Origami Festival Part 2)

Sel was quite sure of what Lara wanted to ask. And what she meant.

And that book in her hands was the sort of thing she was interested in. She was still thinking that what kind of book was that she was holding. And why did she suddenly asked her about that. 

She thought, "it must be something important." 

"She was quite serious that time. I have never seen her so serious and it must be related to that book,in her hands."

Sel was hooked at the first glance at that book that it would not going out from her mind anymore. 

That was out of the curious nature as well.. Despite the experiences she is getting these days... She wanted to know the truth behind all this... And as to why Lara was behaving so differently…

"Lets go..and look for the bus.or we will miss it."

"Yeah..lets go Sel..Millie..."

They reached the bus stop and Millie said,"Look, the bus has come. Let's go."

Everyone got on the bus. And took a seat as per their favourites. Sel took a window one and Henry by her side. Millie and Abigail went to the behind ones also. 

"Thank God we made it on time or we would have to wait for the second bus."Abigail said. 

"Yeah..right..All thanks to me."Millie said. 

"Haha, right." 

Sel and everyone is having a great time together after such a long break...

They missed each other a lot and that's why this time is of great pleasure for them to have. 

Sel was kinda in two moods...and that was something that could not be escaped from the Henry's eyes...

He was noticing her and knows her well... from since they were children.

He, "Sel, how do you feel ? Isn't it great today? "

Sel, "yeah..." 

"I thought you would not come." Henry said. 

"Why would I not... I had promised Millie..." 

"So, you are excited for the festival...ain't it"

Just like me..."

"Kind of..."

"Come on,it's the first time we are having such a chance to spend time together..."

"I mean we all got a chance to hang out together... "

"yaa...its really a long time since we went out like this..."

"By the way, you are looking beautiful today."

"ehh...thanks..."she replied as she blushed down by Henry's remark..."

The festival is in the Y city just outside the town. Henry did come out of the town many times but Sel did not. She never knew how the city looks like actually. 

The origami festival is a large one and people from all over the city comes to enjoy it. It's the first time Sel going to the festival and so do the Millie. 

"Millie, do you know that the carnival has many go and play activities...that you have never heard of..."

"Really...henry tell me about it pleaseee..." 

"Haha...okay fine. I will tell you."Henry said. 

"There is a paper boat race, pick the bear ,puppet show and special food."

"Really...Henry . I can not wait to go there and see them by myself." she said as flowers blooming down from her eyes. 

"Haha...okay."

"By the way, I think Steven is also going to come there," he says. 

"What...what did you say...Henry? Steven is also coming..."

"Yeah.sorry I forgot to tell you."

"Henry  ...i am not going to let you go,okay..." Millie said by rushing towards the Henry .

They were half way there...to the festival. The sun was bright and still they have to spend much time there before the sky turns blue.

"Are you hungry? Henry says.

"No..no I am fine." she said. 

"Oh... I remember, mom gave me Food before leaving the home for everyone. Sorry guys I really did forget." 

"What..you got food. Why did you tell us so late ?" 

"My bad.Take everyone there is plenty for everyone. "

"Yum..Yum..Wow..Sel the food is so yummy..."

"Thanks...guys.."she said slowly. 

"Yeah..Sel the food is quite good.Say thanks to aunty for us."Henry  said. 

"Yeah.. Yeah...Okay. I surely will."

Everyone gets to their seats...and enjoys the precious journey. Though not a long one.. But surely a memorable one. 

Sel was going in deep thoughts, with the views coming out in front of her eyes... 

The breeze in the face feels refreshing...

And so has the chirps in the ears... 

The whole enjoyment seems to make them even more dreamy... 

"I'm the one who is super excited here."Millie said."I'm sure,I'm gonna win the most in the festival."

"Relax..millie we are in queue too." Abigail said and laughed smirkly. 

"Haha..."Millie said. 

"Henry , have some water,here." 

"Thanks."

"It's quite hot today,isn't  it. ``Henry said. 

"Yeah."

The festival is reached in about half an hour... 

"Look, the carnival has come." Abigail said. 

"Yeah."Millie said as she took a look over the large festival field. 

It's been decorated over months before. And most of the largest festivals of the city. 

"We have arrived. Let's get down." Henry said. 

Sel, Millie and Abigail followed down the bus and get down on the destination where they wanted to be. 

"It's so wide."Millie said. 

"isn't it." 

"yeah.."

It is the first time Sel came to the city. She was liking the large roads,wide range of views of the city. 

It's a kind of different experience for her for the first time. 

"Let's go, Sel and Henry. Let's go quickly."

They enthusiastically rush towards the horizontal stadium which was spread in a wide range over a few thousand metres. 

One can have a look from a distant as for how wide was that. It was all covered with colorful frills and of balloons all over the walls. Decorated with a wide variety of art creativities. 

