"There’s a girl in a corner defeated and lonely, liar and imperfectly.

Treachery consumed in her reality when her blissful story becomes the nightmare of the snare.

When the villain becomes the victim the table wasn’t turned nor change but it was all like that from the very beginning.

She was blinded by the truth.

Making people thought she’s a queen on her kingdom unseen the reality that’s she’s a witch who destroyed her fortress.

Abandoned and mistreated her life cycle was leash and misunderstood.

Blimey! Her story turns out to a cliché when a boy she dreamed rescued the wishful lass.

The unfolded story of the princess who never saved was now depleted.

In a blink of an eye the abandoned child had seen her home.  A family she aspire, a hug that never ends.

She never thought she’ll be ever sad again until a massive agony and confusion embrace her soul.

The girl in the corner becomes lonely and defeated again.

But fairytales won’t work in a Princess because they wouldn’t exist if no Prince will come and saved them.

A prince, who’s brave to held the person and coward to let go her.

Who puts a fight someone who could cross the line for his lobster.

A prince, who is warm, deep, scared but never turned his back to his princess.

I was in pain. Mendacious runs in my blood yet I was accepted and loved by someone in spite of my dishonesty, pretentious and cowardly. 

No matter how painful your past nor your present or however discourage and vile you are there’s still someone who is right there waiting to be seen and loved by you.

I was lucky enough to find someone I really love. What matters is what your heart is saying and mind will take the action through the greatness of everyone’s happily ever after. "

After I gave my poetry the light pointing us changes its direction to Rix, Everly and the other guys. Umalis na rin kami nina Abby at Jeyan at pumuntang backstage kung saan naghahanda si Jeyan sa sayaw nito.

Rix and Everly is singing “Say Yes” it’s a Korean song. Tinanong ko iyun kay Everly at sabi niya napanood niya ang Scarlet Heart noon at nagandahan siya sa OST nito. Kahit hindi ko naiintindihan ang kinakanta nila napapaheadbang na rin ako dahil sa ganda ng boses nila.

Madownload nga ang kantang iyan.

Uuuu…I need you
Baby neoege hago peun mal
Naega motdahan mal
Baby baby baby boy, love is true

After they performed a song "Dance for you" is played and Jeyan on the other side of the stage is dancing in solo.

Woah how bold of her being alone in there yet so confident and sexy. Kung anong kulit nito sa personal ganong likot naman ng katawan nito. I’m so proud of her.

“You okay, wala bang masakit sayo?”

Someone from behind embracing his arms to mine said. It’s Chandler.

“Hmm yeah I’m fine”

After Jeyan gives her hot Dance for you the audience roared and applauds.

At the back stage where we gathered hindi namin mapigilang hindi magsaya so we hug each other and jumped around the area.

I’m so happy I wish this will never end.

“Grouuup Huug” masayang ika ni Erica.

Ang hyper talaga nito parang hindi na pagod kakasayaw. Natawa na lamang ako at sumali sa yakapan nila. After the hugs and congratulations with each other we decided to join the others. Maraming pumuri sa amin maging ang mga guro ay masayang nakipagkwentuhan sa mga kasama ko.

I saw Stacey looking at us from a far kaya pinuntuhan ko si Chandler upang magpaalam sandali.

“CR muna ako huwag mo akong mamiss ha”

“Bilisan mo kung ayaw mong e-raid ko comfort room ng niyo”

As if magagawa niya iyun.Natawa na lamang ako habang paalis doon.

“Stace” tawag ko rito ng umalis ito sa kinatatayuan niya.

“Maureen” ika nito.

“Can we talk outside ang ingay kasi rito”

“Sige” she said.

Pumunta kami sa isang bench sa labas ng Hall rinig pa rin ang hiyawan nila sa loob ngunit mahina nalang.

“I’m sorry” ika nito. “I’m sorry that I hurted you from the very start. Ako ang nagbigay ng Code White sa iyo pero maniwala ka nagsisi ako sa ginawa ko kaya pinatigil ko iyun. I’m sorry that I was reckless of all of my decision. I should go to Chandler first in that day sa ganun ay hindi ka nasaktan. I’m really sorry Maureen”

I read this from a movie before I wasn’t sure what movie it is but it says that you should forgive others not because they deserve forgiveness but because you deserve peace. Stacey was all been true to herself when she approached me before, I see in her eyes that she’s determined to have Chandler. Maybe that’s what wrong her, owning a person like a thing even she did it for love.

“Did you ever love Chandler or just because you thought his the kid who promised?”

