Chapter 25.2
Please... sea witches... Isabelle, if you are real, please, help us.
I thought I'm gonna lose my consciousness but as my eyes dropped closed, I heard a hymn inside my head.
"Open your eyes, dear Gabriela," I heard a gentle and sweet voice and inside my head—maybe in my dreams, I saw the familiar face I'm always seeing in my dream.
It was me, her face, her eyes—it was my face. Her hair's ginger too, with pearls on the side of her head like a head dress. A pearl necklace was hanging on her neck, swimming beside me.
She smiled. She didn't open her mouth to speak but inside my head, I can hear her voice.
Isabelle!
"Hindi pa katapusan," she was maintaining an eye contact, still not opening her mouth to speak. "Kayo ang magtatapos ng simulang hindi namin naisarado."
She lifted her hand to reach me, she cupped my cheek first before glancing at Seb on my arms until she smiled but this time, I saw how it became sadder and in pain. She gently touched my necklace.
"Gabriela... wake up..." the voice whispered inside my head and I opened my eyes almost immediately.
I looked around. I saw nothing around me but the vast, blue ocean. Nothing else but unlike earlier, I felt like my energy came back.
I glanced at Seb again and paddle my feet, lifting my arm to swim up.
Hang on, Seb. Hang on.
Fortunately and weirdly, I find it easier than earlier. It was as if the waves are pulling us up, it was as if the ocean has its own hand, lending us its warmth, helping us rose until I saw people swimming for us.
"Gab!" I heard my cousin screaming from somewhere when I successfully reached the side of the shore with those men but I didn't have the chance to look at her. I stared at Seb's pale face, without saying anything, I gave him a CPR.
"Seb, Seb, wake up!" I called hastily, compressing his chest. I gave him air by blowing on is mouth, compressing it more, almost crying in desperation.
"Your highness—"
"Let me!" I screamed loudly and frustratedly but precisely giving his chest compression, blowing his mouth for air.
"Wake up, Sebastian," I cried and compressed his chest more. "Sebastian Leandro!"
Then, he coughed out the sea water. I gasped.
"S-Seb!" I called, crying, watching his eyelids move until his black orbs stared back at me.
"H-Hi, conyo, creepy mo umiyak," he mumbled his breath and smiled.
"P-Pakyu ka, ah!" I cried loudly, smiling. I moved my face closer to his face and pushed my forehead against his.
I can hear the commotion around but I cared less. My attention was for him.
"S-Seb..." I cried, staring intently at his face. "Y-You made me worry, Sebastian Leandro... you... you made me..." I sniffed.
"Sshh, don't worry," he hummed, smiling. He weakly reached for my cheek and gently caressed it.
"You got drowned! How could you..." I cried, "how could tell me not to w-worry!"
"I-I know, I know my Gabriela would save me," he whispered, his eyes sleepy and yet, twinkling. "Leandro told me,"
"You..." my lips trembled, "y-you've seen him?"
He smiled and closed his eyes briefly, nodding.
"He told me, he told me Gabriela would s-save me. Kagaya kay Isabelle, ililigtas ako ng Gabriela ko..." he whispered. I cried more.
"Aruy..." he hummed, groaning, "h'wag na iyak, 'te, nakakabawas ng gorgeous 'yan—"
I smacked him, "how could I not—"
"A-Aray..." he groaned, stopping me.
"What?! Why are you groaning?! Are you hurt?!"
"S-Sinaksak..." he gasped loudly, "'yong gagang tandang... fuck, that old woman stabbed me..."
"O-Oh my..." I gasped loudly, glancing at his waist and saw his shirt turning red. I panicked.
"Gab, let us," I heard a voice and when I looked back, I saw Lucian. Behind him are the boys running towards us while assisting G.
"Lucian!" I called, "he has wounds!"
"He's gonna be alright, Gab," he smiled and glanced at Seb's way, "matagal mamatay ang masamang damo."
"T-Tang ina mo, Cap," Seb hissed loudly and when I glanced his way, he was showing the duke his middle finger.
"'Di ba?!" Lucian laughed, "saan ka nakakitang 50/50 na ang buhay nang-aaway pa?"
