Crimson Daylight

Chapter 16

I have a simple philosophy. Fill what's empty. Empty what's full. And scratch where it itches.

Lunch came and flora brought my food, I thought I won't be having my lunch today? Hmm. Weird maybe father got his heart change? Cool for me.. But then again flora said the bad news.

" zerah, I sneak this little lunch for you, I was wondering if you were hungry."

" you sneak?"

" yeah? I sneak. Whats the problem with that young lady?"

" problem? Not at all, I don't mind really." please note the sarcasm

" hmm.. Dear, your father told all of the maid that no one will bring any food to you not until lunch is over."

" It means father never ordered anyone to bring any food in here. he wanted me to starve."

" by any means zerah, I don't want to intervene with your problem on your father but what did you do to him? He wasn't in his normal behavior. Like he was thinking, a very important thing. I heard from the maid that you had a fight with him this morning."

" yes. He was going over board in saying bad nothings on mother, I don't want to have a fight with him but he push me, I wasn't able to hold myself. I started to spat his wrong doings on his face, you can't blame me flora, any kid in my position would do that maybe even worst."

" then he slaps you."
She said, her eyes were distant and the looks she was giving was saying 'I'll punch who ever gets in my way.'

" calm down old woman, and hey! how did you know he slap me!? you just heard the maids and I'm sure the maids were outside the doors while were having our little argument."
She was giving me the look are you seriously asking me that?

" its all over your face! did you even check yourself on mirrors! Your face is badly bruised like two people slaps you at the same time.
You need to take care of yourself, do you understand what am I saying zerah?"

" yes, I'm sorry. I'll take more care on myself for you flora, but I cant promise that I'll be careful for my entire life *life can be so surprisingly fantastic we wont know when will be our deaths maybe tomorrow or today life is full of surprises and people won't know their Faith will start the day when they first open their eyes."

" wow. you never told me you were a great poet. sometimes, I wondered where did you learn how to make good poems and say! I thought you were the daughter of Aleo'nore y Obr'ei she was a great poet in her times. you need to enhance that talent of yours many people became powerful and influential because of their catchy talent. maybe you can be much more powerful than your father in the near future.."

" tsk. shut up flora, I wouldn't let myself fall into your trap saying sweet nothings. tell me flora, what do you want?"

" huh? what do you mean? I don't want anything."

she said while crossing her arms and pouting like a child.
