"Oh, one of the Monteclaro will gave a speech." Rinig kong sabi ng EMCEE kaya naman bigla akong napatigil.
"Grabe! Bigatin talaga mga pumupunta rito. Monteclaro? Wow!" Rinig kong sabi ni Glenn na katabi ko pero yung utak ko lumilipad kaya hindi ko na ito binigyan ng pansin.
Kahit ang mga ka-table namin ay napasinghap sa narinig at naririnig ko rin ang kanilang mga bulong-bulungan dahil nga may Monteclaro sa mga bisita. eyes were wide.
I turn to meet Edward, standing at the door. He was angry and his hands made a fist. Lucian fell to his knees and started to beg for mercy. Edward then pulled me towards him and wrapped his arm around my waist. I felt safe with him, which was weird.
"You have no right to harass my fiancé like that, I shall have you beheaded!" Edward yells at Lucian. Edward's words were powerful and he knew what he was saying.
"She's your fiancé ?" Lucain says through tears, he was still looking at the ground.
"Yes, our ceremony was today and we're getting married tomorrow" Edward says, looking at me.
"Curse you" Lucian says under his breath. I looked over at Kate, she was in shock, I was going to tell her, but It was too late.
"Guards! Take this.... Fool, to the King" Edward says and steps aside for 2 guards to walk in. They picked Lucian up from the ground and carried him out of the room.
"Thank you, My Lord" I say with a smile. Edward then kissed me on the cheek and then look down at Kate. "I'll wait for you outside" he says, leaving the room and closing the door behind him.
I walk up to Kate and pulled her to the bed. She was still in tears. "I'm sorry, for everything" I say and kissed her forehead. Kate turns away from me and sighs, "We can't do this anymore, you're getting married tomorrow" she says.
I stayed quiet for a while and nodded my head. "I understand, I apologize" I say.
"You're getting married to a king! It's time for you to focus on yourself, I'm going to miss you, but I need you to be happy" Kate says with a weak smile.
I could tell that she was hurt and that made me feel even more ashamed.
Kate then leans closer to me and kisses me. Her lips were soft, just like I could remember. She then pulls away and smiles again.
"When we kissed, it was special. But you are getting married tomorrow, I want you to enjoy the wedding and teach me to become a pet afterwards" Kate says. I sighed when she said that, "I won't be able to teach you anymore, my mother will teach you" I say.
Kate went quite for a moment. I just knew that she didn't like that idea.
"It's alright, I understand. Now go, get ready for the wedding" She finally says.
I quickly leaned in and kissed her one last time, it was a a kiss goodbye. She then wrapped her arms around me and soon let go.
I then got up and walked towards the door, I turned to look at her one last time.
God she is beautiful.
I then open the door and left, "Your heart to be happy." He said the reason why my tears are building up in my eyes.
"Ninong, i felt like it was my fault that you experienced all of this. Pakiramdam ko ay pinarurusahan ako ng Diyos dahil inagaw ko si Uri sa kanya." Panimula ko dito. bote ng dried flowers kaya may pambili kami ng pagkain.
Pagkatapos namin kumain ng almusal ay agad na kaming naghanda sa paglabas. Tulad ng dati ay pinagsuot ako ng hooded robe ni Cynthia. Para raw walang makakita ng itsura ko. Why?
It turns out, silver hair is pretty rare in this world. Idagdag pa yung purple eyes ko na ang mga Yusian royalties lang ang meron nito. Kung bakit naman kasi hindi normal itsura ko. Yung color ng eyes ko, maintindihan ko pa dahil sa namana ko nga doon sa emperor pero itong buhok ko ang problema.
Sa tuwing lumalabas ako, wala akong makita ni isa na kakulay ng buhok ko. Sabi naman ni Cynthia, pareho kami ng nanay ko, silver ang buhok. Pero madalas daw kasi siya magsuot ng wig or kinukulayan niya yung buhok niya.
Tinanong ko naman si Cynthia kung alam ba niya kung bakit silver yung buhok namin or saan ba talaga galing, pero ningingitian lang naman niya ako. Feeling ko talaga may tinatago siya.
Anyway, kakadaldal ko nandito na kami sa may market. Napatingin ako sa paligid dahil sa napakaraming tao ngayon. Tsaka yung mga nadadaanan namin ay nagtsi-tsismisan pa sila. Ano kayang ganap?
"Astrid, stay here for a moment. I'll just go buy some bread, okay? Wait for me", ani ni Cynthia na siyang ikinatango ko.
Pumasok na sa loob ng bakery shop si Cynthia habang ako ay naghintay dito sa labas ng shop. Hindi na ako pumasok sa loob dahil nung la[st time na sumama ako ay aksidente kong naibaba yung hood ko. Dala yung basket na may dried meat at fish, umupo na muna
"Kung hindi siguro kami nagtagpo muli ay baka ganap na pari na sya. Ngayon ay ginulo ko ang isip nya. Ninong, hindi ko kayang may mangyaring masama sayo. Ayoko na pong mawalan ng mahal sa buhay" i said with moist eyes.
Naramdaman ko ang pagdiin nito sa kapit sa akin at sinabi.
"Nak, wag mong isipin na ang lahat ng nangyari sa atin or sa akin ay dahil pinarurusahan ka ng Diyos. Hindi sya ganoon sa taong kumikilala sa kanya. Dont think that way. "
"Kahit ano pa ang mangyari sa akin, good or bad? Hindi iyon dahil sa nagmahal ka, kundi iyon ang totoong nakalaan sa akin. Our fate is already written in the books. Kung nangyari ay nawala na ako sa mundong ito, iyon ay dahil hanggang doon nalang ako. "
"Always remember na ang buhay natin ay hiram lang. We should be grateful to all the years na ipinahiram ito sa atin. At kung panahon na para bawiin nya ito then let's accept our fate. Baka hanggang doon nalang talaga at natapos na ang misyon ko sa buhay."
"Dont be hard on yourself nak. Hindi mali ang umibig, at hindi mali ang magmahalan kayo. Kung ikaw ang pinili ni Uriel ay marahil ipinaramdam sa kanya ng Diyos na ikaw ang dapat piliin nya."
"Try to loosen up a bit. Wag kang mag-isip ng kung ano ano. And my advice to you? Pray to Him. Relax ka lang and go with the flow." Ninong Trevor said to me smiling.
"I dont know Ninong. Did I overreact?
