(Myra’s POV)
*beep beep ...beep beep .... beep beep ..... phone vibrates*
Patting the bed with my eyes still closed, I tried to find the source of noise.
Beneath the other pillow, my phone keeps buzzing as my alarm tone chid in its fully glory. Opening one eye, I looked at the ti and it was already six. Lazily, I stretched my limps as I propped up in a sitting position. The shining light of the sun reached my face from the slightly open balcony, making feel warm, "Ummm so nice."
I got out of the bed and walked out there to bask in the early morning sunshine. The direct rays of the sun, when touched the exposed parts of my skin, it made feel comfy and pleasant. Maybe it was because of the sun or because I slept like a log last night, but I was in a good mood today, "The weather’s so pleasant today."
The robin birds humd and chirped their dawn chorus lting my heart with their lodious cuckooing. The morning breeze was gentle and calming which made feel relaxed. The conversation between and Nora from last night has made feel better, maybe that’s the reason I felt jubilant and a lot energetic today.
After standing in the sundeck for a while, I made my way inside to start my day. Tidying up my bed, I perford my morning routine, picked up a nice floral dress from my wardrobe and went inside to bath.
It took half an hour or so and when I ca out of the bathroom, I heard a knock outside my room. I went there and unlocked my door and found Nora standing there with her crinkling smile, "Good Morning Ra-ra." She looked from head to toe and her smile only deepened, "Oooo, soone’s wearing a dress aaaa. You should wear these more."
I smile back at her, "Good Morning, Nora. Thanks, I was just feeling great and wanted to try on a different style. What are you standing here for? Co."
Nora and I went inside my room, as I sat on the dressing chair to do my skin routine; Nora sat at the edge of the bed. She started, "I have told my family about your departure and we all want to throw you a farewell party. I know you don’t like these kinds of things, so I have asked them to keep it light and simple, just within family mbers. But if you don’t want to, I will ask them to cancel it."
I pursed my lips at her words. Yeah, I am not a big fan of parties and such dinners, but I didn’t feel like canceling it, after all it will be my last dinner with the Everests and I want to leave this place with a peace of mind, so a dinner party is fine for . "You don’t have to cancel it. I don’t have any problem."
"Really, you are not saying this because of , ahh?" Nora questioned with a surprising expression.
"Nahhh, as you said it is just a simple farewell dinner, so I guess it will be okay with ." I casually remarked applying a moisturizing cream on my face.
"Ahhhh, that’s great. No, that’s aweso. Let inform the others then." Saying this, Nora started texting sothing on her phone.
Saring a lip balm, I dried my wet hair with a hairdryer and Nora asked still imrsed in her phone, "Will you co with ? I want to go to a spa and shopping with you and was wondering~"
A laugh escaped my mouth at her words, "Puffff, Why are you walking on eggshells in front of , Nor? It doesn’t suit you, you know. Aren’t you a dominant kinda princess? When does a princess asks such things?" I teased her.
She rolled her purple and gold eyes at , making a weird face, "Ha ha ha, very funny. But this princess loves her best friend way too much and wants to know how her bestie feels about going out and spending a day with today?"
"The best friend is glad to accompany Her Highness on her journey" I spoke in a regal tone which made Nora cringe. I then added, "I wanted to buy gifts and souvenirs for mum, dad and Wendy and also for so of my college friends."
Saying that, I got up from the chair and Nora too got up and we departed from my room. I casually asked, "You generally have gym training at this ti of the day. Didn’t you attend it today?"
"Ahhh, I wanted to spend ti with you so asked for a leave for a day. You know, I may suck in academics but while training I am the best student amongst all my peers. My combat teachers even complints my fighting skills and just adores . Now, I am also a A student." Nora showed off her achievents in front of with a proud tone.
I laughed out loud at her amusing tone, "Yeah yeah, I always wanted a friend with such skills, strong and resilient. Finally, finally my lifelong dream has been fulfilled."
Nora bobbled her head side to side, with a raised eyebrow, feigning annoyance and it only made laugh even more at her antics.
Our chatter and chirping continued all the way to the breakfast table, where all the Everests were already seated except Brave. I haven’t seen him since that ti.
I greeted all of them a good morning with a genuine smile, yes all of them. Noah politely nodded where as Sara replied with her own signature smile. She has such a radiant and glowing smile and she’s always so sweet. I absolutely like her; she’s the best out of the Everests.
For once, my good mood didn’t dampen looking at Nora’s brothers not even Alaric. He even greeted back and I don’t know if it felt pleasant or not but it was definitely a surprise for . He seed to be in a good spirits too and was enjoying his breakfast with a smile stapled on his lips.
Dion greeted with a wink while Elio just like his mother had a smile plastered on his face, although his smile seed stiff to , like he was pretending.
Sara while passing a dish ntioned, "Nora told us that you have decided to return to your country tomorrow."
I answered confidently, "Yeah, that’s what I have decided. I have booked my flight and it will takeoff at around eight in the morning."
As I said those words, I could feel everyone stares from various directions, but I don’t mind that. I am happy I am going back tomorrow and nothing can ruin my mood today, not their staring, not their glaring. I want to leave this place on a good note.
"You are going so soon. We haven’t even shown you Kimberg properly. I would have loved if you could stay a bit longer but I can’t a force my decision on you" Sara sounded a bit disappointed. Then she looked at Nora continuing, "Ora, take Myra outside for shopping and have so fun today."
"Maa, we have already discussed about today’s plans, right Myra?" Nora winked at while saying this.
"Yeah Mrs. Everests, ehem ehem, I an Sara, I have to buy so souvenirs as well so after having breakfast we’ll go for so shopping" I comnted.
Sara seed satisfied with calling her by her na, she then turned to the other side of the table and said in a stern tone, "Al, go with the girls and take care of them while out there." She emphasized on the words ’take care’.
Alaric stopped his hands in the middle of cutting his rolled tomato olet; his mouth flinched listening to his mother’s order. He then continued with his breakfast as he replied, "Mom, I would have loved to go with them but there are so urgent works that are pending in the office. Matthew can take them." It sounded like he was giving excuses, which he was.
Sara paused, glared at Alaric and commanded with firm voice, "You don’t have to worry about that. Brave is already in the there, taking care of office matters and Dion will also be going to the office today. Your father will go in a while too. So, there are no urgent matters that need ’your imdiate presence. And Matthew is busy with so stuff I have given him. As for Elio, he will assist . So, I am giving you the responsibility of taking the girls out and to look after them."
The smile on Alaric’s face disappeared but he couldn’t refute Sara’s orders, he reluctantly obliged, "Yes mother."
He knew Sara was punishing him for the night camp’s incident. He didn’t like to waste his ti shopping and doing such things, so she specifically assigned him this job. He felt a headache coming but what could he even do.
I was holding my laughter all along looking at Alaric’s irritated face, thinking, ’Serves him right.’
He looked my way and that annoying smile was plastered back again on his face, giving the creeps.
