Maid in a Mansion

CHAPTER 25

#ATrueDream

Eli?

It is really familiar but I don't believe that it was me after all.

"Do you remember this?" Bethany was giving me something

"This is yours" She said while giving me the name plate.

Eli Naru Cheshire

"You were the child of the bravest soldier of Anexton. In that time there was a civil war and I was found by your father but I was given to his friend"

He was giving me again another picture and I was shocked when it was registered in my head.

"He's your real father. You really love him that you wanted to turn into a boy because your father really wants it." Bethany was trying to smile at me.

"Your mother died when you're still young because she's sick. That's what I remembered because you're the one who said that to me" she was giving me another picture

"That was you and Lord Agathon. When you were eight and he was eighteen"

"Me and Lord Agathon?"

"Yes, that was the ceremony held at the endland of Anexton because your father was appointed as a personal bodyguard of Lord Agathon's family. I was there because his friend was invited too. That was the first time I saw you and I fell in love with you at first sight. I thought you were a boy before because you had a short hair and you are wearing a boy's suit. So I always followed you. I heard that your father will live at the extended house of the mansion together with you because you wanted also to be a soldier. That's why you became an apprentice of Lord Shon. I pleaded to my father that I wanted to become a soldier like you but I ended up as an apprentice of a chief maid. I always saw you and I noticed that you're not a boy but a girl" She was making a little laugh

She handed me a pink letter but it was really old

I LIKE YOU, LORD SHON
Those were the words inside the letter

"You were in-love before to Lord Shon, Eli"

That's why... Lord Lei was telling me that I am like Eli that Lord Shon knew before.
I gasped.

"You dropped your letter when you were running at the mansion and that's the time I knew about it and that was the time we talked to each other. Telling me that to keep your secret. We talked a lot about him and you wanted to tell him that you're really a girl. You were so excited. You were about to tell him but on that day Lord Agathon came to the mansion. That was his first time to come home from a long vacation and on that time he grew handsomely and tall."

Bethany gave me a wig

"What's this? "

"You used that when you wanted to tell Lord Shon that you're really a girl. But that was also the first time Lord Agathon saw you. He found out that we we're close that's why he always called me at his favourite place here at the garden of carnation. He always speaks about you and the more he shared his feeling the more I fell in love with him. But his eyes only set on you. You said that you will going to tell Lord Shon what you feel and I supported you. But.. "

"But?" I can't believe that I fall in love with that cold man.

"He left already when you're about to say it to him. He left with your dad for a very important mission. You were crying that time and the only person who makes you laugh was Lord Agathon. That was the time that I envied you. I wished that you were just a boy. You told me that you and Lord Agathon will meet at the port 1 because he wanted you to bring to another island. I was so jealous at that time so I didn't tell you that it was also the arrival of your father and Lord Shon. You went out with him and I followed you. Then, I saw you struggling at the deck because someone was trying to kidnapped Lord Agathon. I saw everything but I did not do anything. Lord Agathon protected you. But you were dragged outside of the yacht. I was shaking on that time and I don't know what to do. You were at the road when you run because there is someone will hit Lord Agathon's head. But you were hit hard by a car and Lord Agathon left alone in the yacht. There are many black men appearing at the scene. It was the private bodyguard of Lord Agathon. It was really a huge fight between the kidnappers and the bodyguards. I saw those men only bringing Lord Agathon's body but they left you alone. When they left I saw woman that was walking on that area so I tapped her and I didn't knew that she was a becoming a sister. That's why you end up being an orphan in Saint Catherine Orphanage with Ms. Emma. You had forgotten about your life. It was like you had an amnesia. Your father on that time was sicked. He got depressed when he didn't found you. I felt guilty. So I left my home and started to care for you but you said that I must go home but I was afraid so we end up going together. There I lived again with my father who was retired and became alcoholic. He remembered you but because of his addiction to alcohol he barely recognize you. You saw him slapped me in the face. He was really an abuser. So you decided to get me from him and you end up saying that I am your BEST friend." She cried a lot. I was too.

She gave me a picture and my mind started to remember it.

"This is... You" I said to her.

"Yes, that is my real face. I noticed that you didn't remember anything that's why I did the most terrible thing to you. I planned to see Lord Agathon because I'm really worried about him and I wanted to tell him something. When I came back with your face. He didn't also recognized you and he became deaf because of that accident. I heard that Anexton wanted a leader who is not deaf and reliable thats the time Lord Agathon's father adopted Lord Teron. I knew that Lord Teron was using Miss Bliss to ask all about Lord Agathon. That's why I don't like Miss Bliss. Years had passed Lords were coming here. One by one. That's the time I met Lord Gin. I just used him to make Lord Agathon jealous but it turn out to be negative and Lord Teron take me seriously, he was so curious about me and I was afraid when he said he will investigate about me. I had a feeling that Lord Teron is afraid of something from you. Until, I decided to tell the truth to Lord Agathon. But Lord Teron kidnapped me and put me at the cell. The one thing that I should tell was all about this and to give the key to open this box. Because this was full of your memories and the important memory of Lord Agathon. You need to remember your past. You need to know who did that to Lord Agathon" She bowed her head and cry harder this time. I can't speak. I was trying to sink in my mind those words that she said.

I didn't notice that I was crying too.

Bethany gave me a paper.

ALWAYS REMEMBER ELI THAT YOU WILL LOVE SHON ONLY... ONLY"

****

Ten years ago

"Where are we going?" I asked him

"To a place where all of your sadness will fade away" he was smiling so brightly to me.

He suddenly kissed me at the cheek

"Wh-why?"

"Hmmn? It is because I do really love you"

"I... I'm sorry but I am not in love with you"

That was my dream... When I got separated with him and hit by a car.

The dream that I always had wa-was really true.

The man that was with me was Lord Agathon.

I gathered all my strength but I fell

"Eli" I just heard Bethany's voice.

I just can't breathe properly right now. My memories it was like a puzzle it's started to assemble.

I don't think I can handle this all.

My dream is not just a dream but it really happened.
