" Did your mother not tell you it was rude to point your pistol at a lady?" Her soft voice gently passed through the tense air. Her hat obscured the four musketeers view of her face. Her right leg was crossed over her left as she slouched in the old wooden seat. Her pistol was set on the table as she picked up her mug of ale and drank a gulp from it. " Did yours never tell you it was rude to try and kill a man?" One of the musketeers said. " Save, Save, I saved your life from them. If I wanted to kill you." She said putting the mug onto the table, "You'd already be bleeding on the floor." " Is that right?" Another one said. " Yes." She replied "And just who are you? Madam." The tallest one asked. The Lady stood up from her seat and turned to face the men. Her face was still covered by her hat as she then dipped into a theatrical bow with one arm out and another tucked over her belly. " Lady Renee De La Fontaine. At your service" She spoke before standing up straight, her hat now lifted from her face. _____________________________ Lady Renee De La Fontaine lost her home and family when the Spanish attacked many years ago.

" You would refuse something that you cannot afford and was graciously bought for you?" The man asked clearly annoyed at her refusal of his kindness. " I may not have money to afford such delicacies but I am not a charity case, nor will I accept things from such a brutal man." She spoke to him with assertiveness in her words. The man chuckled with annoyance at the woman before him. " I see, well I apologise for any offence in which I have given you. But I do not believe you are in a position to refuse such a gift." He said gaining in anger as he watch the woman stand her ground against him. He dismissed the comment about him being brutal as he continued to stare at the woman in front of him. " I excuse you, sir. But you have no idea on my position in life. Now, as I said. I thank you for the thought but I cannot accept." --- Grace lived a hard life, having to look after her ill mother and work to continued to put food in their bellies.

"Dahil para sa akin, hindi totoo si The One. Hindi totoo na kailangan mo maghintay forever and ever for eternity, amen. Kailangan mo lang mag-choose wisely. At panindigan mo na pagkatapos..." Normal lang ang lahat para kay Pritz. Normal lang sa kanya na halos lahat ng oras niya ay nasa loob lang siya ng bahay at nag-co-code. Mag-isa. At his age, he's already wealthy enough to afford getting his Mother a house plus living on his own. At 25, he had gone bored of everything and he found sleeping very hard. Kaya naisipan niyang magtrabaho sa 7-eleven na minamano ng Tita niya. Everything was okay. Everything was normal. Until, she came. It started at three in the morning. When he looked up and saw The One, even if in reality, she looked like a husk of someone who was once cheerful, once bright, once shining. But still, she seems to be the most beautiful woman he had ever seen. At mukhang unti-unti siyang nagkaka-crush sa dalaga. Nang napansin naman nito ay walang habas lang siyang ni-reject nito. Pero dahil naniniwala siya sa konsepto ng The One at wala namang ibang exciting na nagaganap sa buhay niya, he pursued her even if she warned him so many times that he would definitely regret it. And maybe, he will. Maybe. --- posted: march 29, 2020 end of posting: august 15, 2020
