Aurora: A Name which came from the Dawn

Chapter 8: Blue Star

"If only I hadn't been late, I could have told him," Aurora said with regret.

"What do you mean, Aurora?" Lori asked. "Don't tell me... You're now going to express your true feelings for him?!"

"Cut the cackle, Aunt," Aurora muttered. "I just wanted to suggest a color to him."

They continued their conversation about the painting and on Aurora's visit from the hospital earlier. Claudio, on the other hand, is on his way, finding a flower shop to reserve a bouquet of flowers tomorrow which he'll pick up after his class.

Claudio already planned to buy a collection of sunflowers with a creative and beautiful arrangement for his mother. He thought that perennial flowering plants represent longevity; life expectancy. Claudio couldn't help but to dote over his mother. He knew his mother was still grieving over the loss of his father.

Claudio left early from Lori's house since he finished his painting on the wall quickly, so he also thought to look around the mall to buy a box of chocolates. He remembered the book he read when he was still in high school. It was about chocolates. By offering someone chocolate, it heightens a strong impulse. Chocolate is associated with Serotonin and Phenethylamine. It also symbolizes love.

When he saw a flower shop, he immediately pushed and opened the door, then entered in. The worker approached him directly and greeted him. He was asked what he would choose, and Claudio answered it quickly. He said he would buy a bouquet of sunflowers. The lady inclined to his query.

The fragrance of the flowers flowed over and enclosed the store along with their vibrancy. The sweet and delicate odor that the flowers have been producing agreed with the room's degree of coldness, creating a gentle wind. Claudio looks at each flower in a cursory way. As he entangled on the flower, he took a deep audible breath.

The lady worker, which is ahead of him, gave utterance on his order, saying all things have been settled and will wait for Claudio to take the bouquet of sunflowers. Claudio hindered himself from ascending his foot, for he would be fixing his eyes at those flowers with eagerness.

"Oh, I forgot. About tomorrow... Claudio told me that he will just work for only half of the day since they will celebrate his Mom's birthday." Lori said.

"I know, Aunt. I met her Mom at the hospital. She also invited me on her birthday," Aurora uttered.

The blue moon has risen from the lower level completely and has been sending its lines of light brightly. Claudio inferred to go home, he then moved and advanced his steps out from the store. The cars were slowly moving. When he left the store, he continued walking, and as he passed by... Some were talking sense, and some were talking through one's hat. A car stopped in front of Claudio, then he traversed.

"I see..." Lori said and was grinning happily.

Aurora skeptically looked at Lori as she sensed Lori making erroneous things inside her head. Unexpectedly, Aurora engaged in her daydreaming that regards Rebecca's birthday. She hasn't decided on the outfit she will be wearing tomorrow, although she already bought Rebecca a gift. Aurora has been overwhelmed by her assumption. In the end, she felt a deep and poignant distress.

"What is it?" Lori asked.

"I don't have any idea what I will be wearing tomorrow," Aurora muttered.

In her long and narrow room, Rhiannon was choosing her upper and lower garment from her cabinet, which she will be wearing for tomorrow's party. Rhiannon was planning to come to Claudio's residence because she knew that tomorrow will be Rebecca's day of birth. A purple dress and a pair of black heels have been picked up from her closet by her. As she looked over her outfit, she decided to put them on while looking at the glass.
