(COMPLETED) MR. SERIES 5: Mr. Snatcher

14

Isang buwan na ang nakaraan. Walang Cardo na nagpaparamdam. Or tawagin na natin siya sa tunay nyang pangalan. Philippe Luis Bourbon.

Every day..Im starting to lose hope. My heart is still hoping that he might show up in my front door. Araw araw akong nangungulila at umaasa. Pero kahit man lang isang tawag ay wala akong natanggap.

Isnt it enough reason to start moving on?

If he cares for me. There would surely be ways to at least give me a call.

Andrea, dapat lumaban ka. You are a Paredes after all. You may not be good enough for a Duke pero marami pa naman sigurong lalaki sa business society na kasing gwapo niya at kasing bait.

It hurts to comprehend that What had made you so happy is simply not meant to stay.

Ngayon sisimulan ko nang mabuhay ng wala siya. After all, I dont know who Philippe Luis is. Wala na ang lalaking mahal ko at si Cardo yun.

"Andrea... how is your heart doing now...?"

"Im fine... broken but trying to live life anew. Ganun talaga ang buhay eh. Ayaw ko namang maging bitter. Para sa akin, Im still lucky at least I learned the real essense of love with that experience. Not everyone too would have a chance in their lifetime to date a king. Ill just look at it at that perspective."

"Im happy that finally thats your point of view now." Sabi ni Lexa, "By the way Andrea. May problema tayong kinakaharap ngayun. We are invited to France for a party at the Borboun house. We cant deny the invitation. Its where all the socialites and business magnates internationally are going to meet. Thats our time to meet the internation board too of our company. Problema lang, are you ready to see him again..? Now on his real identity...?"

"Well Lexa its been more than a month. Maybe we both have moved on. I mean he is a duke after all. Baka ganun lang talaga ang buhay. Im just a commoner so..." and I just shrugged

"So what?! He owes you at least an explaination kaya!"

"Nah...what has been bygones are bygones. Dont wanna care anymore. Im done mourning for his lost. I had cried enough..."

"Ok so well go to france...?"

"If we have to then lets do it."

Nag impaki na siya. Alexa also booked their hotel. Hindi niya alam pero a part of her is excited while a part of her is totally dying just with the thought that she will set foot at France.

Nasa airport palang sila ng France ay hindi na siya mapakali. She dont know how she would really feel and react when he is able to see his face.

Bukas na ang event at the Borboun house. Its with 1,000 guests from all over the world. there are also celebrities, politicians and royal families. She never thought that in her life she is able to get to know and worst fall in love to a real king. She always thought she is already on the peak with her status but when reality hits you that there are more people mightier and richer than you are...then it becomes more of a challenge to aim harder.

Today, mag papa ka busy sila ni Lexa to go some places in France. She has been to paris so theres not much of a need to go back. After all its a romantic place, and it'll just sadden her to know that the person she wants to be with in front of the Eiffel tower is no longer with her. 

There are on their way to the Palace of Versailles. The Palace of Versailles was the principal royal residence of France from 1682 under Louis XIV until the start of the French Revolution in 1789. It also offers a visual history of French architecture from the 17th century to the end of the 18th century. It  is now a monument historique and UNESCO world heritage site, notable especially for the ceremonial , the jewel-like , and the royal apartments. France is indeed rich with history. This is now a tourist spot like a museum with its fancy historical paintings that displays old era of France.

Naglakad-lakad kami ni Lexa sa labas nga palace... inhaling the ambiance of France when from a distance we saw a parade. People are waiving their hands and raising some Monaco Flag. 

"halika Andrea manood tayo..ano kaya yan."

Lumapit kami ni Alexa para maki usyoso... 

"que se passe-t-il? (what is going on?)" I asked one french woman

"La princesse de Monaco est arrivée ... c'est elle dans la limousine qui lui tend la main. (The princess of Monaco arrived...thats her in the limousine waiving her hand.)"

"je vois, merci pour l'information  (I see, thanks for the information)"

The princess was waiving gracefully to the crowd. Pinagmasdan ko siya... its nice to witness a parade like that. She is very composed and elegance screams in the way she stood there and gave very timid smile to everyone. Her aura is glowing and her eyes are sparkling. nang makalampas na sa amin ang parade. Nag pasya na kaming umuwi na ni Lexa sa hotel namin at doon nalang mag hapunan. After all, we are in a five star hotel. We will be resting early today for the event tomorrow evening.

We got only one room with 2 queensize beds. I am now closing my eyes when Lexa talked to me.

"Bestie, excited ka bang makita siya bukas? sigurado ako na nandon siya... Ano kayang hitsura ni cardo ano na ibang personality na talaga ang makikita natin sa kanya bukas...?"

"Lex, theres gonna be a thousand of upper class people. The least that would happen is for him to even recognize us. Wala nang negative lex. Pagod na ang puso ko. Basta once in my life i was loved by a Duke...or if not at least I thought so."

"grabi ka naman...pang movie nga yung nangyari sa inyo eh... paano kaya noh kung lapitan ka niya...?"

"well, I'm going to congratulate him. After all, hindi naman makitid ang utak natin noh. Maybe he just dont love or like me enough to even give me a closure. After all he is a duke and his responsibility to their monarch and their nation is definitely more than what we commoners could imagine..pero tao lang ako. I dont know how Im going to feel if Im already in the situation. basta bahala na ang panahon. Go lang tayo ng go. End of the day hindi naman siya ang minahal ko. I dont know Duke Philippe Luis Borboun, ang kilala ko, ang nakasama ko at ang minahal ko ay si Cardo Dimagiba as far as my heart is concerned."

"haist...ang ganda ng lovestory mo bes kahit masaklap ang ending....hahahhaha"

"gaga ka talaga! matulog na nga tayo..."
