-MIKHAELA GARCIA'S POINT OF VIEW-

7pm na and the whole guest room was slowly befilled with guests, but the guests weren’t normal this time, mas madami na rin ito compared to Uncle Richard’s birthday last year.
I almost felt sorry for Mikhaela to attend this birthday, this a BILLIONAIRE’S BIRTHDAY!
Ang mga guests ni Uncle Richard are famous people in the entire country!
I saw Zander Obrero who has the title of the RICHEST person in the Philippines, kasama naman nito ang girlfriend nya, si Shanelle Santa Cruzan!
Aira Jane Brilliantes who currently owns the title of BEING THE BEST MODEL this year 20**!
My Aunt, Ariannah Garcia who owns one of the BIGGEST medical companies in the phillipines,
Yassy Buenavista, The MOST FAMOUS artist at ang pinaka mayaman sa Dumaguete,
Wheng Li, ang chief executive ng PINAKA SIKAT na Chinese Product Destribution sa buong bansa.
Amanda Azuella, owner of the BIGGEST MUSEUM in the country,
Suezette Cunningham, a college-graduate na naging kandidato agad bilang kongregista.
Billie Hensler, ang sikat na pinsan ni Evelyn who is known to be the BEST SINGER IN ASIA.
The Gemsys Band na nangunguna sa pinaka may perpektong tono, isa sa pinaka sikat na banda sa buong bansa and a lot more guests!
Many of Alcantara’s Billionaire students were also invited, and the whole BLACK PRINCE gang is also here.
What kind of birthday is this? The hairs of my skin are spiking up- this is more like a PAGTITIPON NG MGA BILYONARYO!
“You left me, last night.” Iritadong saad ni James saakin.
Not to mention my misfortunate time, bakit nga ba nasa iisang couch kami nakaupo?! And why are we even here in the first place?!
“Oo, pero nangyari na iyon, so forget it.” Sabi ko rin sakanya.
“First of all, when my Tita Savannah was giving birth to a child, I was there, and I was 9, and I thought like, ‘WHY THE HELL DID THE BABY CAME OUT OF HER *****?!’ That baby, was Reese! Who else could It be?!” natatawang saad ni Billie Hensler.
We’re all in the guest room, at napaka-raming tao, but Billie Hensler was the loudest one in the entire hall at Napakarami ring tao ang nag-iipon sa gawi nya, and her topic was really personal.
“Ate Billie, you should stop! That’s really gross!” Sigaw ni Evelyn kay Billie Hensler.
“But Reese, that was the sauciest part of my life!” Billie shouted back at her at tumawa ng malakas.
“Whatever! But don’t include me anymore!”
Lumayas si Evelyn sa gawi nya and she was holding a blonde little girl na kumakain ng lollipop.
Lumapit naman si Evelyn saamin dala-dala ang bata.
“Woah woah, who’s the father of that child?” Tanong ni Joshua kay Evelyn.
“What do you mean?” ani Evelyn.
“Evelyn, wala kang sinabi saamin na marunong ka na palang gumawa ng bata!” Abby hissed at Evelyn.
“Shut up. This isn’t my child! It’s my cousin, damn you assholes!” Inis na sabi ni Evelyn.
“How many cousins do you have?” tanong ko sakanya.
“That’s a good question, Mika. I guess I have… hm…. Uh…. Wait….hold on, I have no idea. They just suddenly show up to me and my daddy says they’re my cousins.” Sagot ni Evelyn.
Huh, I wonder.
“Now. Who’s this little cutie?” Cj said and pinched the little girl on the cheeks.
“Mwy nwame is Cathwin Salwadow.” Sabi ng maliit na babae and suddenly- the lollipop in her mouth dropped. Why the hell is this kid so cute?
“Oh my!” Evelyn took out another candy bago pa man sumigaw ng iyak ang bata, she opened the lollipop’s wrapper at isinubo agad ito sa bibig ng bata.
“What did your cousin say?” Tanong ni Cj kay Evelyn.
“Her name is Catherine Salvador, her mom’s my daddy’s younger sis. Cathy’s only five.” Evelyn said.
“She’s cute.” Komento ni Ivan.
“Right?” komento ko rin.
“But… Her face looks like Evelyn.” Ani Josh.
