Chasing my PRINCE

Flashback

Camilla Pov

I was sitting on the huge rock holding this book which was given by my mother as a gift for my birthday. I was so happy when I received it, I do not need to go the public library just to read fairytales, yes, I love reading fairytales. Sometimes, I wish I have a royal blood, I'm always dreaming of being princess, live in a beautiful castle, wear beautiful clothes, study in Royal school and find my prince charming like what happens in the princess in this book.

Though I've already finish this book, I still want to read it again and again. It is titled "The Poor Princess" this is really inspiring.

I decided to go home before the sun sets in. I'm walking in the road, carrying these bananas which I picked awhile ago from our little farm. It will be our dinner for tonight, I remember my father, we used to walk here going home together. I miss him so much, he's very hard working, kind and loving father. He died because of sickness, we don't have enough money to buy him his medicines and to send him in the hospital. I almost beg from the other people, crying infront of them and asking for help. But no one helped us, one night we found him in his room with no life. That was the saddest time in our lives, mother kept on crying each night, remembering my late father.

While crossing the road, a car swiftly appears and I run as fast as I can before it hits me. Thank God, I'm safe but the book! My book was thrown into the mud. I rush to get it but the pages were stained. My mother saved her money just to buy this for me. The car stopped and its door was opened. A beautiful woman wearing black dress and black hat stepped outside. I'm crying because of what happened to my book and it's her fault!

"Are you alright? I'm sorry I.." I turned my head to face her while she's talking, but she stopped. Her eyes are suddenly filled with tears. What happen to this woman? She held my arms quite tight and it scares me.

"Hya.. is that you?" She called me Hya. I lift one of my eyebrows and gave her an are-you-sick look.

"Are you calling me Hya for some reason? Excuse me madame but you've just ruin this book that my mother has given to me. And I almost die because of you. Sorry isn't enought. Pay for my book!" I fussed. She was astonished like she sees a ghost. I wave my hand infront of her face.

"Are you listening to me?" I inquired.

"Who are you?" she asked. Who I am? it's that really important? she could just pay then leave. This woman is quite weird, she's just staring at me all the time.

I open my palm on her, waiting for the payment in exchange of what she have done to me and to my book.

"Okay, I'm Camilla. Camilla Lopez, look what you did! you ruined my precious book, now, pay for it for 10 bucks"

"Camilla?" she open her bag made of golden silk and metal. She put 50 bucks on my hand and I was like! 50 bucks? for real? wow! This is too much.

"I said 10 bucks not 50. Just give me 10" she was surprised when I'm just asking for 10 and then she smile, her beautiful white teeth gave her an adorable smile.

"No, it's all yours and besides, I think that bananas belongs to you. It's just right to pay you more than 10 bucks. I hope you can accept my apology"

I'm not a bad human being for not accepting her apology, so I hug her immediately to express gratitude. She squirmed and was surprised but she hugged me back.

"I'm sorry if I hugged you. My smell is not that good. I.. I..."

"No it's okay. May I know your contact number? Maybe we could meet again" contact number? is that my age? or birthday?

"What's that?, well I'm 22 years old"

She giggle, what's funny?

"Anyway, here's my contact number. My name is Dolly Rushton" she handed me a card where her name was written and several digits of numbers were printed out.

"Fine! alright. Thanks for this money. It really helps, I need to go home now. Bye Dolly!"

I leave her standing on the road and I went to the bookstore before I proceed to our home, to buy a new book same on what my mother gave to me. After purchasing the book, I went to a store to buy can goods. My mother will be happy about this, when we have enough money, we buy can goods and it fulfills our starving stomach. Someday, I can bring her to a restaurant, that's why I need to work harder. I'll strive for us, I love her so much.

When I reached our home, I saw my mother swiping the leaves on our backyard because this trash leaves makes our ground untidy and could destroy our vegetable plants.

"Mother!" I called. I run towards her and kiss her cheek. I immediately handed her the plastic bag with can goods inside. She opened it and was surprised of what I have.

"Where did you get this?" ofcourse in the store.

"Mother! ofcourse I bought it. A woman's car almost hit me and I dropped my book on the mud. I asked for money so that I can buy new one since it's her fault then she gave me 50 bucks. She's so nice and mother, she's very beautiful and elegant. Her name is D-Dolly....uh Dolly Rushton!"

"Rushton?"
