Autumn Scheherazade.

Everyone is focus, yet out of their minds.

Ako naman ay nagpatuloy sa pagbabasa at pakikipaglaro sa mga hayop na malapit sa bahay. This would help me at the very least to gain my stability.

Naghihintay na lang ako sa mga susunod na mangyayari, habang hindi pa agad ako makagawa ng kilos.

"Lady Autumn." When my name is called, I looked at the one who uttered it. It's Wella. I wear the expression of 'what-i-can-do-for-you' look while smiling at her.

She's also smiling at me while taking a tray full of foods.

"Thank you." Gumanti muli ako nang ngiti dito nang matapos niya na ihanda ito sa harapan ko. I motioned for her to also eat with me, she just refuse it. Ang dami naman niya dinala pero she doesn't want to let me share it with her.

Nag-iisip ako kung ano p'wede ko gawin habang nagkakagulo parin sa bahay.

Hindi na sila mapirmi dahil syempre, sino ba ang nawawala? Edi ang pinakamamahal at importanteng dalaga sa pamamahay na 'to.

I was not ready to make a move, pero I'm planning to do it on my own.

I can definitely tell that I need to take an action, but before that, I need to recollect myself.

Wella leave me behind to let me eat my food. Then I heard a knock and my door opened.

"My lady." I smiled to the person who entered my room. The second hand of my father, Felix. "Oh, you're eating- or not." He pointed out when he saw that my plate has not been touched.

"Are you still not well?" He looks at me worriedly.

"I'm fine." I smiled.

He sighed. "I apologize, My Lady. No matter what I say, it's my failure leads to this occurence. Don't worry my lady, the Duke might still not listen but I'll convice His Grace that-".

I stopped him on saying anything. "You're not obliged to do so, Sir Felix. It'll be fine."

"However, My Lady-"

"Let's put it that way, Sir Felix. They need a person to direct their anger, hostility and blame at the loss of someone they love."

Regrettably, it happened to be me.

"I truly apologize, My Lady." I laughed at his remarks. Although he was shock at my sudden laugh, he forcibly smiled with me.

"I told you, it's nothing! Brush it off, brush it off!" I convince him that I'm fine. That's just how the way to all of this.

Nagdadalawang isip man o nagtatalo man sa loob niya sa kung anong gagawin niya, Felix still heed my plea to brush it off. Napangiti akong naaalala ang huling sinabi niya sa'kin

'I just want to let this words leads to you, Mi'Lady. You don't have to invalidate what you want to think and what to feel.'

He's sharp. He always had this inclination was to be neutral and calm despite of everything. Felix never sided with anyone, so I was kind of touched on what he said to me.

"I wanted to walk in the garden." Kimi kong saadat tumayo na upang ihanda ang sarili sa paglabasa.

Mapait akong napangiti, this garden was my mother and Aurelia's favorite. It was also my favorite.. but it doesn't suit me.

"What are you doing in this place, Autumn?" Napalingon ako't napahigpit ang hawak sa scarf na nakabalot sa aking balikat.

"Brother Ausclehm."

His expression looking at me slowly dimmed. I felt a pang in my heart.

"Are you.. doing well?"

"Not at the moment, Brother. Sister... hasn't been found. How could I?" I lightly answered his question.

"I was a bit tactless that day, even Father was harsh on you. It's just.. we think if weren't for you, my sister will be safe."

Aren't I your sister.. too?

Will they react the same way, if I was the one who lost? That's for the best, it might be.

"I understand, Brother. It's no wonder that it was my fault." It was not too stubborn. If I didn't drag Aurelia with me that day. If I was not that complacement. None of this would happen. That the beloved lady won't be lost in my place.

"It's just, Autumn. We can't bear to lost the precious lady of this Household. We can't."

"I can't lost my sister." His words are far from his expression. His voice was longing and hurting in the way that his facial expression can't exhibit.

How is it so unfair? How could they hurt me unnoticeably, in the every sense of my existence?
