"In every romance, one heart must break". But what if love becomes complicated and it involves more than two people that would surely be hurt in the end? What if time comes that you will go to choose among them in an unexpected time and place? Who will it be? Would you rather choose friendship over relationship? Or is it relationship rather than friendship"
When I was a child, I always want to hear bedtime stories before sleeping. I really like how my Mom introduced me to the world of fantasy wherein many impossible things can be possible. I was really amazed how the life of a certain person changed the way it was from being a slave and end up being a princess. There could be a variation about the character and its attitudes and lifestyle but it always end up in this way..
And they lived happily ever after....
Are our stories really ended up with a happily-ever-after just like in a fairytale? If you are born with an exceptional beauty does it mean that you can achieve a happy ever after ending? Prince charming is always served as the prize in the end. There can be many princesses in the story but it always end up with a prince that's what they call "meant-to-be".
I grew up with a thought of having an ideal prince. I was really waiting for him to come. I've always been excited every single day that comes by. There are many things that happen in just a day. I keep on waiting but it seems like it was not a perfect time.
Until I become a typical teenage girl, who slowly confused about the world around me. I can't control myself in asking so many things about that happy ending. Out of curiosity I formulate many questions and started to doubt that fairytales is really opposite to what I am facing right now.
"Isn't it ironic that your name is Cinderella. What differs is that you have a wealthy family which is a bit oppose to our favorite story" said Cassey, my bestfriend.
I was really quiet the whole time. It seems like what she says is right. All of my classmates excluding me, have boyfriends and girlfriends in life. What Cassey said made me upset even if it was just a joke. I don't know if she's just teasing me or what. That was the time that I started doubting about the so called happy ending and prince charming to be surreal.
I graduated in college being single. I never care those people who said unpleasant words to me. It's not that I give up in believing for my happy ending but I just want to accept the fact that perfect time always awaits.
When I started working in the company, I met this naughty jerk named Steven who keeps on pestering my day. He always teasing me with some corny jokes which make my blood reaches its boiling point. The day we knew each other is the worst day of my life. As the days passed by, I was about to know the real him. He was a product of a broken family. He lived with his Mom together with his grandfather and grandmother. He told jokes during free time. The way he does when he's inside the company is opposite to what he act at home. I can't even imagine how I can act with two different personalities. I know how hard it is and from that, we became friends.
I can't forget how happy he was as if he won a lottery. He invites me with some coffee near front of the company we are working on.
"This is the best day of my life" he whispered as if I didn't heard it
"Are you okay? You seem so weird today" I laughed at him
"Fairytales cannot be seen for real but maybe in some other ways" his statement made me confused. I really don't have any idea what he's trying to say.
"Do you believe in fairytales?" I asked him
"Kind of" he answered in confused
We openly talked with each other's problem. I never thought that the man in front of me now is as weak as I am. He almost cried in front of me. I just tapped his shoulder as if I can ease the pain he had.