He then laughed and lifted his bandage for the wounds. When they reached us, the boys ran towards him and G hugged me tightly.
"You okay, Gab?!" she asked urgently, I nodded and sniffed.
"Ano 'yan?" Seb groaned when he saw the bandage Lucian's lifting in the air.
"Bandage," he answered.
"Para saan?" he asked.
"Papalibot ko sa leeg mo sabay hila! Tanga, malamang para sa sugat mo!" Lucian hissed and when Seb frowned, they laughed loudly.
"Sige, pagtawanan n'yo 'ko! Saan na ba Mama ko—"
"Hoy! Nag-Mama card ka na naman!" Owen frowned, "pero sorry, your highness, wala rito si Tita Mila. Kami lang kaya walang prinsipe-prinsipe rito!"
I felt a warm cloth on my shoulder, when I looked back, I saw Ian smiling shyly.
"Ian..." I called, "thank you..."
"It's cold," he smiled and then offered another jacket for G. "Jacket, G?"
"Oh, super sweet naman talaga ang baby Ian namin!" G giggled and took the jacket from him, "thank you, Ian!"
Ian smiled shyly, curtsying a bit before he went to the boys and helped in pulling the groaning Seb up.
"Dahan-dahan, tang ina nga..." Seb hissed loudly, "double dead na 'yang tagiliran ko sa saksak, ah! Nasaksak na dati, may part two pa ngayon. RIP waist, you will be remembered."
"Ang ingay, Baste. 'Di ka ba nawawalan ng sasabihin sa buhay?" Ian asked.
"A-Aray... Aray, dahan-dahan, Romeo save me!" he groaned loudly but stopped when he saw me. His face softened.
"Gab, tara na, mahal." He called. Everyone froze.
Sebastian stopped, too, as if caught off guard. His face reddened.
"Grabe ka, Baste... mahal pala?" Romeo's grin slowly escaped.
"Hindi na ikaw ang Sebastian na kilala namin," the quiet Ian mumbled. Seb looked more flustered.
"M-Mahal..." Owen touched his chest dramatically, "puta, sana all! When kaya?!"
"H-Hoy!" he hissed, "h-h'wag nga kayong—"
"Yieeut!" G giggled beside me, "If si basher ang bumanat, si Gab ay ratrat!" she exclaimed, they burst out laughing.
My jaw dropped.
"Guinevere!" I screamed loudly, my cheeks heating up.
They brought Seb in the yacht first. I was informed they are separating the pakyu Eleonor for safety, and that they got her already. They apologized for the trouble, turned out, Eleonor had an accomplice left. A guard posing in her behalf to help her.
"Gab, tara, let's go, go, go?" G called my attention but I remained staring at the island in front of me, my mouth parting.
"This is..." I pointed the place, "we got here in Zarina?"
"Hmm..." she smiled, "the island showed itself for you."
My mouth parted, remembering what happened earlier when we were under water. I saw inside my head, maybe just a wishful dream but I swear I saw Isabelle.
"Wow..." I whispered. "'Di ba, 'di ba, it's under water kanina? Then..."
"Hmm..." G smiled and linked her arms on mine, "did you call her?"
I nodded, still can't believe I'm seeing the island in front of me.
"Seemed like the sea witches helped you, too," she smiled gently, "the whole island was blessed with the pirate and the princess' love, Gab."
I glanced her way.
"Legends says, they blessed this island. Whoever comes here—only those with sincere and good hearts a gift. They blessed people with the thing fate took away from them." She mumbled dreamily, her eyes twinkling.
"What is it, G?" I asked.
G glanced my way and smiled, "a happy ending."
I gasped loudly. I felt shiver all over me that I hugged myself tighter.
"The tale is true, then," I uttered. "Do you think it happened before, G?"
"Who knows?" she smiled, "maybe in another universe? A legend, tale, myths always came from a part of truth, Gab. If you ask me, I believed the tale. I believed there is another us—in another world, another life."
I nodded, smiling.
"I saw Isabelle when I closed my eyes," I mumbled. She immediately glanced at me, her eyes widening.
"Really?"
