Princess He

Chapter 7 : Wishes Upon A Star

The princess was amazed on the Cinderella movie she and Jin watched. It’s a nice feeling for her that her mother is really famous in the human world and that what happened in her mother’s life are known by the people, except about the fact that Cinderella gave birth to a beautiful Princess. And, another thing is just not right about what the people knows about her mother..

“There’s something wrong about that movie!”, she shouted. “When the fairy god mother created a gown for Cinderella, it is pink, it isn’t blue!”, she continued.

Jin just laughed.

Princess Lianna woke up early. She took a bath and looked at herself in front of the mirror. She misses herself. She misses the real she. She misses her gowns and shoes and even her tiara. She hopes it will rain today. She went to the rooftop and looked at the sky. The sun is shining high and bright.

“No hope of raining today”, she sighed.

“I wish it will rain today!” someone behind her talked. It was Jin.

“You’re still here?” princess Lianna asked.

“My flight was moved at 11pm, and I wish for the last hours I will be here, rain will fall.”

“Do.you love rain?”, the princess asked.

“Yes.”, he answered.

“I also love rain. It brings me back to who I really was…I mean..rain brings good memories.. How about you? Why do you love rain?”

“I love rain because it was raining when I saw her”. The princess was confused.

“Who?”

“The girl I love. Maybe if it will rain today, I will be able to see here again.” Then he left.

Hearing those brings sadness to Lianna’s heart. There is already a girl in Jin’s heart. Someone owns her heart now. She has nothing to do about it but…why does it feels like she was stabbed in her heart for how many times? Why does it feel hurt?

As her tears drop from her eyes, the rain fell heavily. Lights brighter than the sun that can’t be seen anymore because of the rain, wrapped her from head to toe. She continued crying under the rain until the rain had stopped and the stars started to scatter on the wide night sky.

“Where have you been?” Jin’s voice suddenly appeared.

“Rooftop.”, she replied coldly.

“What took you so long?”

“Gazing stars”.

“Do the stars help your way back here?”

“I was just in the rooftop, how will I lose my way back here?”, there’s a wide smile appeared in the princess face.

There was a silence.

“It rained heavy today”, said Jin in a soft voice.

It rained today. The princess felt a couple of hours how it feels to be in herself again but why is she feeling so sad?

“I saw the girl I love today”, Jin whispered.

It rained, in the princess’ mind she should be happy since Jin saw his love today and she knew Jin will be happy for that. She looked at Jin’s face. The happiness she thought on Jin’s face turned into sadness.

”I saw her crying in the rain and I can’t do anything but to watch her from far away”. Seeing Jin sad added more sadness to the princess heart. She can’t say anything but to listen on what Jin is saying. “But though right now, I could do nothing but to watch her from behind and say the phrase ‘I love you’ in a quiet way, I wish the stars would lead her to where I am, someday”.

She can feel how Jin loves this girl. She wishes she could do something for Jin. “Maybe now you can’t be together but I believe stars will lead her to you. Look! Falling star! Make a wish!” They both looked up the sky and closed their eyes.

“If only she would confess to me that she’s a girl, then I would be happy to make her feel how much I love her. Please lead the girl I love in her way to where I am", Jin wished.

“Even though someone else owned his heart now, I wish him to have a happy life with this girl someday. Please, lead the girl she loves to him so that I will never see again that sad face on him”, the Princess wished.

Then they both opened their eyes.
