Ann's POV
SH*T. What should I do. I decide to do one thing and I will lose ten!
Paninindigan ko ba ang ka-malditahan ko o baka naman mag-papaka-inosente ako?
Think! Think!
Pero nahinto ako sa pag-iisip ng mag-salita ang head butler.
"Irisia, you have not introduced the Grand Duke as her father?"
Anong problema ng butler na yan? Of course sinabi ni Irisia kung sino ang tatay ko. I just don't pay attention to it.
"O-of course. I always open up that the Grand Duke is her father. She must've reacted like because of the shock. She has not seen the Grand Duke." depensa naman ni Irisia.
Ahhh! Bahala na si batman.
"What father? I don't have one."
Good bye life. Hello hell.
"Princess!" sabay na sigaw ni Irisia at Sammy.
Tsaka ko inilagay sa ;amesa ang mug na hawak ko. Tiningnan ko ang Grand Duke. Shuta. Ang gwapo nya beh. Bakit? Akala ko pangit siya.
Nakita ko ang pagtitig niya sa akin. His green eyes that were similar to mine, gave off the energy of worry and sadness. Yun bang parang walang nagyaring maganda sa buhay niya, puro pangit lang.
The staring contest continued. I will not back down.
Nagtagal pa iyon ng ilang mga minuto bago naputol iyon dahil sa pagtikhim ng isang lalaki sa likod ng Grand Duke.
"Ehem. Why did she do that?"
He had blonde hair like the Grand Duke but he has brown eyes. I believe he is one of the Grand Duke's son.
Irisia fidgeted then answers, "The Princess thinks that she has no father.'
"And why is that?" the head butler asked.
"I don't know either. Maybe because she has not seen the duke frequently."
"Huuh." the Grand duke sighed.
Okay, paninindigan ko 'to. Bahala na talaga si batman.
"Sammy, the other book." senyas ko kay Sammy.
Nanginginig ang mga kamay niya ng ilahad niya sa akin ang libro.
'Basics of Mana'
Basa ko sa tittle ng libro. Nagsimula na akong magbasa. Naramdaman ko naman ang paglakad papunta sa akin ng Grand Duke.
Okay. Ito ang plano. Kapag lalapit siya sa akin at sasabihin niya na siya ang tatay ko, aarte ako ng galit tapos iiyak at boom! Magiging close kami. A feasible plan, yeah?
"Do you want you want to know your name?" sabi niya.
Nakaluhod ang isang tuhod niya sa lapag habang nasa gilid ko siya.
Good. Ngayon, aarte lang tayo.
"I have a name. My name is Ann." sabi ko ng hindi inaalis sa libro ang tingin ko.
"No, what I mean is your real name. Do you want to know?" he chuckled.
What the.
"Okay then, what is it?"
Isinara ko ang libro at tiningnan siya.
He smiled before answering. "Siessylt Andreane Georgianne Griffiths. How's that?"
Nang marinig ko ang sinabing pangalan nya, nabulunan ako ng wala sa oras. Pati na din ang mga tao sa paligid namin. Anong klaseng pangalan iyan?!
Does he expect me to like that name?
