The Curse Of A Certain Star

CHAPTER 1 ✨ DREAMS

White fine sand along with the foamy crystalized waves coming through the shore. Walking alone can be quite relaxing especially when you have been waiting for the beautiful sunset. Sunset made me realize that endings can be beautiful too. Perhaps, after that beautiful endings, there will be another precious thing that we should appreciate, and it's the wonderful stars.

As the waves continuously touch my bare feet, I enjoyed walking slowly at the shore. It is actually relaxing when you finally figured out how to have your 'alone time' as you reflect within yourself. I got used to having myself as my own companion as well. Maybe because I am an only child so I was accustomed to be alone most of the time.

Silence can be observed as I walk along, even the coldness of the wind which gently grazes my skin soothed me. Then all of a sudden I felt a soft, warm hands covered my entire eyes, causing me to stop walking. I could smell the masculine scent of the person who covered my eyes from behind.

"Who are you?" I curiously asked softly. He chuckled behind me and that made me more curious.

"I am your Prince Charming, my Princess." He answered with his deep manly voice as he uncovered my eyes.

I quickly faced him to figure out who he was but I came in dismay when I saw his blurry figure. I can't even recognize his face clearly. I kept on staring at him, hoping that his figure will be eventually clear but it didn't change even a bit.

"Here's what you're waiting for, look at the sunset. It's beautiful, isn't it?" He faced me while asking that question, and as far as I know, he is smiling towards me.

"Yes, indeed. it's beautiful." I agreed while enjoying the awesome view of the sunset. Not bothering that I have been talking with a complete stranger beside me.

"Beautiful just like you, my Princess." He keeps on looking towards me while saying those words to me.

Our eyes gazed at each other when I looked at his direction. Staring at his blurry figure made me wonder what's his real identity and why does he keep on calling me Princess? That's not even my name or whatsoever.

"Do you by any chance know me? Because to be honest, I don't know you, Mister." I honestly uttered to him as I keep on wondering about this guy.

"I am your Prince Charming, my Princess." For the second time around he answered my question with the same answer earlier. I disappointedly break my stare away from him.

As the sun goes down and as the stars show up in the sky, he slowly came near me while looking straight into my eyes.

"I can't wait to see you again, my Princess. Fino alla prossima volta, mia Principessa." [Until then, my Princess.] He was about to hold my hands when he abruptly starts to fade like he was blown away by the wind and washed away by the waves.

I didn't even have the chance to ask his real name. I didn't have the chance to hold his hands even for a while. I became confused when I realized that even the sun seems like fading away.

Then all of a sudden everything went black...

I quickly opened my eyes just to see myself in my own bedroom, still laying on my bed. Geez! It was all a dream! How come? Who was that guy? Most and foremost why is he in my dream?! Different questions started to bother my mind. Did I just woke up this morning to fill my mind a lot of tiring questions with undiscoverable answers! That's a no-no!