"Crazy and weird as it sounds but I think she helped us up. I felt like the waves pulled us up to the shore, G. I felt it's presence—it was warm and..." I smiled gently. "I'm not baliw, ah?"
"Silly!" she chuckled, "how could I think of you that way when it already happened to me before? Guinevere," she mumbled, "the princess, I thought I've seen her before, too. The pirates and her, helped us, too."
"Wow..." I gently touched my necklace, "this island really is magical."
"Leandro, Isabelle..." G mumbled, glancing at me with a knowing look. "How could I not think of it?"
"Hmm?" my forehead creased.
"Gabriela Isabelle, Sebastian Leandro," she mumbled and chuckled knowingly. "Magsasara ng hindi na-finish, hmm, now, Madam Yuka's weirdness... I think I got it."
"Madam?" I asked.
"I was scared of her before. She's really creepy but she's a good woman," she uttered, "before Eleonor and Catherine took you, she went to Luci and said we should watch the island. She said, what finished has started again and it's up to those people to close it."
My mouth parted.
"I thought it was really weird. We didn't think of it much but when Seb asked for help, saying it wasn't you he's with? We received a call from Caspian, Luci's cousin, saying a suspicious yacht's lurking around the island. That's where we found you."
It was one shocking revelation. We went to the yacht to go to the hospital and as it sailed away from the ocean, I got the sweet salty scent of waters.
I touched my necklace and closed my eyes, feeling the warm air touching my skin.
Thank you, sea witches. Thank you, princess and the pirates. Thank you, Isabelle, Leandro. Thank you for letting us close the unfinished chapter of your story.
Luckily, Seb's wounds aren't that deep. He recovered after a few weeks and we went back to Italy with our Melody to get some things done.
Catherine, Eleonor and their accomplices got punished by the court of law. Catherine even crawled her way out by saying Eleonor only forced her into the scheme but we all know she's all in this with her.
I was enraged but they asked me to recover, too, since I've been through a lot. My Mom told me. My Mom—wow, I have one!
She helped me through it, saying Dad and her would take it from there and they were severely punished together with the House of Kastrioti. We found out that house crawled their way up illegally and this time, the Romanovs showed no mercy in any of them.
They made sure no power will be left and will be vested again in that house, unless the rightful family of it comes to take over.
It was really exhausting. I was really glad our vacation time was quite long before for we were all busy right now working on things we left before.
I worked hard but Seb? He works harder.
"O-Oh, Seb, faster!" I gasped loudly in ecstacy.
"Shh..." he chuckled on my ear, pulling my legs up more on his waist. "Quiet, Sandy, they might hear you screaming."
"I couldn't..." I moaned again, "how could I stay silent when you kept on teasing me? Just... just oh my, just fuck me harder!"
He moved away almost hastily. His eyes are wide while looking at me.
"What did you say?" he was shocked.
"Uh, fuck?" I blinked my eyes.
"Saan mo natutunan 'yan?" he asked and I frowned, staring at him seriously.
"I searched?" I asked, "I'm not innocent na kaya? I'm matured and an adult! Of course, I searched and found out na if it's make love, soft and sweet. If it's fuck then harder? Faster?" I smiled cutely.
"Anak ka ng..." he licked his lower lip, his eyes turned darker this time, "enjoy na enjoy ka sa bagong phone mo, ah? Parang no'ng nakaraan lang puro lang tayo spongebob at little mermaid, ngayon..."
"H-Hey!" my cheeks heated, "of course, I have to be better! I read kasi from facebook na to make your partner satisfied, dapat you know then when to make some giling."
"Giling!" he blurted and laughed, "kahit 'di mo 'ko gilingan, Gabriela, luluhod ako sa 'yo."
"But I wanna make giling," I shrugged, "but first of all, can we quit having chika while you're saying hi, hello, how are you to Sandy? She's sobbing na..."
"Iyakin naman ni Sandy ko na 'yan," he laughed and kissed my lips, gently removing himself from me and held my waist.
"Anong gusto mo, kamahalan? Make love or..." his brow twitched.
"Fuck," I answered back and bit my lower lip. "I want you to do me harder and faster. I want you to make my knees tremble with Sandy crying so bad. I like the feeling when you fill me to the brim." I said in all honesty.
