The Lady Gangster’s Mission For The Prince

Adira and Prince Dylan slept on the sofa in Simon’s room. Adira never returned to the other room because she was fine.

A few moments later, Adira woke up because her stomach was making noise. She got up and held her stomach while still closing her eyes as if she were still sleepy.

“I forgot about Dylan, and I didn’t eat last night.” She looked where Dylan was, and he was still asleep. “I have to go out and buy food.”

She saw Simon awake too. “Simon, I’m going out for a moment. I’m just going to the supermarket to buy food for me and Dylan. We can’t eat what the hospital provides for you.” Simon nodded.

While Adira was fixing her hair, Prince Dylan woke up and looked around, wondering why Adira was fixing it. “Where are you going?” he asked in a newly awakened voice.

“You stay here; I’ll just buy some food outside.”

Dylan stood up quickly and came to her. “I’ll go with you.”

She frowned. “Just stay here. I will go outside for an hour. I’m just going to buy food for the two of us.”

“I want to come with you so I can see around.”

She glared at him. They both just woke up, and their breakfast looks like they’re fighting again.

“Yes, Adira. Take him outside so he can see the surroundings instead of just being here. At least he can see the outside for a little bit because the day I came out here, you all left to go back to his country,” said Simon.

“Are you going to be okay here alone?”

Simon smiled. “Of course. A nurse is looking after me, so I am safe here. Take him with you.” Prince Dylan was smiling.

She sighed and looked at Dylan. “It’s a good opportunity for you, dear prince; follow me.”

Adira went out first, while Prince Dylan thanked Simon first before following Adira.

There is a supermarket near the hospital. Instead of riding a taxi, the two just walked.

While they were walking, Prince Dylan was left behind because he was looking at the surrounding buildings. Adira turned to him and frowned.

“Hurry up!” she shouted

Prince Dylan walked quickly and stood beside her. “The building here is like a palace,” said Prince Dylan.

She wondered. “Isn’t there something like that in your country?”

“Nothing. All we have is a home that looks like a palace, but it’s small and ordinary. If there is one, it’s probably too far from our place.”

“Really?”

“Yes.”

In her mind, “That’s why the general said, Let the prince see the beauty of my country first.” She shook her head. “Don’t go away from me.”

Prince Dylan just nodded, and they continued walking, and in a few minutes, they will enter a mall because the supermarket is already inside. Prince Dylan seems like a child handling the plastic bread and snacks, while Adira only takes bread and drinks. Adira thought that she would just go outside to buy rice and a dish for the two of them.

Prince Dylan took a bag of bread and stopped behind Adira, who was slightly surprised when she turned around.

“What are you doing there, and you look like that?” she asked because Dylan’s face was like a child buying what he wanted.

He smiled and showed what he was holding. “I like this.”

She looked at what he was holding, and it was a loaf of bread. “Are you sure you’re going to eat that?”

Dylan nodded. “Yes.”

“Okay, but only this.” Dylan just smiled, and she continued to find what she could buy.

And because Adira’s cart was in the back, she didn’t notice that Prince Dylan was putting more in the cart even though Adira told him that he was only going to take that bread. Prince Dylan seems to be happy with what he sees and takes in the beautiful and delicious in his eyes.

As they neared the counter and were about to pay, Adira’s eyes widened at how much was in her cart, which was almost full.

She looked at Dylan with wide eyes. “What-” Dylan smiled, almost unable to see his eyes.

She closed her eyes, but there was nothing she could do because they were the next ones at the counter, so there was no time to return what was in the cart that she didn’t take. She takes the groceries from the cart with heavy hands while Prince Dylan just looks at what the cashier is doing.

Adira waited for the total of what they bought and was stunned by what the cashier said. “It’s $30, ma’am.”

She looked at the two plastics. “Is it that expensive?” she said to herself, but she had already paid. Fortunately, there is money in the pants she’s wearing now.

After paying, Adira looked at Prince Dylan and signaled for him to take the two plastic bags filled with Adira’s purchases as well as those that Prince Dylan liked.

When they got out of the supermarket, she spoke. “Just stay here. I’ll just buy our breakfast until dinner is nearby. Just wait for me here; there’s a seat over there so you won’t have any trouble.”

Dylan frowned. “Why did I just come?”

“It won’t be too long. I’ll be here for a little while, so you stay here. I’m leaving; don’t leave here, okay.”

Prince Dylan nodded, and Adira left completely. She crossed and walked further before seeing a cafeteria.

A few moments later, Adira came out and was about to leave, but her attention was caught by a beautiful woman and a child with dirty clothes who looked like a beggar on the street. She came a little closer to hear what the woman was saying; she seemed to be scolding the boy.

“Don’t you know how much my clothes are?” the woman yelled at the boy as she tightly gripped his arm.

The boy was in tears while apologizing, “I’m sorry if your clothes got dirty. I was just going to ask for money to buy some food.” The child continues to cry.

