"You're wrong! All my love belongs to you. Even if I am standing by her side, it's all just because Sophia is the only descendant of the Paisley's."
Sophia's body trembled when she listened that the fiancé she loves so much, the man she had been dating for more than six years since she was in middle school, just pretending to love her during their relationship.
Barey Reef was the first man who knocked on her heart. His demeanor, seductive touch, handsome face and sensational eyes contact always burn Sophia's imagination. She think that Barey is the perfect man in the world.
How he described the beautiful future for their life made Sophia believed he was all she wanted as a husband and father of her kids. Sophia was innocent at that time. Barey is her first love. She only believed that Barey will be the one who will always be with her until death do them part.
However what did she look and listen at this moment?
Sophia never thought due to her destiny as a descendant of Paisley is the reason Berey after her.
If she could read mind, she would never let her heart fallen on him.
Moreover, Sophia has to swallow the bitter pill when she know that her best friend Airey Thompson is having an affair with Barey. Sophia's fiance hooked up with her in labyrinth garden which lack of guards at that moment.
It's break Sophia's heart.
Sophia couldn't take it anymore. She's leaving the garden before they both notice her presence.
Both of them were immersed in their feelings and it make Sophia sick to imagine seductive scene between them.
Sophia had not come to catch them cheating at her back. Her original plan was invite them to have lunch together. Barey said he wanted to check on the preparation at the garden, where they will hold their wedding ceremony tomorrow.
Airey already in there as she is the one in charge of decorating the garden for Sophia and Barey's wedding.
"Miss Sophia, is everything all right?"
Sophia just nodded when her maid asked her who had just enter the house in breathlessly after run.
"I am going to my parents room. I would like some peace and quiet. So please no one is allowed to get in even closer to the room!"
Right now Sophia just want to be alone.
All the maids in her manor already knew if Sophia enter that room, it's forbidden for them to disturbing their young lady. Sophia also will lock the door from inside.
Her parents' bedroom is the place where Sophia memorize all about the past with them.
Sophia's parents passed away three years ago because of a plane crash. If she missed them, she always stay inside alone.
However, at the moment on that room, Sophia is not coming to think of her beautiful memories with them. She just wanted to pour out all the feelings of disappointment, pain, and emotional outbursts from broken heart that drained her soul.
"Mom ... Dad ... i miss you,"
Only moans of tears that Sophia could not hold back for hours could be hear inside the room.
Sophia trusted Barey with all of her heart. Barey is not new man for her. He is like a family. Because of her father generosity, he saved Barey from orphanages.
Barey's mom passed away when he was born and his father whose work as a driver in Paisley's family followed his wife when Barey was fourteen. Sophia's father know that no one can guard him. He let him stay in his mansion. Took him from the hard life as an orphan to a warm and peaceful life in a family's protection.
They also trust Barey when Sophia developed her feeling for him. They supported him. And after her parents passed away, Sophia trusted him more. Barey was the one who always comfort her from the pain of losing them. She felt Barey was her Hero. Due to that reason, she let him entry her business legacy and trust him with all she has.
Sophia doesn't understand why Barey betrayed her. And the worst, why must her best friend as his affair?
Airey Thompson was born in a poor family. Luckly she's smart enough to got scholarship and be one of the medical student. At that campus, she met Sophia who had the same major like her. And since that, Airey's life changing. Sophia who trusted her as her very best friend felt empathy with her difficulity of life. Airey's family struggled for living since Airey's father had problem with his kidney and not possible to support his wife and kids anymore.
Sophia has been providing a good life for Airey's family. Her younger siblings can go to school and her parents no more worries for their health issue's bill. Their life have been changing.
And now, why did the two of them hurt her? Cheating on her?
It is hard for Sophia to think about the reason. However, at this moment she feel devastates.
"Is there no more sincere love in these world?"
Sophia is fed up! It's enough for Sophia to lament this all. Even she has been crying from noon until the sun almost set, however there still no peace in her heart.
"If no more love i can reach in this world, then should i leave this world and find better world that can give me trustworthy love?"
At this moment, Sophia feel better to die and reach happiness in another world. However she also think so stupid!
If only because of them she wants to give up her life, isn't that crazy?
"It is not the time to give up, Sophia!"
And it is the moment Sophia braced herself to sit staring at the window of her parent's room where she could see the sun seemed to disappear.
Sophia knew she had to stop crying. She must be strong, resist and avenge her wound.
Sophia is eager to stand on that balcony enjoying the twilight with a smile.
