Chapter 2
Zaffira winter's POV
Even when life is really boring. With each day that passes, it passes and so on. It's so boring, it's like we're just waiting for death to come. It's like we're just waiting for death to come.
My life is really boring especially and I am the only one here at home. My parents died in a car accident. E because I didn't see their corpses. I was just 11 years old back then.
We have no other relatives. So when they died nothing happened, those who saw it just buried it in the ground. I was young back then and I didn't know what to do. I don't know but I didn't cry or even mourn their loss.
I feel like I'm not lost. Everything seems normal.
I knew that I was not their real child and that I was just adopted.
They did not keep it a secret from me and they accepted me, considered me a real child. I love them too but I don't know why I just don't care about their deaths.
Those who adopted me are rich. So when I was a child, they transferred their property to my name. They left me all the money they had worked so hard for years.
So when they die it will still not be difficult for me to live alone because I have no relatives to help me.
Their money is my only hope to survive and wake up with each passing day. Even so, I didn't waste that money. I use that in a good way.
So now here I am stepping into college even though I am an orphan.
Very sleepy listening to our history teacher. And why is the subject of reincarnation included here in history !? It's just fiction! Haist! Not really ma'am. He also likes to watch fantasy movies. Signs.
I looked in front of me and I knew that ma'am couldn't see me because the body in front of me was too big, so I sank down on my desk and didn't listen to ma'am who was just swallowing saliva.
"Hey" the person I didn't know shook me.
"Hmm"
I woke up as she shook me and stretched.
I looked around but there was nothing else. Sen and Mika are the only ones left here, my classmates too.
"Did you hear what ma'am said earlier?"
Raised an eyebrow Mika said, he was holding a book. He's not rude and I'm not the type of person to be bullied here at university.
I'm just one of those people who is invisible to everyone but sometimes also noticed, but not to quarrel. Just greet or smile.
No one is trying to approach me to bully. Just men who pay attention and want to flirt yes.
"Huh? What did you say?"
I asked in surprise because I hadn't really listened.
E when I slept eh. What do I know don?
"Haist! I told you I didn't listen to that before!" Ungot ni Sen.
He was one of those men who noticed me but I ignored him. But now it looks like someone else has typed. So he stopped staring at me in all the subjects I had with my classmates. I know the woman. Micah.
Mika stared at him so he couldn't speak anymore to complain.
Mika pulled me to my feet and left the room.
"Come on! Let's start now so we can finish early. The deadline is said to be Friday." Mika promised as I pulled away.
Napakunot ako.
Start?
I had no idea what she was saying. Sen must have noticed the confusion on my face so he spoke.
"We did groupings earlier for our report on Friday and now you probably know who your groupmates are."
Since Mika pulled me earlier, she let me go so she was ahead of me. Sen followed him after he told me that.
Ah that's right. Eh guess? What topic?
"Hey!"
I chased them on foot to the parking lot. Oh? These two have a car.
"Wait! What topic are we going to report on?"
I caught up with them on foot. These two are terrible!
I am not used to walking fast and large steps. I can only walk normally!
"About reincarnation." Mika spoke.
They stopped in front of a red car so I stopped too.
I'm tired there ah! I'm almost out of breath! It was as if I was running at the speed they were walking.
"Oh? Anyare sayo? Sweaty and breathless? It's like you're running." Mika said with a frown.
Sen just frowned at me.
"The speed with which you walk!"
That's all I said as an excuse so their faces wrinkled even more in astonishment.
We were opposite a shiny red car.
"Wow, there's a car, Mika ... or you Sen?"
I deviated from the conversation because they still didn't stop staring at me. I can't position my gaze in one direction in disbelief.
They frowned even more and Mika looked at me in surprise, so I turned to face her as well.
"Z-zaf that's your car isn't it? Or maybe we just made a mistake?" Mika asked me in surprise while pointing at the car opposite us.
Now I covered my forehead and looked at her in astonishment.
"At your house Zaf we'll make the report." Sen said behind me.
Now I turned my gaze to the car opposite us and stared intently. I saw a rose flower sticker on its door, which I put up. E-eehh?
"I thought it was yours, Mika!" I said trying to cover my embarssment.
"Hey! I'm not rich like you! You're still stingy!"
Mika shouted at me and opened the car and then got on.
T-teka? Where did he get the key? I looked for my car key on the keychain of my bag, because that's where I put it.
But I found nothing.
Sen spoke next to me and taunted me.
"I got it. Lesson. Don't hang your car key on your keychain. Easy to get! Hahaha!" And pointed to Mika who was riding and laughing. He got into the backseat.
I was just amazed at what they did. Bwisit na dalawang to! I'm not worried that next time they'll do that to me, for loot.
They are not like that. Yes Mika is right.
They are not rich enough to study here.
They just used diligence and ingenuity to get into university. It's not like I've been here since I was a child, my world revolves around me. I'm not smart and I'm not stupid.
Just neutral.
