“…and they lived happily ever after… The End…” the 13 year old girl said as she closed the book and placed it on her bedside table.

“So you still love reading fairy tale stories…” Hearing this, the girl turned toward the source of the voice and found a curly-haired lady standing by the door of her bedroom. She has been standing there for quite a long time already but she decided not to bother the girl who is too engrossed in her reading to notice her.

“Unnie!!!  How long have you been there?”

“Just a while… I do not want to disturb your bedtime reading. I guess you are still dreaming for that prince charming right?” the woman asked as she approached the foot of the girl’s bed.

“Unnie… when shall I find my prince charming?” the girl asked innocently.

“You are still too young for that,” the woman answered with a laugh. She was quite surprised by the question asked by the young girl in front of her.

“There is no need to rush… Someday for sure you will find your prince charming. You just have to be patient. Sometimes there are things that need not be searched such as love… for those things will just come in their own time. Always remember that, okay?”

“But how will I know if I have already found my prince charming?” the girl asked again.

Her unnie laughed at her question again. “You will feel it when it happens.”

“Eh?” the girl answered with a puzzled look in her face.

“Through the years, you will get what I mean. But for now, it is time for you to sleep,” the kind lady said as she kissed the girl’s forehead and helped her pull the blanket covers over her.

“Good night and sweet dreams…” After saying this, she turned off the light and left the room. The only light left was from a small lampshade which illuminates the girl’s sweet face while she is in her peaceful slumber.

Years later, the cute little girl grew up and became a young sweet lady.