For this reason, Sophia wanted to get up of her parent's bed. The place that overflowed with all her sadness. But, something beside the nightstand changes her mind and bring back her sweet and beautiful memories that makes her closer to it.
"The sound of music always makes me in peace."
A worn-out music box belonging to her mother is always on top of the nightstand table.
"It is always adorable!" Sophia's mumbling.
She try to enjoy the sound from music box and smile.
The box that Sophia opened could put a dancer in the center of music box and the dancer would keep spinning as Sophia is playing the music.
It was Sophia's toy when she was a toddler. And she often saw her mother also spinning it and enjoy the music box. Until now, she is still exciting because the music box was so unique.
Not only a dancer but around the dancer, the audiances also distract her mind. Several animals are like watching a dancer dance.
"Why must animals?"
Until now, Sophia doesn't understand the reason why the ballerina dance for the animals not human? Why is she in the middle of the woods too? Is she fairy? Is she an angel? Or is she lost in the wood?
Sophie still doesn't have the answer.
"But she is so lucky get all the attention, loves and care by those beasts! They are watching her dance and they seems like the dancer also. It's not like me here. I'm being noticed here as a young rich girl, they say they loves me, cares of me, however at the same time they're cheat on me behind my back!" Then Sophia show the bitter smile while shaking her head and doesn't want to think of her pain anymore.
"Or maybe is it possible that this dancing girl is just like me? These animals doesn't like her and they watch only to insult her or just want to wait for her to be eaten after she finishes dancing and she's exhausted?" Sophia give more attention to the animal figure.
"These are not just tame animals! they are all dangerous. The beast i thought! Lion, snake, tiger, crocodile, eagle, wolf, wow, so much more! There are even myth beast! Unicorn, pegasus, and dragon!"
Sophia shrugh in confusion. She had never thought so far before about the miniature only half-centimeter-sized of each beast around the ballerina.
This is what made her chuckle and want to put the music box off and close it.
However, something is interesting too when she lifted the dancer girl.
Well, to close it, Sophia had to lift the ballerina. It position must be lying down, then the box can be closed.
"This is not a button for a music player! But why is it here under the dancer's stand, huh?"
The button is very small with red color and can only be seen when Sophia lifts the ballerina. The button was under the feet of the dancing girl, where in there, the Ballerina is always standing.
It is inside of it. And the red button is untouch because there are standing stage for the dancer and the button is in the middle of it.
Sophia is always asking why must be the button there and it is seems useless.
The button that Sophia remembers was eager to be pressed by her, however her mother told the message from her grandmother that it should not be pressed.
That's why Sophia is confused about what is the reason the red button is there if it can't be pressed?
Amidst her confusion, the curious Sophia also pressing the red button without think right now.
"Haaah! What happened to me?"
Sophia is puzzled. Suddenly she is surrounding by a thick white fog that makes her unable to see anything around even her own hand.
Sophia's panic!
"Heeeeeelp! Somebody, please help! heeeeelp meeeee!"
For a while, Sophia is trying to stand up and get out of the fog but couldn't! Even she's squealing with all her might, but no one give the feedback.
For a moment, Sophia feel regretful. She should have let the servant accompany her. She should not press the button!
"Heeeeelp!" But Sophia doesn't give up.
Sophia try on and on until she is desperates to find a way out.
Sophia drowning deeper on it. She doesn't know if the fog is toxic or not.
'How damn me! I've been betrayed by the man I love and my own best friend. Now I'll die of poisoning?'
Sophia wants to laugh at herself because of this.
Especially when her eyes begin to dim, and few moment later she couldn't see anything when her consciousness is long gone.
Sophia faint.
'Ugh, what is this? Wet? Like someone licked my face?'
Sophia isn't sure what was happening to her when she regains consciousness.
Is this a dream?
Sophia's trying to remember and she found the memories of herself with a music box and a mist in her mind. However, she has not holding the music box. Sophia even doesn't remember when she no longer holding it.
'Ehm, my cheeks! Wet again? Is it tounge?'
Sophia feels the same as she felt before and this is bothering her.
'Wait a minute! Why do I feel like I'm on the grass?'
Sophia doesn't know if it's true or just dream. She hope it is just her imagination. However she's getting sober. Sophia knows as if it wasn't a dream coz she is not comeback to her parents bed. She still can feel the grass..
The bewildered Sophia tried to pluck up the courage to open her eyes slowly.
"KYAAAAAK LIOOOON!"
Sophia wanted to squeal when her eyes was capturing what is in front of her. Unfortunately her voice is not coming out. It chocked in her throat when she hear the load roar.
GROAAAAAAARR!
