"I am gonna sleep early today. Don't disturb me." I said this to my so-called friend.

"But I want to show you how much I have progressed since last time."

My friend pouted. She looks disappointed right now but I don't care. She just wants to show off her magic anyways and it's not like she is special in any way. Everyone can use magic in my world. Even a five-year-old.

"You can show it to me tomorrow. Now go." I lied to her again and yawned, pretending to be drowsing. Let me tell you a secret, I am never gonna meet her again in my life.

"Ok. Good night." I gave her a polite smiled and closed my eyes. Only after I was sure that she won't come back, I got up and started to pack my stuff. You guys must be wondering who I am right? I don't know how I should introduce myself. I don't have a name. Don't worry, my parents did give me a name but I hate my parents so I hate the name they gave me too. I was just six years old when my parents left me outside an orphanage. They did this because I was special. Of course, they don't think I am special, they think I am abnormal. When they were leaving they told me to hide who I am. Hide my true identity. Now after lying about my name for a thirteen year, I don't even my true name.

I have already packed everything and now I am going to jump out of the window. First I am gonna go to the river near my house. Okay, not my house. I live in servant quarters but whatever.

I am feeling much more relieved after throwing everything in the river. I don't have to carry so much weight with me anymore.

Y'all wants to know where I am going? I will tell you when we get there. How about I tell you about my world until we get there? The first thing you should know about my world is that there are two sides to this world. Night side and Day side. I live on the Night side and you won't believe me when I say this but I have never seen the sun in my entire life. No one on the Night side has. I have only read about it in books. They say it's warm and bright. I want to see it. I want to go to the Day side but it's not so easy. You can even say it's impossible. There is a portal connecting the two sides. Many people have tried to go to the other side through this portal but no one has ever succeeded. Why? Because people who are born on Night side can't go to the Day side. Whenever someone tries to go near the portal their skin burns. I have even heard people lost their lives because of this. And I have never seen someone coming here from the other side either.

I have been walking for two hours and my legs are starting to hurt. I can already see the portal. Even though my legs hurting but I don't care. I want to go to the portal as soon as I can.

Do you think I will die too? Don't worry. I have already told you I am special, didn't I? I think I can go to the other side. Alive. Maybe.

I can feel my skin slightly burning but it's fine. I have already come this far, I can't go back now. My head is also starting to get a little dizzy. Ok, not a little. I am about to touch the portal. I feel like I am dreaming. No, I think I am about to lose my consciousness. Am I dying? Ahh! Sh*t.

" Young Lady! Young Lady!"

I heard someone calling me and then patting my cheek. My head hurts like hell and I can't even open my eyes.

"Young Lady!"

Ugh! So annoying. I finally managed to open my eyes and tried to see just who was calling me.

"Young Lady, are you ok?

A young man was staring at me with his blue eyes. There was a worried expression on his face.

" No. I just died." I heard myself saying. I have done anything good in my entire life but I still managed to get into heaven? Amazing. And there is even a fairy waiting for me. A male fairy.

"I think you are mistaken young lady. You are still alive. Can you tell me what happened to you?"

"I am alive?" I immediately sat up and looked around.

"Yes." He smiled.

"Wow." Everything is so bright. I must be on the Day side. I was so happy I almost screamed. But feeling the young man's gaze on me, I had to school my expression.

"Who are you?" I tried my best to hide my excitement and calmly asked him.

"My name is Muran. What's your name?"

"I am Carla." I smiled and lied confidently.

"MayI ask if you came from the other side young lady?"

"First, stop calling me young lady. And yes, I came from the other side." I had no choice but to tell him the truth. He probably figured this much already and was just confirming.

"I thought it was impossible."

"I thought so too," I said innocently.

A case of theft: this story is not rightfully on Amazon; if you spot it, report the violation.

"Then why did you do that?"

"I wanted to suicide." I think I have mastered the art of lying by now.

"Why would a young and pretty girl like you wanted to suicide?"

"It's because I can't use magic." I even pretended like I was holding back my tears.

"Really? Everyone can use magic. Even a five-year-old ca..." He stopped mid-sentence.

"You don't believe me?" I looked at him with tears filled in my eyes.

"No, no. I didn't mean it like this. I am sorry for being disrespectful."

"It's ok. You don't have to apologise." He is really innocent.

"What are you doing to do now?" He asked hesitantly.

"I'll try another method this time."

"For suicide?"

"Yes."

"You can not do that." He helped me stand up and said anxiously.

"Why can't I? I don't have a home to go to or food to eat. There is nothing left for me in this world." I tried to walk away but my arm was grabbed by him.

"You can come with me if want." He was looking at his shoes shyly when he said that.

"Are you sure?"

"Yes."

"Ok then." I agreed.

