TGIWS: Phoenix Ryler Velasquez's POV (Completed)

Part 23

Sobra akong nakaramdam ng panghihinayang. Kung nilapitan ko lang sana siya e'di sana maaga ko na siyang kilala.

"Bakit ba gano'n ang mukha mo?" I asked.

"Ah, akala ko kasi pupunta n’on si Darius. Tapos hindi pala. Siya kasi dapat ang last dance ko pero hindi natuloy kasi nga hindi nagpakita ang kingina." Sabi ni Darlene. "Kaya ayon! Si Kier ang last dance ko!"

Darius was there. Pati kaya si Tita nandoon. They were there but they didn't approach her.

"Hindi mo talaga naalala ang magandang mukha ko?" She asked again.

"Hindi nga po." Sagot ko. "Nalaman ko lang na anak ka ni Tito noong pinahanap ko kay Finn ang identity mo, nalaman rin ng lahat."

But I am still curious about the meaning of Princess in her name. And Darius too, he has Prince on his name. I wonder if they have Royal blood? Because I saw a place where the Royal Family was living. Which is Spain. Madrid, Spain and the place was Balryna. When I was in Spain and London I was always hearing Balryna, so I did some research. I found out that it was the Palace.

So, if it's a Palace that means… may mga Princess at Queen rin 'di ba? Kasama kaya si Darlene at Darius doon? They have Prince and Princess on their names. I badly want to figure out that pero naka-lock ang identity system niya.

Tsaka, hindi ko lang inakala na sa kaniya pala 'yong bracelet. Iningatan ko pa 'yon, ah? Umaasa kasi akong baka magkita pa kami at mabuti nalang nangyari nga, we met each other once again.

Nilagay ko ang bracelet sa wrist niya. Then after that I gave her some food. Mukhang gutom na siya, e, pero wait… kakain niya lang pala kanina, ano?

"Kailan ba ako tumanggi sa grasya?" tanong niya nang i-alok ko ang crinkles.

"Noong niyaya kitang mag-pakasal," sagot ko. "Tinanggihan mo ako. Tinanggihan mo ang grasya."

"Para kang ewan! Alangan namang tanggapin ko? Edi nalagot ako kay Mama at Papa, isama mo na si Darius at Kuya!" She said. "Iyon ngang biro ko na ginatungan mo, nagalit sila, e."

"Their faces are so epic when I told them that you are pregnant! Especially, Drake and Darius. They really don't want me to be your boyfriend, huh?" I laughed after remembering that day.

I will really making sure na magiging akin si Darlene officially.

"Hay, sa GFS nga pala nag-aaral ang kapatid ko," she whispered.

Nilingon ko siya. I could see the disappointment on her face.

"Why is your face disappointed?"

"Nakakasawa na kasi ang mukha niya. Nakikita ko na nga siya sa bahay mag-hapon at araw-araw pati ba naman sa school makikita ko siya?"

Napailing ako, mahinang natatawa. It’s fine. Masaya naman kasama si Darius, he just needs to maintain his talkative mouth because honestly it’s really so annoying.

Tumingin ako sa kaniya at nakita kong hawak niya ang vape ko.

"Pa-try nga ako nito."

I stopped. Seryoso ba siya?

"You sure? Baka hindi ka marunong."

She nodded. "Oo. Marunong ako mag-lagay ng juice. Ano bang flavor ang gamit mo?"

"Grape." That's her favorite so that's my vape flavour.

She puts some juice on the cotton before covering it using the vape tank. She put the drip tip on her lips and starts to inahaled the vape. "Putangina..." sunod sunod ang buo niya. "Tangina, mamamatay pa yata ako." She held her chest.
