We are heading to the music room. He pushed the large door and let us in. Various types of instruments are here. Each sibling has its own forte in terms of music. But Alexander knows how to play each of these instruments. "You're going to play?" I asked him. "I'm going to teach you how to play. What do you like?" Tanong niya sabay muwestra sa lahat ng instrumento na nasa aking harapan. I looked at all the instruments one by one and asked him. "What do you like the most?" Tanong ko pabalik sa kanya. "Hmm. Piano, I guess." Sagot niya. "Then, teach me how to play piano. I just know the basics of it from my school way back." "When you say basics, what do you mean by it?" He asked as he started pressing some keys. "Well, I can show you." Sagot ko sabay lapit sa kanya. I pressed some keys until it started making a melody of Stand by Me. "Not bad." Alexander commented. I only grinned at him. He then let me set on the chair and flip the music notes to find a piece we can try. We spent an hour in the music room. I don't know what's got into him but he looks serious the whole time. Until a house help came for him. "Sir Alexander, pinapatawag po kayo ng papa niyo." "Alright. Susunod ako, mauna ka na." Sagot ni Zander. Tumalima naman ang katulong. "You stay here, Hera." Bilin niya sa akin. "You better master that piece." He added. He's been teaching me to play some classical songs. And it's quite difficult. "Alright." I answered. He smiled and pinched both of my cheeks. "Alexander!" Alma ko sa ginawa niya. He only laughed at my reaction. "I gotta go. Babalik din ako kaagad." Saad niya. "Oo na. Stop being silly. It's as if you're going out somewhere far." I mumbled. He glared at me after hearing that and said, "Tss. You really don't care about me." he said, "Stop being dramatic, Zander." Sabi ko na natatawa sabay tulak sa kanya papalabas ng pintuan. Bago siya tuluyang umalis, hinatak niya ako papalapit sa kanya at niyakap. "Grew up fast, little pumpkin." "I'm taller than most of the girls my age, Zander." I said as a matter of fact. I heard him sigh and release me from his embrace. He then walked down the hallway. I stayed for almost two hours in the music room before I decided to leave. Zander hasn't come back yet but I'm already thirsty. As I walked through the dining room, I heard voices that weren't familiar. Bago ako tuluyang nakalapit sa dining ay tinawag ako ng aking Lola palapit sa kanya. "May mga bisita ang pamilya, Hera. Huwag ka munang pumunta doon." bigay alam niya. "Iinom lang po sana ako ng tubig Lola." "Sa kwarto mo muna ikaw uminom. Halika." sabay yakag ng aking Lola sa akin. "Who are the visitors, Lola?" Tanong ko habang papunta kami sa aking kwarto. "Malapit na kaibigan daw ng pamilya. Isang pamilya rin ata ang kanilang bisita ngayon." sabi ni Lola. "Nana, si Sofia ayaw lumabas ng kwarto. Sinumpong na naman." ang humahangos na sabi ng isang katulong. "O Sige, ako na ang bahala." Sagot ni Lola. "Pumunta ka muna sa dining Sara baka may iuutos pa don." "Sige po." sagot nito sabay Ali's papuntang dining room. "Pumasok ka muna sa kwarto mo, Hera at doon ka na uminom ng tubig. Pupuntahan ko pa ang batang may sumpong ngayon." "Okay po, La." Agad namang umalis si Lola upang puntahan si Sofia. And as for me, I went to my room to drink. As I looked at my wall clock, the time was past twelve and I didn't have my lunch yet. Hindi pa naman ako gutom at may pagkain din naman sa mini fridge ko. Hindi ko alam kung bakit hindi ako mapakali. I decided to go out of my room and outside the mansion. There I saw a luxurious car. "Helena!" Napalingon ako sa tumawag sa akin. It's Rico with ate Mela, his mother. "Hi Rico. Hi po, ate Mela." Bati ko sa kanila sabay baba sa may portico ng mansion. "May lakad ka?" Tanong ni Rico. "Wala naman." Sagot ko sa kanya. "Kumakain ka ba ng minatamis na saging at kamote?" Tanong niya. "Gumawa si mama at naparami ang ginawa niya." May saya sa boses niyang sabi. "Ah," "Gusto mong sumama sa amin Helena? Malapit lang din naman ang bahay na tinutuluyan namin." Nakangiting sabi ni ate Mela. Mabait naman siya at close sila ni Lola. Mag-iisang taon ko palang nakilala si Rico kasi kakalipat niya lang last year dito sa ranch. He grew up with his grandparents. Sinama na siya ni ate Mela dito sa ranch dahil isinama ng kapatid ni ate Mela sa Manila ang kanilang mga magulang upang doon na tumira. "Kung hindi po nakakaabala sa inyo." Sagot ko. Sa tagal ko dito sa ranch, hindi ko pa nasubukang pumunta sa bahay ng mga nagtatrabaho dito. Kilala ko naman halos lahat. "Naku, hindi." Sabi niya. We walked around five hundred meters, I think bago namin narating ang kanilang bahay. More than ten small houses greeted me. Lahat ng bahay ay gawa sa semi-concrete design.Related chapters

