Chapter 29 - Royal Engagement Ball

Tonight would be the Royal Engagement Ball and I am preparing myself for it. Nagkakagulo sila Yuri sa damit na susuotin ko at ako naman iniisip ko kung ano pa bang kulang para mamaya. I haven't seen Henry since yesterday dahil madami din siyang inaasikaso tungkol sa work niya with the military army of England. 

And I admit it, these past few days Ian and I kept talking on the phone. Alam kong hindi tama na kausapin ko pa siya pero every time he calls hindi ko magawang sabihin sa kanya na wag na siyang tumawag. His voice is something that  makes my day complete. 

I made my decision and that is to marry Henry. Hindi yun magbabago pero a part of me just want to be with Ian but it's a mistake. I can't do that. Reputations would be tarnish not just the Royal Family's but ours too. 

I sat on the chair and stared at myself at the mirror. My hair was down and I wore one simple diamond necklace. My dress was designed by Dolce & Gabbana. It was a simple long white dress. Simplicity is royalty after all. 

Napatingin naman ako sa singsing ko, it was beautiful, it reeks elegance and sophistication. It's a diamond vintage after all. It must have cost a lot. It really speaks royalty. 

"Ready?" Emma asked nakatayo siya sa may likod ko. 

Tinignan ko siya sa through the mirror and half smiled "Come on." sabi ko at tumayo na ako and checked her outfit out, she wore a simple baby pink laced dress that cleary suits her skin. "You look good." I complimented "I'm sure guys down there won't be able to take their eyes off you." I teased her as we walked out of my room. 

"Oh please Elena, tignan mo kaya yung sarili mo ngayon." she said. 

"Still malay mo mahanap mo dito sa ball yung guy for you. Then if that I clearly should be the maid of honor." I said.

She laughed "Sa tingin mo magse-settle ako?" she asked. Alam kong hindi pero umaasa na pwede. Si Emma kasi hindi talaga siya naniniwala sa love, she's never been in love. Wala naman trauma to state kung bakit siya ganyan siguro the divorce of her parents. 

Bata palang kami nung umalis yung dad niya pabalik ng US and her mom, she drifted away. Laging wala. She grew up on her own. Walang guidance well except kay lolo. By that time I was still the granddaughter of the president at sympre lolo expected us three to be at our best behavior.

Pero still walang nagturo sa amin ng mga bagay bagay tungkol sa love. Anya's mother was always busy, mine was dead and Emma, she was somewhere doing her own thing, living her life with the money she had. Drinking and sleeping around. 

And pretty much Emma became like her. All those partying. High school palang kami Emma liked to party. I can't always come to those parties because I had restrictions as well as Yuri's. But Emma was always at a party. She had so many guys but never fell for someone. 

Hindi ako naniniwala sa love dati kasi hindi ko pa ito nararamdaman at I had no experience with guys, I wasn't allowed to date kaya ganun pero si Emma she had experience kaya siguro I thought na pwede siyang mainlove pero hindi. So I wasn't really a believer just like her.
