"Stella! Stella! here"

"Aristella one for me please"

"Oh thanks a lot , I admire you so much"

"I wanna be like you too"

Whoever said that had a such a sweet , melodious voice that , even in this much crowd and noise that last sentence sounded so different.

I looked down to see the person , who said such beautiful words to me. There stood a toddler girl , with a card in one hand and the other one holding her father's hand. I bent down to her level and smiled at her.


"Hey querida , may I know what's the name of this beautiful girl who told me she wanna be me" I asked the little fellow with big brown eyes.


The pretty girl gently removed her hand from her father's hold and took a step towards me , only leaving a little space between.

"I am Cassie" Whispered the girl , as if she didn't want anyone else hearing. She extended both of her hands holding the card which I saw earlier.

"Is it for me" I questioned.

With a bright smile and a little giggle she nodded her head. I took the card from her , and my heart melted at the sight in front of me.


She had drawn a female stick figure , with black hair , resembling mine , and a crown on the figures head. Beside the first figure there is another small stick figure , with brown hair , I am assuming that's her , and 'I LOVE YOU' is written in the middle of it , in capital letters with a big heart drawn next to it.


Although the drawings are a bit messed up , but I can see the efforts the little girl has put through.


"Wow this is such a beautiful drawing , it's one of the best thing I have ever gotten thank you so much" after hearing my gratitude Cassie smiled.

"But there is something missing in this drawing , you wanna know what" I continued , while Cassie just nodded her head , confusion written all over her face.

"Does anyone here has a pen" , as soon as I said that , someone from the crowd handed me a pen. I thanked the person and drew a small crown on the little girl stick figure's head.

After drawing it , I showed it to Cassie and said ,

"You should have a crown too right , afterall every girl grows up to become the queen of her own kingdom"

The toddler smiled and gave me a kiss on the cheeks. We took a picture together and I told her we will meet again.


I took some few more pictures with the people out there standing for me , and went inside the building.
