A Lovely Rose in a field

With that smile he gave me, he left

Aesop's face is still red. His tail tucked in between his legs. His ears caved in. He will never forget that smile he gave him.

One day, one day, I will get to see his face once more

"Aesop.. hello?" Aesop wake up from his daydream and turn around to her. Emma could see the red blush on Aesop's cheeks.

"Aww would you look at that~" Teasingly Emma smile at Aesop, making him blush more redder than ever. Aesop mumble something under the mask so that she doesn't know what is he mumbling about.

Soon she finally told him to get back to work even though there are rarely customer, but still there are flowers that should been take care of. Flowers can't grow without care

The sun starts to get down, the blue sky starts bleeding yellow, the streets start to get crowded as many people decide to take a walk since there is beautiful scenery. Turning the sign from open to close, Emma looks back at Aesop who's still sweeping the floor, smiling at him as she walks toward Aesop and today is done.

"Thank you, Aesop! See you tomorrow!!" Emma said as she smiled warmly at him.

"Umm... See you tomorrow, Emma"

Walking slowly Aesop's mind still replaying the memories where he met a nice man in his workplace. Blue eyes and gray hair. Such a beautiful man, living in the same place as him and he never notice.

Still being shy from all of that morning events, he walked faster so that his brothers wouldn't worry. As ten minutes had passed he finally can see his home. He put up his best appearance and then he opened the door.

Naib and Eli were standing at the mouth of the door. They looked at Aesop who tucked himself under the blanket Then Naib walked over, pulling the blanket away and said "Hey lil bro, we gotta go now. Lady Mary is calling for us. She told us that she'll be making breakfast in exchange for our help yesterday."

Aesop brushed his head with his paws, cleaned up and headed downstairs. His brothers were already waiting for him with their sachet hanging from their shoulder.

"I'm coming! Wait for me!" He shouted while running. I want to see him. But he is just a customer that will never come across again.

What he didn't know is that Joseph was already waiting for him, at the entrance of Lady Mary's house.

The trio walked energetically to her house. "I can't wait to eat her delicious pancakes~" said Eli while licking his lips. "I can't wait to drink her famous homemade tea. From what I heard, the tea and sugar is balance so well that you want to drink it non-stop." said Naib. The three brothers licked their lips together while thinking about the food. They ran like little pups though they looked older than their behaviour. As they arrived, Naib and Eli ran to Lady Mary, hugging her tightly. They didn't notice that there was a certain man lurking in the dark.

The man was hiding in the shadows. Waiting for the time to catch the little one. Aesop stood there, at the entrance of the house. He timidly and slowly walked to the door. Suddenly, he was engulfed by a huge smoke. Not really smoke but it's more like fog.

'Where- where am I?' His feet start to unbalanced. He can feel his feet start to become jelly. 'What is this?' Aesop's vision starts to get blurry before he follows the footsteps of his brothers, his feet already numb and his vision starts to become blurry and dark. He could not see his brothers anywhere. He just can't see a clue of his surroundings.

Within a minute, Aesop collapsed onto the floor. Joseph picked him up and sprinted for the village exit. He wanted to see him, just this time. The steps then stop as Joseph see a quiet street. 'Perfect' He went to the streets and see that there is a bench. Putting Aesop on the bench, he waited a few moments for Aesop to regain consciousness.
