CELESTE POV

The moment I opened my eyes I knew something felt weird, I stood up in my bed and went to open the window. I smiled when I saw the sun rays.

This feeling is so nostalgic, para akong bumalik sa pagkabata ko but I'm not so sure, I felt like something is missing.

I looked at the door when it suddenly opened and let out the maid who had been taking care of me before.

"Delfin, How's the preparation going?" Tanong ko.

"Everything is prepared according to plan." Nakangiting sabi nito.

Inilapag nito ang dala niyang pagkain tsaka lumabas pero bago pa man niya maisara ang pinto ay tinawag ko siya.

"Delfin, I have something to ask you." Ani ko.

"Sure." Sagot nito.

"Saan ba ako galing kahapon? I can't remember anything kasi." Tanong ko.

Ngumiti ito bago sumagot. "Don't you remember? Your body was so hot yesterday, you suddenly lost consciousness." Ani niya.

"Is that it? I think there's something more." Sabi ko. Ipinagtataka ko talaga kung ano ang mga ginawa ko kahapon dahil ni isa ay wala akong maalala.

"Madamoiselle, don't think too much. This is your big day and forget about yesterday its already in the past." Ani ni Delfin. Tumango tango na lamang ako dahil baka makulitan pa siya sakin.

"Stay here, I'll bring your dress." Ani niya na tinanguan ko naman. Lumabas siya ng kuwarto ko at ako naman ay nag tungo sa rooftop ng kuwarto ko.

Yes my room have a rooftop, weird isn't? This is where I usually spend my time alone. Having a nice cup of tea or coffee while watching the sunset.

"Very nostalgic... I think I've done this before with someone else."

Bigla kong narinig ang pag bukas ng pinto ko kaya naman kaagad akong bumaba.

"Here's your dress, shoes, make up and hair pins. You'll be using this for today just like what your mother told me." Ani niya.

"No problem Delfin, Thank you." Sabi ko at nginitian siya.

"Go on, take a bath. I'll be waiting for you outside. Tell me when you're ready madamoiselle." Ani ni Delfin.

I immediately went to my personal bathroom to take a bath.

THE dress is nice, my make up is done and I'm ready to rock this event!

"Delfin! I'm ready!" Sigaw ko mula sa loob ng kuwarto ko.

Pagkalabas ko ay nag hihintay ma saakin si Delfin at ang dalawa pang servant.

"Where are we going? Did mom tell you?" Tanong ko.

"She told me that its a surprise." Ani niya.

Napabuntong hininga na lamang ako at hindi na umimik pa. Why do I feel like something is strange? Or am I just overthinking everything.

"Get in the car madamoiselle." Ani ng driver.

Delfin handed my coat before I went inside the car. "Thanks." Sabi ko. "Aren't you coming?" Tanong ko pa.

"I'll be on a different car milady." Ani ni Delfin at nginitian siya nito.

"Okay, see you there." Sabi ko at isinara na ang pinto ng kotse.

This feeling is kinda new to me, but why? Is it because I am locked in our home for a long time?

But most importantly is that I can see everyone's faces now after what I've heard about my mom and dad. Our family is known for having a prosopagnosia...

I'm glad because I'm already healed and whoever healed me, I must pay that person a good deed as my gratitudes.

"MADAMOISELLE, We are here." Ani ng driver.

Kaagad akong tumingin sa bintana at syempre namangha ako dahil maraming tao at maganda ang tanawin.

It's a famous hotel in our town! Though I still prefer forest rather than buildings. I don't know why but I kept on dreaming about myself living and wandering around the forest.

Hindi ko namalayan na nasa harapan ko na pala si mom at dad. Nginitian ko sila at niyakap, I'm longing for this kind of embrace...

"You look beautiful honey." Ani ni mom.

"You too mom." Sabi ko at nginitian siya.

"Are you ready, Celeste?" Tanong saakin ni dad.

"Yes dad, I'm ready!" Sabi ko.

We went inside the hotel together and a lot of people are in there. I'm glad I can see their beautiful and handsome faces.

"What's the event all about?" Tanong ko.

"You'll find out dear." Sabi ni dad kaya naman tumango tango na lang ako.

Kumakaway kaway naman ako pabalik sa mga taong kinakawayan ako, gusto nga nila akong kamayan but mom and dad wont let me.

Mom and dad invited me to stand with them in the stage so I did. This is kinda nervous. I really have no idea whats going on and some of the guests faces are shocked.

"Its nice to see you here friends and especially to my Lazaro family." Mom said while holding a microphone.

"This day is a very special day especially to my one and only daughter and the heiress of the Lazaro clan... May I introduce you Celeste Lazaro."

Bigla akong kinabahan ng tawagin nila akong Celeste Lazaro... I don't know it feels so strange.

Bigla namang umalingaw ngaw ang nakakabinging tunog dahil sa nahulog kong mic. I immediately pick it up from the floor.

"Are you okay sweetheart?" Tanong saakin ni dad habang hawak hawak ako sa balikat.

Bigla naman akong napaatras dahil parang napaso ako sa pagkakahawak niya. Why am I like this? I know who I am but something inside me is missing!

"Celeste, greet our guests. Now." Si mom ang nag utos non kaya kaagad naman akong sumunod. Her face looks disappointed or is it just my perspective?

"Y-yes mom..." mahina kong sabi.

Huminga ako ng malalim at inilibot ko ang mga mata ko sa kabuoang paligid.

"I Celeste Lazaro, the heiress of the Lazaro Clan and I shall thank you our guests for coming and being with us for this special event that my family organized. I was truly grateful for seeing such a handsome and beautiful faces."

Kitang kita ng mga mata ko kung paano sila magulat at kung paano manlaki ang mga mata nila dahil sa narinig nila.

Why are they reacting like this?

Why do they look so surprised?

Why does it look like I've never existed before for them to became so shock?

"this event was really prepared to introduce and present to you our one and only daughter Celeste. For those who are thinking about the health and condition of our daughter she is safe and strong so don't worry Lazaro will be strong again!" Ani ni dad.

Why would they want to introduce me? I thought they will keep my identity hidden until I inherit the throne?

Mom... dad... what are you planning?
