"Jen, is something wrong? Why was Tyler Castillo looking at us?" tanong ni Marco.

"Tyler Castillo? Do you know him?" pinahiran ko ukit ang luha ko.

"Yes. In fact, I know him very well."

"what? How?" 

"Nevermind. I'll tell you next time." he wiped my tears away, "What happened, mi amor?"

"Nothing. I just had a little emotional breakdown. We get that once in a while, right?"

"Ahh too stressed? Do not worry, my love, you will be treated as a princess as soon as we get to Italia."

"Yes. I'm just too stressed from work, okay?" yinakap ko siya.

"It'll all be okay, amor mio." bumaba ang ulo niya para halikan ako.

I turned my head towards the opposite direction. I can't let him kiss me. I don't have feelings for him.

"Next time, Marco, okay?"

He smiled and nodded "okay."

"Now, I have to go home. Good night." 

Kinissan ko nalang siya sa cheek as thank you sa pagsave sa akin tonight.

"Wait, I'll come with you. I want to meet your parents. As a prince, it is not right that I do not meet your parents before we leave."

"Okay" i smiled weakly.

Hinatid kami ng royal servants ni Marco papuntang bahay.

*L A T E R*

"Stay here, Marco, I'll tell them first, okay?"

He nodded and lumaba na ako sa kotse.

"'Nay 'Tay, andito na po ako"

"Hello anak." yinakap ako ni nanay.

"Aalis ho ako, 'nay 'tay.

"ano? Saan?" tanong ni nanay.

"Napagdesisyonan ko na pong sumama papuntang Italia."

"Yung sa prinsipe?"

"opo."

"naku jusko!" tuwang tuwa sila nanay. "giginhawa na tayo!"

"prinsesa na ang anak ko!" sigaw naman ni tatay. "Hindi man lang ba namin siya makikilala?"

"Actually 'tay, nasa labas siya, naghihintay."

Lumabas ako para tawagin si Marco.

Lumabas naman agad siya ng kotse.

Linagay ko ang kamay ko sa braso niya and led him inside the house.

"thug!"

Omg nauntog siya!

"Are you okay, Marco?"

"Yes, I'm fine." sabi niyang natatawa habang nakahawak sa noo.

"ang tangkad tangkad mo kasi eh. Yan tuloy!" tawang tawa ako.

"What? I did nit understand, amor mio."

"nothing. 'nay 'tay,  si Prince Marco Alessandro Romano III po."

"a lovely evening, madam and sir." nagbow siya kay tatay at hinalikan naman ang likod ng kamay ni nanay.

Ngiting ngiti si tatay. "Napakawell mannered pala ng batang ito."

Hiniwakan ni nanay ang mukha ni Marco. "Very handsome, ha? Very very handsome."

"'nay" 

"jackpot anak! Gwapo na, prinsipe pa."
