A Happy Ending (BOOK 2)

Second

"Princess. Princess, wake up."

Unti-unti kong minulat ang mga mata ko.

"You've been asleep for 3 hours now. It's already time for dinner."

Dagdag na sabi pa ni Daddy.

"Si .. si Zac?"

Tanong ko.

"Princess, you must just been dreaming."

So panaginip lang ang lahat ng yun? Hindi yun totoo?

"No. You're lying Dad. I saw him. He's here. He saved me."

Pagpipilit ko.

Daddy heaved a sigh.

"You must really miss him. But I'm sorry my princess, he's not really here. It's imposible for him to be here."

My tears started to fall.

It was only just a dream. A beautiful dream. A dream that is really impossible to happen.

I wiped my tears and smiled at Daddy.

"If only there's a thing I can do to ease the pain that you're feeling right now."

Sabi ni Daddy.

"I'm fine Daddy. I'm totally fine."

Sabi ko.

Hinug ako ni Daddy.

"By the way princess."

Sabi ni Daddy tsaka humiwalay sa yakap.

"Since you're close to the coronation, we've decided to get you a body guard."

Dagdag niya.

"Daddy. I don't need a body guard."

"Princess, it's a must. You need a body guard to protect you. We can't guarantee you safe."

I sigh in surrender.

Wala na akong magagawa pa. Ganito talaga ang buhay pag isang prinsesa. Malapit na kasi ang 19th birthday ko. At kung sa other stories, usually pag 18 years old yung coronation, iba dito. At yun nga, pag malapit na ang coronation, pwedeng may bigla-bigla nalang mag-assasinate sakin.

"It's for your own good my princess."

Sabi ni Daddy.

Kinaumagahan, pagkapunta ko sa may library room, may lalakeng nakaupo sa couch. Nakatalikod siya sakin.

Siguro siya na yung body guard ko.

"Good morning princess."

Sabi ni Daddy sakin.

Ngumiti naman ako.

Lumapit ako kay Daddy para bumeso sakanya.

"Hey princess, here is your body guard already."

Sabi ni Daddy at napatingin ako dun sa lalakeng nakaupo sa couch.

Biglang bumilis ang tibok ng puso ko.

Bumilis ang tibok ng puso ko dahil sa kaba. 

Mukha naman kasing bouncer sa isang bar tong body guard na kinuha nila sakin, paano naman ako hindi matatakot diba?

"Uhm Daddy, can we talk for a minute?"

Mahina kong bulong kay Daddy.

Natawa naman si Daddy.

"Why? Is there anything wrong?"

Sabi pa ni Daddy.

"Daddy, I don't want my body guard. He looks so scary!"

Mas natawa pa si Daddy sa sinabi ko.

"Then let me call for the alternative body guard I've chosen personally for you princess."

Ngumiti si Daddy.

Bigla siyang nagclap. Parang isang signal.

Bumukas naman yung pintuan.

Wow. Grand entrance ah.

Tas bumilis ulit ang tibok ng puso ko.

Hindi na dahil sa mukhang bouncer pa tong body guard ko kundi dahil ang gwapoooooo.

Naiiyak na ako.

"Panaginip na naman ba to?"

I asked myself.

"No princess, this is already real. you're not dreaming anymore."

Bulong naman ni Daddy sakin.

"Hi your higness."

Nagbow pa siya kay Daddy pati nadin sakin.

"Zac."

Pagsambit ko sa pangalan niya.

Ngumiti siya.

"Long time no see princess."