"Uh-hmm..." he moistened his lower lip, his eyes glistening sexily. I saw how his jaw clenched while eyeing me from head to toe until his eyes got stuck on my chest, "palaban ka na ngayon, Sandy?"
I smiled sexily and winked. He chuckled in amusement and lowered his head to claim my lips.
"Tang ina, ang ganda mo talaga," he whispered and gripped my waist. "Tuwad, Gabriela."
And I felt like right now, I'll submit and happily, I turned my back from him and gripped the sink when he pushed himself behind.
"Mierda," he cursed loudly as he spanked my butt, "estoy tan enamorado de ti, Gabriela."
"Huh?" I looked at him in the mirror and he winked, slowly pushing himself inside and whispered.
"Sabi ko, mahal na mahal kita," then he claimed me with no hesitations.
I was moaning his name nonstop. I am convulsing in such pleasure. I didn't even count how many times Sandy cried hard but everytime it happens, I am honestly in the bottom of Bikini Bottom.
"Ah! Oh my..." I squinted my eyes closed, hearing the harsh slaps of our skin.
"Shit..." he cursed and thrusted more while gripping my waist. "Marry me, Gabriela."
"H-Huh?" I froze the same time he stopped and stared at my reflection in the mirror.
"I said..." he thrusted gentler this time, "pakasalan mo 'ko, mahal,"
"O-Oh..." I covered my mouth, "y-you wanna marry me..."
My heart raced erratically.
"Of course," he chuckled and cupped my breast. "Now, mahal, what's your answer?"
"Can we..." I gasped loudly, confused where to focus.
Should I answer or should we finish this first?!
"Can we... oh, gosh." I gripped his arm on my chest, "c-can I answer it after—"
"Nah, gusto kong sagot," he chuckled and hugged my stomach more, even thrusting more inside me. "Walang Mr. Crabs kapag hindi sasagot si Sandy..."
"But..." I purred again when his finger lowered and touched my sensitive bud. "S-Sebastian..."
"Sasagot ka o kakagatin ko 'tong dalandan mo," he chuckled and squeezed my melons.
"I..." I heaved a deep breath, staring at his face back in the mirror. "I will marry you, mahal."
His eyes brightened. I think I saw how he teared up a little but he hid it by burying his face on my nape and kissing my skin.
"Really?" he asked like a kid.
"Hmm..." I tilted my head and caught his lips. "Really, I love you, Seb ko."
"Fuck," he cursed and bit my lower lip. "Mahal na mahal din kita."
He finished inside me with pure bliss. Maybe we are both glowing pa nga when we got out of the bathroom and smiling. Our finger our intertwined as I sat on the bed. He even dried my hair while endlessly kissing my hair.
"Seb nga..." I giggled when he can't seem to get off me.
"Bakit?" he chuckled, "natutuwa lang ako, akalain mo 'yon, napa-oo ko na naman ang prinsesa ng Italya? Isa na naman panalo, Pilipinas! Sana proud kayo sa akin mga kababayan! Puso!" he tapped his chest.
"Tss, you act as if I haven't won you, too. Excuse me but my mean boy's literally the prince of Spain! How could it not become a catch? Super tang ina na, super pogi pa, super yummy, super sexy—medyo mean boy lang and basher pero he won't be my Seb if he won't bully me?"
He cackled and kissed my cheek, "cute mo, gaga. Kapag ako nanggigil ipapagiling talaga kita sa ibabaw ko."
"Seb!" my cheeks flustered. "You're so bastos, ah! I'm baby pa." I hugged my body consciously, earning laughter from the both of us.
I stopped when I felt him slipped something on my finger and when I glanced at it, I saw a pearl ring.
"Seb..." I called gently.
"Sorry natagalan," he chuckled, "naghahanap kasi 'ko ng magandang perlas para sa singsing. Sana nagustuhan mo."
"Of course!" I blurted happily, "anything from you, of course, I would definitely love it! Thank you, Seb! I mahal you!" I kissed his cheek soundly.
