Chapter 2
“My lady! My lady!”
“Wake up my lady!”
“Today is a very important day for you. You can’t be late.”
A voice called for me over and over with someone’s hand gently patting my shoulder.
“Hmm… Who is it? Emily? What day is it? I spoke with weary eyes. I slept a really deep sleep.
“My lady you're joking right? How can you forget about your own coming of age ceremony ?
“Oh yes!” How can I forget about it. Aunt is holding a ball for me and tortured me to try gowns and jewellery a whole week beforehand. If I am late today, she just won’t let me be.
I sprang to my feet while Emily and Mary grabbed me and dragged me to the lavatory.
…
I sat at one place while they did there thing. I remembered the dream I had today. Again, I dreamt about my past self from two years ago. That dream was so fulfilling that for once I didn’t even want to wake up.
But nothing remains constant. Now everything is very different than how it used to be. Everything has changed, especially me. Although I have to admit that change did bring some good as well.
A sudden thought of him popped into mind out of nowhere but I shook my head and went with my schedule.
…
It took me a lot of time to get ready. Breakfast and lunch were brought to my room on which I almost choked, due to eating within minutes as Emily and Mary were still working on my gown and hairstyle. I can’t even remember just what have I gone through since this morning.
I am already exhausted. God knows if I’ll make it from the ball room alive? But I can at least do this much before leaving. For Aunt…and uncle…and my family. It's my way of repaying. A pleasant memory. A goodbye. The ball. Now that I think about it the ball would start at night, of course, after all it is to congratulate me as soon as I step into my birthday. Although the ceremony was supposed to take place a year ago, mine was delayed becau_
“It’s done my lady.”
“Oh…”
After all the things that I have suffered today, the result was worth it.
I got mesmerized by my own reflection as I stared in the mirror for so long until Emily called out for me. Is it really me?
It seems I am no longer used to it anymore. My waist length raven hair let down with pearls clipping accompanied by a lavender gown circling an area of arm’s length; it swayed beautifully as I spun. Aunt’s gem necklace hanged from my neck.
After thanking Emily and Mary, I went down outside the ball room where my family was waiting.
Family…
Sounds familiar yet strange.
“Cynthia! You're here. You look gorgeous. Now here, let me put this on for you.”
