The Prince's Servant

11.2- Ball

Jacharias' POV

Mariel Falcon

The woman who caught my attention and my heart, but unfortunately, it seems like she doesn't feel the same way.

I believe in love at first sight. She, Mariel, let me experience that shit for the first time .

She's, somehow, unique and peculiar from other girls. Nagkandarapa na ang ibang babae upang makausap ako, eh siya? Parang normal lang na gawin 'yon.

She's the one. I will do anything, to get her, even without her feelings.
 

She will be mine.

Mariel's POV

Psh, sinong nagsabi na gusto kong pumunta sa ball? 

Hayst, they jump to conclusions so early.

I will not go there, I'm tired. Wala din namang magandang maiidudulot ang umattend ng ball diba?

"Hindi, hindi ako sasali sa ball. Sinong nagsabi na pupunta ako? Kaya, para walang away, hindi na ako pupunta doon." Sabi ko.

"What? Seriously? Lahat ng mga tao gustong pumunta doon sa ball. May ibang gusto, pero hindi makakapunta. You are lucky!" Wika ni Matthias.

Tumingin ako kay Jacharias na nakatingin na pala sa akin. Eeesh.

"Well, just let her go then. I is bored here." Sabi ng babaeng nangangalang Graciella. Tumingin ako sa kanya t parang natawa.

Yea, lahat ng royalties alam kung paano magsalita ng Ingles. But, the grammar.

Sayang ang ganda niya kung ganyan siya mag-asta. Mukhang may nakita akong kasangga ni Therese dito. Esh. Hindi talaga nauubusan ng kontrabida ang mundo.

"What are you laughing at, fool? You're just a mere servant, fool." Saad niya nang nakita niyang may kumawalang tawa sa bibig ko.

"I'm sorry Your Highness, but your grammar is wrong. Let this mere servant correct you." I stepped forward. "Yeah, the word 'I' is singular, yet, you use a plural verb to pair with. Well, I'm not a mirror afterall to call me a fool. I mean, you use the wors fool too much, is that the only word you know?"

Napaawang mga bibig nila, except na nga lang kay Matthias dahil alam naman niya talaga, noon pa.

"You can understand- I mean speak English language?" Pagtatakang tanong ni Jacharias.

Oo nga pala, I lied to him.

"Of course."

"How?"

"Because Matthias taught me."

"In just a short time span?"

Gosh, bakit ang raming tanong ni Jacharias?

"Ahhm, oo. I'm not-"

"A typical servant." Pinutol ni Matthias ang sinabi ko. I rolled my eyes at him. Pero parang natawa na din ako, inside.

Napatingin naman ako kay Graciella, like bukas pa din ang baba niya.

Becareful, baka pasukan ng langaw.

"Well, who's gonna be your date? Everyone in the kingdom should go, even the servants. This is the law from the king." Sabi ni Matthias.

I sighed.

Hindi, may ka date na si Matthias. Ayaw kong mang-agaw.

The only man I know is Jacharias, well except lang sa kapatid ko.
