"And they live happily ever after." 

Those ending word always makes me happy everytime I heard it. When  I was young I use to listen to my mother's story. Everytime she said those word, she always makes me smile. One time I listen to one of her story the title of that story was Cinderella. It was a great story were the poor girl find her happily ever after. Sometimes in my dream I want to be like the princesses that my mother always told me. Especially Aurora who have her true loves kiss. Even when I already going to school, I still want her to tell me a bedtime story. She always said that she read it many times but I really want to hear her bedtime story, she only chukles reply on my persistence. She'd like to read again till I slept but one time when my mother. When I reach my school year, I still listen to her bedtime story. When I reach 8 she become weaker and weaker due to her disease. One time my mother loss her consciousness, my father take her to their room in bridal style. I remember my mom said.

"My prince is really caring and sweet." My mother muttered as my father put her fragile body on their bed as my father kiss her on the forehead. I wish my future prince will be same as my father. 

"I'm gonna call Dr. Song.." My father smile as he leave the room. She turn her on me with a genuine weakly smile and handed me a book, she used to read when I was young. 

"Riri, will you read a story for me until I slept." I nodded happily since I want to tell a story for her. 

Once upon a time there's a beautiful young lady name Cinderella. She lived in a happy family but her mother died at her young age and her father remarried again.

I smiled on her and she weakly smile at me.

They did not love her, and were very unkind to her. As she grew older they made her work as a servant, and even sift the cinders; on which account they used to call her in mockery “Cinderella.” It was not her real name, but she became afterwards so well known by it that her proper one has been forgotten.

My expression become sad but when I look to my mother, she gave me a genuine smile..

One time, the King of that country gave a ball, to which all ladies of the land, and among the rest the young girl’s sisters, were invited. And they made her dress them for the ball, but never thought of allowing her to go there.

“I wish you would take me to the ball with you,” said Cinderella, meekly.

“Take you, indeed!” answered the elder sister, with a sneer; “it is no place for a cinder-sifter: stay at home and do your work.”

When they were gone, Cinderella, whose heart was very sad, sat down and cried bitterly; but as she sat sorrowful, thinking of the unkindness of her sisters, a voice called to her from the garden, and she went out to see who was there. It was her godmother, a good old Fairy.

“Do not cry, Cinderella,” she said; “you also shall go to the ball, because you are a kind, good girl. Bring me a large pumpkin.”

Cinderella obeyed, and the Fairy, touching it with her wand, turned it into a grand coach. Then she desired Cinderella to go to the trap, and bring her a rat. The girl obeyed, and a touch of the Fairy’s wand turned him into a very smart coachman. Two mice were turned into footmen; four grasshoppers into white horses. Next, the Fairy touched Cinderella’s rags, and they became rich satin robes, trimmed with point lace. Diamonds shone in her hair and on her neck and arms, and her kind godmother thought she had seldom seen so lovely a girl. Her old shoes became a charming pair of glass slippers, which shone like diamonds.

“Now go to the ball, my love,” she said, “and enjoy yourself. But remember, you must leave the room before the clock strikes twelve. If you do not your dress will return to its original rags. I approve of pleasure, but not of dissipation, and I expect that you will show your gratitude by obeying me.”

Cinderella kissed and thanked her and leave. The Lord Chamberlain bowed low to her, thinking she must be a very great lady by her dress and carriage, and he showed her at once into the ball-room. She was so beautiful that everybody looked at her, and wondered who she was; and the Prince asked her to dance with him, and afterwards would dance with no 
The Prince was quite vexed when supper-time came, and he could not find his beautiful partner But in hopes of beholding her again,

Directly the Prince saw her, he asked her to dance, and would have no other partner, and as he led her past her two unkind sisters, she saw them look at her dress with envious eyes, and knew that they wished they were as beautiful, and as well-dressed as she was. The Prince was vexed at the sudden disappearance of the beautiful stranger the King to give a grand State ball.

“I wonder if Princess Beauty will be there!” said the sisters to Cinderella. “We must have new dresses, for she is so splendid. She makes every one look shabby.”

Cinderella smiled as she helped them to dress. She was sure the Fairy would let her go to the ball too. And she was right. Her godmother, pleased with her obedience, came in good time, and Cinderella, dressed in blue satin and pearls, went in the same style as before. At once she darted out of the room, and ran through the palace as fast as she could go, but as she reached the hall, she lost one of her precious glass slippers! She did not stop to pick it up, but rushed to the door. Alas! the clock had struck Eleven. She found no coach, only a pumpkin, and the rat and mice ran quickly away when they saw her; while all her fine dress turned to rags, and she had to run home alone in the darkness of the night.

However, the Prince’s search was rewarded by his finding the glass slipper, which he well knew belonged to the unknown Princess, he sent out a herald to proclaim that whichever lady in his kingdom could put on this glass slipper should be his wife.

All the great ladies who wished to be a Princess tried to put it on, but in vain. Cinderella’s sisters tried, but could not get it on, and then Cinderella asked if she might try. She went with her sisters in her poor dress, but very clean, and at once put on the slipper. Then she drew the fellow of it from her pocket, and slipped it on her other foot.

The Prince, who had thought the moment he saw her that the poor girl was very much like the beautiful Princess, was delighted. He insisted on Cinderella telling him her story, which she did very modestly.

“Take this young girl for your wife, Prince; she will know how to reign justly.”

So Cinderella was married to the Prince in great state. She forgave her sisters, and treated them always very kindly, and the Prince had great cause to be glad that he had found the glass slipper. He marry Cinderella in royal wedding and they live happily ever after. 

I inhale a deep breath as I finished telling a story. I can't believe this was very exhausted as I saw my mother sleeping peacefully. I touch her fragile skin and it was so cold. I decide to give her a cover. After that Dr. Song arrived and he declared that my mother already dead. I cry so hard that I can't believe it but a boy which is a year younger than me gave a handkerchief. 

"Noona, stop crying. From now on I'll be your prince who gonna relief your sadness and protect you from all bad people." 

I smile and hug the cute boy who really cares for me.. He also promise me a happiness that I wanting for..
