HEALER (Completed)

Chapter 41

CHANTRIA IS STARING AT HER REFLECTION in the mirror while she's wearing a white long sleeve ball gown. Sampung minuto nalang kasi ang kaniyang hihintayin bago tuluyang magsimula ang Enchanted Ball. And she couldn't hide her smile because of the excitement that she feels.

Speaking of her worn gown, it's not her choice actually. Si Travis mismo ang pumili nito sa kaniya dahil hindi naman nito gusto ang talagang napili niya. Meron na siyang unang gown which is a white long gown but Travis doesn't like it because it's quite revealing. Bukod kasi sa kita ang kaniyang cleavage, may pa slit pa ito. And that was a big no for him.

And that's why her she is. Wearing a white long sleeve ball gown which looks classy and dramatic. Tingin nga niya ay wedding gown ito at hindi pang ball. Nevermind. This looks great to her though. It maybe look old-fashioned to others because of its conservative styling but for her it's not.

Matapos pumasa sa kaniya ang kaniyang suot at itsura ay nagsimula na din siyang magsuot ng kaniyang mga alahas na babagay sa kaniyang suot. All this jewelries were also bought by Travis himself. That's how spoiled she is to him. Pero hindi siya naman umabot sa puntong inaabaso niya ito.

Napangiti naman siya ng maramdaman niya ang dalawang pamilyar na presensiya na kadarating lang sa inuukupa niyang silid. It's her mom and dad, the King and Queen of Fire Kingdom. Hindi niya ito madalas na nakakasama pero mahal na mahal niya ito.

"Napakaganda naman ng anak ko," her Dad complemented when he finally went closer to her. Nakasunod din dito ang kaniyang Ina na tulad nito ay masayang-masaya na makita siya. "Dalagang-dalaga kana. Pwede ka ng mag-asawa!"

Narinig niya naman itong umaray dahil sa binatukan ito ng malakas ng kaniyang Ina. She just awkwardly smile even she's already used to it.

"Pinagsasabi mo diyan? She's still young to get wed."

Her dad pouted. "But I want a grandchild."

"No! Bakit ikaw ba magbubuntis?"

"Hindi."

"Palibhasa kayong mga lalaki pasok lang kayo ng pasok." Maging siya ay nagulat sa sinabi ng kaniyang Ina. Pinamulahan siya ng pisngi dahil rito.  "Hindi mo alam kung gaano kahirap magbuntis kaya manahimik ka diyan."

"But Hon-"

"Kapag pinagpilitan mo pa iyan, matulog ka sa sahig mamaya."

Nagreklamo ang kaniyang ama pero hindi ito pinansin ng kaniyang Ina. Linapitan siya ng kaniyang Ina at pagkuwan ay may binigay ito sa kaniya.

"Wear this," anito habang nakalahad sa kaniya ang isang mamahaling korona na may batong garnet na makikita rito. This 3 stones symbolized the 3F's of their Kingdom which stands for family, faith and freedom. The core values of their Kingdom.

Tiningnan niya ito ng may pag-aalinlangan. Nagaalinlangan pa rin siya na tanggapin ito dahil alam siya kung para saan ito. She just feel that it's now the time to reveal herself in the public and she suddenly felt nervous about it.

Lumapit na rin sa kaniya ang kaniyang Ama at hinawakan ang kaniyang kamay.

"Accept it princess. It's time to introduce who you really are to the public."

Her mom smile before she speak, "Your dad is right. Tulad niya ay excited na rin akong ipakilala ka sa lahat."

Nang makita niya ang mga itong masaya ay pumayag na rin siya. She let her mom put the crown on her and then they both look at her reflection on the mirror.

"Perfect."

"Beautiful."

Her mom and dad complimented at once. After a couple of minutes, her escort came. And she runs out of words to describe him.
