I walk out of the checking area of the airport and head for the exit.

I stop to take a deep breath of my surrounding.

"Ahh, this is just the right way for a person to celebrate his vacation" I say.

I scream out at the top of my lungs gaining the attention of all the people surrounding me.

What are they looking at?.

Haven't they ever seen a girl scream before.

I just ignored them and start to look for my phone inside my hand bag.

I switched it on and dial my mother's number.

"Hi Mama, I've reached the kingdom, just got out of plane a while ago, so where is that castle again?" I ask.

"Oh lisbia, so glad to hear from you, I was getting rather worried" she says over the phone.

That's Mama for you, always worried even if you had to step out of the house for a minute.

"Relaxed Mama, I'm not a child anymore and the flight was delayed for another thirty minutes, that is why I didn't call early" I still explained.

"So, about the castle, where is it?" I ask again.

"Oh dear lisbia, how many times do I have to tell you that Odil doesn't stay in a castle but rather a palace" Mama corrected again.

"Well, they sound the same to me, so where is it, I'm getting tired of standing in the middle of the road?" I ask.

"Uhmm, I managed to get a hold of your aunt a while ago and she said that they have already sent someone to pick you up upon your arrival, they must be here by now..."

"I don't see anybody around..."

Just then, I saw a sign with 'lisbia' written on it on somebody's hand.

"I think I have found the person, by I'll call you later" I say, disconnecting the phone.

I walk over to the man and stand in front of me.

"This is my name you are holding Sir" I say.

He lowers the board and start to inspect me from head to toe.

"Why are you staring at me like that, haven't you ever seen a foreigner before?" I cut him off.

"Uhmm, sorry ma'am, it's just that, I wasn't expecting a person like you in the palace" he says.

What does he mean by that?.

"What do you mean by that?" I ask, taking off my glasses.

"Uhmm, you clothes look rather odd" he points out.

I look at my clothes once again.

I'm just a sun dress that has barely covered my thighs and then I rolled a shawl around my neck.

I look around me and saw that most of the people around are wearing almost the same clothes as I am.

"Now what is wrong with my clothing?" I ask.

"It's just a bit modern-ish" he answers.

What does he expect me to wear, we are in the twenty first century for calling out loud.

"Are you sure you are the one I'm looking for, I mean, her name is lisbia and she's coming from kata'a?" he asks.

"Yes, that's me, the one and only" I answer, swaying my hair over my shoulder for him to have a better view.

"Let's go then ma'am" he says, suddenly addressing me with more respect.

We head out of the crowd and start heading to the parking lot.

"I must say ma'am your clothing looks a bit more like the city's" he says.

"Yes of course, I'm from a city after all and so is your kingdom, look around you, they also wear modern clothes, don't they?" I ask.

"No ma'am, this isn't the kingdom of Hermen'a, this is just a small town compared to it" he says.

Then I must imagine just how gorgeous the kingdom will look.

"Fascinating" I say.

"I can't wait to finally reach the exotic kingdom I've been hearing about all those while" I say, not trying to hide my excitement.

I almost run over to the parking lot.

I was expecting a very expensive car, cars like Lamborghini to take me to the palace, there I said it just like Mama wanted.

"Here is your ride ma'am" he says.

I stood still from my walk to take a good look at it.

"What is this thing again?" I ask, completely dazed.

And there is no way I'm going to get close to this thing. I don't even have any idea what it is to begin with.
