106 Rodora King (1/2)

Country P.

Lincoln's Residence

__

It was a sleepless nights for Rodora. She could not believe that her son, Leo was still alive and well. She kept thinking about the things she wanted to say to him whenever they would meet. She could not contend her excitement that was boiling inside her.

Rodora only wanted to see if her son is well and the other things were not that important. She wanted to ask him if he still hated them after all these years but she already knew the answer of it. She was hurt for her son.

Life is really unfair towards him and she felt that it was her fault. Because of her family, she was the one who caused it. She knew that living like normal should not be the one she should be dreaming but when Albert came into her world and showed her the way out, she did not hesitate to grab his arms and be in the world she's been living now.

Rodora knew that her father is angry with her and he will not stop until one of her sons will shed blood but she knew she could do something to not let it happen.

She packed her bags and she packed Alberts belongings.

She wanted to see her own father and send Albert to the hospital while she's gone.

That second night after Lyndon stayed, she could not sleep and she toss and turned in the bed. Albert was a light sleeper thus he was awaken by her movements.

”What's wrong dear?” Albert's voice rang behind her as her back was facing his.

”No-nothing dear... I just can't sleep. You should sleep now... We have to go to the hospital for your check ups... okay?” she said smiling. Albert just nodded and went back to sleep and embraced her from behind.

She stayed awake until four in the morning and when she slept, Albert woke up and stared at her. He could not understand why he has to do check ups in the hospital when he's perfectly fine. He got up from bed and walked downstairs.

He long noticed the restlessness of his wife and one thing that could placate her, is to make her food.

Rodora was left behind and soundly asleep while the man busied himself in the kitchen.

He rummaged the cabinets and cupboards to see things.

As he was chopping things, he lit fire in the stove and then he screamed.

Rodora was woken up by a scream downstairs and what awaited her is a total devastation.

”What happened dear?” Rodora became worried when she saw her husband not moving in the corner.

”Dear... I'm sorry... I... I...just want to cook for you... I... thought I burned the house... I'm sorry...” Albert could not help but shiver in fear while staring at the burnt section in the kitchen.

Rodora became speechless.
