The Kingdom Of Gardiena

Chapter 5

Allison Ivory Perez

Who am I kidding, I can't go on a date with him! I don't even know him very well! "Ivory? Are you awake?" Kumatok siya sa pinto ko, kumuha ako ng book na kunwaring binabasa ko at nag madali akong humiga sa kama.

"Why aren't you ready? Are you alright?" Tumango ako, at pinakita ko sa kaniya yung hawak kong libro. "I'm just reading this book." Ngumiti siya at lumapit sakin.

"Well you better get ready, we don't want to miss our da—"

"I'm sorry for interrupting your majesty, but the King and Queen of Octavia is here." Napayuko si Seb.

He sighed. "Okay, court them to the ballroom. We'll be there." He said firmly.

"Looks like our date is cancelled. Get ready, we're going to meet them." Nalulungkot niyang saad, hinawakan niya kamay ko at hinalikan ito. Tumayo na siya at umalis ng kwarto.

Tumayo na din ako at nag bihis. Nag suot ako ng pink na gown, ano pa ba isusuot ko eh yun lang naman nandun. Bago ko matapos mag bihis naagaw ang atensyon ko sa isang magandang blue na gown.

Agad kong tinanggal yung susuotin ko at kinuha yun. At nag bihis nako. Nag suot ako ng tiara kagaya ng bilin sakin ni April.

Bumaba nako sa ballroom, at bumungad sakin ang isang couple. May maitim silang mga balat, pareho silang kulot ang buhok, at may mga suot na korona. Pareho silang mukhang mas matanda samin. 

"King Rilen, and Queen Viña, it's nice to see you again." Saad ni Seb bago siya makipag shake hands kay 'King Rilen'. "Hi Princess Ivory, it's been months since you last visited the kingdom." Saad ni King Rilen.

"Yes it has, I'm sorry if I couldn't visit. It's just been so busy here with the kingdom and the wedding." Nagulat ako sa sarili ko, bigla na lang yun lumabas sa bibig ko. 

"Oh, honey why don't you have some tea with Princess Ivory, while we discuss some things." Saad ni King Rilen, tumingin ako kay Queen Viña at ngumiti, ngumiti din siya pabalik.

"That would be great!" Sabi ni Queen Viña at lumapit sakin. "So, ano gusto mo gawin?" Tanong niya saken bago ako hilahin paalis, tumingin ako kay Seb at kumaway. Ngumiti naman siya at tumango.

"Uhmm, why don't you decide?" Saad ko at ngumiti sa kaniya. "I am kind off hungry." Ngumiti ako at hinila siya papunta sa kitchen.

"Let me make some cookies for you." Ngumiti ako bago mag lagay ng apron. "Chef, will you please give us space." Umalis na ang mga maids at ang chef namin. Kumuha ako ng itlog, harina, tubig, mantika at madami pang iba para sa pag gagawa ng cookies.

"Haha why are you so excited?" Tanong niya sakin, ngumiti ako. "Wala lang, I just wanted to really give you a warm welcome." To be honest, I myself don't even know what I'm doing.

I was just so excited, even though I don't know her. It's like, it's a feeling so familiar even though I just met her. A feeling of love from a friend.

"So how's your wedding?" Tanong niya sakin habang nag hahalo ako ng mga sangkap. "Hectic, I just choose a gown. It's like I'm excited but confused."
