22 Chapter 21 (1/2)

He was 20 then and had been living with Old Mr. s.h.i.+n. He was busily tending the sunflower garden, planting the new set of sunflowers before the earlier batch withered. Sunflowers die after they bloom and he thought choosing sunflowers to plant on your garden was just foolish. It was the old madams favorite flower he heard so he could understand if he allowed her to plant them when she was yet alive. But now, he was left handling the garden on his own.

He saw a car pull up the driveway and noticed the chauffer get out of the car and a young lady getting out of the car wearing a pink top and denim shorts.

He didn't look at her as the old man wants the sunflower garden tended before the sun gets any hotter. So he worked in the garden all morning.

He finished in no time and went back to the house which by the way was refered to by the people as the mansion even if it was far from being one. He could never understand these rich people. Anyway he heard rumors that this house was gifted to the old madam by the old man. They dreamed of having a mansion of their own but he could only afford this house at that time. If the madam wanted a mansion then why didn't he build a real one when he already had the money in the world.

He could not forget his animosity towards the old man though he was his father's friend because he was the same one who caused his father's almost destruction. The mystery of love. Why can't people move on after being rejected? His young mind could not comprehend.

He went through the back door just as always and was about to go to the small room he is using beside the servants quarters when he heard a giggle. He looked towards the direction where the sound came from curious of the person who is making that angelic sound.

”You are not allowed to have a boyfriend yet, Pumpkin.” He heard the old man tell her to which she replied with a giggle.

”You are just jealous that your little girl has a lot of suitors around!” She replied as she rolled her eyes.

Her voice somewhat matched her looks. Her long locks shone even in the dimly lit living room. Her skin glowed and her eyes were like stars.

He suddenly jolted when she looked to his direction. Afraid she would think bad of him, he turned his face away from her and entered his room.

He was so tired he let his body fall on his bed and drifted to sleep while thinking of her.

He was awakened by powerful knocks at his room's door. He stood up and opened right away not surprised to see the old man standing outside his door.
