Not Your Typical Fairytale

Secure a wife

"My dear daughter, what's wrong?" Father asked caustiously as he took a look at my hands. I follow his gaze to see them shaking slightly while holding the teacup.

I stop immediately before setting it down.
My mind was preoccupied because I can't stop thinking about her. My precious fairy is still missing for almost a year. I don't know what happened basta na lamang siya nawala.

I thought it's normal dahil palagi itong nawawala sa school pero umabot nang taon na hindi siya nagpakita. Even Astrella noticed her disappearance. Hindi niya alam na fairy si Zaili ang alam lamang niya ay nagpapanggap kami. I don't think she even know about fairies.

I tried to find Zaili by using mind telekinesis but no avail. Instead, I summon the God Enyo. Fuck, I don't even know where to find her on the first place!

Ni hindi ko maramdaman ang bond namin. Wala rin ang bakas na bumisita siya sa tree house at hindi siya maamoy ni Draco. But wyll suspect that maybe she's in her kingdom.

And I hope he's right.
Dahil kinakabahan ako.
I can feel that Zaili is in danger.
My hands woundn't tremble like this if she's not. Hindi naman siguro siya patay no kasi buhay pa ako?

"I'm sorry dad, madami lang akong iniisip. What is it again?" I say quietly.

I watch him nod slowly before placing his teacup down onto the table.

Inalis ko muna sa isipan ang tungkol kay Zaili at pinagmasdan siya. Father invited me out to have some tea this afternoon. He reasoned that he missed his daughter so much, kahit nagkita kami kahapon.

It must be true because I was gone for too long. Limang taon ko yatang ginawang tirahan ang paaralan at ngayon lamang bumalik.

"Hindi mo manlang ako pinagbigyan na ipagdiwang natin ang kaarawan mo dito sa palasyo." May himig na pagtatampo na sabi niya. Napa-iling ako.

"You know I hate parties."

"I know." He shrugged.

"Mukhang ikaw ang maraming iniisip." I look up at him.

"Is there's something bugging you? Araw-araw mo kasi akong niyayayang magtsaa, they would think I'm your favorite daughter." I teased but a bit concern.

His face turn into a smirk and laughed slightly.

"Tama naman sila." proud na saad nito. I giggled.

"If Ivan is here and heard you, he will throw tantrums in the garden." Pagtukoy ko sa bunso namin na si Ivan.

The kid became grown up into a fine young boy. Masyado ngalang siyang possessive pag dating sa hari at reyna. Iyon naman ang palagi kong ginagawa. Inaasar ko ito gamit si Aarti para pagtripan siya. Nasisiyahan ako tuwing nakikita ko itong nagpupuyos sa galit.

His angry face is the most favorite reaction from him. I love pinching his cheeks.

"Stop making fun of your brother. I couldn't afford to lose another garden."

"I can still bring them back, no worries."

He shake his head sligthly. "You never listen."