"Ma Gab? Papa Seb?" we immediately stood from the bed and Seb walked towards the door and opened it, grinning when he saw Melody while hugging her mermaid stuff toys outside the door.
"Bebe kong bulol!" he chirped. "Naks naman, naka-gown si bebe ko! Princess yarn?"
"Papa Seb!" she screamed back and lifted her hand, chuckling.
Seb carried his daughter on his arms. I chuckled and waved my hand when Melody winked at me.
"Hi, Ma Gab! Beauwtiful umaga!" she even swayed her hand and bowed cutely.
"Beautiful umaga, too, little princess!" I greeted back and curtsied, earning a giggle from her.
"I'm princess!" she sang, "Mewlowdy princess!"
She lifted her hand and I took her from Seb, smiling as I kissed her cheek. She kissed my cheek, too.
"Ay, sandali, parang nakakahiya namang hindi ko babatiin ang aking mga prinsesang conyo girls." Seb smiled and fixed his shirt. "Good morning, mi princess, mi reina," he bowed like a gentleman.
Our smiled widened.
"Beautiful umaga, too, Papa Seb!" Melody and I blurted before bowing to him.
He smirked, offering his palms to us.
"Can I ask my queen and princess for a dance?" he asked and happily, I placed my palm on his and Melody did the same.
"Gladly, your majesty," I answered.
"Music, maestro!" he snapped but then stopped when no music came out. "ay tanga, wala pala sa ballroom, ako na lang kakanta." He cleared his throat and grinned at us.
"Sayaw conyo! Sayaw conyo!" he started and Melody and I, both threw him a warning look, earning a laugh from him before he showered us with his kisses.
We dine inside my room for breakfast. It was our family meal, we always do this every morning but still, it was surreal. During dinner, if our families are here, we are eating with them.
We told Melody about our wedding and she was really happy. She even danced in happiness with Seb teasing her with the conyo song he's been singing and our baby loved it so much.
While having our breakfast, Seb and I talked about our wedding and when we are planning to make it happen.
"Next month?" I asked happily.
"Nope," he shook his head.
"Huuuh?" my shoulder fell, "whyyy?"
"Gusto kong paghandaan, mahal, h'wag ka na sad." He chuckled and pinched my cheek.
"I don't need a super bongga wedding!" I answered, "simple is fine, as long as our families and loving friends are there. One thing pa, no need to bongga kasi duh? Bongga ang wife mo? Face pa lang na super gorgeous, oh?"
"Luh, yabang yarn?!" He laughed then looked at me knowingly and smirked, "trust me, Gabriela. We have a surprise for you, baby."
I was called by a meeting in the afternoon. I am not sure what is it about but it was an announcement with the members of the court of Italy.
I was confused because my family is here together with our alliances from other countries!
Melody ran when she saw Sophia and Austin. I kissed my parents hello before sitting beside them.
"Hello, mi hija," I heard a voice and I jumped and stood to hug Queen Mila who even attended!
What was really happening?
The minister started with a few introductions and pleasantries.
"Darling, how about a dinner later?" a soft whisper on my ear asked.
"Mom..." I smiled sweetly, leaning on her shoulder then slowly hugged her on the waist. "Sure, Mom."
"My baby..." she sighed and kissed my head, "I'm sorry for not being there while you're growing up. I hope you could give your Mama a chance. I promise to do anything in my power to make up for the times I missed and take care of you. I'd make you safe, mia figlia."
My daughter... she called me her daughter! I have a mother!
"Of course," my eyes swelled when I looked at her gentle face, it mirrored mine. "I love you, Mom."
"Darling," my father then called her attention, "did you already—" but he stopped when he saw me glaring. "What, princess? Why are you... glaring?" he asked nervously.
"I'm having my time with my Mama," I hissed and pouted, "you have her all day and night! My mother is mine for today! Hmp!"
He laughed. Mom chuckled and hugged me more.
"Your daughter's right, George! You have everyday, now, my sweet Gabriela will have me all day!" she snapped, smiling.
"Did you tell her, Mama?" suddenly, Austin asked Mom. I glanced at them and saw Melody sitting on his lap while playing with Sofia beside him.
"Tell what, son?" Mom asked him gently.
