No Trespassing

Start of the Long Trip

Camilla is on her way home from her trip when she pass by in something that captivated her interest.

"Wow! What a beautiful place.", Camilla exclaimed when she saw the huge array of flower beds with different kinds of flowers in it. It's in the middle of springtime and she can smell perfectly the fragrance of the flowers.

She was about to enter the place when she noticed the sign on the side saying, "NO TRESPASSING, PRIVATE PROPERTY."

"Tsk! How can they keep something as beautiful as this as private.", Camilla murmured to herself.

She was about to go when an idea pop up in her mind.

"Aha! It's a private property so they put the sign about trespassing and all. So does this mean that there's no one around?", she thought to herself and smiles wickedly.

Camilla is now standing in a gentle slope where she can have a better view of the paradise on the front of her. There are flowers everywhere different kinds, size, shape, features and color. The sun sets at the back of the flowers in which its reflection adds beauty to the scenery. Butterflies are flying from one flower to another. She can smell the perfect fragrance of the flowers that seems to never fade because of its quantity. Camilla seeing on how nature sets everything perfectly in front of her, smiles to herself and make herself savor the moment. It is one of the few times when she feels free and contented on things around her.

"I need to get a picture on this. This is just so perfect and this place is paradise." Camilla said excitedly while looking for her camera. While searching for her camera in her bag, a beautiful pale-yellow butterfly is flying over her face as if calling her attention. She gets fascinated instantly and she tries to hold it in her hand but it's fast enough that she isn't able to touch it.

"If I were a butterfly by now, then I will be overly crazy flying from one flower to the other consider this amount of flowers in here. But then again I think I would be happy too." she envision to herself while smiling sadly.

"What do you think you're doing here? And how did you step in in my property?" a voice boomed from Camilla's behind.

So she turns around immediately and saw a tall man standing a little distance away from her with a dark aura in his beautiful face.

Camilla started to be afraid knowing that the owner caught her and seeing his face at the moment makes Camilla beyond terrified. Events of what might happen to her inside this property just won't stop runnning inside her mind and it terrifies her to the bones.

"What if he's going to arrest me because of trespassing. Oh good Lord, I am a regardful citizen in my country and I don't have a bad record yet. It can ruin my good reputation and profession too. Or worst, what if he'll kill me right at this instant because I'm a trespasser and he might think that I am a threat to his property. And lucky me, he has every right to do that because I am invading what is his. How can I fight my defense?" Camilla is too carried away with her thoughts that she forgot about him, just until she hears his deep voice again.

"I am asking you miss, what the hell are you doing inside my property?!" he shouted.

Camilla flinched with his outburst and was about to answer him only to discover that she lost her voice. So instead she smiles at him a little. But then his face change from being angry to being furious that if only it is possible to see someone releasing smoke from his perfectly tall, straight nose, he would be doing that right now.

"Okay, okay, wait." she frantically said to him.

"Ahm, hi there." she said shyly to him and to relax her trembling muscles but then he frowns.

"Oh God, is there any other person who can change their expression faster than this gorgeous man I'm talking with", Camilla thought to herself.

Camilla looks down while explaining herself because of embarrasment and guilt that she felt inside that's eating her up.

"I'm sorry, I'm really am. It was not my intention to tresspass your property. It's just that when I pass by on my way home I saw this amazing place of yours. I just can't stop myself from stopping and checking the place. It just that your property has magic in it that it captivated the heart of-."

" Stop." Camilla stop explaining her side when she hears his voice again. When she looks up to see his face, she saw that he is intently looking at her as if his trying to solve a puzzle.

"Stop already okay. I don't need your explanation anymore. So just please go and disappear before Bardolph will be the one to kick you out from here." he said to her.

Camilla understands but she isn't able take a picture to the place yet. And she learns to love the place even for a short period of time.

"Ahm..." Camilla started shyly.

"I know I don't have the right to tell you this but if that Bardolph guy is your grandfather and he owns this place. Can I ask him a favor about me taking a picture of this beautiful place. You know his luck-." Camilla stop mid-sentence when she saw his face turns grim. So does this means that she said something wrong.

"Oh, I'm sorry, so Bardolph is not your grandfather I suppose. He is one of your bodyguards I think?"

"No?" Camilla asked after she saw his frown again.

"So it's a no I guess. He's not your grandfather nor your bodyguard. So who is he?" Camilla analyse to herself about who Bardolph really is.

"He is my-"

"Aha! He is the owner! Right, right, right?" Camilla exclaimed excitedly while giving him a big grin and a hopeful look that he might smile and agree to her analysis. But instead his face turns blank.

She never actually notice on how she cut him mid-track. She is still currently waiting for his reply when a loud voice like calling to someone caught her attention and make her turn around.

"Sancho! Sancho! Bardolph just won't stop barking. I think he senses that someone who's not from here is within your property."

Camilla saw the other man shouting while holding a Bull Mastiff breed of dog whose barking agressively and practically looking at her with that eagerness look in its face to attack her anyway possible.

"So that's Bardolph huh?", Camilla said more than to a whisper when she saw in awe the literally large dog in front of her.

"Oh, looks what we've got here Bardolph. Who's she Sancho?", the other man who just arrive ask confusedly the man whom I'm talking a while ago and whom I've discovered to have a name Sancho. He now have an almost invisible smirk in his face.

"I don't know. A trespasser I guess. By the way, if you want, you can let Bardolph chase her away from my property." he said to the other guy without giving a glance on me and started walking away from us.