"Hi, Helena!" Bati ng mga familiar na mukha. I think they are all working in the vegetable plantation. They are wearing a buri hat and a farm working clothes. g "Hello, po." ganting bati ko. Pinatuloy ako ni ate Mela sa kanilang bahay at pinaupo sa pang-isahan na upuan. "Rico, ipamigay mo to sa mga kapitbahay natin." sabi ni ate Mela. May hinanda siyang mga lagayan na naglalaman ng niluto niya. Agad namang tumalima si Rico. "Tulungan na Kita." Presenta ko. "Huwag na, Helena. Maupo ka nalang diyan." "I insist, Rico. Wala rin naman akong gagawin dito." Sabi ko sabay tayo. Tumango siya at ibinigay sa akin ang ilan. "Hindi ka naman siguro hahanapin sa mansion?" Tanong ni Rico. "Hindi naman. Abala ang lahat sa mansion at nandito lang naman ako sa inyo. Parte pa rin ng ranch kaya okay lang." Sagot ko sa kanya. Tumango siya bilang sagot at lumabas na kami sa kanilang bahay upang mamigay ng pagkain sa kanilang kapitbahay. "Aling Martha, pinapabigay po ni mama." Bungad ni Ric

The Prince's CurseMorning came. I didn't see Alexander for the rest of the night yesterday. It's still seven in the morning, yet I get out of bed to do my morning routine. Pagkatapos kong maligo at makapagbihis, pumunta ako sa likuran ng mansion kung saan nandun ang kuwadra ng kabayo. Nakasanayan ko ng bisitahin ang mga alagang kabayo nina Alexander tuwing umaga."Magandang umaga po, manong Ben." bati ko sa tagapangalaga."Magandang umaga rin sayo Helena."I smiled at him in response and went to Thunder, Alexander's favorite stallion. "Good morning, Thunder!" bati ko sa kanya sabay hawak sa kanyang pisngi at hinimas ito. Ilang minuto lang ang inilagi ko sa kuwadra at bumalik na ako sa mansion.I went to the diner to eat my breakfast but I was surprised. The family and some faces I'm not familiar with are there having breakfast. I have a hint that they are the visitors my Lola was talking about yesterday.I was about to walk back silently when Alexander's mom saw me.“Hera, come her

Unceremonious kissLater that night, I stayed up late. I always think about the kiss we've shared. It's my first kiss and I didn't know it would feel this way. I can still feel the tingling sensation when he kissed me. I can't erase how his soft lips touch mine. The reason I woke up very late this morning.Paglabas ko mula sa aking kwarto ay nadatnan kong abala ang mga nagtatrabaho sa mansion."Ano pong meron?" Tanong ko sa dumaan."May mga bisita na darating si Sir Alexander ngayon." Sagot nito."Ah, okay, po. Ako na po ang magdadala nito. Sa'n ho ba to ibibigay?" Tanong ko sa kanya tungkol sa new set of table cloth na kanyang dala. Gusto kong tumulong sa kahit sa mga simpleng bagay."Sigurado ka?" Tanong niya. Tumango naman ako. "Salamat at may gagawin pa ako. Ibigay mo ito kay Mela para mapalitan ang tablecloths sa dining.""Sige po." Sabi ko sabay tanggap sa binigay niya. Dumiretso ako sa dining area at nakita Ang tatlong katulong doon. Agad ko namang ibinigay kay ate Mela ang aki