The woman grinned. “Money, for your food? What do you think of me asking your bank for money from me?” The boy’s arm was already red because the woman’s grip tightened even more.

Adira came quickly. “What are you doing with the child?”

The woman looked at her from head to toe. “Can you please stay out of it?” the woman said angrily to her.

She raised her eyebrows at the behavior of the person in front of her. “Why don’t you let go of the boy’s arm first? You can see that his arm is red from your grip.” Her forehead is already wrinkled.

The woman did let go of the child’s arm, but she pushed him, so the child sat down, and Adira knew that it was painful.

Her eyebrows furrowed and almost met with what the woman did. She first put aside the plastic she was holding and faced the woman. “What is the child’s fault for you to treat it like an object that you suddenly pushed and hurt that you thought was not a person?”

“Sin! What is his fault? You can see this dress of mine. It got dirty because of his hand. ” The woman pointed to her white dress and could see that it had dirt, but not much if it didn’t look.

“So what if your clothes got dirty?”

The woman looked at her in disbelief. “Do you know how much I bought it for? I wear this for the first time and it will get dirty because of that boy.”

“What do I care about the cost of your clothes?” she answered calmly.

The woman looked at her evilly. “Kids like that should be taught a lesson because they are taking too much. After giving, they will ask for money again for their food.” She looked at the boy. “You know how to dig through a trash can; why don’t you go there? I’m sure you’ll find some food there.”

Adira’s face became serious, and her facial expression became blank when the woman said that to the boy.All text © NôvelD(r)a'ma.Org.

“You’re telling the kid too much. You’re making him sick.”

“I don’t care if he gets sick. I’m not his mother to ask me for money.”

“If you don’t want to give. Why do you have to hurt the child?” She looked at the woman’s dress, which was slightly stained with dirt. “That’s because of the clothes you’ll be wearing.”

“What else is the reason?”

She grinned and bit her lip. “The boy did such a small thing just to hurt him.”

The woman frowned. “What are you talking about? This might be more expensive than your life.” It looked at her from head to toe. “You look like a beggar too.” And then she grinned.

She laughed softly and shook her head. “Be careful in what you say; you might come home with both of your cheeks red if I can’t hold my patience with you.”

“Who are you, and why have you suddenly appeared here?”

She walked toward the woman and whispered in her ear. “I was the one sent to take your soul that was already burned underground.”

The woman stepped back. “What are you saying?” The woman seemed to feel fear.

She looked into the woman’s eye. “Your money and the clothes you wear are worthless if your attitude is like rotting garbage that can’t even be used as fertilizer for plants because they might die.” She touched the end of her hair. “You’re beautiful, but why weren’t you blessed with good manners? Were you busy at that time?”

The woman pushed the hand that was holding the end of her hair. “Can you get away from me?” while tapping her clothes like she had dirt on them.

Adira scratched her head and indicated that she was annoyed with the woman in front of her.

“Do you see the person looking at us?” she asked. The woman looked, but she just frowned. “Let’s see if your beauty and the money you’re talking about can do anything for you.”

Adira pushed the woman without a word and quickly sat down on the ground.

She looked at her angrily while her hands were covered in disgusting dirt. “How dare you?” she shouted.

“Go ahead and try to get help.” She stepped away from her and grinned.

The woman turned around and didn’t seem to have any intention of helping her, even if men were passing by.

“It looks like your beauty is useless to them.” The woman’s face was very angry as she looked at her. “Just a reminder, girl, if you’ve been educated. Whether or not you’re blessed with a beautiful face, a person’s attitude is also necessary. Not all people are just based on beauty to help you. You’ve seen the result-they don’t want to help you because of your attitude. Don’t brag about your white skin, your beautiful face, your straight hair, or your sharp nose if your attitude is bad.”

Adira turned her back and helped the boy stand up, then took out a plastic container of food and handed it to the boy.

“Take this and go home.” The boy reached for the plastic and smiled, tears still on his cheeks.

“Thank you very much, Ms. My brother and I can eat now, thank you very much.” He still bowed while thanking.

She tapped his head. “Nothing. Go ahead and go home.” The boy gave her another smile before quickly leaving.

When the boy was far away, she turned to the woman, who was still sitting on the ground. She frowned. “You have no intention of standing there? Why, do you want a superhero to come and help you because you’re acting like a victim here?”

The woman gave her a bad look and quickly stood up. Earlier, she hadn’t seen the dirt that came from the boy’s hand on her clothes. Now the dirt on the clothes is visible because of the mud. “Go walk to the clothes shop. You’re beautiful, aren’t you? So it’s okay to walk while your clothes are dirty. You’re confident in yourself, so go show people the money and face you’re bragging about. ” She pissed her off and took the plastic before walking away. She heard her scream. “You thought you could win someone like me. If the prince of a palace, I could speak about how I like to do without a break, so you should too.”

Adira grinned as she walked back to where Prince Dylan was.