"About the surprise?" he asked.
"Surprise?" my forehead creased.
"Oh, let your sister find out, Austin." Mama chuckled, "she'll be thrilled for sure. After that, we prepared a feast for you later this evening. Your Dad, siblings and friends helped us with it."
"Princess Gabriela, your highness," my eyes darted to the platform when the minister called my attention.
I sat straight and nodded, acknowledging him.
"The House of Savoy, together with the whole people of the court of the kingdom of Italy has been in talks the past few months regarding her majesties concerns..." he started.
Concern?
I glanced at my Seb, he winked and put his palm on my legs, opening his fingers for me. I intertwined my fingers with his while listening.
"You have proven to us what is it to be a leader, your majesty. You made us realize everyone could be a leader, regardless the gender. That what matters is the leader's heart, love for the country and standing up for the things she believed in." He smiled, "and I was glad you have opened up this topic to the court. That we should go and evolve with the changes of society. And that if we wanted change, we start it with the governance and that's up for the people to follow."
He cleared his throat and took out a few documents to read.
"I, Benjamin Romanov, minister of Casa Savoia hereby declared the abolishment..." he then stated the law and my lips trembled.
Oh my God!
"Our future Queen, Princess Gabriela Romanov will be crowned Queen regardless if she has a spouse or not." He declared, "this is effective as of today and will remain Italy's rule in the court of law affecting her highness' coronation and the royal blood to be crowned in the near future."
I cried. Oh my God, I cried like a river.
I was sobbing as I signed the royal decree. I think I looked ugly in the photos for my bloodshot eyes but I don't care! I can't believe it! I just tried voicing out this before and now...
"Seb ko!" I was hugging Seb while crying, "i-is this why you w-wanted us not to get wed f-fast?"
"Iyakin naman ang prinsesa ko," he chuckled and crotched a little so he could see my face and dry my tears. "Hmm, matagal mo na kasing pinaglalaban ang paniniwala mo and of course, I support you. I don't want to rush you into marriage for I wanted you to enjoy first the perks of fighting what you believed in."
"T-Thank you, Seb," I sniffed and stared at his eyes. "I-I can't believe this... I thought this won't be discussed again but..."
"The neighboring countries and the royal house of Spain supports her highness' beliefs. We believed how this new decree would help you and the future heirs to the crown." He smiled gently.
"Thank you, Seb ko," I sniffed. "B-But is it okay ba to you to wait? My coronation will be a month from now then may be I'd go around and help for a few months, is it okay?"
"Oo," he touched my chin, "dito lang naman ako, 'te. Nanalo na ang representative ng mga kababayan ko sa Pinas lalayas pa ba 'ko?"
I chuckled, kissing him briefly on the lips.
"Ti voglio bene," I whispered on his lips, saying I love him.
"Te quiero, Gabriela," he whispered back. I gasped in amazement.
"Oh my..."
"Hot ba, 'te? Hindi 'yan google translate," he smiled evilly, I nodded hastily.
"U-Uh..." I held my gown, "I think Sandy's about to sob now, mahal?"
He grinned. He held my hand to maybe rush back to our room when I saw the boys. Romeo was with Juliet. Ian was pouting while chewing something, maybe a gum? They're with G and Luci. Even Nana—G's nanny is here!
"Can you please stop pissing me off?" Anton hissed.
"What, your excellency?" Owen chuckled, "I was just telling you some story! I told you, I can teach you how to swim!"
They still haven't seen us.
"They're always bickering, Seb," I noticed.
"Oo, aso't-puso. Alam mo naman 'yang si Owen, walang ginawa sa buhay kung hindi mambwisit. Kaya 'di nakaka-girlfriend," he answered.
"But sometimes naman they're okay," I noticed, "they're cute kaya. They looked like enemies then friends at times. They remind me of something but I just can't grasp it. You think they're bagay?"
Seb stared at them and chuckled, "depends on them. It's been so long since I last saw Owen with a woman, puro na lang pambibwisit sa buhay ko ginagawa ng mga gungong na 'yan. I really have no problem what his prospect to a person is. Desisyon naman niya 'yan, ayos lang din 'yan kina Cap sigurado. Eh, si Anton ba?"