"Look there, the entrance is there."

"Let's go. Lets go fast."

Finally they were there where they wanted to be for so long. It was an incredible feeling. 

It was all covered with various stalls of different activities. There was a mystery ballet game too. A haunted house. And a huge hoarding of a puppet show. It was looking really nice. 

They're all so excited and can not wait to go and see each and every place. 

"Hey Henry, where should we go first. There are so many things to explore."Millie said. 

"Ah...let's go there, I think there seems to be a play going on there." he ran towards the show. 

"Hey wait, Henry we are coming too."And they rushed towards him. 

"Ahh...i am hungry."Millie said as she reached ,and totally exhausted after running too fast. 

"Wait Millie, Henry,"Sel and Abigail said. They were coming before them as they two rushed too fast. 

"Hey guys,look at them,these characters are so good." 

"Henry, which play is going on here." Millie asked. 

"Ah.. I think it's a story about a princess and her prince." Look there she was,may be waiting for her fiance in the woods."

"Yeah. Let's go.Take a look." 

They went there and got sit to watch the play.

Princess : Our worlds are different. It is not possible. We can never be able to live together happily. 

Prince : but why ? We love each other. There is nothing that can stop us.

Prince : Whoever come between us have to pay a price. 

And in the blink * it all got dark and the prince took the lady with him. 

Forever and ever, into his world.

And the sounds of claps bursted. Everyone stood up and gave out a standing as the play finished. 

They all got out of the crowd and eventually a discussion started. 

"Ahh...what a boring play it was. I almost fell asleep."Millie said. 

"No,it was good."

"At last the prince took his princess to his world." Abigail said. 

"Yeah..so boring."

"Look there's food corner over there." 

Let's go. I'm super hungry."Millie said. 

"You go...i'm full. All thanks to Sel's mom."Henry said. 

Sel,you want to come ? Millie asked. 

"No, I am not hungry, you go."she said. 

"Okay so we are going."

"Sel, let's go over there and have a seat."

Up in the deep shade of the trees they finally took a fresh breathe to relax. 🎐

"Thank goodness that Millie and Abigail went, we finally got to have some peace." Henry said. 

"haha,i'm gonna tell this to Millie."

"So what,I'm not scared of her."

"Look Sel, A Daisy."

"haan.."

He went out there and bought it immediately for her. 

"Look what I got. It's for you."

"Hmm.. Thanks." and there's a slight smile on her face that forcing her to have blushes in the cheeks. 

"Sel,do you know,Daisies mean new beginnings. 

"Really."

"Yeah, They signify Loyal Love,purity and innocence. ❤

"Ahh..thank you so much Henry."

"I hope it will bring you a new beginning in life."

"Hmm."

"Sel, look there's a Tarot card reader there."

Let's have a look."

"Okay."

"Hey uncle, we want to find our tarot card too."

"Yeah, you are welcome."

The tarot reader began shuffling the cards and spread them in front of them in a cervical manner. 

"Choose a one from this deck."

"ah..which one should I choose."

"Henry don't take too long. Others are waiting too. Come on,hurry."

"O..Okay..i will choose the one from the front."

"See here's this one.Now tell me my future."

"Let's have a look what you have got."

"Oh..You have got the Justice."

"That means you are a person who is loyal to the judiciary and will go to any extent for his loved ones."

         In the future, you may have challenges that may try to oppress you but you will stand for the right. 

"You have empathy, compassion and a sense of fairness."

"Oh...that's great. Thank you so much sir."

"Sel now it's your turn. Come and have your prediction. Let's see what you have got in your future."

"Ah...no it is okay Henry. I am not interested. Let's go now."

"No sel, why are you hesitating,it's just a game. Come on have a try."

"Pretty girl, come let's see what's in your future."

She came down and hesitantly tried to put herself in there.

"Come, choose your card."

Sel,in great delusion, can not really decide a card for her. 

"My lady, See from your heart and Choose."

Sel really did closed her eyes and clear her mind from all the worries and doubts. 

"Free your mind and look, which one is for you."

"Believe yourself and pick."

She open the eyes and look for the one which was nearest to her. And handed over to the reader. 

"Let's see what my lady has got."

Come on uncle, tell which card Sel has pick. 

"It's the Devil."

A..a devil. What does that mean ?"

"It means that you are shadowed by the dark forces and may be attracting towards them."

"A pretty soul attracts the devil." 🖤

"May or may not be ,but in the future, you may encounter someone that allow you to enlighten yourself as them. 

But never let the power of hatred defy the light of love in your heart,my lady."

"Accepting the power and depth of your inner experience enables you to remain true to yourself."

"But remember,no matter what you do, you can always change your future." 

"It's always in your hands, my lady."

And that's where you find your true love. 🖤
