A Long for a Fairy Tale



Once upon a time there lived a happy pretty little princess. Her parents and her two sisters love her so much. She loved them too. Just as she was growing up into a fair and lovely girl, her life suddenly turned grumpy. Her parents were too busy managing their kingdom while her sisters married two noblemen. Good thing she had a good friend who is with her always whenever she’s unhappy. One day, while she’s on her to way to their garden, she saw a wounded young man running toward her. She was terrified. Not knowing what to do, she ran away. But something was telling her to go back. She went toward him. She felt compassion for him. She put bandages on his wounds to prevent them from getting worse. The young men fell asleep and the princess left her. The next morning the girl went back to the garden hoping to see the young man alive. Unfortunately, the young man was no longer there. Then, one day while she was reading her favorite fairy tale, someone was throwing stones at her window. As she looked at the window, it was the wounded young man. Only that he was no longer wearing bandages. From then on, they became friends and fall in love with each other. Yet they have to hide their love for the princess was not allowed to love someone until she’ll turn eighteen. The young man was willing to wait. However, the princess who was scared of what will happen decided to end their relationship. It was a painful decision. But with her hope that everything will turn out well, she had successfully overcome it. Years have passed. So many things had happen. It was four months before the princess will have her graduation from a very prestigious university; she met a fine-looking prince. Little did she know that the prince was watching at her. One day, while she was just humming to herself and enjoying her every step when suddenly she accidentally bumped herself to a wall. The prince laughed hard and the princess who was ashamed of what had happen laughed too. That very first expression of amusement sparkled a new friendship. They became close. The princess started to like the prince. Months later, they became a good couple. The princess loved the prince so much. Yet, she managed to keep it. She was too busy with her career unaware of her prince’s feelings. Until one day, the prince told her of ending their relationship. It was unexpected. The princess cried and begged the prince to keep their relationship strong. Sadly, the prince insisted to left her. Feeling rejected and humiliated, she never went outside their kingdom and decided to lock herself on a tower. For a year, she never went out to be with her friends and family. Her friend did not give up on her. Until one day, she had convinced her to visit a friend who was very ill. The princess accompanied her friend. From that day on, she became happy again. She met new friends and get along with them. It was sunny afternoon when she received a message from the prince who left her without explanation. It was bittersweet. The prince asked another chance from her but because she was afraid of what will her life be with him again she agreed to marry a nobleman who had just courted her. With fired-up mood she agreed to tie a knot with a man that she does not even love. They we’re too young then. They’re bond was strengthened after they got married. However countless disputes between them started to weaken the knot which they solemnly vow to tie together forever. Getting married young was one of the external factors of their arguments. But the major factor was that the princess and the nobleman really don’t love each other—from the very start. The princess in her dismay decided to take the vow of silence forever. To her it was a false move. If only she could spell a cast on Time, then she would have save her own fairy tale. Anyway, not all fairy tales have a happy ending.
