Chasing my PRINCE

Visit

Camilla's POV

Everything happened last night was awesome! it ended with so much fulfillment and happiness with Charlie and his family. Various of overwhelming compliments tickled my eardrums and lifted me up like I was floating on a cloud nine. They loved the song as much as I do, probably because not all people know their selves already, somehow the hidden personalities inside them wants to be free in a way that everyone can accept whoever and whatever they are and that's what I aim.

I can't also forget our kiss, yes, Charlie kissed me again. If I can only throw my head on the concrete wall that time, I think I've already did several times. I respond with those unforgettable kisses from his red kissable soft lips and that's the sweetest mistake I ever did in my entire life. His husky voice when he whispered those words on my ears "I love you more than yesterday" gosh, it drives my little witty head more crazy. I want.. I want to tell him the truth but it will ruin my plans. I'll just consider that moment as a beautiful nightmare which only exist in my imaginations, just like fairytales, it will never come true.

Aunt Dolly and I talked about my visit in St. Luis village, my town. I only have six hours stay and I need to go back here before the sun set. The storage of this mansion is filled with various ingredients and food including bread and goods. I packed some of it before I left going to our village. Aunt Dolly gave me a ride up to the bus terminal, she prevented my body guards on following me. Covering my head with a purple piece of clothe is the best way for now, only my eyes are visible, they shouldn't know where I'm going.

The bus passed by the wet market in our village, everyone is busy as usual, living in the big mansion for few weeks made me realize the vast divergence of life between rich and poor people. I take a glance of a woman walking at the side of the street.

"Mother? Please stop the bus!" I run as fast as I could. My desire to see my mother's face again is beyond the atmosphere of the earth. I'm longing for her voice and embrace.

"Mother!" I shouted, as I came down from the bus. She was astound from my loud shattering voice, her basket full of string beans and tomato was dropped on the soil as she rush towards me.

"Camilla! my daughter!" We shed much of tears, I miss her.

*****

While sipping the organic green tea made by her, I tell so many stories about the Rushtons, about my life in the mansion, my music lessons, the Royal Academy, my new friends and my biological parents. When I mentioned Olivia, I notice the sudden sadness on her eyes.

"Mother, no matter what happens, you're still my mother. But I also love Leo and Olivia, they're kind and caring and I'm lucky to have them and of course you, who loves me unconditionally" I mutters, placing down the tea cup on the wooden table infront of me.

"But they don't know who you really are" she respond, and that weakened my muscles all over my body. My mother is right, they know me as Hya, what if they won't accept me as Camilla when I tell them the truth.

"Milla! Milla!!" Ingrid is calling me, I came out of our house immediately to see her.

She covers her mouth with her hands, glaring at me from head to toe.

"Oh my.. Camilla! you look like a princess" she blurt out. Do I really look like a princess with this apparel? I'm just wearing a black pleated skirt, turtle-neck white long sleeves, pink furred coat and black booths. This is not the typical suit of a princess.

"I miss you friend!" I yell. We hug each other and went inside our house. My mother cooked fried cassava sticks which is our all time favorite snack. I open my bag which contains stuff I brought for Mum and Ingrid.

"Mother, this is for you" I handed her a green bag which has can goods, fruits, vitamins and clothes inside.

"You don't have to give me this things Milla" she utter. That's the only idea I thought to make her happy but it seems like she's not glad of what I did.

"It's okay mother, uh.. Ingrid, here's your sneakers. Thank you for lending me and this is for you" I handed her a yellow bag which contains dresses, shoes, bags and books.

"OMG! These are all mine?" her face full of delight and excitement throws happiness in my heart. She deserves all those gifts, she's a very good friend and sister to me.

Ingrid and I sit under the huge oak tree beside our house, we sat on the swing which hangs there, it is made of rice grain sack, each end is tied with thick solid rope. My late father made this when I was fifteen, I love climbing trees though it's quite dangerous that's why he made this thing. Ingrid starts inquiring regarding my experience as Hya. I told her everything, I mention Charlie.

"What?! you're falling for your twin's fiancé?"

"Sshh!! lower your voice, mother will hear you" I whisper.

"I'm sorry, But you know what Camilla, I think that's just fine. You sister is dead, so you can't call it cheating" she blabbed. I know, but there's always a big BUT and a big WHAT IF on my head.

"But I'm not Hya, I'm not her real girlfriend. What if he finds out the truth? what if he gets mad of me and hates me?"

I have so many worries because I care, because I think I like him but not to the point that I'm inlove with him. There's a big difference between the word like and love, though it has few similarities.

"I don't know Milla, but you can't dictate your heart. It's on you. So what's your plan now? you know, the wedding" she said.

Yeah! the wedding! it makes my head aches. I still don't know what to do, I just have three weeks.

"After our graduation.. I-I will tell him to cancel our wedding"
