Day went by faster than a running river and the first day of the festival arrived. The hole village was busy with preparations for the festival. Mothers took their time to beautify their daughters. And ma was no different.
In the early hours of the morning, ma woke me up so we could pray to the moon god for favour.
When we finish she send me back to bed while saying "you need to rest well before night so your eyes will be clearer to see the part to the river. You need not to worry about your chores for this three days. All you have to do is look more radiant ok child" she said and I gave a nod to her.
She smiled and said "now sleep and keep praying to the moon god".
With those words she exited the room. I looked by the side to see my younger sister sound asleep. I then turn to my own thoughts.
Finally the moon festival is here, I can't help but wonder how it's going to pass. Will I be able to get a good Kain, am I lacking in any of my features, will my Kain be good to me, will he he be rich, is he my dream type or will he be old and fat like the demon king
What.... why am I comparing my feature Kain to the demon king. He probably will be better than that heartless ruler of ours.
I closed my eyes and prayed to the moon god for my dream husband and slowly I feel fast asleep.

Since yesterday night we have been traveling with the King. we hardly stop to rest we just kept on riding to the village of Jong so the King won't miss the first day of the festival.
The moon was almost up when we arrive. It was just the three of us who traveled for the festival so we rode faster and use not up to a day to get to the village.
Under normal circumstances, the journey from the palace in Goma to the Jong village is two days but we used hours.
since we where out of time I quickly inquired from a villager the events that was to be done today and then came back and explain to the King the things to be done tonight at the first full moon.
"Malla" the King called to me and said "go make arrangements for the night then I need every information about the transaction between the outlander and that villager" he stopped and looked at me "especially the village man I need everything about him.
I will meet you guys here after the my walk to the river" he said then walked away.

I woke up like four times today but ma insisted of me staying in my room for rest. I ate just little for the hole day because ma said I need to keep my belly flat that men love tinny belly.
Ma woke me up in the early hours of the evening to take a bath. I did so and came back to my room. I looked on the bed and saw a beautiful blue rapper with beats then ma walked in and helped me wear them. The rapper was tied beautifully around my waist. It covered my waist and was let loss by my hips.
another rapper was used for my breast. It was tied from behind to covered my breast and in a crisscross way was tied around my neck.
Ma filled my hair with beats then she put around my legs and hands. I thought that was it for my preparation when I saw her removing a bundle of beats. This beats were quite different, they were in all colours and big size.
Ma put them around my waist. This were my favorite body part beat. I fine waist beats so attractive and beautiful especially when I wear them.