My brain is also a little full.
"It's on! It's getting late oh!" Mika shouted at the window.
I frowned and got into the driver's seat as well.
Tignan niyo. I'm still going to be a driver!
"Na ... nana..nana!"
Mika sang a song as we got out of the car.
He stopped and gaped looking ahead.
She stopped and gaped looking ahead.
"Woah! The size of your house Zaf! You're the only one here !?" Mika asked with excitement.
"Ahem!" Fake cough by Sen.
He also looks at my house and refuses to admire.
I walked in and they followed.
"Yes. I'm the only one here, except for the maids who are with me but in another quarter they sleep. In the back of the house. If you want, you can just stay here." Ignore my promise.
I stopped walking when I heard a crash behind me, where the two of us were tailing me as we entered here.
"What happen !?" shockingly asked them.
Because they were both lying on the floor! Like a fool! I laughed at the way they looked.
Sen was sitting but his two hands were resting on his back as his eyes widened looking inside my house. Mika was lying down as if she had fainted because her eyes were closed.
What a great actor!
"All right, there you are" I said laughing.
I walked over and left them in that position. I couldn't help but smile. I think I found a friend.
"Wait!"
They were already standing and chasing me on the walk to the living room.
I sat on the single sofa and the two on the double sofa. Mika approached me and my clothes were almost tangled when he shook my shoulder.
"Are you sure about what you said earlier !? You're not kidding !? Right !? Zaffira you answered!"
I grabbed my dress because she was already pulling it.
What the heck! I think this woman is going crazy.
Mika is just a scholar at the university from the province and because she is smart, she was hired as a scholar here.
Sen is only capable of life but he still got into university because he is smart but not a scholar.
"What the heck! Mika! You look like you're crazy about what you're doing! Yes! I'm sure! If you still want to move here tomorrow if you want! But there's a replacement!" I shouted at him because he still wouldn't stop me.
She sat down on the floor.
Mika only lives in one apartment and she still needs to rent it every month, so that's how she reacted to my offer.
"I thought it was free! Goodbye! Hmmp! Let's start the report!"
She stood up and rushed to sit next to Sen and pulled out everything we needed to do.
I smiled.
"You don't want to? Okay. Edi don't. It's not money in exchange. I won't tell you, you don't want to."
She stopped what she was doing and slowly looked at me.
"D-did I say something I don't want?"
I laughed at her reaction.
I did not answer him and laid my two feet on the table. I'm still wearing that skirt. But I know I can't be seen, especially Sen who is just next to me.
"S-sen didn't I say anything?" She even asked for help from Sen.
Because I know Sen likes Mika I know he will side with it.
Sen nodded.
"Okay fine. You'll stay here tomorrow." I didn't feel like saying anything and stood up to change my clothes first.
"Kyaahhh! Thank you Zaffira! Sen! I don't have any more problems every month. I don't have to pay anything!"
Mika is already celebrating.
When I entered my room I went straight to my walk in closet.
I sigh.
Many say that I am lucky because of this. Mansion-like house.
For others, it is a mansion. But maybe because I'm used to this life I don't care anymore. Not all the property here is a big deal to me.
There are still maids who prefer to stay here even without mommy. They are still paid as before.
I took off a hello kitty pajama and wore a roomy T-shirt. I picked it up and went over to the bed. I put them on the bed first and went into the bathroom to take a shower.
While showering I couldn't help but remember the time they were still alive. Where they always surprise me when it's my birthday.
They have a lot of homecoming and all the maids here at home are busy.
But when they died, it seemed like it was just a normal day when it was my birthday.
Even so, the maids still prepared a lot of food for me, but I stopped them because no one was eating them. So the outside, they are also consuming.
I also saw the joy and at the same time sadness in their eyes. And I know why. They are also kind and loved by mom and dad, once again daddy exceeds their salary because they take care of me. So they were just as sad when mommy disappeared.
Today is my birthday again. The day when I turn 18.
I finished showering and was about to leave the shower room but I felt a pain in my head that felt like it was being stabbed. I was so close to the door and touched my head in extreme pain.
"Arghh!" I groaned.
I almost squatted on the floor.
I just close my eyes because it really hurts!
"You're really beautiful Zaffira! I'm sure when the prince sees you he'll be obsessed with you right away! He's so lucky to be able to set my son as the most beautiful of all." Zaffira's mother said as she combed her son's waist -length hair.
The maiden is already eighteen and the next day there will be the biggest celebration in all of Tennessee to introduce her as the bride of the brave prince, of whom the people are admired and proud.
The prince also follows in the footsteps of the bravest and best king, king Hogan, his father.
Prince Akiro.
"Mother, I'm not ready for that yet. Mother, I'm scared. I can't afford to be queen yet. I can't yet handle the duties as a queen, Mother." Zaffira replied.
At the age of eighteen she was still not ready for the duties she would take on when she married the prince and became queen. Especially and the one she will marry is the prince of Nemestia.