"I'm not so sure about Anton," I answered back. "He said he has no plans of getting married. We haven't really talked about what he likes so..."
We both shrugged.
"What?" Anton hissed.
"Arte, titingnan lang 'yong relo, saan mo 'yan binili?" he asked.
"I can't understand you. Idiot." Anton scowled but Owen just smiled sexily and shook his head.
"You know what, Seb?" I asked. "I think I know who they reminded me of."
"Oh? Sino?" he laughed.
"Mermaid Man and Barnacle Boy," I answered seriously but that serious was not taking lightly because when I thought of Owen and Anton in Mermaid Man and Barnacle Boy's outfit, I began laughing loudly, too.
"Puta..." Seb cackled on my ear, "ayoko na, Gabriela! How to unimagine?!"
"Uy! Hello, Gab-gab! Basher!" G screamed upon seeing us hiding. She bounced when she saw us.
"G!" I greeted happily, still with the ghost of smile on my lips. "Hi, hello! G! Nana! Tang ina boys, I have chika!" I screamed and ran.
"Anong sabi mo, Gabriela?" Nana suddenly asked. I stopped from sprinting.
"Hmm? Why Nana?" I asked nervously, I then felt Seb's grip on my waist after.
"What you said... what did you call them?"
"Uh, tang ina boys?" I answered in confusion.
"Anong...!" she exclaimed, she glanced at the boys who averted her gaze.
"Why, Nana?" I asked gently, "is it bad? It's referring lang 'di ba if they're gwapo?"
Her jaw dropped. I heard Seb's clearing of throat and caught G's eyes widening horribly.
"Kayo talaga kung anong pinagtuturo n'yo sa reyna! Sebastian! Cathalina Guinevere?!" she exclaimed loudly and I saw how G hid behind the chuckling Lucian and Seb slowly hid himself behind me.
"Tago mo 'ko, 'te," he whispered and snaked his arms on my stomach. "Dragon 'yan si Nana magalit!"
"What?" I became more confused, "what does it mean, Nana? Isn't it gwapo?"
"No, your highness," she shook her head. "Hala! Hala, Guinevere! Sabihin mo sa pinsan mo ang ibig sabihin niyan bago ko pa makurot ang singit mo!"
"W-Well, Gab!" the chickening G spoke, still hiding on her husband's back. "W-Well, don't be galit at me, ah?"
"What does it mean ba?" I pouted.
"Well... it's a curse. It's uhm, tang ina is a curse, it means motherfucker. Hehe, sorry po," she answered. My jaw dropped.
Seb, you betrayed me?!
I felt Seb slowly retreating behind me in attempt to run.
"T-Then..." I gasped, "in that case... what's the difference with maganda and the annoyed pakyu with a middle finger meant?" I asked and showed them my middle finger.
"H'waggg!" they screamed but I was too late, Nana was fuming mad now.
"Mga sutil!" she screamed, "nasaan na ang pamalo ko?!" she exclaimed then took her slippers off and it became a flying tsinelas and it landed on Seb's head. He tripped. Face first.
"Aray ko, puta!" he groaned.
"Desurv!" I screamed angrily and showed him my maldita irap, lifting my finger to show him my middle finger.
Happiness has its own time, too. It might not be for you at first but it will come because it was always destined for you. It was hard. I lived in a monotonous life ever since I was little. I was deprived of childhood. I tried my best to be perfect, to please my parents—my mother in the hopes of her treating me like her child.
My storybooks were burned. I have left with nothing but my burned Little Mermaid storybook I've loved ever since I was little but a simple royal visit in Brooklyn changed everything.
In that ship, I met people. Not just friends. I met a warm family, a home.
A royal visit in Brooklyn was the start of meeting the basher of my life. That mean, brute man who hated conyo girls but ended up loving me. Given na that kasi I'm pretty and smart talaga! I'm the top one of our class of three. My classmates are Autin and Sofia, my siblings.
That royal visit in Brooklyn gave me a chance to turn my monotonous life into a colorful one. It turned to the royal visit in Bikini Bottom with Mr. Crabs and Sandy, discovering that the secret recipe of Krabby Patty is Melody.
