. Medyo nagiging close na ulit namin si Sven like before, and Im so happy right now and glad at the same time.

"I love this place." napalingon ako kay Sven na sumulpot sa tabi ko habang pinagmamasdan ang lugar kung nasaan kami.

"Me too. Im falling inlove.." sagot ko habang nakatitig sa kanya.

"This one of my favorite places here in my country. If you want, I can show you many places. I bet that you'll love it as much as I love them." ngumiti ako at tumango bago kami maglakad muli.

"So, I heard before that you're the next heir of this country?" tanong ko.

"Yes. That's right." sagot niya. Inalayan niya akong umupo sa isang bench at umupo din siya sa tabi ko.

"This is one of the reasons kung bakit namin kayo inimbitahan dito. I mean, how could I forget you guys in this very important occasion in my life." pagpapaliwanag niya.

"I understand. This is very important for you, you have all of our support" sagot ko.

"Thank you very much Louise. I appreciate it." sagot niya at ngumiti. "But also, to say sorry for what happened eight years ago. I know it was stupid of me to leave you guys like that." pagpapatuloy niya, then I gently put my hand on his shoulder saying "It's alright".

"After the day that you disappeared, the six of us desperately look for you. I think that lasted for more than three years, nag away away kami, nag iiyakan, nawawalan na ng pag asa yung iba samin, then some other students from school started spreading rumours about you and about us. Those years... I could never forget them. It was chaotic, sad, lonely, depressing. Lahat na siguro ng negative feelings naramdaman namin noon. Then one day, we receive a news about you being here in this country."

"That time, we were so relieved and happy at the same time. Knowing you were all right and looking healthy, that's enough para mabawasan man lang ang lungkot namin." pagkwekwento ko, medyo naramdaman ko din na mapapaluha ako pero pinigilan ko dahil those days are over now, right? What's important is that he's here beside me.

"Im so sorry Louise... I know that I should at least try to message you and everyone else but I couldn't. It's so frustrating for me that all I could say is "Im sorry" all the time." umiling agad ako at nginitian ko siya

"It's fine Sven. I know that there's a reason from what had happened before. And you being here was enough for all of us, especially for me..." tinitigan niya ako sa mga mata at naramdaman ko ang paghawak niya sa pisngi ko, then he slowly moves his face to me. Oh my cheeseballs! Is he going to kiss me?!

"PRINCE SVENN!~ LOU!~ BE FASTER! MAIIWAN NA NAMIN KAYO!" sigaw ni Mei kaya naman mabilis din kaming humiwalay sa isa't isa.

"Uhh.. I think we better go now.." saad niya.

"Y-yes.. you're right. Let's go.."

LIAM's PoV

"Hayley.."

"Yes?" sagot niya tsaka tumitig sakin.

"No, it's nothing." saglit kong sagot bago niyaya siya papunta sa farm.

"Hi Prince Liam~" bati sa akin ni Mei kasama ang iba pa.

"Hello Ms.Victoria~" bati ko pabalik at dumiretso kung saan sila nakatayo.

"Alright everyone! You're all invited here to help me with the vegetables, fruits, and also the animals as well~"

"Ahh~ Grandma is at it again." bulong ko.
