E-2 Take off

Time flies fast. Soon here I am, at the airport with my luggage. Most of them are, obviously, story books, snacks and dresses. I had to beg to my editor for this break though. I won't be honest if I say I was not looking forward to this trip, but part of my intuition is telling me there will be more incidents than a little journey to South Korea.

As expected, the airport is packed with bunch of people. They were all overjoyed. Some was going on a trip like me, some going to work, others returning home. It was filled with din and bustle.

I reserved my ticket online ( I'm very shy, or you can say, introvert. And I find it quite shameful. What's the point of being famous when you can't face public?) Greta insisted to pay for my tickets, but I resisted her. She already did enough for me. I can't just continue to ask her for things when I have the efficiency to do it myself. I don't lack of money, at least after my book became bestseller.

- LUCYYYYY!

I was shocked as hell! Who wouldn't be when you hear a sudden crying of your name then someone just jumps on you?

- Oh God! It's just you, Vivie.

- Just me? Have I become any Tom, **** or Harry?

Vivian sulked. Even though, I found it quite cute. Couldn't help myself but grin a little.

- Oh my my, what have I done? Please forgive me, Princess Vivian. I will make sure this mistake never happens in future. My heartfelt thanks to you, Princess, for giving me such warm welcome.

- Hmm, that's better. I see you haven't forgotten the royal etiquettes.

I noticed even though they were standing far away, Greta and Mister Norman was cracking up.

- Vivian, Bring her with you to us. It's about time to board the plane.

- Coming mama! Vivian shouted back.

- You heard the Queen, Lady Lucine Scott. Now it's time to prepare oneself for the worst....no, it doesn't suit, For the best trip ever!

Currently we are taking off. Mr. Norman convinced me I should call him Edward. He is neither more nor less than Greta.

- I dunno how you keep up with Vivi. We easily get so tired of her kingdom games.

- It's easy Greta. I just imagine once I was in her age too, and everything becomes simple.

- No no Lucy. Don't compare your childhood to her. At least you weren't spoiled like her. Vivi isn't a needy child. We are giving her a proper shelter and education, EVEN a healthy family ! She doesn't lack anything!

I was dumbfounded for a moment. Then, just to conceal my feelings and racing heartbeats, I laughed, forcefully.

- Why bringing the past in this happy journey? Let's focus on present!

Meanwhile, we were served some kind of instant noodles, but the airhostesses called it ramen. Vivian looked thrilled, as she has never rode on a plane before. Edward was looking at some magazine. Greta concentrated on knitting her scarf. So I focused on the plot of my next book.

I don't know how long I faced out, but a small jerk made me come back to my senses. Then I realised somehow Vivian and Edward managed to switch rows and they were right beside me.

- Lady, I need you right now! Please help me!

- What happened Princess?

- Mama said, you will tell us the story of your first book within this trip. She never let me touch it or read it, always said I should grow up to fully understand this book. I am big now, so I want to hear the story . Please?

Ed smiled. - She is not alone. I wanna hear it too from you.

I sighed. I can't say no to Vivian.

- Okay, I bought my book with me. Vivian, don't tell mama that you are here listening to my story, okay?

- Pinky promise, Lady!
