Chapter 8 (Maisu's POV)

After Gadzhi had fallen asleep I took a shower to clean my hair of the cake. It was late at night, but I couldn't sleep.

I sat on my bed, I didn't know what to do. What had happened? Was it all real? I didn't know. I lied down and looked at the ceiling, then, I stood up and started going from the kitchen to my bed in circles. I tried to calm down, but I couldn't. I gave up.

"It is ridiculous, Maisu! You're acting paranoid again!"

"No, it is not, I'm acting like I should act. I cannot remember if what happened was real or not. It seems like a sweet dream."

"No, again. Maisu is paranoid! Maisu is paranoid, lalala!"

Now I was discussing with myself, great. I saw the sun rise from my window. I couldn't believe it. It was already morning. The first morning of the rest of my life.

"I think, today I'll just try to read what all the papers say." I planned.

I went to the kitchen and prepared some breakfast for Gadzhi, since I wasn't really hungry.

I went quietly to the sofa, where Gadzhi lied.

He was sleeping peacefully. His eyes were closed and he was smiling widely. My heartbeat accelerated.

"I love you, Gadzhi, I think, I'm in love with you" I whispered.

Then, I took once air, and let it out.
"MORNING GADZHI!" I shouted

He almost screamed.

"Oh MY GOD! MAISU! IT'S STILL MORNING!" He also shouted when he woke up.

"I thought they were going to kill me. I-I, don't know, you scared me!"

He yawned.

"I prepared breakfast." I proudly said.

Then, I kissed him. I kissed his lips softly and then broke apart and went doing small jumps to the kitchen.

He smiled. It was a smile from the bottom of his heart, then, he stood up and ran behind me.

He hugged me and swirled me around.

"I got you!" He said laughing.

I laughed as well. Then I took his hand and guided him to the kitchen.

I got hungry, my stomach roared, so I also ate with him.

I think that was the funniest, weirdest and sweetest morning of my life.

I went outside and sat on a bench in the park. I took all the books out and started reading them. Then I looked the book I had when I was found, and tried to understand what it said. It was impossible. The symbols were too strange.

I flipped the pages, and looked closer at one drawing. It was a girl. A young girl who seemed to look at you. She had a scarf around her neck, and dark hair. She smiled. Under it there was a heart.

I didn't notice that drawing before. Why, I didn't know.

I looked at all the papers and texts and after some hours, my head was hurting. I didn't advance the work.

I heard some voices, and looked to my right. It was Gadzhi with Carlos. They had both fishing roads and where laughing. I was shocked.

"What is this? I'm working here, trying to understand something which actually doesn't have anything from value to me, and he's like, slacking off?"

I stood up, left everything on the bench and run to Gadzhi.

Carlos went on, talking to himself.

I pushed Gadzhi back.

"Gadhzi, you, you leave me working for you, for your sake, for your village. It's actually YOUR problem, not mine, and then, I'm here, like working a lot, and you, what do you do? Go fishing. F-I-S-H-I-N-G!" I talked as fast as I could.

"Maisu, what the heck are you telling me? You know, it's like your idea to work. And it's like YOUR idea to go away in a week, and then do the funniest thing on this week.

And also, it's your problem to work so hard, for everyone." He snapped, then he went away.

"My problem, huh? MY PROBLEM? Let's see what will happen to this village if it is NOT my problem" I replied, but he had already left.

I fell on my knees and started crying. I tried to stand up, but I couldn't.
"Stupid. Stupid, stupid, stupid." I mumbled.

I heard someone running towards me. It was Monica.

"Maisu?" She asked.

I nodded and sobbed.

She hugged me.

"You helped me, now it's my turn to help you. Don't you think?" She said.

I nodded.

"What happened? Tell me." She begged.

"Monica, it's too hard to explain." I tried to say.

She hugged me more, then I stood up, took the things and Monica went along with me.

I entered my house and left the books and all that stuff on the bed, then I went out.

"I know what makes you happy!" She said. "Let's play! You're a prince and I'm a dog okay?"

" Monica, why a dog?" I asked.

"Because…well, then, I'm a fairy. Yes I'm a fairy."

"Okay, and now?" I asked.

"You're going to ask the princess out on a ball, and I'll say who the princess it."
"B-but. Monica, not.. It's not necessary."

"Yes, let me look for the princess. Wait here. Don't move, I'll still find you. I'm a fairy, remember?"

She ran away, moving her arms like if they were wings, and disappeared into the village.

I sighed and sobbed a bit more.

She came running.

Then she covered my eyes and said.
"You're not going to see her yet. You'll see then." She laughed.

"You may pass, princess" she said.

She guided my up the stairs into my own house, then she uncovered my eyes.

In front of me, there was Gadzhi.

He wore a dress, a mask imitating the ones from Venetia and had a lace in his hair.

I laughed.

"You may now dance, prince, princess" She said.

"How, how does she know?" I asked myself.

"Come on, DANCE! It's for today, okay? I'm waiting."

We didn't move, then she started to sing.

Gadzhi hugged me and whispered in my ear.

"I'm sorry, I'm really sorry I acted like that. I'm stupid for not appreciating my most precious treasure."

I wanted to kiss him, but not in front of Monica.

We danced a bit. Gadzhi stepped on my foot quite a lot, but I did it as well, then, we stopped.

"Now princess, you shall go to your kingdom." Monica said to Gadzhi.

"May I take my dress out, please! It's disturbing." He begged.

I laughed really hard.

"Yes, you shall do that. And prince, please! Be polite, don't laugh at your future bride." Monica said, really serious.

I blushed four shades of red. When Gadzhi took his mask out, I saw he was also blushing.

Then, he went away, but before he whispered,

"I'm coming back!"

When he was gone I talked to Monica.

"It was fun, Monica, thanks for cheering me up."

"No problem. Girly boy" She giggled.

She looked at her doll.

"Well, it's time for me to go. Goodbye, Prince. I shall spy more on you."
Then she ran away.

I stunned.
"WHAT DID YOU SAY!" I shouted at her, but she was already gone.
