“I believe that no matter how busy your life is, no matter how hectic your schedule is, and no matter how focused you are on your work, there’s that one person who will come to your life and shake your world, disrupt your system, and seize your concentration."

Auguste gazed at the woman beside him. No, it's not because of the carefree way she drank that beer that made her look so innocent and pure. It's because of the way she just described what true love is. 

It's because that's also how love is to him.

It has been years since he felt that for someone. He used to love someone who ruled his life and made him not want to do anything but be with her. But that woman is now out of his life and is about to marry a real-life prince.

Since then, Auguste believed that he will never fall in love again. Never did he think that the woman in front of him now will be that someone who will shake up his world, mess up with his life and distract him forever.

Moonville Romances: Cinderella and the Almost Prince

Sinangag ni Sinang is a small restaurant in the outskirts of the city that serves breakfast dishes, most of which are the famous ‘silog’ meals, hence the name. At lunchtime and dinner, it offers other Filipino dishes including their bestsellers Sinigang na Bangus, Pork Sisig and Beef Bulalo. Most of its customers are tricycle and jeepney drivers since it is situated near the highway and the food is very affordable. 


Auguste was the one who ordered for them. They have the famous Beef Bulalo and Pork Sisig. They also ordered Pinakbet and steaming hot rice. Since it's buffet style, their food was immediately served. 


"How many times have you been here?" Margaret asked. "It seems you already knew the menu very well." 


"A couple of times," Auguste said. "I already ordered most of the dishes they offer, except for the chicken dishes, of course." 


"You are so pathetic," Margaret said sarcastically, as a joke, of course. 


"I am. So please don’t patronize me." 


For Real?
