4. Be Careful What You Wish For!

(Friday, 5th of January 2090 CE, The Rosetta Residence, Halvord Street NC12. 05.00 am, Newcastle, England)

Inside the bedroom of The Rosetta Family Residence, Sarah Rosetta, The Girlfriend of one Henry Davis was still peacefully asleep in her bed, wearing her cute pink pajamas and violet red nightcap. With her head laying on the soft pillow, hugging her cuddly bolster tightly as if her life depends on it, and with a blanket covering her body, keeping her body from the cold in the room. The AC was set on 28°C so it was cold in the room, but it keeps her body stabilize between the heat of her body and the coldness of the room. Right next to her bed, there’s a nightstand where she placed her Night Lamp and uPhone. And that’s when she’s woken up by the sound of the mildly loud Alarm Music from her uPhone

*Alarm Music: Rise and Shine\, Girl! By an American Pop Star\, Elisa Greene*

♫ Come on! Rise and Shine, Girl! ♫

♫ It’s a brand new daaay! ♫

♫ You don’t wanna miss iiiit! ♫

♫ Oh yeahhh! There’s no time to waaaste !♫

♫ Cuz’ every single second counts your liiife! ♫

♫ So let’s get it onnnn! Yeahhh! ♫

♫ But be careful of what you wish for… ♫

♫ You don’t know what fate has in store for yaaa! ♫

♫ But you did know anywayyy ♫

♫ It’s gonna beee a bright dayyy! ♫

And with that, our sweet and elegant young lady woke up from her deep and peaceful slumber. Her beautiful diamond blue eyes opened first hand before she released the pillow and pulled away the blanket from her body after turning off the alarm. She then sits up on her bed as she takes off her nightcap, placed it on the nightstand, and then she lays her head against the headboard before letting out a soft yawn

{Sarah’s POV}

Hello there! My name’s Sarah Aurora Rosetta, aged 18 Years Old and I’m a student in her 14th Year. My morning starts earlier and was quite ordinary for all students in England. Because I can’t wake up on my own, I set up an alarm using ‘Rise and Shine’ music as ringtone from my uPhone to help me get up in the morning. I’m not a heavy sleeper but there are times when I wake up not on time and it really bothers me, especially with me attending one of the most prestiged high school/academy in England and if not the whole Imperial Monarchy domain. It’ll be really embarrassing for me. And here I am right now, sitting on my bed, yawning and stretching before going to the bathroom to brush my teeth and take a shower

After I have enough time to yawn and stretch, I got up from my bed, wearing a slipper as I tidied up my bed to make it clean and tidy. I then walked up to my bathroom in my bedroom that was located next to my mirrored wardrobe where I stored all of my clothes. When I entered the bathroom, I walked to where the sink and the cabinet is. On the sink there’s already a glass for cleaning up my mouth after brushing my teeth. I opened the Cabinet and picked my toothbrush, toothpaste, and face cleaner as I started working on brushing my teeth and cleaning my face. After all of that, then it’s time for me to take a shower using a classic wall shower with stick soap and liquid shampoo, but first I need to be ***** first. I showered for about 10 minutes or so and after that I use bath towel to dry my body from the water

After drying out all of the water from my body, I head outside the bathroom back to my bedroom and walked to my wardrobe to pick some clothes to wear for today. I wear my underwear first which includes plain white tank top and dark black panties before choosing my outfit. I chose a purple off shouldered dress and dark blue jeans to wear. After wearing all of that, I checked on how I look using the mirror on the wardrobe before smiling to myself, noticing how good I look with this Outfit before walking to the grooming table to dry my hair with an automatic hairdryer and braid my hair in a French braid. I smiled to myself once again after applying some basic make up, but not too much because it would make me look like a mannequin or corpse or something pale like that. But my loyal boyfriend, Henry told me that I’m beautiful to him no matter and that makes me really flustered… hehe

With all of the dressing and make up done, I packed all my stuffs for school today which were my text book, notebook, subject books, my uPhone, my wallet where I store my money, credit card, and student card, stationery that includes pen, marker, ruler, highlighter, pencil, eraser in my medium sized shoulder bag as I sling it on my shoulder. I also grabbed a Taser that was given to by my Boyfriend, Henry for me to defend myself against perverts, burglars, pickpockets, etc whenever Henry is not around. And I was grateful and thankful for him to give me this, knowing that Henry is always protecting eventhough he’s not around. After that I walked outside my room to the upstairs hall sine my bedroom is located in the second floor or story as the British called it, but before that I flipped down the lamp’s switch button to turn the bedroom’s lamp off

The upper hall is not that big nor small, but it’s in the right size. The wall is painted with ocean blue paint, while the floor is made of ceramics painted with diamond blue paint and the ceiling is painted with tosca blue paint. Chandeliers are hanged from the ceiling, making the room bright because of the light from The Chandeliers. I then started to walk to the stairs that leads to the first floor where the dining room is because I wanted to have some breakfast with my mom and dad. Along the hallway there’s a lot of hanged paintings and portraits in which most of them are my grandparents paintings and our family portraits from New Georgia.

