SamVeil(A Short Story)

I am SamVeil. I don't live in your typical world. I have my own. I don't talk, I don't speak, I don't write, I don't read but I do have a mind of my own. You see, in my world, I am a princess. Everyone caters to my need. When I am awake, everybody wakes up. When I want to eat, everybody prepares my food and readies them on the table. When I take a bath, everybody prepares my bath and essentials. When I want to take a walk, everybody scrambles to their feet. When I don't sleep, nobody sleeps. Everybody and everyone wait for me. I cry, I wail and I shout when everything is not to my satisfaction. One day, when I woke up, everything was so silent and still. I wondered where everyone was. I looked around but everywhere I went there's no one there. Not my Ma, nor my Pa, nor my siblings and all the servants in my place. Where could they have gone? I cried, I wailed and stomped my feet but still, nobody heard me. I've been shouting for quite a while now and still I don't see anyone running to answer my demands. I panicked and went out of the house. I ran out in the streets but there's nobody there. Not a single soul in my sight. I see cats, dogs, chickens, deers, and all sorts of animals. But not a single person who can provide me my needs. I stopped and cried. I cried so hard that my eyes hurt and my nose turned red from wiping the snots. I heaved and I cried again. I thought to myself what a miserable life would it be if I can't find my Ma, Pa, and siblings. I thought of all the people who served me without showing them any gratitude. I thought of all the moments I let them suffer and not letting them know that I can understand them. I saw a tree ahead. I sat under it. By this time, I'm so hungry and dirty and I wanted to eat so much. I just wasn't used to doing things on my own. I looked up, I saw fruit from the tree. It's yellow and heart-shaped. I thought to myself, this must be good. My family often prepared this for me and they're quite tasty. So I climbed up the tree and got one for myself. I ate one, two, three, and maybe four. I was still hungry. I need rice, meat, my milk and bread and butter, and my veggies. I got down and fall to my knees. Then I remembered, my parents taught me to pray. I begged and I prayed. "God please help me find my Ma, Pa, and my siblings. Bring back my Ates(pronounced as a-te and refers to an older woman/sister) and Kuyas(refers to an older man/brother)" Suddenly, I woke up. It was all just a dream. From that day on, I began to help at home. Become friendly and do not demand anything from anyone. Though I can't talk and can't speak, I show them my smile and help out in any way I can. -The End- Special thanks for the Upvote to: @TheRandomRewarder @Panky @ARTicLEE @LucyStephanie
