Chapter XXX:

(Sam POV)

It only just a dream. Everything was just a sort of a dream--- the chopper ride, the dance, the riding lessons, the playful chase, and the kiss in the moonlight. All the wonderful memories seem to be just a visionary creation. A mere visionary creation of the imagination. It would remain so, I guess.

And the blasting noise of mechanical alarm clock in its full-blown mode repeatedly ringing sending messages through the auditory nerve, passing to the temporal lobe, it occurred to me-----it's high time to wake up.

A single tear hastily made an escape, finding its way and streamed down my cheeks. Again. . . the intolerable pain met halfway and the supposedly singular shed becomes a steady downpour.

Realizations dawned me. The ugly revelations of my medical conditions way, way back--- me, threatened by sudden death due to my illness was already worse. Yet, the pain it brought was completely nothing compared to the fact that the person whom you cherish and trust no longer believe you, no longer trust you and no longer at your side. Then, it hit me. . . it was a lot worst after all!

Mas nakabubuti na rin siguro na ganito ang nangyari. Lalo lang siyang masasaktan pag nalaman niyang iiwan ko lang din siya. It's way better to end the chapter of our story like this.

(Dustin POV)

It pains me out to see Siammy. She looked devastated and all. Flamingo Dedrei told me everything---- about her being the Crown Princess and engaged to be married to Crown Prince Jace Frederrick. He's the same person who personally came to API for business trancastions.

Akala ko, pag nangyaring nagkakalabuan na sila ni Insan ay pwede na akong umekstra, ngunit hindi pala. Hindi pala kelanman ako magkakaroon ng pagkakataon na umekstra sa buhay niya.

Nagpakawala ako ng malalim na buntung-hininga.

I saw Siammy stepped out from the gym—the dojang. Yes, nagtatrabaho pa rin siya bilang TKD mentor.

It might be the careful intervention of the palace security kung bakit hindi agad kumalat ang balita hinggil sa diumano'y paglalagalag ng prinsesa sa bansang Pinas. That's why she's still free to roam around without the threat of paparazzi's.

Nakasuot siya ng kupasing maong na pantalon na eksakto lang ang hakab sa katawan at puting t-shirt. Naka-tirintas ang buhok nito saka naka-itim na bonnet. Isang sneakers ang sapin nito sa paa.

I can't help myself but smile at the sight of her.

And she was back. Back into playing larks, dressing as a tramp. Indeed, a ragamuffin royalty.

Sinundan ko siya ng tingin hanggang sa makalbas siya ng naturang establisyemento. Isang taxi ang huminto sa tapat. Bumaba roon ang isang kariktang di iba sa karamihan.

Sopistikada ang anyo. Nakalugay ang itim at makintab nitong buhok. She was wearing a dark glasses and high heeled closed shoes. Dangling in her right arm, an authentic Asprey designer bag. Nang lumingon ito sag awing entrance ng building ay gayon na lamang ang panlalaki ng mga mata ko.

Nakailang hakbang pa lang ito ng may kung sinong biglang kumaripas ng takbo at bigla na lang hinablot ang dalang handbag nito.

$#%+! A snatcher!

There was a commotion outside. At nakita mismo ng dalawang mata ko ang ginawang paghuli sa magnanakaw.

Believe it or not, it was Siammy who captured the culprit and brought back to the owner the stolen merchandise.

Ginamit lang naman  ng mahal na prinsesa ang kaalaman nito sa martial arts upang mapatumba ang kalaban.

 Then I heard a running footsteps behind me. Dashing past my direction a worried figure of a persona heading straight to where the commotion sets.
