Chapter 8 : When the Clock Strikes Twelve

Naramdaman ko ang pag tagos ko sa border kaya't napatigil ako upang habulin ang hininga ko. Nakakapagod!

I looked around and saw nothing but the woods again. Nasaan kaya akong story book?

I looked at my clothes. Napanganga ako ng makita ang gutay gutay na kulay pink na dress. Halos lamigin ako sa suot ko. I walked and roamed my eyes around the dark forest. Nagulat ako ng mayroong maliit na kamay ang tila humawak sa paahan ko.

"Yikes!" I jumped when I saw two mouse on my feet.

Nabaling ang tingin ko sa buhok ko ng tila may humila roon. I saw two blue birds flying around me. Napangiti ako. I think I already knew where story am I.

Hinila ako ng dalawang daga at ng mga ibon papunta sa kung saan. We entered the forest and I saw a lady, wearing a blue coat. Naguluhan ako ng makita siya.

"Uhm... Hello?" I tried to get her attention.

Nang humarap ito saakin ay nanlaki ang mga mata ko ng makita ang isang babaeng puti ang buhok at tila matanda na ngunit napakaa-amo ng kaniyang mukha. I cant help but to gasped on because of her. She's so beautiful.

"Oh dear, what are you wearing?" She made a face after seeing my clothes. Ngumiwi ito at pinaikot ako. Naiilang ko iyong sinunod. It feels weird when someone is looking at your body. It made me feel uncomfortable.

"Uhh..." Nahihiya akong nag-angat ng tingin.

"A beautiful woman like you shouldn't wear clothes like this. It's a disaster, no, no, no." Umiling pa ito na tila ayaw talaga niya sa suot ko. E ano bang magagawa ko e ganito ang naging transformation mo pagkapasok ko sa librong ito?

"Come here, let me help you." Naglahad ito ng kamay niya saakin. Without hesitating, I took her hands but she pulled me. Napaikot ako dahil sa ginawa niya. I thought I'll land on the ground but something seemed prevent me from landing.

Napamulat ako at nakitang tila may hanging bumubuhat saakin. Nanlaki ang mga mata ko sa tuwa at gulat. Then, I heard a rolling sound. Before I could know what is it, A pumpkin rolled down to the lady's front.

"S-Sino ka?" Kusa na lamang iyong lumabas sa bibig ko.

"Fairy godmother, at your service." She slightly bowed and pulled something on her sleeves.

Nanlaki muli ang mga mata ko ng makitang isang wand iyon. Ikinumpas niya iyon at nagsimula ng lumaki ang pumpkin na nasa harapan niya. I lost my words. Namangha na lamang ako ng maging isang engrandeng karwahe ang kanina lamang ay kalabasa. Then she looked aroung, tila may hinahanap. Her eyes drifted to the little animals on my feet and her eyes widened.

Muli niyang ikinumpas ang kaniyang wand at kasabay noon ang paglutang ng dalawang daga. As much as they wanted to reach me, hindi nila magawa dahil sa mahikang bumubuhat sa kanila. I giggled when the fairy godmother is having a hard time carrying the little fat mouse.

She then turned them into a horse which startled me. Napanganga ako habang pinagmasmasdan ang nangyayari sa harapan ko. Then two lizards came on our way and the fairy godmother noticed it and on a one sway of her wand, the lizards became a human, or so called.

"As you please," The fairy godmother looked at me and gestured me to enter the carriage she built.

"Oh my sparkles," Aakyat na sana ako ng marinig ko ang tinig niya.

"How could I forget the dress m'lady?" She dramatically swayed her wand and I felt an air pushing me. The air made me swirl as I felt the changing in my body.