Seeing the FutureGaya ng napag-usapan, I stayed in my room reading a book. I still have a lot of books waiting to be read. Kakatapos ko lang basahin ang isang aklat ng may kumatok sa aking pintuan.Mukha ni Alexander ang bumungad sa akin pagkabukas ko. I looked at him with a question on my face.“We're going to the falls. Wanna come?” Tanong niya.“I thought I would read for the rest of the day.” Sagot ko.“Well, beautiful, I'm making the most of my stay here with you. If it's not too much, spend this summer with me, Hera.” Alexander in his serious face

The Summer is About to EndI stayed in my room for the rest of the night. It's not my thing to socialize with a lot of people, it makes me feel drained especially with those new faces. I'm fine with the people here in the mansion. But most of the time, I stayed here in my room reading. Back then and until now, I only got out when the girls wanted to play with me or Alexander wanted to hang out. At school, I am just quiet and seldom interact with my classmates. I could feel that they wanted to talk to me and incorporate me into their conversation but most of the time, I just kept on reading with my book to avoid any conversation with them. Hindi ko alam kung kailan nagsimula ang pagiging reserve ko. There's always this barrier that prevents me from getting close to other people. It will take a lot of time for me to get comfortable with them.

The Class Has StartedI was about to leave my room when Grandma knocked.“Good morning, Lola.” Bati ko sa kanya.“Good morning, Hera. Halika, may ibibigay ako” sabi niya sabay hila sa akin papunta sa aking higaan. “Kahapon ko lang kasi nakita to dahil nakalimutan ko kung saan ko nailagay.”“What is it, Lola?” Curious kong tanong sa kanya. She handed me a small notebook.

UnconsciousI stared blankly at him. He stared back and smirked. What? Anong problema ng isang to? I heard a chukled from him. I creased my forehead and eventually, I decided to just ignore him. Hindi mahirap sa aking gawin since hindi naman talaga ako masyadong nakikipag-usap sa aking mga kaklase o sa kahit sa aking katabi. Tahimik lang ako at pokus na nakikinig during discussions so I don't have time to looked at his side or what.I thought he was a snob but surprisingly, most of our classmates had already been friends with him in a short period. I wonder how he did that when he's a transferee and it's the first day of the class.Lunchtime and as usual, I stayed in the room and took my lunch box after most of my classmates went outside to eat. Niyaya ako nina Trixie na kumain sa cafeteria but I pol

Dmitri glanced at Alexander and raised his hands while grinning, Alexander was giving him a death glare. I rolled my eyes and held Alexander’s arm.“See you, Dmitri.” nakangiti kong paalam sa kanya dahil tinatawag na siya ng kanyang mga kasamahan. He smiled and nodded. A frowning Alexander faced me. I laughed and pinched his cheeks. So cute.“Stop being grumpy, love.” I tease him. I saw how his lips formed into a smile. He snaked his arm on my waist and pulled me for a seat. “Gosh, Alexander. We're having fun here. Bumalik ka nga doon sa mga kasama mo,” sabi ni Meg na ngayon ay umiinom na naman.“No,” maiksing sagot ni Alexander. He put his chin on my shoulder habang nakapulupot pa rin ang kanyang kamay sa aking bewang. “You're so clingy,” Meg commented. “I'll just get back to dance. Enjoy.” Alexander grinned at what Meg said. Meg rolled her eyes as she sashayed to the dance floor.“Were you having fun?” Tanong ni Zander. Tumango ako. I looked at the people who surrounded us. They