Those royal visitations led me into this and now... we are finally having the most awaited time in our lives. Finally, the coronation for the royal crown of Italy.
I was smiling at the crowd while clinging on my prince's arms. He's wearing a royal red monochromic knee-length coat, white inner shirt, black pants and high leather shoes. On his arms is our princess, Melody, wearing her glittered pink dress and small tiara and I?
Of course, si Gab-Gab ay not papakabog!
I am wearing an immaculate long and regal white ball gown. It has a stunning embroidery from the top itself down the skirt, the color is in mix of pure white and gold with its gorgeous sleeves and elegant bows falling a bit its sides. I paired it with Seb's pearl necklace gift and earring while my hair is tied up neatly with few curls falling at the side of my face. The long train of cape touched the floor as they announced our arrival.
"Our future queen with the crowned prince Sebastian Leandro Saavedra Fernandez de García Bacá from Casa de Borbón, royal house of the Kingdom of Spain together with her young highness..." we entered with Seb and my Melody.
"Princess Pearl Melody Thyrania Bianchi Romanov de García Bacá, heiress of Casa de Borbón and the House of Savoy, kingdom of Spain and Italy..." He introduced our daughter.
"Yay! Princess!" Melody blurted happily and clapped her hands. It made me smile.
"Naks, haba ng name ng bebe conyong Pearl Melody namin na 'yan, 'di nila alam collab lang 'yan ni Little Mermaid at Spongebob." Seb commented, I chuckled.
I smiled at the people witnessing the coronation today. I saw the boys in their formal attire, G in her pretty green gown waved from the distance beside Lucian. Baby Magnus and their new baby, the little girl, Anastasia on Lucian's arms.
My family took me in the middle of the church where the throne was, the archbishop was there waiting for us.
"Good luck, mahal," I smiled sweetly after Seb whispered.
"Fight, Ma Gab! Yahh!" she blurted happily.
"I love you, Seb, baby Melody." I sighed happily, "I mahal you two so much."
They assisted me towards the middle near the throne. I sighed, quite nervous and smiled. They curtsied to show their respect and it was such an overwhelming feeling seeing the people of Italy and the leaders from different countries in unity for today's coronation.
I searched on the crowd to look for familiar faces when I caught Madam Yuka at the back, watching. My eyes widened.
She's here!
She caught me staring and she smiled, nodding her head.
"Thank you," she mouthed then smiled.
"Your majesty..." the priest called, I glanced their way to ask but when I looked back to where Madam is, she's nowhere to be found.
The ceremony started. The royal guards are here. I stood in front of the crowd. The ceremony started with me answering and solemnly saying my oath and my promise to the people and my country.
I was standing in my long gown, in my hand is a golden scepter and the sovereign's orb as a part of the royal jewel. It is the sign of symbolism and power and the honesty and promise to the people.
"Will you to your power cause Law and Justice, in Mercy, to be executed in all your judgements?" the archbishop asked.
"I will." I answered in all honesty.
"Will you to the utmost of your power maintain the Laws of God and the true profession of the Gospel? Will you to the utmost of your power maintain in Europe the Protestant Reformed Religion established by law? Will you maintain and preserve inviolably the settlement of the Church of Italy, and the doctrine, worship, discipline, and government thereof, as by law established in Italy? And will you preserve unto the Bishops and Clergy of Italy, and to the Churches there committed to their charge, all such rights and privileges, as by law do or shall appertain to them or any of them?
I smiled, locking gazes with Seb who looked so handsome yet very, very proud of me. Melody even covered her mouth in glee when Seb whispered something before pointing me.
"I solemnly promise so to do," I said with determination, smiling.
For the people of Italy. For my family.
I saw their smiles as the crown was lifted off from its place and my heart, it felt warmer and proud.
Finally, after a long way... here we are.
"By the power vested in me, I present to you, her majesty. Gabriela Isabelle Mignonette d'Alessi Bianchi Romanov, from the House of Savoy, Queen of Italy." He announced and placed the crown—not as a sign of royalty but a promise of loyalty to the people of my country—at the top of my head. A Queen... for its people.
