You're My First Wish - Leandra A. (top novels to read .TXT) 📗

she said and showed him the basket she is carrying with her, I'll see you later...err...your name...how will I call you? she asked. 

 

I told you as a Jinni, we don't have names unlike you humans and even angels, I replied. 

 

That's sad, you mean you were never given a name nor called by anyone by your own name? is what she said and felt pity about what she heard. 

 

If that's the case can I tell now my second wish, genie? she asked while looking innocently to me.

 

What is it? Are you going to wish to take back the crazy wish of being wed to me earlier?  I asked thinking that she maybe realized that it's better to asked other things than being married with a monster, Sure go ahead, I a jinni will make sure that your all of your three wishes will come true, I continued.

 

I wish to give you a name, Gin ( which also known as silver), like the silver light I saw when you appeared and after I made my wish to have you to be with me, I wish to give you this name

She strongly said that to me and again a silver light flashed and then I felt something hot in my ring finger. This time the word "Gin" was also curved on the ring like shape that was tatooed on my finger. 

 

You! do you realized what have you done to me? I shouted and then knocks her head down in anger. 

 

Ouch that hurts! she shouted, Hahaha (giggles) from now on your name is Gin, My husband name is Gin! she proclaimed.

 

She doesn't have any idea that giving me a name, just so that she can have something to call me is that simple. Soon as someone has given a name, their names will be listed on the book of life and fate will be made on that person. 

 

That is why unlike humans and even angels we are free beings as well in a sense that no one can interfere with what we do, we are literally empty beings exist just to live without any purpose. But now a name was given to me her second wish just gave me something more than something she can call me. A fate was also given to me. From now on everthing I'll do will made an effect to myself and even other's action towards me...a connection now has been made between me and all things made by him that I cannot escape from.

 

But most of all her wish cost her supposed fate and destiny has been cut-off and her fate now depends on what will be my fate. It means that we now share the same fate which who knows what that will be. 

 

And you just laugh in all of this, you don't have any idea what the price of this wish, is what I said to her and then told her to make sure and think hard what will be her last wish cause this time that will cost her own life if not, worst case scenario it will cost her afterlife.

 

But regardless of all my ramblings why do I feel something tingling inside, is this what human called happiness? excitement? I admit for as long as I remember I never felt alive and even felt this envy with humans, who knows what life and death means. 

 

Unlike humans we are empty. I am starting to think that we are worthless beings made out of nothing and for nothing at all. We were never given a purpose why we are born. Were said to be like humans who have their own free will unlike animals or plants, but unlike humans or even angels, they were created with a purpose, a fate. What about us? Nothing.

The Beginning of Our life together

What took you so long? Anne's aunt said the moment she opened the door for her.

 

I got lost in the crowd, aunt. She answered and then entered the house.

 

As she enter she breathe a sigh of relief and then look at her hand with the tatooed ring on it. She had this gentle smile on her face as she looks on it.

 

What are you still waiting and smiling like an idiot there? Her aunt, with her frown eye brows, asked her.

 

I'm sorry, I'll go now and prepare our food for dinner, she answered and quickly hide her hand with the tatooed ring on it.

 

She hurriedly went to the kitchen and bring out the ingredients she bought earlier. She then began preparing the food for dinner which is also to celebrate her aunt's daughter birthday. Although perplexed, Anne thought that compared before she's not feeling sad or jealous with them celebrating her aunt's daughter birthday only.

 

All night her thoughts were full of him, her new found family that will take her away tomorrow.

 

Aunt and uncle I just want to thank you for everything you've done for me, she told them after finishing their dinner. I will never forget you all; she continued and then gave them a smile.

 

What's the problem' with her? That what's they thought of her as she walks away, to clean their plates.

 

That night she packed her things and prayed that tomorrow's weather is good. And so her most awaited time has come, she hurriedly went outside their house to the place where the jinni instructed her to go and waited there. She then closed her eyes and kissed the ring shaped tattoo on her ring finger while whispering the jinni's name; Gin, that's what she whispered.

 

I'm here, said by a voice that came from behind. Her happiness and excitement can be reflected on her eyes the moment she saw him. Where are we going now? She asked him. I'll take you to the place I lived since I got here in this world. He answered.

 

Anne was expecting that they will fly there with his magic carpet, like the one from the book; Aladdin she read but instead without her noticing, he have them teleported on his place. He has taken them somewhere that's actually just near the city, and unexpectedly he was living in a modern single detached house with his own car, veranda and a small garden.

 

Here we are, don't cause a ruckus here, he warned her knowing that she might be too excited to live together from now on.

 

Yes! (Giggles) she answered and then run inside the house to see what it looks like.

 

It was apparent that his lifestyle was like that of the humans. He was able to blend in like a normal person and even build his own house in the city. He explained to her that he only change the place appearance for decades making sure it blended how people of each eras houses looks like.

 

Hey I just told you not to be too excited! He shouted and then has her sit down on the table. I'll make you something for breakfast what do you wanted? He asked her.

 

A...Anything... she answered. There was a long silence before she answered him which made him curious at first but then just ignore it and proceed in making her breakfast.

 

Here, I made you this thing you humans called rice porridge, eat this while it's still hot, he said to her and was thinking that maybe she's not feeling well so he made her something easy to eat. But even before she starts eating, her tears that she seems to be holding for a while, starts falling from her eyes.

 

H...Hey, what's your problem, he asked her while panicking on what might have gotten to her suddenly. Here, wipe your tears using these and calm down, he said and then hand her the handkerchief. She then wiped her tears and tried to calm down before she begun to speak. I...I'm sorry; it's just that this will be the first time that someone cooks for me. I was just so happy, thank you Gin; she explained him and then starts crying again.

 

He just stared at her crying face and for some reason upon hearing what she said, he as well begun to have a strange feeling that he can't explained. This was actually the first time for him to do something for someone and was thanked back in such manner.

She's A Mystery

Every day she would pest me by saying that she should be the one doing breakfast for us and sulk if she sees that I’m already up and making it for her. Just how many times do I have to tell her that we Djinns doesn’t eat or sleep, and I’m only doing that for her! Is what I thought each time we talk about this.

 

These days I would notice her staring at me and restless about something, which she won’t tell even if I asked her. What is it now this time? That’s what I thought and for some reason I can’t believe myself being concerned to her.

 

And then one time she approach me and asked me if I like eating sweet things, which I immediately answered that of all things human made that’s the only thing I can’t bear to eat. She then makes this disappointed face which made me feel bothered. But when I told her that I might eat one the things human called “chocolate” because I once tried it and the taste didn’t upset me, her eyes got big and smiled happily at me.

 

You are really a mystery for me, I accidently commented her and then she gave me a surprise look.

 

What do you mean, Gin? She asked me

 

Nothing, just forget what I said, I told her and then I walk away to get outside the room.

 

Hey! She shouted as she sees me walk away from her, dropping off our conversation early.

 

What is happening to me? This isn’t like me at all to think and observe a human of all things! Maybe I am beginning to be influenced by that little fool…

 

It’s been almost a month since we started living together. I can’t believe I am getting used in living with a human and a little girl to booth! Every day she would talk to me nonstop that it’s starting to get in my nerves, yet I find myself getting interested to the stories she is telling me. There’s this story about a man who freed a magical creature they called “Genie”, that she keeps on telling me that I am like that “Genie” that she’s been dreaming to meet. She goes on about how long she wanted to have her own family and to never again feel alone.

 

I just don’t get