I cutely wave my hand at Alexander who is frowning now. It's Saturday and we are going to the Zenith Club. Pero hindi ako sasabay sa kanya. Meg and Elle insisted that I should go with them and I agreed. Magkikita na lang kami ni Zander mamaya. “Bye, bro.” Nang-aasar na paalam ni Elle. Alexander glared at her and never said a word instead he looked at me with puppy eyes. “Yuck! Stop that Alexander,” saway ni Meg. “Tss. You two are annoying. Come, my baby, I want a hug.” Alexander said as he opened his arms wide for an embrace. I chuckled, went to him, and hugged him. “I'll wait for you there,” he said. “Hmm. Susunod kami,” sagot ko sabay bitaw sa yakap niya. He kissed my forehead before he went inside his car and drove. “Finally! Alexander is so dramatic.” sabi ni Elle sabay hawak sa aking kamay. “Let's go and change!” Excited niyang sabi. Meg gave me a short black dress with a slit on its side. My back is bare but good thing it has a sleeve. I wore black knee-high boots. Elle did

Sinamahan ako ni Alexander sa pagpunta sa PRC upang mag-file ng aking application sa exam. Nasa loob ng mall ang kanilang opisina. I greeted the security personnel before I went inside the office together with Alexander. I waited for my name to be called after I submitted the form. Mahigpit tatlumpung minuto rin bago ako matapos sa pag-process nito. Nakaupo lang si Alexander at tahimik na hinintay ako. I can't help but glanced at him once a while. He looked so good even by just simply sitting on a waiting lounge. Nagulat ako ng may mga nakakakilala sa kanya. Others were even taking a photo with him and they're giggling. Even here in Metro, he's popular. “Wanna go see a movie?” Tanong ni Alexander ng makalabas na kami sa opisina ng PRC. We're walking side by side and heading to a escalator. “Hmm. I wanna go see a bookstore,” sagot ko. He looked at me and laughed. Kinuha niya ang aking kamay at ipinagdaop ang aming mga palad. “Alright, Your Highness.” Umirap ako sa kanya at hinil

Luckily, I had a good sleep even though it was my first time here. I got off in my bed when I saw in the wall clock that it was already seven in the morning. I went to the bathroom to take a quick shower. Hinayaan ko lang ang aking mga damit sa aking maleta dahil natulog na ako agad kagabi pagkatapos maglinis ng katawan kaya ngayon ay hinalungkat ko ito at kinuha ang mga reading materials at inilagay sa study table. Hindi ko na hinintay si Alexander na dumating kagabi dahil sa pagod. Hindi pa ako sanay sa mahahabang oras na biyahe kaya siguro nakatulog ako kaagad. Nagsuot ako ng white short sleeve dress at sneakers. Magpa-file ako ngayon ng application for board exam. Magta-taxi na lang siguro ako papunta doon dahil baka abala si Alexander ngayon. I ponytailed my hair after I blow dried it. I put on light makeup and a lip tint. Suot ko rin ang necklace na binigay ni Alexander sa akin. Dala ko sa aking bisig ang aking mga documents na nakalagay sa isang plastic envelope at lumaba

A week had passed. Nasa Metro na si Alexander at abala sa expansion ng kanilang negosyo. Ako naman ay abala sa paghahanda sa aking board exam. Si Dmitri at Rico pumunta na kahapon sa Metro para sa kanilang review. Si Trixie naman ay nagsimula na sa kanyang training sa kanilang plantation. Halos nasa kwarto lang ako buong araw. I take my review seriously. Goal ko ang maging isa sa topnotchers kaya puspusan ang aking pag-aaral at pagre-review. Alexander and I call each other every night to talk and to know our whereabouts every day. Nakikinig lang ako sa kanyang mga kwento kasi wala naman akong masyadong ganap dito sa mansion maliban sa pag-aaral. He's really busy and sometimes, I told him to take a rest already but he always wanted to talk to me before we went to sleep. Meg and Elle went back to the Metro a week after Alexander left. Meg will go to Paris to take a crash course in Fashion designing after her summer vacation while Elle will proceed for medical course. Si Sofia naman a