“What do you mean? We’re not siblings.” Ani Evelyn.
“I don’t know. It just felt like it, you know, there’s always something behind a cute face?” Sabi pa ni Joshua.
“Stop saying weird things, Josh. You’re creepy.” Komento ni Cj sa sinabi ni Joshua.
“I don’t know what you mean, but Cathy, well- we do look alike because we’re both blondes!”
“That’s not what I definitely meant.” Ani Agad ni Josh.
Catherine got off from Evelyn’s grip at Nagulat naman ako when she suddenly hugged me.
“Queen Ellisha!” Sigaw ni Catherine and she smacked her face on my stomach!
Who the hell is Queen Ellisha!?
“Cathy, no!” Ani Evelyn at hihilain na sana si Catherine palayo saakin, but I stopped her.
“Ayos lang, Evelyn.”
“Woah woah, who’s Ellisha?” Josh asked.
“It’s her favorite series character, a Queen- the main character who usually wears black party dresses, and her hair color is also brown, like Mika’s. Cathy must’ve thought that Mika is the Queen Ellisha” Saad ni Evelyn at napasapak sa sarili nitong noo.
“That’s a good thing, right?” Ani Cj.
“I don’t know, she clings to her favorites too much.” Saad ni Evelyn.
“Hindi naman iyon problema, Evelyn. Cathy is cute.” Saad ko.
“Queen Ellisha! Please show me your golden sword!” sabi pa ni Catherine, the kid wasn’t even planning to remove her arms on my waist. She was really hugging me tight!
“Sorry, Cathy, there’s a problem… I left my golden sword in my castle.” Sabi ko sa bata.
“What?! B-but, I thought you never leave your sword behind? What if there’s an enemy? Or what if Doctor Steve shows up again?!”
“It’s alright, I can fight without swords! Uhm, my fist! I can punch that Doctor- doctor svayne and- and throw dishes at him or- candies and gummy bears…” Ano ba itong mga pinagsasabi ko?
I heard James mocked at me at tumalikod pa ang loko mula saakin! Tsk!
“No, it’s doctor steve! You always get his name wrong, Queen Ellisha!” tawa ng bata.
There was an announcement from the host at bigla namang nataranta si Evelyn.
“Uhm- guys! Guys! Please look after Cathy for me, take her to the playroom- I have a job to do!” Sigaw ni Evelyn at kinarga ang pink nito na gown and ran away.
“Hoy! Where the hell is the playroom!?” sigaw ni Abby sakanya, but Evelyn was already too spaced out para marinig pa ang sigaw ni Abby.
“Cathy, do you know where your playroom is?” Tanong ko sa bata and I patted her head.
“Yes! It’s in the second floor.” Sagot ng bata.
“Good, then let’s go there- before the enemies shows up!” Sabi ko at kinarga ito.
“Wait! Isn’t King Cleus coming?” 
“King Cleus?”
“Yes, the one who always teases you!” Sabi nya at biglang tinuro ang nakatalikod na loko.
So, James looked like this King Cleus character? Anong klaseng coincidence misfortunate ba ang dapat kong harapin kapag kasama si James?
“Oh, right! I must have forgotten his stupidity because I hated his teases, heheh.” Saad ko.
Damn that King Cleus for being a teaser.
“Oh no. Mikhaela. Should I back you up?” Biglang saad ni Shane. Umiling naman ako.
“Don’t be a ridicule, Shane. Isn’t Queen Ellisha and King Cleus good together? They’re partners!” Sabi ni Abby at hinampas si Shane sa likuran.
Subukan nya lang gawin ‘yang tumatakbo sa utak nya, that Abbigail is dead to me.
“No, Queen Ellisha and King Cleus are not partners! They’re husband and wife!” Sabi ni Cathy and I heard a cracking noise, kinagat na pala nito ang lollipop.
Fudge ha. Husband and Wife pala!
“It’s the same thing Catherine, husband and wife are also called partners because they-”
“You should shut your damn mouth, moron. You’re talking to a kid.” Abby cut Josh’s line off at hinila ang taynga nito.
“You’re funny, Miss Ariel.” Tawa ng bata.
Miss Ariel? Oh god, ang layo lang ata ni Abbigail sa little mermaid.
James took Cathy from me at sya mismo ang kumarga sa bata.
