The Beginning
Under the light shade of the the lamp, there seems to be light coming out through the creak of the door with a warm , melodious tone ringing in the background.
".....in order to save his family he defeated the monsters with all his might and then the king and the queen along with their children lived happily ever after." The woman after finishing the story turns to see that Mimi her four year old daughter is still wide awake after listening to the story, with a curious look in her eyes.
"What is it, dear?" asked the women. "Mommy, can I ask you something?"enqired Mimi. "Is something wrong, bun?"asked the woman.
"Mommy, where is our king? " asked the 4-year old kid. "King?!" asked the woman confusingly.
"Uhu, since the two kids in the story are me and onii chan and you are our queen but where's our king? You know when Avila san was telling us the same story she asked us to write a short thank you note to the king in your home. Everyone was discussing excitingly, but I couldn't understand it. Even Avila san asked me that I don't have to write it. I felt bad ,you know. So, tell me mommy where is the king?said the kid in one breath."
The lady's eyes are filled with shocked but she quickly regained her original expression and the grew soft with a little bit of moist. "Aha the king ,didn't I said he went on a long business in order to protect us. He will come home soon once he finishes his business. " said that lady continuing " Oh my, look at the time ,now bun go to sleep you still have to go to school tomorrow. I will make your favorite pancakes for breakfast . Now go to sleep otherwise you are gonna miss it and your brother will eat all of it."
"No! my pancakes. Fine I am going to sleep. Good night mommy, love you. "said Mimi.
"Sweet dreams ,sweetie." said the lady with a relief that she managed to divert her attention from that topic. After that she closed the story book ,turned off the lamp and closed the door silently.
"Looks like I have to tell them the truth soon. I wish I never had to." she murmer under her breath . Then she when to check on her son's room to see whether he is asleep or not. There she saw her son Alex sleeping peaceful while her expression softening, thanking the God for sending these two angels in her life, otherwise she might not know what would have happened to her.
After tucking the blanket she went out of the room to the balcony . The mirror showing a delicate lady with a pair of beautiful hazel eyes shining under the moonlight which are usually quite serious while facing the world. Ashley Lu,23 a mother of twins ,works at MTY Corporation Ltd. , is a bright and gentle woman not bending in her front of challanges.
Seeing the full moon out of the window she recalled that it was also full moon on that fateful night which was the beginning of everything which she had never ever imagined.
