The Harmonic Silence

VI ' The comfort she needed '

When the two arrived in front of the door of the mansion, Carlo began to knock on the door. " Mama Latrice! It's me and Zach's guest. " then the door was opened quickly to reveal a short statured light blonde woman with warm blue eyes. " Oh Carlo! My sweet little boy! " She said in joy.

Nirvana watched the two hug each other warmly as the woman named Latrice looked at Nirvana with a warming smile " So this is the girl that my son is talking about, aren't you a beautiful lady! Come on in you two! " She gestured the two as Carlo gestured nirvana first to come in and she complied.

It's been 30 minutes past and Though Nirvana felt uncomfortable at how warm the woman is, she never felt any affection or motherly gesture in her life. She never had parents to begin with because they are long gone.

Gone and away from her.

And this made her heart clench in pain, no one knows what's the truth behind the facade of hers. Only her best friend knows this and she'd rather keep the cold facade than be a weakling and cry out like a lost and weak little girl.

But did she know that she is that little girl, wanting to be loved. And right now, she is hating how envious she is of Zachary for having such a warm loving mother. Everyone who are in the same position as her would love to have a mother like this and savour the moment yet she has nothing to savour the moment with except for Velliane.

Carlo began to look at the female who is very silent and staring at his best friends mother, he can detect the hint of Sadness, pain, anger and jealousy? Or was it envy? Either way, it's the same? Right? Confused, he began to think about he rumours he heard about this mysterious female.

Some of the rumours in said that Nirvana was abandoned by her parents because she was a no good to them. As much as he hates to believe in rumours, he was curious but he knows that it's a touchy subject to her and would rather wait for her to tell him if ever they become close.

" Kuya Carlo! " She heard a small voice of a boy as a mini version of Zachary would be giggling in happiness and ran towards the teenager. Carlo grinned and picked up the little boy and tossed him in the air and caught him back in his arms as the boy laughed with his innocent little  eyes twinkling in happiness.

Seeing this made Nirvana remind of her past as her eyes welt in tears, the pain in her heart worsened. Oh how badly she missed her little joy that made her happy back in those days. Covering her mouth, she couldn't help but a silent sob escaped from her. Couldn't bare letting them see her like this, she quickly stride away from somewhere in the mansion.

Her tears dropping into the floor as she cried and sob uncontrollably. The memories in her mind went rushing through her making her heart wanting to explode already from pain.

Young nirvana would be reading her book under the tree as she heard a familiar voice that stopped her focus and look at the direction to who was calling her, her face lightened up warmly with happiness. He had the same hair as her except his eyes are green. It was her little brother, crying as he held onto his teddy bear that she made for him. This frowned nirvana and placed the book on the grass beside her, standing up, she didn't bother to dust the grass off and went towards him.

As she was closer to the little boy, she carried him in her arms as her face etched with worry and concern " What's wrong Sean? Tell your big sister what's wrong sweetheart. " she said as she looked at the crying little boy, it made her heart drop to see him like this. The girl couldn't handle seeing him crying and it's making her heart clench in pain.

When the little one started to hiccup in his cries, he stuttered " I.. I killed big sisters Teddy. " then he showed her his teddy bear that has its arm ripped in half. Nirvana began to chuckle and placed a kiss on his tears " Don't worry, Big sister will fix Teddy. If she fixes teddy, you promise that you won't cry anymore okay? You made big sister worry there and think something bad happen to you, " she smiled warmly as him as the boy nodded his little head and wrapped his arms around her neck and cuddled her. Her heart warmed at his affection as she returned it also and placed a lingering kiss on his forehead. She loved Sean so much and he was her joy, he was her life. Nirvana couldn't help but be protective over her little sibling, the two are like two peas in a pod.
