First Person POV (point of view)
My mom always told me stories about fairytales. Before I sleep, when she have a free time, and everytime I'd ask her to.
She told me stories about flying brooms, magic carpets, and knight saving princess. But the story I like the most is about the true love kiss. A prince kissed the sleeping princess that saved the princess' life from the curse.
I like it how love was determined in their most vulnerable time.
But when I reached 13, my Mom decided to be separated with my Dad.
"Your Dad is not my true love, kid" she reasoned out.
But still left me with my Dad leaving me no choice. Despite all that, I still believe in a fairytale.
At my eighteenth, I finally met my prince. Nice shiny hair, handsome face, and attractive eyes.
I said to my self, "he's really a prince material", I chuckled.
But this attractive prince left me not long after. It's my first love, and in your first love, you always gave it all because you will thought it's true. You'll get hurt, like how a little girl in a red hood get betrayed by a wolf.
I cried and cried. But then, my knight in shining armor appeared, and it's my dad. He sat beside me and gave me a tissue with something written on it.
"Feed me tears", it says.
That joke made me laugh. At that moment, I felt like I'm the princess that the knight saved. I realized that my Dad truly loves me because he was there at my most vulnerable time.
I have so many realization at that time. I realized that it's not the prince who you're supposed to find, you should find your true love.
And if you can't find your true love, your true love will find you.
And true love doesn't have to be a prince, it could be a knight, a frog, a dragon, or maybe someone who's just there, secretly loving you.
I married my best friend at the age of 26. He's some kind of a frog that I kissed and turns out to be my future husband.
I don't expect my true love to be someone who's perfect. Storms are still there, but at least there is someone who's facing it with me and that's enough.
From all this experience, I learned that love is associated with trust. You can't just say it's not your true love just because. It's because true love is not something you'll find, because it was someone who'll find its way to you.
