FADED LIGHTS√

No 'good' in 'goodbye'

"I'm going to miss you princesa"
"Oh and so will I papa" I say, tears almost escaping and finding their way out of my eye

Papa dramatically turns with a bloomy smile on his face and says
"May I have this dance Rain black"
"Oh of course king charming" I say and we both let out a chuckle as we start dancing

All the Royals stop dancing and start starring at us like we are a piece of art that is yet to be unravelled

Before we know it, we are at the centre of the ball room and are surrounded by other royals

I love dancing because when I do, I feel free, I am able to express my emotion, be it a happy one or a sad one; and right now what I feel is mixed,
Its all just so complicated

As I dance, I feel as if I'm out of time, I feel like I just let go of all my problems, I fell happy and most of all, I feel like I could let love in

But sooner than later, what I 'feel' is broken into a thousand pieces when I see mother's eyes lit up with tears, I feel devastated

She is quick to shake it off and clean her tears, I mean, that's what Queen's do
They hide their sadness and always have a smile on their faces

*a minute later*

The music starts changing from sweet opera to a very horrible orchestra music

I guess I'm not the only one who has acknowledged this dreadful music when papa says

"This music can make thieves become philanthropists"
"Oh papa" I say giving him a stern look
"I speak the truth Bella,
It can make liars become plain-speaking and candid people"papa says

*silence*

"The contradictory music??" I ask papa
"No, CONTRADICTING music"
"Oh wow papa" I say laughing tremendously

"I speak the truth princesa" papa says
"If I must agree papa" I say

We keep on dancing under the moonlight and the fireworks that shoots so bright

Minutes later, DD and Sebastian join us at the centre of the ball room to dance... Ahhhhh, young love

Other royals start making their way to the centre of the ball room as opted

Papa looks at sad_beautiful mother all alone with some flash of emotion in his eyes

"Its okay now papa... Go dance with mother now will you"
"Gracias princesa" papa says while dropping a kiss on the top of my head

Seconds later, I see papa dropping a kiss on mothers glove... Her mood changes from sad to happy in a nanosecond... Is that even possible?? Oh well, as they say "love is a wonder"... Or as I say

" Um, here is getting really uncomfortable... Oh Dios mío" I say in an undertone

After some while, I start to make my way out of the ball room to the garden were I take refuge

I look up and see the beautiful sky
The cloud forms an image that looks like a baby gorilla riding a bicycle... Crazy much

I can't help but laugh my imagination

Minutes later, I decide to go back in for dinner, and so I do

"Oh my Lady, I was just about to call you for dinner" one of the maid says
"Okay Madame, I'm here now" I reply
"Please do have a sit" and so I did

"I start to get enchanted by the enchantress, or as they call it,food

Minutes later after devouring the yummy goodness, I make my way to my chamber to get some rest for a big day tomorrow shall be

•••

As I make my way to my chamber, I am greeted by the guards on patrol

I get to my room and my heart skips two beats when I see an image structure

I look closer and sign in solace when I notice the 'image structure' is mother

" Oh mother, you frightened me"
"Oh did I Bella??" Mother asks a rhetorical question
"Pardon me" mother says opening her hands wide for a hug which I don't hesitate to obtain

"Yes mother, its okay"
"So you're going tomorrow??"
"Well I guess I am mother"

She lets go of a breath and says
"Oh I'm gonna miss you"
"And I you, now mother, cheer up for it is for the best"
"Yes Belle" mother says with a smile on her face that I'm not sure if its genuine or forced

"Now go to sleep Bella" mother says
"Aye mother, I'll just take a shower now"
"And I'll excuse you now" she says dropping a kiss on my forehead

Oh, how I love my mother so much

"I love you mother"I say giving her a very tight hug that I'm afraid if I put just a little more effort, she'll end up choking
" and I you Bella" mother says and I let go of her

I call on two maidens at my door to have my ball gown removed after which I make my way to the bath tub

After having my bath, I dry my body and put on a congenial nightwear

I make my way to my extra_soft bed, just the way I like it

I love soft beds, and I made sure papa bought me an apartment with that in New York

I drift from real_land to dream_land while thinking of how tomorrow will be, I really am not looking forward to saying 'goodbye'

*next day*

Exactly 10:00am, there's a knock on my door that wakes me up

"Who's there please"
"It is I princesa" it must be papa
"Oh come on in"I say and the door opens, revealing...