"Let's go." He let go of my arm and instead held my arm. We both started walking on the bumpy road. He was walking one step ahead of me. I can see his broad shoulders and small waist. He is also tall. No. No. I shouldn't be thinking about his figure right now. Let's talk about something else. You guys must be feeling bad for this innocent young man? Don't pity him just as yet. Maybe he is also acting just like me.

"We are here." After walking for a long time we finally arrived at our destination. We were standing in front of a big house. Like real big.

" You live here?" I asked unbelievingly.

"Yes." He smiled at me and let go of my hand. Someone was coming and maybe he was too shy.

"Where were you? I was waiting for you at lunch." An elegant looking girl came and said while frowning.

"Sorry. Something came up."Moran patted the girls head and entered the house with her.

"Why are still standing outside? Come in." He turned his head and invited me.

*And here going the chance of him being my fated lover.* I thought to myself and followed after them.

I was already expecting that he must belong to a rich and notable household by the way he talked and acted but I didn't expect him to be that wealthy. And what's more, he is the youngest child of the family. Practically the darling of the family. But what was this young master doing near the portal?

"What were you doing in such a deserted area near the portal?" I stuffed my mouth with the last piece of pastry his sister brought for me and asked him. By the way, the girl we met at the door was her sister.

"Nothing. I was just exploring the area." He said carelessly like it was a most natural thing to do so.

"Just exploring the area? Do you have a death wish?"

"It's not like this." He stopped practising and came to sit beside me. Come to think of it, I still haven't said how magic works in our world. People who live on the Night side can only ice magic while people on this side can only use fire magic. Everyone can use magic but the level of everyone's magic is different. People like my friend back in the Night side spend their whole life stuck in the beginner level and can only work as servants. And then there are people like Muran who are already at an expert level at such a young age. Well, this type is quite rare but that's why they are regarded so highly.

"Then what is it like?" I grinned at the handsome youth sitting beside me.

"I only went near the portal because I saw someone passed out there. At first, I was just exploring the area near the portal."

"I see."

"It's time to sleep. You must be tired too. I'll show you to your room."

"What's this? I am not sleeping in such a dark room." I was very displeased after looking at the room. I have spent my whole life sleeping in small and dark rooms and now he is giving me a room like this again. It's not small but its dark.

"But you can't sleep if it's too bright and I especially arranged a cool and dark room for you."

"Ridiculous. I want to sleep in a warm room with many windows."

"Fine if this is what you want."

He then brought me to a room with two big windows. The bed was placed right beside the window. I happily went to bed and closed my eyes in hopes of good sleep. I wasn't able to sleep for quite some time but maybe it was because I was too excited.

My life on this side is definitely better than the life I had before. It's been two months since I have come here. I am spending my days playing with Muran's sister and eating watermelons and mangoes and whatnot. Moran himself is a busy person but he still spends some time with me. He is really good to me but now I feel a little embarrassed for freeloading at his place for so long. Even though I am a liar but I have always worked hard to earn a living for myself. I used to do odd jobs just to get a meal. So I simply asked him if he can get me a job. I know there is a need for a cook at his home but I was too embarrassed to ask his sisters or his mother.

" Why do you want a job?" He asked surprised.

"Well, I can't freeload at your place and eat your food forever without paying." I took a bite of the apple he gave me and said.

"You can." He stopped eating the apple in his hand and said anxiously. "I mean if you want to." He added again. He looked a little shy right now. His blue eyes fixed on the apple in his hands.

"I..." I was speechless for a moment before I managed to spit out the whole sentence. "How can I?"

His whole face turned red and he tossed the apple on the ground. Before I could understand what was happening, he held my hand tossing my apple on the ground too. But this wasn't the time to think about Apple. His face was too close to mine. His hypnotizing blue eyes staring straight into my eyes. I think I blushed a little too. There was the warm sun shining brightly on her heads.

"I like you, Carla. Marry me?"

What? He was confessing his love to me. He doesn't even know my name. Well, it's not his fault but he is still stupid to fall in love with a liar like me."

"You don't know who I am." He tried to look away but it's like I was under a spell. I couldn't take my eyes off of him.

"You can tell me more about you." His lips curved upwards.

"I don't have a name."

"Carla is a nice name. He kept smiling.

"There is something else too."

"What is it?"

"Let go of my hands?"

"Oh! Ok." He let go of my hand and scratched his head nervously.

I raised my left hand and a spark flew burning the nearby tree.

"...."

Actually, I was just going to ignite a small ball of fire but it's too long since I have last used magic so I couldn't control it. Well, whatever. I raised my right hand and put out the fire using my ice magic.

"Still wanna marry me?" I was waiting for him to run away in fright but what was that? He was shocked at first but then he just looked amazed.

"That... That was wonderful." His voice was quavering.

Beautiful? Is he crazy? Even my parents were afraid of me.

"You don't think I am abnormal?"

"No. I think you are special."

I was rendered speechless by him again.

"So are you gonna marry me?"

What do you think I said? Yes or No?
