Story of a Cinderella

There was this once upon a time; she was the gem of the parents until her siblings come to existence. She tried to reason out when people snickered behind her back asking why her parents hated her so much. She convinced herself that maybe the rest of the family members are aliens that were just different from her.

Then there was this period of time when prince from Scandinavia came to town. They met in the frog pond. She gave him a kiss and helped him broke his curse. She thought they would live happily ever after.

They did not. He transformed into a different person. She wondered why he didn't love her anymore. She felt better after she convinced herself that the one who had love her all those while had gone back to his alien planet and what's left in the body was somebody else.

Then she remembers the girl she used to play with in the forbidden garden. There were squirrels, chirping birds, pleasant rodents, singing grasshoppers and lots of beautiful purple flowers. She misses that, but the girl isn't there anymore, so were the squirrels, chirping birds, pleasant rodents and the singing grasshoppers. The strangest thing is, the happy chirpings and the singings and the giggling still linger. She knew where they were, but she couldn't convince them to come back.

She learnt to put herself into others' shoes knowing that she thinks differently from others and she's not capable of convincing others to think her way.

Another prince from Nobut Planet came. He doesn't like to talk much. And so she can't help but wonder if he ever understands.
