Princess Amirah is a 9 years old little girl .She is  vigorous,  clever, and a tactful kid in north palace .

" Friend Gia!". Masiglang bati ng isang magandang bata. She's wearing an old fashion dress but a beautiful one.

"Princess Amirah! Anong ginagawa mo dito?". Masayang bati ni gia  while cleaning the windows. She chuckled when she saw the princess pouted.

"Do you need help Friend gia?". Tumaas ang kilay ni gia sa sinabi ng prinsesa.

She chuckled and asked the little girl. "How much your service?".

"Uhm its only 5 coppers". Princess Amirah said with her wryly smile.

"Do you need money so that you volunter yourself to help hmm.?"malambing na tanong nito sa prinsesa.

She cheerfully nooded with her puppy eyes . "So Can i help friend Gia? I mean i want to work to earn money".

Gia chuckle and tap her hair.

"Alam mo kasi princess Amirah ,magkaiba ang pagtulong sa pagtatrabaho.Ang pagtulong walang hinihinging kapalit pero ang pagtatrabaho kailangang humingi ng kapalit like money". Pagpapaliwanag nito sa prinsesa.

Princess Amirah pouted. "Pero wala nang libre ngayon friend Gia. ".

"Your right but you need to say 'I want to work ' than  'You need help?' so that people know that you want to earn money ".

"Okay friend gia,So do you have any work that i can help with?".

Gia smile . "Hmm How about to wash clothes?Do you want that work?"

"Ofcourse!". princess exclaimed and clapped her hands like a ecstatic kid.

"Wash them clearly okay?". Princess Amirah nooded and carry the small basin to put the clothes.

"As always" princess giggle and excited to run to start washing .
Gia shake her head and smile to the little girl running while carrying the small basin.

She knew the princess very well. She was the maid who care and love the sweet girl. The palace maid and even the servant of the royal family never treat the princess unfairly and nothing .  

They treated her like a family.

Princess Amirah is a bright kid and energetic . She has  confidence you rarely see with the other unwanted kid. and she really grateful for that.

---

WALANG Kapaguran si princess Amirah sa lahat ng ginagawa nya. She even fix the broken things and help to decorate . Well when we say 'help' it means 'money' such a bright kid isn't she?

"What do you want to eat princess?". Tanong ni esmeralda . Esmeralda is a chef and one of the woman that have care for her.

"You dont need to do that friend esmeralda. I can take care of myself just fine". princess amirah sigh and look at her.

"But i want to serve you.Your a princess after all" . Esmeralda shrugged her shoulder and started to slite the ingredients.

"But my title is nothing and I am one of the 'unwanted' princess- "

"-But for me your title is 'everything' and you look like a princess that everyone need to serve "Esmeralda cut her sentence .

"Wala naman akong pakialam sa pagiging prinsesa ko e' . As long as you here with me and friend gia also . Wala na akong mahihiling pa. "

Napangiti na lamang si esmeralda sa pagiging sweet at mabait ni princess amirah. Well as long as nandito din si princess amirah sa kanila ,ipaparamdam nya na napakaimportante nito at mahal na mahal nya ito.

---
"WHERE are you going today princess amirah?". Tanong ni esmeralda habang inililigpit ang pinagkainan nila . Bumaba si amirah mula sa pagkakaupo at tumingin kay esmeralda.

"Work". Esmeralda look at the princess with her 'questioning look'.

"What do you mean by 'work'?".

" I need to earn money for my business". Esmeralda was shock to her response.

"Business? what kind of?".

"Food business. Kailangan ko ng pera kaya gagawa ako ng mapagkakakitaan ko ".

"Do you need help for your upcoming business?".  saad ni esmeralda. Princess amirah shook her head to her response.

"By the way friend esmeralda aalis na ako . Hinihintay na ako ni friend gia para sa trabaho ko ". 

"Sige mag iingat ka mahal na prinsesa" Esmeralda bow her head to sign of her respect. Umiling na lamang si princess amirah sa ginawa ni Esmeralda.

Hindi naman nila kailangan pang magbigay galang sa kanya. Ayos na sakanya na tawagin syang prinsesa kasi  sign of respect na din naman yon para sa kanya at saka isa lamang syang unwanted princess na hindi na dapat pinag tutuunan ng pansin. Kaya nga sya nandito sa north palace .

Bukod sa unwanted princess sya , isa lamang concubine ang ina nya . Wala namang pakialam ang ina nya sa kanya bukod sa isa itong concubine ay disappoint din ito sakanya  kasi isa syang prinsesa at hindi prinsipe.

Hindi rin naman sya kilala ng ama nya dahil hindi nito pinagtutuunan ng pansin ang mga katulad nyang 'unwanted child'. Pero anak din nya naman ako diba? Well wala naman akong aasahan pa sa kanila. So i need to earn money to survive.

---
Nang makarating si princess amirah ay agad syang sinalubong ni Gia .

"Princess Amirah". Gia bow her head to respect the princess.

"No need to bow friend gia  . It just me you know". Napailing iling  si amirah dahil sa pagbibigay galang ni gia katulad ni esmeralda sakanya. Why they want to respect me even im one of the unwanted princess? My title is nothing!

Hindi na lang pinansin ni gia ang sinabi ni amirah bagkus ay tinanong nya ito. "How are you today Princess?".

"Im fine but a little bit boring . Pero ayos lang yun may trabaho namang naghihintay saakin dito . By the way what i gonna do today?What available work today friend gia?".

"Well still the same princess your work is to wash clothes".Sagot naman ni gia na nakangiti.

"Okay friend gia!" Masiglang saad ni princess Amirah.  

"Where's the clothes that i needed to wash?". dagdag na tanong ng prinsesa kaya tinuro ni Gia kung nasaan iyon.

"Be careful princess okay? And after that you need to rest, your still a kid that need to sleep ". Princess pouted but still nooded. Napailing na lamang si Gia dahil sa kacutetan ng prinsesa.

Hindi rin naman nagtagal ay agad natapos ang prinsesa sa ginagawa at tumakbo sa kinaruruunan ni Gia.

Sinaway ito ni Gia "Be careful princess baka madulas ka"

Nang makarating ito sa kinaruruunan ni gia ay agad nitong inilahad ang palad.

"Friend Gia can i have my money now?"Cute na saad nito na syang kinatawa ni gia.

"Bakit ba atat na atat kang bigyan na kita ng pera?May bibilhin kaba?"

"Yes friend gia"

"Nagsabi ka sana  kanina saakin edi sana binigyan kitang pambili ng kung ano man gusto mo" pangangaral nito na syang kinanguso ng prinsesa.

"I dont want to ask for money. I want to earn it"

"Ikaw talaga!hintayin mo ako dito at kukuha lang ako "Tumango ang prinsesa at masayang pumalakpak.

Nang bumalik si Gia ay agad na binigay sakanya ang pera.

"This is too much friend gia"

"Its okay princess just take it"

"Thank you friend gia" saad ng prinsesa at masayang tumakbo paalis.

Napailing na lamang si Gia sa prinsesa.
