Miraculum ( 1.5 Miracle )



1st Miracle.

--- Angelica Side ---

I’m walking down the street in Paris. I’m looking at the people. They so freely. They can do whatever they want. Freedom. But What am I ?! My friend said that I’m high class princess. All my friends envy me. But to tell you the truth, I envy them. They can choose the path that they like. They can do whatever they want. They can go where ever they want. But me, I’m looking to my left. A tall man with suit. Then I’m looking to my right. A tall man with suit too. Sigh. Yea, They are my bodyguard. I’m tired of my life. Then I arrive at music shop. I go inside it then everyone in there look at me with a shock. A beautiful princess with long white hair and blue eyes, huh?

“Lady Angelica, Welcome. We so grateful that your highness can come to this place” The shopkeeper greeted me.

“Please, Don’t be so formal. I just want to take a look for instrument” I answered back.

My parents always force me anything. Force me to dance, Force me to royal feast. Introduce me to unknown guy. Sigh. I’m tired of it. What I want just playing music. Well, at least my parents allow me to play music. And thanks to that I can play piano right now. Well, I also won a several award before. Classical Meister Award, Youngest Classical Pianist, Best Paris Pianist for several years, and a lot more. That is the only thing I like in my life. Well, since I’m in instrument store, maybe I can buy an instrument here. 

I’m looking around the shop, then I stop at one side of shop. I’m looking at the keyboard.

“Keyboard, huh?” I mumbled.

I pick KORG TRITON TR88 black keyboard then bring it to the shopkeeper. I always wanted to have a keyboard. I heard playing keyboard is more interesting than playing piano. Well, I can bring this keyboard to my new school too, or maybe with this I can go to music club in school. Since tomorrow I’ll be freshmen in St. Barbara Academy.

“Sir, How much for this keyboard?” I asked.

“M-M-Milady…Please just takes it… You don’t need to pay that” The shopkeeper answered.

“Hey, I can’t do that. It’s just like stealing you know. So how much this keyboard cost?” I Insisted.

“Well… If you insist... 960 Euro Milady.” He answered back.

I take my purse and pay for the keyboard. Then take the keyboard to its case. Well, I hope my parents allow me to buy it. After that, I leave the shop then go home with my limo. After a few minutes, I arrive at my home. A very big mansion in the hill. I go out of the car then go inside. My personal maids greet me just like always. Sigh. I’m tired of this, When can I life normal just like another people?! I go upstairs to my room. I open the case and take out the keyboard. I’m trying plays some songs, A classical one, like Cannon in D, Beethoven 9th symphonies, For Alice. But suddenly someone knocks my door. I open it and I see my mother.

“Angelica! Why you buy that thing! You shouldn’t play an instrument like that! Didn’t we agree? No others instrument expect piano or violin!” My mom yelled.

“But mother, Keyboard is similar like piano right?” I tried to convince her.

“It’s Different. We are royal family! You should play the Grand Piano! Not the low level instrument!” She yelled back.

“What! Low level!? Screw Royal Family! I’m SICK of it” I Shouted.

After that I run out of house. My mother yells and calls out the bodyguard, but somehow. Yea, somehow I can escape them. I ran out with my uniform and my keyboard. I’m really sick of it! The hell with royal family. I just want normal life like others. Then, without realize I go to St. Barbara. I just run and run as fast as my leg take me. I arrive at St. Barbara Dorm. I’m looking around looking for someone I know. But there is nobody there. I’m feeling lost right now. I don’t know what to do, then I turn around and see a woman and a girl from a far. I approach them then I see the girl face. A girl with short white hair with blue eyes. What?! Her face just looks like me. I’m feeling like seeing myself in the mirror. Then our eyes meet. She looks shock too, then a woman near her looks like explain it to her. I don’t know what they are talking about. But, They maybe can help me. So I approach them.

“I’m sorry, But… Can you help me? I know I’m a stranger, but please! I need your help!” I begged to the girl.

“Eh? Ehhhh?! Uhh…A….Er….” The girl looked confuse.

“Pleaseeee!” I asked again.

“Er…Sorry I don’t know how to speak France” She answered with English.

At the moment I shock. It’s look like she is foreign student and she can’t speak France.

“Oh sorry about that, What I said is Can you help me? I know I’m a stranger, but please! I need your help!” I asked again with English.

“Hey, You can speak English too. Errr… Sure, How can I help you?” She answered.

“Please let me stay in dorm for a while.” I begged.

“Hehhh? But you are Angelica right? Angelica Louis. The France’s Royal Family” The woman interrupted.

“Yea… A lot happen, So I ran away and now I got nowhere to go.” I explained.

“I see… Then, you can stay in my room as my roommates. As long Miss Arcsen allows it” The girl answered.

“Heh? How can I refuse you! Of course you can” The woman answered back.

“Really!?” I shouted.

“Yeap!” The girl answered back.

“Oh sorry, Where’s my manner. Just like she said. I’m Angelica Louis. Pleasure to meet you.” I said with smile.

“Chitara. Grace Chitara. You can call me Grace. And this is our teacher Miss Noel Arcsen. Pleasure to meet you too, Angelica ” She smiled.

She called my Angelica. For the first time. Someone beside my parents called me Angelica. Others always called me milady. And I’m sick of it. 

Then I notice, Grace brings a black case behind her. A guitar case. Guitar… Yea… A Guitar…
