Dawn Of The Midnight.

AND THE DESTINY BEGINS.

The days had passed swiftly. Stella the baby in the basket is now almost sixteen year old good, cheerful, caring and hardworking girl. Although, Mrs. Squeezer makes her life miserable almost everyday by blaming Stella for the fire in orphanage the day she appeared but the love and care of Stiffiny never let her fall. Somehow Stiffiny managed to make Stella went to School because she wanted to educate her.She is a good student at highschool too and loves botany. Stella gets a very scarce time for learning but still she gets a remarkable progress in her studies and never let the struggle of Stiffiny waste. She rise daily with a new spirit and hoping for a brighter future!!!

"Run baby run, its time to rise and shine!" Hmm.. Hm..

Lalala..lala

"The birds are chirping so should you! Say hye to the sky! Cuz moon will come very soon!"

The room was filled with a new brightness and joy as a beautiful morning song was flowing, making the morning a true good morning to me.

"Come on dear Stella" a soft voice called me out of my dreamland. It was Stiffiny singing the usual morning poem with her adorable voice which was as sweet as a Nightingale.

" OKAY OKAY! I am up!" I shouted with a laugh as I was being tikkled by a strip of my own golden hair into one of my ear.

I was used to this way of waking up as it was a trick that Stiff always use when I refuse to agree that its morning already!

After getting the warm morning hug by Stiffiny I ran towards bathroom as the old wicked lady from downstairs had already started shouting for breakfast.

Although, I am almost sixteen but Stiffiny never let go the way she treated me when I was six. I don't feel any problem with that because anyway I don't wanna grow up as I already have much burden on my little shoulders than a sixteen year girl should have.

I am not complaining because whatever I have is okay. I wake up early. Serve the children of the orphanage with Stiffiny.Word hard in school with studies And.. And my life ends.. But still I am happy because I have someone who love me with full heart and also everything for me too. That is Stiffiny, I remember her as my earliest memory. She always loved me as much as I think even my real mother couldn't. She never let me fall and whenever I do something wrong I know she is beside me to support. She used to take everything on her when I mess up with anything and suffers the punishments and scolding of cruel Mrs.Squeezer.

"Ahh.. at least I don't have a terrifying evil step mother or really ugly step sisters.." Stella chuckled to herself while putting quickly her long golden hairs in a messy bun and running downstairs.
The running was more like a ride as the side handle rod of stairs was now used to bare the weight of the tinkering and always cheerful lady Stella and her swinging on it.

She rushed into the kitchen where Stiffiny was already frying the eggs and goldening the bread pieces.

The kitchen was a small quarter with wooden cabinets and a junk like sink. But there were decorative flowers and paintings on wall along the shelves which was beautifully hiding its wreckness.

" Hey there! Young Lady!" Stiffiny warned me as she had already seen me stealing the fresh apple pie cupcake.

It was just the last step of mine when she just caught me as usual and I started to make lame excuses as usual too..

" No Stiff.. No.. Believe me! This poor baby cupcake first tried to convince me and begged to me 'SAVE ME STELLA SAVE ME FROM THOSE ARTIFICIAL DEADLY TEETHS OF THE SQUEEZING SQUEEZER.Aaa...!!!'"

Stella was narrating dramatically everything with various idiot voices and was making funny faces to lighten the condition.

Stiffiny shushed her while her face still towards the frying pen" Haven't I taught you to respect your elders, young lady?"

I revised all the lessons of respecting elders and loving youngers and all that blah blah...! But I was not in that mood at all.

Stiffiny turned the stove off while moving to Stella. She said with a small side smile,
" Secondly keep your voice down or you will be in place of your baby cupcake, dear!"

Stella giggled a little on imagining being chewed by Mrs.Squeezer but then gave the usual 'damn care' expression by waving her hands.

Stiffiny was looking right at me just as for more stupid explanations. So I started again.

Stella raised her right hand and placed it on her forehead just like a drama queen " You know Stiff when I refused baby cupcake's request just for you"

Stiffiny raised her eyebrow as she was asking why for me???

" so that you wont be ashamed of all my mess.. It tried to kill me!!!"

Stiffiny rolled her eyes to show a little anger but the kindness and smile was just inescapable. She asked in confusion " the cupcape tried to kill you, but how dear?" The signs of smile were still on her red cheeks.

" that's it, how could it kill me?" I told myself that Stella its the lamest excuse ever!!!

" Actually it tried to kill me by its apple pie jam's delicious smell!!!" I yelled.

Stiffiny looked at me in amazement then moved a few steps forward with a serious face.

While I was looking for a way to run away Stiffiny raised a hand at me and on the other minute the whole cupcake was in my mouth.

" Don't act so silly for a cupcake my little drama baby" Stiffiny said with the eyes full of kindness which always give me the true clue of a mother's love. She kissed me lightly on my left cheek while leaving and reminded me to bring the remaining breakfast tray to the table.

Stiffiny had left the kitchen but the touching affection made a tear arise in Stella's eye as she was missing her real parents that day so much.

Stella brushed the tear away pick the tray and shouted in her cheery tone " Aye Aye captain"

The day went as usual. Stella cleaned the orphanage. Brooming, moping, dishes, cloths and everything. When the night came she went to the roof as soon as possible as the place brings the only peace to her. She looked at the stars for hoping some explanations but they were as quiet as a rock. She loved the time as it was her only source of escape.

My tired heavy eyes dropped close when Stiffiny came and let me down to my bed. As I got my good night kiss I went to sleep with a hope to rise and shine my fate as tomorrow is a special day.
