Chapter 3
Krrrnnnggggg. Oh my God my alarm clock. That dream again! It seems it has a continuation every night. Why I feel I really been there? Carla asked herself silently.
Carla is eating her breakfast while her mother is busy doing the house chores. Carla's mother is a single parent. She didn't know her father. Every time she asked her she said that he left them before she was born. Her mother owned a store in the nearby market and it is doing well so they are financially stable.
Mom can I asked you a question? Carla said. Do I look like my father? Why my complexion is white while you have a brown complexion? Is he a foreigner, in what country? She continue asking.
Oh my dear you have many questions her mother said. "Well I think he has a Spanish blood because he said he came from Spain when I met him. I never met your grand parents because your father is just a stranger in our town. He is an exchange student when I fall in love with him. He is very handsome and I'm just a normal lady. Since I'm madly in love with him I easily gave in. He knew that I am pregnant so he planned to go back to Spain to tell his parents about me but he never returned. He just vanished, I didn't know his family so I have no one to ask what happened to him. I thought first that he really planned to leave me but I head that there's a rumor that he was murdered by somebody who got envy with him and threw somewhere. To avoid the scandal, my parents hide me and then permanently left our home town to live here that is why we have no other relatives here".
Do you have a picture of him? asked Carla. "Oh I think I have his one and only photo. I put it at the bottom of my jewelry box but that will be later I need to go to the store early and you will be late too. Okay bye honey" Uhmmm one more thing please rub your shoes in the door mat because your room is full of mud recently" her mother.
At the school - Liza and Carla are sitting under a tree. It's vacant time so they are in their favorite spot. Liza, did you remember about my question in sleep walking? asked Carla. "Uhum what about it ? It's Liza. "I think I'm doing it now. It happened just last week and every night I have a dream that I am wandering in an enchanted place with king, queen, and prince. I feel I am a princess there. Every morning I will see my room surrounded with mud so as my feet so I think I'm going outside during my sleep. I'm getting worried and I want to tell my mother" It's Carla.
Well if that's really happening you have to tell her immediately maybe you will consult an expert about that, Liza said. Later I will tell her because she was busy this week due to big demands in her store and busy with the preparation of my upcoming debut. By the way we have to go the dress maker for our gown fitting this coming week end, Carla said.
After school Carla went home. Her mother is not yet arrive so she go to her bed room to look for her mother's jewelry box. Where is that picture? Mom said it is at the bottom of the jewelry box. Ahh there you are! Carla took the picture and she was shocked when she saw her father's face. I think he is the king I saw in the enchanted palace in my dream, how can that be? The old lady queen said he is my father. Oh my is this really happening? Carla asked her self.
