Modern Cinderella Story

Chapter 19 "Are you happy, Princess?"

Anika: AISHA, help ...SOFIA? Help me

Aisha ran inside Anika's room with widened eyes

Aisha: what? What? Ma'am? (and she looked around) MA'AM ARE YOU OKAY?

Anika got out of the "walk in closet" wearing a white cotton bathrobe and holding a pair of purple shoes in her hand!!

Anika: thank god you heard me, Shivaay is waiting for me for an hour now and I still don't know what to do with my hair or the shoes!! Not a single one fits me and I can't wear the college boots on the dress he wants me to wear... (Then she smiled) sorry if I startled you, I am so nervous; it's the first time we go out together!!

Aisha smiled: it's okay (then she smiled widely) you came to the right person, first let us find for you a pair of shoes that can fit, I am sure we will find something!!

And she entered the "walk in closet" and found many boxes of shoes, open on the floor beside the sitting in the middle of the closet

Anika: I tried everyone, they all so big

Aisha looked at the upper shelf near the celling

Aisha: I put some shoes here, have you tried them?

Anika looked up and shook her head with wide smile

Anika: I didn't know there is more shoes here, I need a year to finish this closet

And she pulled a ladder and climbed it!!

Aisha: be careful not to fall down dear; get down I will bring a maid to help

Anika: don't worry, Aunt Aisha, I will be careful (then she smiled) besides if something happened to me there is a great doctor in the house

Aisha frowned: god forbid it, if something happened to you this great doctor will kill me

Anika: take the boxes from me, aunt

And she gave Aisha a box after the other and Aisha put them down and as Anika got deeper in the huge shelf, she pulled a plastic bag and looked at it with curiosity as she descended the stairs while Aisha was busy opening the many boxes of shoes and looking at their sizes

Anika: what is that?

Aisha: what is what?!!!

And she turned and her eyes widened!!

Aisha: no don't open that!!

But Anika opened it and got out of it her old dress, she looked at Aisha with surprised widened eyes as Aisha covered her lips

Aisha: I swear I put it in this plastic bag and asked Mia to throw it in the trash, but the girl brain is in not in her head and in her phone instead (then she frowned) she must put in your room

Anika looked at her then got part of the dress out of the plastic bag and looked and touched the old fabric and the smudges of cinder for a moment then put it back inside the plastic bag

Aisha: I will throw it away; you never will see it again (then she frowned) I will tell Mr. Shivaay about that

And she rushed to the door angrily but Anika ran behind her and held her arm

Anika: wait Aisha, it's an honest mistake but Shivaay will not take it easily, he doesn't take anything that can slightly upset me easily

And she sat on the chair in front of her mirror and brushed her wet hair slowly

Aisha: then you are upset (Then she frowned) of course you are, I will kill her

Anika: no actually .... I was just surprised!! (then she looked at her) not for finding the dress here, no! I was surprised that I forgot it!! The fabric felt strange on my skin, I forgot how it feels as if I never wear it before, isn't that strange?
