Blossoms on fire

Chapter 41

EDITED

It passed a week since the day we got home safely.

Noor forced me to move into his chambers. I complained but he forced me to.

Now, I am in my new room. It is for me a bit uncomfortable. I remembered about my mum's room, I miss her so much. To be here it brings back so many memories. Memories which are placed in this place. Mum and me together.

We played together, we ran together on the meadow, we wreathed. We spent times with each other. I did not have friends, I have my mum.

I was in deep sadness when Elle comes in.

'Miss.' she calls me.

'Yes.' I say but I am still looking on the ground. The tears are flowing to my cheeks.

'Miss...' she says again.

'Sir, he told me he wants you to go to his office. But I can tell him you do not...' she starts.

'It is okay Elle. Please do not tell Noor.' I say.

'I will not.' she says but I felt sadness in her voice. If Noor notices how sad I am and he will not ask me or I will not answer he surely will go to Elle for answers he is looking for.

'Elle, forget about it.' I say.
I start leaving the room but before I did it. I turn around.

'Thank you for the message. Elle.' I say and I leave.

I am going forward and then I twice turn right. After two minutes I am standing in front of his office. I lift my arm to knock but before I did.

'Come in, Leonora.' he says.

I open the door. he was sitting in his chair. His eyes are focused on mine. I can not make it. So I focus on the ground.

'Come closer, Lea.' he says.

I did as I was told and came closer to his desk.

'Lea, sit.' he demands again.

I sit on the chair which is opposite to his.

'Are you avoiding me or do you not feel well?' he asks in a low voice.

'No, why do you ask, Noor?' I ask him.

'It has been three days you were closed in that chambers.' he says.

I look at him. He noticed it.

I am quiet. I do not want to talk about it.

'Lea, I am talking to you.' he says quite angry.

'I am sorry, Noor.' I say.

'Answer my question.' he says.

'Both.' I say quietly.

'I did not hear you.' he says.

'Both. I was avoiding you and I do not feel well too.' I say.

'Why were you avoiding me?' he asks.

'Do not tell me it is because of the change of the chambers.' he says.

'That is the reason I do not feel so well.' I answer.

'I am waiting, Lea.' he says.

He is already angry with me. So do not make it worse, Lea.

'When we returned you left to check on your mistress. Then you did not care about me. I thought that you came to save me because you wanted me to be next to you. But if you do not want to be around me say it. 'I say.