“We should head off, now.” Sabi ni James sa bata.
“Yes! Your Highness! Queen Ellisha, let’s go!” Catherine shouted as James walked to the stairs, sumunod naman ako sakanila at binigyan lang ng kibit-balikat sina Abby at Shane.
-//Queen and King//-
“Aside from King Cleus teasing me, what else does he do?” Tanong ko kay Catherine.
“Hmmmmm… He cooks, he kisses and he hugs you and save you every time you’re in trouble, remember?” Sagot ng bata.
That’s a damn bullshit.
“Ellisha does forget things, right Catherine?” Sabi ni James sa bata. Sinamaan ko agad sya ng tingin.
“Yeahh she does, sometimes, but she said she swore she would never forget the day you had your first kiss with her.” Saad ng bata.
This kid is something! Bakit alam nya na ang mga bagay na iyan?!
“I know, and she wouldn’t. Mikhaela wouldn’t.” saad ni James at may ibinulong pa.
May nalalaman pa itong pa-bulong-bulong, eh narinig ko naman e!
“That’s so romantic, your highness.” Catherine giggled at kumuha ng isang baby doll.
Nagtataka na ako. Maybe Josh is right, maybe this kid really is something!
“Indeed it is.”
“Shouldn’t you be at your Uncle Richard’s birthday, Cathy? You should see him blow the candle,” Sabi ko sa bata.
“No, my mom says I cant stay in the party hall. Besides, I’m way too young to discover romance.” Pout na saad ng bata. Nakunot naman ang noo ko.
“What do you mean?”
“Big sister Evelyn says it’s a Love Birthday party, which means there are kissing and dancing and romance conversation everywhere, I’m too young to know those.” Ani Cathy, she was preparing the doll’s outfit and table set.
Ano kaya ang itinuro ni Evelyn sa batang ‘to? I cant believe she infiltrated this kid’s brain!
“But you did watch Queen Ellisha and King Cleus kiss?” saad ni James. Cathy dropped the doll at Nagulat ito sa sinabi ni James.
“No I didn’t! I covered my eyes just like mommy said!”
Patago ko naman na kinusi ang kanang bahagi ni James.
Sinamaan naman ako nito ng tingin.
“Well! Now that we’re in our hideout, what shall we do next?” saad ko.
“Well, I haven’t watched the part where Queen Ellisha and King Cleus danced in the party, can you dance right now, your royal highnesses?”
Napatingin naman ako kay James.
DANCE? AGAIN!? With this damn devil?! Ayoko na! please!
“You are not allowed to watch the Dances, right?” sabi ni James sa bata.
“N-no, I’m not! Dancing isn’t bad, there aren’t no kissing!”
“But the prince kissed Cinderella after they danced.” Sabi pa ni James!
He’s such a devil!
“W-well.”
“There’s no excuses, Cathy. I’m sorry. Should we do something else?” I tried putting a smile on my face so I wouldn’t sound like a mother myself.
“Yes. Cathy should sleep, so the King and Queen could do their thing.” Saad ni James at tumayo.
What the hell is THEIR THING?!
“Wait, what thing?” The kid curiously asked.
“Since it’s night time, well, the King and Queen should kiss before they sleep.” Ani James.
Pinigilan ko namang ikumo ang kanang kamay ko.
“Y-yes, of course…” Cathy yawned at nilukos nito ang mga mata.
It’s quite realistic if she’s acting.
Cathy jumped in to the royal bed na maliit and she covered herself in blanket.
Sinuntok ko naman agad ang braso ni James.
“Tch. Queen Ellisha doesn’t punch King Cleus.” Iritadong sabi ni James.
“You’re not King Cleus, Devil!” I whispered.
“In Catherine’s eyes, we are. We should do what I told her.” Ani James.
“Hindi natin gagawin ang sinabi mo sakanya, Pervert! Rather, we should be in the party!” I hissed.
“To get away from me?”
“Ano ba kasi? It’s unpleasant to be with a devil.” I whispered.
“Did the kiss last night really turned you like this?” Anito.
Bwiset! Pinaalala pa ng mokong!
“H-hindi no! I-it was just a kiss.”
“Then let’s do it again, if, IT’S JUST a kiss.”
