Princess in Disguise (Completed)

Chapter 3: Send Away

Chapter 3: Send Away

Love. Love is something that none of the 7 billion people in the world can't explain. Sure there are some theories why it happened, but can't explain what every person feels and how it did just happen. Somehow, I couldn't understand that after all my parents face all the struggles to find the right person for me, finally they've met the right one.

Snickering at my pace right now, I don't know whether this is right or not. Yes, I've loved Philip. I surely do but I'm not sure if I'm ready for this marriage. I mean, he's twenty-three, I'm seventeen. There's a six years gap between us and I'm not even sure if Philip is ready to rule a country although he's already a general over a thousand soldiers when he's just twenty.

"Hey," I took a glance of Macey who's looking at me sympathetically.

I've smiled, she knows I'm not ready for this engagement. Although I'm not yet planned to have my marriage until I reached my twenties, but it feels like I'm gonna miss my teenage life even if I'm stuck as being a princess.

"So, true love, huh?" Macey started the conversation and I'm not even sure with my answers.

"I don't know if it's love or not Macey. Sometimes, I feel like there is someone waiting for me in the outside world."

"Who? Theo James? Don't be girl, she's in a love team with Shailene Woodley," I look a confuse. Why the hell Theo James? Sure I love him very much, I mean I am his number one fan and I vote for them. Divergent series are the best!

"Just kidding. Look who's having their proposal in an early age? You know, seventeen year old girls like you are having parties right now. Sad to say, they have early sex than planning to have marriage," Sarcastic to hear may be but it's the truth. Most teenagers today are experiencing their early happiness in beds.

"Macey, do you think I'm ready for this? I mean, it's my first time to be in love. Who knows, maybe this is just infatuation?" I've ask, not really sure on my question. The truth is, I'm afraid to be left heartbroken, just like any teenagers experience.

"I don't know Astrid. Besides, I don't trust that guy. He seems to have a demeanor, unpleasant attitude of being a badboy. I can smell it." She tossed me a look that makes me wanna believe.

"I thought you like him Macey?"

"Of course I support you but doesn't mean I like him, to be honest. He seems to break your heart or use you. Don't be fooled on his looks Astrid. You once said that."

I looked down. She's right, I do said it. But hey, maybe he'll be one of the greatest guy who makes every girls happy especially me.

"Astrid, just tell them if you're ready or not. There's always time for everything," she explained.

That's right. Time for everything. Sometimes, I'm not even sure of my feelings to Philip. I've just met him last two months and now, I'm getting my engagement tomorrow.

"You're right," Macey smiled and continued, " Now go meet your lover boy. Maybe he's outside, in the garden." Macey shooed me away. Jeez, great friend.

I ran downstairs and for the first time in years, I'm running down with a sneakers. Yeah, you heard it right. Sneakers. My parents started to let me wear what usually normal teenagers wear. More like spend the last days of being a teenager.