Yeah that’s right, my Grandparents were artists, both of them with my Grandfather as an expert in Visual Arts and my Grandmother as an expert in Pop Musics and I gotta say that they’re not so bad at it. Just by looking at their paintings and our family portraits brings me back memories when me and our family were still living in New Georgia before moving here in The Imperial Monarchy. Man, I really missed New Georgia and the old times… We used to explore in the tundra and mountainous wilderness of Toronto in New Georgia… Enjoy homemade meals made by my Parents and Grandparents…Singing Georgian Folk songs… Hearing Georgian Folk stories from my Grandparents… But here in The Imperial Monarchy I feel happier especially with my friends and boyfriend around. Sooo, while leaving New Georgia behind made me sad, but living here makes me really happy since Imperial Monarchy and The Commonwealth of New Georgia aren’t that different with The Imperial Monarchy especially sine The Imperialist were the one who colonizes and gave us our Independence while also keeping New Georgia’s status as Commonwealth, ruling its own Government. Well, what I know from all is that our life here in The Imperial Monarchy is a decent and enjoyable one

I continued to walk towards where the staircase is while also looking at the Portraits and Paintings along the way. It took only seconds before I reached the staircase and when I reached it, I could smell a delicious, mouth-watering, and inviting smell from downstairs. I stopped by the staircase to register what this smell could be but obviously they’re food cooked by my Mother who’s an amazing cook and a dedicated doctor who dedicate her job so much. It took me for a while to register what she was cooking and I guessed that It has to be Sakura Chicken Teriyaki, a dish from Shogunate of Sakura A Japanese in the form of grilled broiler chicken that have been marinated in a mixture of soy sauce, sugar or honey, garlic, ginger, and mirin. Wow, It’s very rare for her to cook an Asian dish. Usually we have Asian dish if we have rice so I guess that today we’ll be having Chicken Teriyaki and rice huh. Well, it looks like it and I’ll probably use chopsticks like usual when we eat this kind of dishes, especially from Sakura or Celestia. With a smile, I eagerly went downstairs to the dining room. I can’t wait to eat mom’s authentic homemade meal

When I reached downstairs, I found myself in the Living room. The Living Room we have is a medium one, with its wall was made of clay bricks that were covered by concrete cement and painted amber yellow, its ceiling made of the same material as the wall has and painted with pure white, and its floor was made of pure white ceramics. There are three couches here: one single seat couch also known as loveseat located on the middle corner and two couches for three peoples on the sides of the loveseat. Around them, there’s a black coffee table with a vase of chrysanthemum flower on it. And across them, at the direction where there are no couches, a Television was set, hanging on the living room’s wall with a clock hanged on the wall right above it. This is where me, my family, and sometimes Henry whenever he visited, hanging out and spending our time together when we have the mood to just stay at home and not go to anywhere fun

I continued walking to the dining room that was located next room the living room. When I got to the dining room, I found my Father, Jonathan McCain Rosetta and My little sister, Charlotte Rosetta on the dining seats of 5 chairs with my father on the host position while my little sister, sits on the guest’s right seats, position 1 that was near the host on the right (left side from the host’s position). On the table there are already four cups of English Breakfast Milk Tea and a basket of bread with jars of various flavored jams and spreads (chocolate spread, cheese spread, peanut butter, apricot jam, grape jam, and raspberry jam), jar of butter, and a butter knife. They were talking about something, probably about how my sister is doing in the high school of her 10th Year. My mother isn’t here yet because she’s still preparing the food judging by the sounds of her and some kitchen appliances coming from the Kitchen that was near the dining room

I walked to them and greeted them good morning “Good Morning, Dad! Lil’ Sis!” They turned to me and smiled

“Good Morning, Kid!” My Dad greeted me back

“Good Morning, Big Sis!” My Sister greeted me back

I walked to the dining table and sat down on the empty seat which is the Chair on Guest’s Position number 2 on the right side, next to my sister. After I sat down on my seat, I spoke up “So, mom’s still preparing Breakfast huh?” I asked them

