12 Side Story: Lilibeths memory part 1 (1/2)

I was an orphan since I am an infant. My parents leave me in front of the door of the orphanage. Leaving a letter saying that they will come back to get me in few months.

But few months later, my parents didn't come back instead a bad news reach in the orphanage saying they die in a war. My parents didn't give me a name to the orphanage when they leave me.

The orphanage harbor me and give me a name when I first come, Lilibeth. I am shy and timid since I was a child, that gives a reason for the another child to bully me and pick a fight for no reason at all. The leader of the bully is Elliz. When she saw me she always sneer and always trick me.

It all began when I was five years old. There's a play about the princess, and the sister that is taking care of us choose to do raffle to choose a princess character.

”I want to become a princess.”

” Me too, it's my dream.”

”Sister, choose me!me”

” No way! Please, I want to become a princess.”

The little girls began to hype wishing they were a princess. I'm not exempted to that. All girls wish they were once a princess in there lifetime.

”SHUT UP!!” a little voice soon erupted in the room. ”Hmmpp. The princess character is all mine. You all are extras. Don't even think to fight me.” Elliz glare at every child that voice they're opinion in wanting to become a princess.

The children are all scared of Elliz because she has a formidable presence that can make a person shut up.

Elliz always have a big dream. And she is always saying that someday she will become a queen and find a prince charming.

”Elliz” the sister call her smiling, ”Don't be harsh to other children. All of you can become a princess.”

”Hmmp. I don't wanna don't do raffle. I can only become a princess.” Elliz only ignored the sister explanation and push her opinion.

The sister only sighed, helpless she said ”Elliz if you can't become a good child. A handsome prince charming will not like you.” Seeing that Elliz began to calm, the sister continue, ”Your a good child aren't you? I'm sure a handsome prince will come and get you.” she smiled.

”o..okay. Elliz is kind really.” Elliz agreed. ”It's okay if other can play princess because it's only a 'play' anyway.” she remark.

Knowing the child have a big arrogance the sister only sighed and began to draw a name for the character.

”Okay.. here's the name.” the sister pick up a fold paper and began to wave on the children.

The children look at the paper with excitement.

”The princess is.... Lilibeth” The sister read the name and smile to Lilibeth.

Lilibeth blush and said ”I.. always wish... to become a princess once ... in my lifetime.” she stuttering said while her head is down.

The children began to clap and cheer her.

*clap* *clap* *clap*

”Lilibeth don't worry you are always kind to us.”

”Lilibeth sis, god give you a reward for always helping us.”

The children smile to me and began nodding.

”I will do my best in the play.” Lilibeth look at them and fist her palm, looking strong.
