Tìyawn

Chapter 52

It was about a minute away from getting to eclipse, when Ronal brings Ma'eve back home.

"Hello father!" Ma'eve says, as she's in a jolly mood.

"Hello" Aonung replies without looking at her.

"Aonung look at her. She's waiting for you to look at her" Ronal says.

Aonung sighs and looks up, seeing Ma'eve putting her arms out to him.

"Ma'eve" Aonung looks at her sternly.

"I want to give you a hug" Ma'eve replied, pouting at him.

"You are not a baby anymore" Aonung replies.

She ignores him and hugs him anyways.

He stays still, not moving.

Not hugging her back, nor pushing him away.

"Your father said to eat with us tonight" Ronal says to Aonung.

"We'll be there" Aonung replies.

Ronal smiles but Aonung just looks away.

Ronal's smile fades, as she walks out the marui.

"Father, you are very much like a rock. Cold. Hard. You never move" Ma'eve says.

"The way it should be. It's the only reason why you're still alive" Aonung stands up.

"What do you mean by that?" Ma'eve looked up at him innocently.

"If I was not hard on you. If I was not the way I am now, you would have gotten into situations. Similar to your mother" Aonung says.

"Ah. I understand. You miss her, and you don't want to miss me too" Ma'eve holds Aonungs hand.

He looks down at her.

"I'm right here father" Ma'eve looks up at him and smiles.

But Aonung moves his hand away.

He hated it when she smiled. Because all she could think of was Tìyawn.

They were so much alike that it killed him.

"Mother is here too" Ma'eve says.

This angers Aonung.

"Do not say things that are not true Ma'eve" Aonung says.

"But it is true. She will always be watching over us" Ma'eve replies.

"Ma'eve that is enough" Aonung says in a calm but stern voice.

"Father you can let your feelings out to me. I'm here" Ma'eve says.

"Ma'eve I said that's enough!" Aonung shouts and looks at her, "why do you always do this? Hm? Why do you always go out of your way to make things so hard?"

"Father" Ma'eve's eyes became teary.

"I told you. Your mother left us. She does not care" Aonung says.

"Yes she does! She cares. You just don't want to admit it!" Ma'eve runs out the marui.

"Ma'eve!" Aonung calls out to her.

He walks out after her, seeing her running to Ronal's house.

"Ma'eve, get back here!" Aonung shouts.

But she continues to run forward.

She looks back, seeing Aonung's face.

She looks back forward and falls.

"Ma'eve!" Aonung shouts, as his eyes go wide open.

He runs after her, as she is sat on the floor, holding onto her knee.
