"hello, mommy?" i said as I answered my phone.
We're already here at the house. I'm excited to put the new posters in my room, and to fit the Lucy Heartfilia costume I bought even the jacket from the anime series The Prince of Tennis. But mommy suddenly called.
"hi, baby. How are you? Did you have fun at the mall?" she asked.
Hindi na ako nagtataka na alam niya na galing kami ng mall, dahil siguradong ini-report na iyon ni Ronan. He's always doing that.
"Yes mom!Where's daddy? " I told her enthusiastically.
"Glad to hear that, baby. He's busy with work, I'll tell him to give you a call later."
Dad is always busy with work. Kaya kung minsan hindi ko na siya nakakausap, pero hindi iyon dahilan para magalit at magtampo ako sa kanya. Daddy loves me and that is already enough for me, everything he do are for my sake. And if it's his day-off he calls me and well talk nonstop.
"okay, mommy"
"I need to go baby, I have something important to attend to. Wait, before I forgot we'll be sending Chase there by next week I think? I'll just inform you."
"Chase? Why? "
Chase? Why would they send him here?
"I'll explain it to you next time, okay? Bye bye baby."
"bye. "
Chase Walker is also a butler. Just like Ronan he came from the Family of Butlers, but the Parker Family are ahead of them. Their family aren't in good terms because of some issues.
Si Chase ay naglilingkod din para sa pamilya namin, and his still under training in what I remember. Kaya nagtataka ako kung bakit ipapadala siya dito ni mommy.

"Good Morning Butler Ronan! " I told him while standing beside the door. He is now cooking out breakfast, and he looks kinda funny. He's wearing again his uniform but the apron he wears is too girly.
"ohayou gozaimasu ojou-sama!" he greeted me. it's monday today, so it means he need to speak a little bit Japanese, just simple phrases like yes or no, greetings and the way he calls me.
I made this deal before, para magtanda siya at hindi na hamakin ang mga anime. Every Monday and Friday he is obligated to speak in Japanese.
"Did Mommy told you about Chase?"
"hai"
"do you know their reason for sending him here? " I asked him
"ie, but I think he'll be here to help for the preparations of your debut, ojou-sama"
"maybe" sabi ko.
It will be my birthday soon, and I'll start to prepare for it together with Ronan and the professionals that my parents will send.
By that time, kailangan ko ng maraming bantay. Magmula kasi noong na-kidnap ako, nagtago na ako sa mata ng publiko. Being the heiress bring me threats, maraming tao ang nagnanais na makuha ang yaman namin.
sabi ni mommy, when i was kidnapped before. Nanghingi daw ng ransom ang mga kidnappers worth $1 million, ipinangako ng mga ito na ibabalik ako basta makuha nila ang pera. Mom were ready to give the money but the kidnappers change their plan. Doon na nagsimula ang gulo.
I can't remember everything that time, maybe I am too young. All I have are fragments.
Nahuli naman ang mga ito pagkatapos, when the police question them. Sinabi nung isa na may nag-uutos lang sa kanila, but they doesn't know him personally. He just sends money to their accounts, and I told mommy that time that I hear them talking to someone at the phone.
But past is past and I have Butler Ronan beside me. So far, wala pa naman masamang nangyayari sa akin dito sa Pilipinas. I'm living like a normal person, not the heiress, not being treated like a princess.
I'm only Aliyana, nothing more - beside having a Butler- and nothing less. Anyway they doesn't know him as my butler. He is my boyfriend in front of them.
