The Girl You'll Never Know

Chapter 16

"You can rest now. We'll talk again tomorrow morning" Saad ng hari at tumayo naman kami.

"Ihahatid kayo nang mga tagapagsilbi sa inyong mga silid" Ani naman ng reyna at tumango naman kami.

Lumabas na kami at gaya nang sinabi ng hari at reyna, inihatid na kami sa aming silid.

The first door in the 3rd floor of the palace is where trexie entered. I guess it's her room. I headed the second door and entered. The 3rd floor in the palace is a guest room. There are more than 10 guest rooms because the hallway here is too big. I can see another door at the last corner of this hallway that's why I can say that there are a lot of guest rooms here. The girls occupied the left part and the boys at the right part but we are just facing their doors.

I examined my room. Mas malaki ito sa room ko sa Academy. The bed can be occupied for 4 person.

May sariling comfort room din ito.

Nilapag ko na ang dala kung bag at humiga na sa kama. It's so very comfortable. It feels home.

I've been wondering, what will happen if we find the princess? Will everything go back to normal?

I don't know anymore. I can feel that the moment the princess will be found, everything will be different. I can feel that I am going to be left out.

I hope I am wrong.

I went back to my senses when someone knocks on my door. Who could this be?

I checked the time and it's 6 p.m. Andali naman ata nang lahat? Parang umaga kami bumyahe papunta dito tapos gabi na pala kami dadating? Gosh. Diko manlang namalayan ang oras.

I open the door and saw brandon standing.

Kumunot ang noo ko dahil diko alam kung bakit siya kumatok.

"Yes?" Ani ko habang nakatingin sa kanya.

"A-ahm. Do you mind walking with me?" Tanong nito at napakamot sa batok. Cute .

"Nope" sagot ko at lumabas. Sinara ko naman ito at tiningnan siya. "So were are we going?" Tanong ko nang nakatayo lang siya sa pwesto niya.

"I don't know?" Sagot nito na tanong din. Napakunot naman ang noo ko sa sagot niya. Kaloka tong lalaking to ah? Magyayaya tapos di rin naman pala alam kung saan pupunta?

"What do you mean you don't know?" Kunot noong tanong ko.

"A-ahm. I-it's just. A-ahm. I just wanna be with you" Mahinang sagot nito na narinig ko naman.

Napangiti ako at iniwas ang tingin sa kanya. I can feel my cheeks blushed. Gosh. Emegesh!

"Tsk. May garden ba nito?" Tanong ko nalang nang di na siya nagsalita. Napatango naman ito at naglakad na.

Bumaba na kami sa third floor at diko na alam kung saan na kami. Nakakalito kasi itong palasyong to. Andamin pasikot sikot. Maze ka ghurl?

Nang mabuksan ang pintuan sa harap namin ay bumungad samin ang labas. Nasa labas pala kami ng palasyo. Ay sheyt! Sa labas talaga ang garden. Diko manlang naisip yun.

Lumiko kami at parang papunta kami sa gilid ng palasyo.

"Have you been here before?" Tanong ko at umupo.

We are here at the garden of Solaria. It's so peaceful. I roam my eyes around and it's beyond beautiful. The garden is sparkling as if they are diamonds.

The flowers are so rare. I saw a group of butterflies flying towards a yellow flower and my eyes widened when they formed a petal. The little yellow petal earlier is now big. At the first look, mapagkakamalan mo talaga itong petal pero dahil sa nakita ko. It's a butterfly.

"It's so beautiful" Saad ko at nakangiting nagpalinga linga sa paligid.

"Yes it is" Sagot ni brandon. Napabaling ang tingin ko sa kanya na nakangiti habang nakatingin sakin. I smiled at him.

"You didn't answered my question" kunot noong litanya ko ng mapansin na di pala niya sinagot ang tanong ko kung nakapunta naba siya dito.

"Ah sorry. Yes, I've been here before" Sagot nito. Tumango nalang ako.

Napabaling ang tingin ko sa taas. I saw 2 suns and 1 moon. Even though the sun is present at the evening, ang moon ang nakakalamang sa mga ito. And in the morning the solaria is bright as the sun.

How come the suns brightness is low? Gosh. Nakakalito.

"How old are you?" Biglang tanong ni brandon at nakatingin din pala sa taas.

"I'm 18. You?" Tanong ko din. I don't know anything about him except his name. We've been hanging together with the group but all I know about them is limited.

"I'm 20" sagot nito dahilan para manlaki ang mata ko.

Natawa ako bago sumagot. "Oh. You're old" I said suppressing my laughter. Lumingon naman ito sakin na seryoso. Iniwas ko lang ang tingin ko sa kanya.

"I'm not" Seryosong saad nito. Nakonsensiya naman ako. Baka di nito matanggap na matanda na siya.

"Oh. Sorry about that" Saad ko nalang habang nakatingin parin sa itaas.

The stars are showing already. They sparkles that made the sky so bright like a diamond. Shine bright like a diamond.

"It's okay. Ahm, have you been in a relationship before?" Biglang tanong nito na nagpabaling ng tingin ko.

"Nope." Sagot ko at nakangiti itong tumingin sakin. "But I have a crush" dagdag kung sagot na nagpapawi ng ngiti niya.

Hahaha he's so cute. I saw him pouting in a serious mode.

When I was on earth. Jeff is my ultimate crush. My friends knew it but they don't push me to him which is good. Ginawa ko na lahat para mapansin niha pero walang epekto. And moved on from him and I tried to find another crush and yeah. I found him. His not from earth but his from the academy.

"Oh" sagot nito. Napatawa naman ako ng di na siya tumitingin sakin.

"Do you wanna know who's my crush?" Tanong ko habang nakangiti. Tumingin din ito sakin at umiwas ulit.

"No" tipid na sagot nito.

Napailing nalang ako. "I find him cute the first time I saw him. Palaging seryoso ang mukha. Parang galit palagi, but that made me fall for him even more." Nakangiting saad ko habang nakatingin sa kanya, but he didn't look at me.

Napangiti ako nang mapait nang may maalala. "But I think he's inlove with someone. Someone who's better than me" Dagdag ko. Umiwas na ako ng tingin ng akmang babaling siya sakin.

That someone is he truly deserve. Wala akong laban sa babaeng yun. His so desperate to meet her. I can see it in his eyes. The longingness.

Hindi na siya nagsalita matapos non. Tumayo na ako at tiningnan siya. "It's getting dark, I will go back now" Saad ko at nginitian siya ng mapait.

Di siya sumagot kaya tumalikod na ako pabalik sa palasyo.

I felt a pang in my chest thinking about what I said earlier. Tama naman na di niya ako deserve.

I maybe not a princess but I know the rules here. The prince shall only marry a princess. Marrying someone who's not a royal is against their law.

Fuck their laws!