Nasa coffeeshop na kaming apat at naghihintay sa aming order. Pansin ko ang mga bahagyang pagsulyap sa mesa namin ng ibang customers. Dmitri got our orders when our number was called. “I am going to miss you guys,” sabi ni Trixie ng inilapag na ni Dmitri ang aming orders. “Nami-miss din kita Trix. Magiging abala na tayong lahat next week,” sabi ko. “Well, let's keep in touch,” Dimitri said. I nodded. “Pagkatapos ko sa board exam ay magta-trabaho agad ako dahil kailangan kong mag-ipon,” si Rico naman ngayon. “Ang dami mo na sigurong ipon, Rico,” komento ko. Ever since I got to know him, he's hardworking and knows how to manage his money so well. Hindi ko siya nakikitang bumili ng kahit anong bagay at pansin ko ang pagiging masinop niya sa pera. “Hindi rin. Ilang taon pa siguro ang aabutin ko para maging financially free,” sagot niya. “Basta bro, yung sinasabi ko sayo. Don't let your money sleep in the bank. Invest it on something good, better invest it on stocks," payo ni Dmitr

I was daze after the kiss we have shared. Hindi ko magawang tumingin sa mga kasamahan namin pagkatapos ng halik. Someone fake a coughed and laughed na sinundan naman ng iba para mawala ang katahimikan. I glanced at Alexander at parang wala lang sa kanya, nagawa pa niyang iyakap ang kanyang kamay sa aking bewang. I tried to get off his arm but it was like steel. It holds firmly on my waist. I looked at him but he just raised his eyebrow. Kaya kahit nahihiya man ay hinayaan ko na lang. “Are you ashamed of me?” mahinang tanong niya sa akin. Agad akong umiling dahil hindi naman iyon ang rason. “Next!” Sigaw ni Meg na kaagad namang sinunod ni Elle. “Kanina pa kita gustong halikan upang ipakita sa kanila na hindi ka na pwede pang ligawan Hera dahil may boyfriend ka na. And that's me,” Alexander in his menacing voice. I can feel the curious stares directing at me. We continued playing until one in the morning. Hanggang sa umuwi na ang mga bisita. No one dared to ask a question about us. B

Malapit ng mag alas onse pero gising na gising pa rin ang diwa ng mga tao at nagkakatuwaan pa kami nina Meg at Elle kasama ang iba nilang kaibigan na taga dito sa bayan. Sumali na rin si Rico sa amin dahil iilan lang din naman kaming magkaka-edad na dumalo sa pagtitipon. Alexander was busy talking with older men especially those who were inclined in the business world together with Tito Callixto. While the older women were talking happily, enjoying their wine. Naglalaro kami ngayon ng spin the bottle at pinalibutan namin ang bilugang mesa. Si Elle ay may hawak ng bote at siya rin mismo ang nagpaikot nito. We cheered when the bottle pointed at the girl named Rose. Dare ang kanyang pinili at naghiyawan ang iba dahil sa excitement. Elle gave her the dare. “Kiss the most handsome tonight.” Nakangising sabi ni Elle. Nanlaki naman ang mata ni Rose at bahagyang sumilip sa kinaroroonan ni Alexander. “H-he’s busy!” Sabi niya. Tumaas ang kilay ni Elle at lumingon sa paligid. “Sino ba yang

Hinampas ko sa braso si Alexander. Umungol siya na wari ay nasaktan. Aba’t ang OA naman ng isang to. Napakahina nga lang ng hampas ko. Tiningnan ko siya ng masama pero ngumiti lang siya. Ayan na naman ang nakakatunaw niyang ngiti. Minsan na nga lang ngumingiti, nakakatunaw pa. “Bakit mo sinabi sa kanila na girlfriend muna ako?” Mahina kong tanong sa kanya. He stopped and faced me. Kaya napahinto rin tuloy ako. Then, he wore a serious face. “I didn't know we should make it a secret this whole time, Hera. We've been in a relationship for five years, and I didn't say anything about us. Bago ako umalis ay girlfriend na kita. Did you forget about it?” Nakataas kilay niyang tanong. I pouted and shook my head. “Paano kung malaman ng parents mo?” Tanong ko. This time, his eyebrows furrowed. Na para bang nagtataka siya kung bakit ko tinanong yun. “Takot kang malaman nila?” Tanong niya. Tumango ako. Takot din ako para sa aking sarili, Alexander. Hindi ko pa rin maisip na ako ang narara