“Yeah, she is” my father replied

“But she’s done cooking them and is now just preparing them to be served” My sister added

I nodded in understanding “Mhm, Lemme guess: She cooked Sakura’s Chicken Teriyaki?” I asked them. They all nodded, not surprised because they all know how sharp my nose is, especially when smelling food

”Yeah” They all said in unison, confirming my guess. We then talked for a bit before Mom finally came out from the kitchen, walking to us, carrying four bowls of sliced Chicken Teriyaki with Sakura Sauce and Short-Grain cooked (perfect for chopsticks) rice and three sets of two Chopsticks on a medium sized round black serving tray

When She noticed that I’m sitting in the dining seat with Dad and Charlotte, She smiled at me and said “Ah Dear, finally you woke up huh? Well, what a good timing for my cooking to be and you probably know about it”

I smirked, knowing already what it is “Oh yes Indeed I know what it is already, Mom. Sakura Chicken Teriyaki, right?” I inquired

At the same time she put the tray with the four bowls of Chicken Teriyaki on the table and serve them to each of us along with the set of two chopsticks including herself before turning back to me “Yes, that’s right deary. Cooked and Served by a Mother’s Love” She said cheerfully, a little bit dramatic before sitting on the chair across us near dad on his left side

I looked at the bowl of Chicken Teriyaki with Sakura sauce and rice, checking how it good it looks. And when I smell it… Mmm, Man! it smells delicious almost mouth-watering and I bet this will tastes delicious and savory since it was made by my Mother that I couldn’t wait to dig in. But as an elegant modern lady (or girl if you consider 18 Years Old is not enough to be called as Lady) I shall not do that. Also, Living in England sure does change how you do and act live. But not in a bad way. In fact it it changes us to be better

“Mmm, Mom. Wow this smells good and I bet this will tastes so delicious!” I commented, praising the Chicken Teriyaki Bowl and My Mom indirectly by praising her cooking

She smiled “Well, I assure you it will, Darling” she said. She took her chopsticks and placed it in her right hand in proper chopstick handling position “Now let’s dig in! Enjoy your Breakfast my Darlings!” With that, the rest of us grabbed our own chopsticks, placed it in our hands like how she did as we dig in to our breakfast. And I tell you what, It tastes just like how I expected it to be: So Delicious and Savory!

“Wow, Mom! This is so delicious” I said after taking a bit of the chicken teriyaki and some rice using the chopsticks by pinching them together before bringing them to my mouth

“Yeah, far better than I expected it to be, Mom” My lil’ sister she added after taking her own bite. Our mom smiled at us, her silence sign of gratitude to us of appreciating and liking her cooking like always

My father nodded knowingly after taking his own bite as he looked at Mom “As always, Love. You always made the best home cooking ever” My father piped in, praising our mother and his wife “But, that’s not the reason why I married you” He added jokingly which made both of us, including Mom giggled at his remark

We all stopped giggling afterwards as Mom gave all of us a small smile before saying “Well\, I’m glad you liked my Cooking\, My sweet darlings” She told us before looking at the clock and added “Now come on! Finish your Chicken Teriyaki Bowl. It’s school day for you two *pointing at me and my little sister* and job day for you\, Dear *pointing at dad*”. We all then turned to clock that was hanged on the dining room’s wall. We all widened our eyes to find it’s already 07.00 am. 30 Minutes before School started

And with that we continued to enjoy our pleasant family breakfast with Sakura Chicken Teriyaki Bowl, Sandwich, and English Breakfast Milk Tea for some minutes. And after we finished our Breakfast, we thanked Mom for the breakfast before putting all the dirty dishes away in the automatic dishwasher. We then went outside our Medium size and slightly luxurious house to be ready to head to school/academy for me and my little sister and to office for dad. Dad went first, bidding goodbye in ‘later!’ to us and driving his way to his office using the family’s car, a white Chevrolet Cruze 2050. We went afterwards 5 minutes after dad’s departure, with Henry picking me up in his Classic British made Car, a Silver Bentley 2070 and my sister picked up by Newcastle’s Schoolbus since she’s underage. We bade mom goodbye in ‘later’ with Henry politely nodded and smiled at her in which my mom returned with her own nod and smile, trusting Henry to take care of me and knowing he will never hurt me. We then proceed to stroll through the town towards Newcastle Royal Academy. It’s another brand new day in Newcastle and I hope that there will be something interesting or unique happen today. But I know that’s way too much to ask. Just like Elisa Greene said: be careful of what you wish for
