MEND TO BE BROKEN

        “You? You’re the one I help last night?” I can’t believe I meet her again.

         “Uhuh.” She confirmed.

        “I can’t believe you’re now different from the girl I helped last night. It’s like you don’t even need a help anymore.” I said.

        “Nope, not anymore.” She said with a smile. “By the way I’m Erica, the only daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Hartfilia. My father used to run this town but then it was now on the wrong hand. My father will run as a governor this next election to make a difference.” She added.

        “Erica eyy.” I repeated her name.

        Pronouncing her name makes me fly unto the sky. Huh… it sound angelic.

     “Hey why are looking me that way? Are you daydreaming?” She said to wake me up from hallucinating again.

      “Oh sorry. By the way I’m Klyde Kyle Sebastian, the only son of Mr. and Mrs. Sebastian. My mother and I just move in town a week ago but my father stayed at Celestine City to work.” I introduced myself.

       “You’re the son of Mr. Kyter Sebastian? The one who made the Celestine town into a City in a Month?” she was shocked to know my family background.

          ‘I didn’t know that our race is well known everywhere?’ I said to myself.

          “Yup.” I answered.

           “Hey, can you tell me what did bother you last night?” I curiously asked.

         “Oh that, it’s nothing It’s just a boy” she answered. “Can we just continue eating and talked about other things beside that one?” she requested.

           “Ok.” I agreed. I knew that there were a scar left inside her on what happened last night the way she answered. I don’t want to push her to talk so put the topic in the different direction.

            “Can you tell me about this town?” I asked her.

           “I really don’t know everything even though I’m born here but in the beginning, back when my father used to rule this place, this town was nearly become a city. One day my father was mistakenly accused of stealing the fund for the construction of the new market. He was suddenly impeached by the town’s people. Mr. Aspar was elected as the new governor. After the election, the progress of the town didn’t move anymore. The town’s people wanted to retrieve the position from Mr. Aspar. The next morning we found dead bodies outside the Town Hall, Mr. Aspar wouldn’t tell the truth that he killed them to protect his position in town. Since then nobody wanted to fight against him and his dictions. That’s what I know, you can research the other information on the internet if you want, or I will just research it for you then I’ll be the one to tell you more about the town.” She said with a flattering smile.

        “Then why do your father wanted to fight for the position?” I asked

        “I don’t really know. I’m afraid for him but his love to this town was so big, so big that he will do everything to retrieve it from Mr. Aspar.” She said.

        There was a little bit dead air after what she said.

        “It’s already 12:30. I need to go to the library and start making my research papers for you, and beside you still have to coup up with your practice. Well then see you later Kyle, Nice meeting you.” She meet her goodbye.

        “Oh, yah. Me too, bye.” I smiled back to her.

        “You look more Handsome when you smile.” She cracked a joke but I know that she mean it.
