Marchio's Plea Part 2

Heka opened all the kitchen cupboards one by one to look for cinnamon. So far, he didn’t know anything about the kitchen, especially when it came to cooking. Because his mother always prepared whatever he wanted to eat.

Nowadays, he has lost it all. He had to start all over from begin. This was also the beginning and the first time he opened the kitchen cupboard. However, he was not stupid. So he can recognize all the things in the kitchen.

He was just looking for cinnamon, but he saw that the kitchen looked so messy. He realized that what he was doing was just messing up the kitchen. What could he do? The important thing he had to do, it was to find cinnamon.

After he opened all the cupboards, he didn’t find any cinnamon at all. It meant that he had to go shopping. Before, he opened his phone first to make sure that he had the remaining money.

“There’s still a lot…” Finally, he could breathe a sigh of relief because he had enough money to survive. Since his mother’s death, he chose to be off for a while.

Then he saw a list of almost 50 phone calls. It was Clancy. He had been in the immortal realm all this time. He did not look at his phone at all during that time. The month had changed. Even so, he had only been in the immortal realm for a day. Unexpectedly, when he came back it felt like more than a month.

He immediately hung up the cell phone and ignored everything, even Clancy. This time, he had to rush to the convenience store. He would take care of everything after he finished what Marchio asked.

Before, it seemed like Heka had to clean up her kitchen, which looked so messy.

***

After he bought everything that he needed at the convenience store, he remembered other things he had to buy too. It was an oriental lily flower. He decided to buy the flowers at a flower shop that he met on his way.

He stopped at a flower shop and went straight to the shop owner. “Excuse me, I’m looking for oriental lilies…”

He noticed the figure of the owner. It seemed like he had met her. But he didn’t remember. Meanwhile, it was completely meaningless because he just wanted to buy flowers. Nothing more. Besides, he would not buy flowers for a long time.

Whoever she was, he didn’t care because the owner didn’t remind him either. In fact, he was very friendly and welcomed Heka warmly. “Okay, how many stalks do you need?”

 “Whatever.” The answer was short. Moreover, Marchio did not give him any instructions on the number of flowers needed to make a candle.

The owner kept silent for Heka, because he gave an uncertain answer. “Maybe one banquet.” He was also not sure how many flowers he needed. However, he hoped the owner understood what he meant.

“Okay, wait here a moment,” the owner said, and left Heka alone.

While he was waiting for the owner to come with flowers, he walked around. He looked at all the flowers. Occasionally, he looked at his watch. He had been waiting for fifteen minutes and complained that it was taking too long. “What does she take so long?”

As time went on, Heka became increasingly angry because he was too bored with waiting. He looked at his watch again. He waited half an hour. He felt this was outrageous.

“Okay, five minutes more.” Finally, he decided to wait another five minutes. If the flower owner didn’t show up, he just left.

A while later, a car stopped in the middle of the flower shop. “Seems like there’s a new customer.”

Heka saw Ansel get out of the car. His body was covered in bandages. He was very curious about what happened to Ansel while he was in the immortal realm.

He watched Ansel walked towards him angrily. “What’s wrong with him?” Heka wondered why Ansel looked so angry. He felt that his expression was directed at him.

Heka couldn’t understand at all. What did Ansel make angry? Even though, they didn’t  met for a long time. Heka also didn’t do anything to harm him.

Then, he suddenly remembered that the owner was the person he had met at Ansel’s house. He didn’t remember her well before.

But, she seemed to remember Heka clearly. Then, he told Ansel about his presence. That made Heka furious. “The hypocrite, fuck it!!!”

Heka didn’t know the flower shop owner at all. Did she do not. Even though he knew Ansel well, he shouldn’t snitch to Ansel.

Ansel was standing right in front of him. It was clear that Ansel didn’t like to see him at all. However, he tried to act as if nothing had happened. “Ansel…”

Without another word, Ansel immediately hit him hard. He fell down to the ground. The surrounding flowers were a mess.

As he expected. Ansel’s anger was shown to him.

Ansel’s hunch was very hard and caused him pain. He held his cheek to endure the pain of the hunch. Heka didn’t know why Ansel suddenly angry and hit him.

The owner came out. She saw Heka who had fallen and was injured. “Ansel, what are you doing!!!.”

Heka felt betrayed. Although, it was clear that she was the one who called Ansel here. But, she pretended to sympathize with Heka.

“He deserves it.” Ansel said.

Ansel’s words felt very harsh to him. Heka really didn’t expect that Ansel, who he thought was soft-hearted, could actually do something so rude to him. Moreover, it was for no reason.

The owner offered to help him. Of course, Heka refused. He didn’t need sympathy from a hypocrite like her.

Meanwhile, Ansel immediately turned around and just walked away.

All this time, Heka had a bad feeling about Ansel. He tried to keep his distance from him.

Therefore, he did not say everything that had happened to him. It was Ansel always urged him. He asked Heka to tell him whatever happened. However, Heka found it difficult to do.

And his hunch was confirmed. Maybe it was a sign not to have anything to do with Ansel anymore. After all, someone new had come to him, Marchio. He felt that he could indeed trust Marchio. He also did not regret being willing to do everything Marchio ordered without any objection.

“This is your flower.” The owner gave him a bucket of oriental lilies.

“How much?” If Heka didn’t need the flower, he would never take one flower from that place.

“You don’t need to pay. You better get out of here immediately.” The owner said harsh things to Heka and just threw him out. So, he walked away.

After what happened that day, Heka had to remember it clearly. Especially the owner, and also Ansel.