“Hindi ko rin alam eh. I actually grew up distant from him I often go to spend some time with him. He was being different ever since I couldn’t remember. Pero sa kabila roon naniwala ako sa pangako namin kahit ang babata-bata pa namin noon. Hahaha so silly of me that I never talk to him about that promised we made hahaha hindi pala siya iyun. I thought I’ll be okay but knowing that the real person who was with me was already gone and I didn’t even knew it was more than painful. Ang sakit lang na hindi ko siya naalala sa mga panahon na iyun. I was thinking of Chandler the whole time not knowing that someone wanted to be remembered too. Mas nasaktan ako na isang alaala lamang ang meron ako sa kanya and I don’t know which other memories when I was a kid is him”

I think iyung video ang tinutukoy nito.  It not Stacey whose horrible but it is. All the bad thoughts I did to her was a reflection of me. Stacey is a great person at ako lamang itong sumira sa kanya sa isipan ko.

“Hindi ko alam kung saan ako nasasaktan dahil ba kay Chandler o dahil hindi ko nakilala si Duke”

Her tears can’t stop falling ramdam ko ang sakit nito. She’s hurting more than I did and I can’t even comfort her. I don’t know how.

“Forgive me Maureen, please forgive me”

I embrace her as she cried.

“You don’t have to Stace. Kahit naman siguro pag ako ang nasa posisyon mo iyun din ang gagawin ko. And please don’t be sad I know he understand and it’s not too late for you to remember him. You could always start and find him in your memory. Forgive yourself Stace don’t ask forgiveness to others kung hindi mo pa napapatawad ang sarili mo. Duke is now happy so you must be also. I’m sorry that Chandler hid it from you and I knew that he did that for a reason kung ano man iyun sa mapatawad at matangap mo.”

“Salamat Maureen” she said and smiled at me.

“Let’s be friends?” I asked her teasingly kaya tumawa ito.

“Friends”

Third Person POV

“I’d like to announce that finally I found my lost daughter and fate bring her not only to me but also to the my beloved UGS, my daughter Princess Maureen Phoebe Stroma”  Mr. Vicente announces at the stage.

Everyone growled and surprise by the Director’s statement. The Class A clapped their hands while looking at Maureen while others were eyeing her still dumbfounded.

Maureen stood up from her seat and walked to the side of her father. As they met above Mr. Vicente kissed Maureen’s forehead and hug her tightly. When everyone gets back from their senses they stood and applaud.

“I don’t want to spoil you’re night so everyone don’t just stay out but relish yourself, enjoy, party and make this day memorable to everybody. Have a joyful Holiday Crest UGS!”

“Have a joyful Holiday Crest!” everyone shouted and the party music hits off.

Maureen excused herself to her father and walked to her gathered friends.

“You didn’t tell us” Ella said clinging to her right arm. Ngumiti siya rito at nagsalita.

“Hehehe sorry nakalimutan ko eh” napakamot ako sa ulo. Totoo talagang nakalimutan sabihin ni Maureen iyun. When they were visiting her at the hospital nawala iyun sa isip niya lalo na’t nagkwentuhan sila tungkol sa mga nangyari sa festival habang wala siya.

“Na-shakid lang kami sa sinabi ng Director akala ko wala siyang pamilya eh. Ano ba kasing nagyari?” usisa ni Jeyan.

“Mahabang istroya I’ll tell you the other time magsaya muna tayo ngayon” ika ni Maureen sa kanila kaya tumango sila rito pasang-ayon sa sinabi ni Maureen.

The music changed kaya naghiyawan ang iba sa pagkadismaya. Mga single kasi. Couples was left behind dancing in rhythm.

Starring at the moon so blue
Turning all my thoughts to you
I was without hopes or dreams
I tried to dull an inner scream but you
Saw me through

“May this Prince dance with his Princess?” Chandler asked Maureen lovingly. He took her hand and kiss the top of it.

“You may” natatawang ika ni Maureen kaya natawa na lang din si Chandler.

Walking on a path of air
See your faces everywhere
As you melt this heart of stone
You take my hand to guide me home and now
I’m in love

You took my heart away
When my whole life was gray
You gave me everything
And a little bit more
And when it’s cold at night
And you sleep by my side
You become the meaning of my life

Living in a world so cold
You are there to warm my soul
You came to mend a broken heart
You gave my life a brand new start and now
I’m in love

You took my heart away
When my whole life was gray
You gave me everything
And a little bit more
And when it’s cold at night
And you sleep by my side
You become the meaning of my life

As they dance in love, Maureen couldn’t help but felt grateful in her life. Even she was dishonest she can’t help but to question what she really did good to deserve something like this. People are there to stay in her side, a family she just once dreamed and someone who listened to her endless stories.

A man crosses from her mind, Marco Polo, a man with millions of stories. She once read the story of this person before and ever since, she adored him not because he has a lot to tell but people wanted to listen to him. Maureen isn’t a good teller she tells lie and dramatic but all she wanted is someone who could listen to her even in her darkest times. Neither a person who can’t ignore her when she’s telling how happy she is nor she’s in her worst.

Someone like Chandler no...it’s actually Chandler.

You become the meaning
You become the meaning of, my life

“Thank you” Maureen said with teary eyes.

“I love you”