“What are you planning, James? Kissing is an act of romance. Kung hahalikan mo ako, it should symbolize your romance for me, at unang una sa lahat, I’m not a kissing tool.” Madiin kong sabi sakanya.
Baka igagaya nya lang ako kay Riass, I’m not a dump bag, nakakabwiset sya.
Atsaka, anong klaseng litanya ba yung sinabi ko kay James? SYMBOLIZE HIS ROMANCE FOR ME? Eh ang tanong, may pake ba sya sa bagay na yun?!
“There isn’t any romance, Witch. I’ll kiss you whenever I’ll want to.” Malamig nitong saad.
!?!?
//-PARIS, THE CITY OF LOVE-//
“Mika? Where’s Cathy?” Tanong agad ni Evelyn the moment she saw me.
“She’s a sleep in the Royal Mattress on the playroom,” sagot ko.
“Phewh, that’s a good thing. Thanks a lot.” Saad ni Evelyn with a huge sigh of Thanks.
Nasa Hall kami ngayon at kakatapos lang ng speech ng daddy ni Evelyn. When the Cakes where sliced, pumila agad ako para kumuha. Evelyn was right, the design of the cake really does look realistic, but I never knew it was 5-feet tall cake! And anyway, the taste wasn’t so bad, it’s just right. It’s a Vanilla Cake with Swiss Meringue Buttercream filling, at Oo, I can tell the ingredients just by tasting it.
“Excuse me, Mr.Brilliantes. Can I take a picture with you?”
May isa namang babae na lumapit sa gawi namin ni James, just with a glimpse, I immediately hated her. That Black, Silky straight hair, pink lipstick, long lashes at mapuputi at makikinis nitong balat, tall heels and her left thigh was showing dahil sa style ng dress nito, ugh, and those boobs- nakakaselos.
James was drinking a wine at nakatitig ito sa kisame, it took a while at parang wala lang sakanya ang babaeng lumapit, so I stepped on his shoe gamit ang takong ng heels na suot ko.
“What was that for?!” Inis na sabi ni James saakin.
“May magpapa-picture daw! Bingi ka kasi!” Singhal ko sa demonyo.
“Tch. Who are you?” Bumaling si James sa babae.
“I-I’m Elaiza Padowski, if you don’t mind, can we take a picture together? It’s a real golden moment, I mean- you’re Jane Brilliantes’s son in real life…” Sabi ng babae at may nalalaman pa itong pagpapa-kyut.
“You’re the Elaiza Padowski, daughter of Noir Cmeh Padowski?” Tanong ni James dito,
Teka, Noir Cmeh? Isn’t that a name from one of GG’s weapon suppliers?
“Y-yes.. How did you know my dad?”
“Just some Business Connections. Tell me, Miss Elaiza. Did Mr. Hensler invited you here?”
“Oh! No, his daughter invited me. I was thinking of declining the invitation, but I thought this party might not be that bad, and- I haven’t regretted a single thing. There are lots of famous people here and I’m slightly surprised!” Saad ng babae and she was giggling while stepping a little more close to James.
Tsk. Feeling close ‘tong babae na ‘to.
James borrowed her phone at sya na mismo ang kumuha ng litrato nilang dalawa, their background was the paris cake. Nagpaalam naman din agad ang babae pagkatapos ng shooting nila.
“He calls himself Noir the Weaponoire.” Mahinang saad ni James.
“Noir Cmeh?”
James smirked at pinaikot ang laman ng wine nito.
“Something is not right in this event.” Aniya pa.
“Alam ko. I already knew It from the very beginning.” Sabi ko rito.
“Mhm. The old man’s something.” Saad pa ni James.
“Kurt, anong ginagawa mo rito?” Lumapit si Cj sa gawi namin.
“What else, Collin? I’m spending my time with Mikhaela.” Sagot ni James sakanya. Sinamaan ko naman agad sya ng tingin.
Spending his time with me? What is he thinking?
“I see, team leader meeting?”
“No.”
“Ha? Eh ano ano naman ang pinag-uusapan nyong dalawa?” takang tanong ni Cj sakanya.
“You shouldn’t be asking that kind of question, Collin. It’s private.”
“Alright, I think I get it. Just try to keep up, Mikhaela, in fact it’s a BIRTHDAY OUT OF LOVE.”
