Teach me love (ON HOLD)

Chapter one

Passions spin the plot..
We are betrayed by what's false within.
~ George Meredith

Sisera Johannes..
A woman of many definitions..
Blessed with affection.

Sisera was humane,
Sisera was kind,
Sisera was sweet,
Sisera was rich.. so rich.
She had money.. she had it all
Sisera was as beautiful as a goddess
Sisera had a smile..
A million dollar smile.
To those who had nothing.. her smile was everything..
Sisera was a voice.. a voice to those who had no voice..

Sisera loved River.. who loved no one..

Sisera Johannes was.. now was
Dead..

"Brethren we are gathered here together to bid farewell to our beloved sister in Christ. Sisera Johannes who left us three days ago... In all his will be fulfilled--"

As the church minister paused to sink the effect of his words,
Few sniffles were heard, some sobs echoed someone even wailed from behind.

He was quiet waiting for total calmness, and when the church was fully silent he went on

" We all knew sisera, she was charming, devoted.. kind a little bit stubborn.. he! " He gave a slight sad chuckle, not wanting to give the congregation time to cry again he quickly went on

" She knew how to give.. now I know that most of you here today are here because of sisera one way or another.."

He looked at the thousands of people who flooded the st Peter's church.

" But the will of God be fulfilled...in St John one the fourth verse says, in him was life, and the life---- "

In the that big population that was present, one person wondered.. if it was possible to feel crawls on her skin..

She no longer heard what he was preaching.. his voice slowly faded out
As minutes ticked away..
She grew more angry.. her slender fingers dug into her thighs until she felt like they were numb..

She was angry at them.. she didn't like it when they kept saying she was dead..

Her eyes locked with the  huge picture..
Sisera was absolutely smiling at her.. at them, that commercial smile she always had on..
Pearly white teeth.. red lips
Dancing brown eyes..

' how can you be so happy at a time like this..?'

River glared at the picture.. a frown found its way on her face..
Her eyes burned up,
she clenched her jaw till her temples hurt..
She heaved a sigh and her chest tightened more.. that's when she realized tears once more betrayed her stoic self
She quickly rub them not wanting to be seen that weak

She quickly scanned the room once more ...
People with puffy red eyes, neat black..
She spotted some famous people, the mayor had also arrived.. she rolled her eyes
It was a huge population.. all came for her.. Sisera  the deceased one

She cringed at the thought..
She shouldn't be in that coffin.
She should have been out here making jokes about her emotionless self..

Her last glance landed in the group of children beside her ..
Once more they had become orphans again..
A parent had been snatched up from them.

Not being able to keep up with the turmoil in her head she stood up, earning few confused glances, other slightly irritated maybe because she was disturbing the peaceful environment.. and most, which she hated the most
Sympathetic looks.. they pitied her,she knew
Why..?
Maybe because she was now one of those orphans
