9 I find my malice disappear (2/2)
”Lower your voice . Will you ?”
”Uh.... how is father ? I didn't get to see him today ”
”He is fine . Much better than before . He is able to walk on his own now ”
”That's great news .... so ... can't you atleast say me a proper thank you ”
”Hmph ...what ? No way !”
”You !”
”That's your ability nothing special come on don't expect things like that from me ”
”I wasn't expecting anything ! Jeez .” They walk through the gardens and sit on the grass . Zen rests his head on Alisha's lap watching the clear blue sky .
”Take responsibility for the commotion the other day ?”
”Responsibility. .. Ah I see.”
”Hmph ?”
”No ... I just thought you would ask me something outlandish. ”
”If I did, would you do it ?”
”Ofcourse I won't Idiot !”
”Trust me there is a lot I want to do but I don't have the time . ” He let's out a sigh. ”Hey ! Make it rain okay ?”
”Hn... I told you that's not ... Hmmm you want to see it ? I thought you didn't like it ”
”I don't know myself . It's just that when it happens I feel at ease . I find peace but it also makes me remember stuff I don't want to . I find my malice disappear. ”
”So it is ... Listen why not lighten your workload a bit . You xan depend on others you know ? It must be stressful. It's not natural either ....so...”
”Alisha ! ”Zen frowns he straightens up . ”Don't tell how to do things . Who do you think I am ? It's none of your business ...” He looks her with a sharp glare .
Alisha looks aside .
”Yeah .. I though so ... ” She murmurs .
”I'm leaving ... I have to go ..” She looks at his back as he walks away .
”How should make his burden come down ? What should I do ? How to communicate him ? Will he ever let me peek into his heart .. its still a mystery . I don't know how to do it ... it just makes it even more difficult . ” She goes to her room and sits on the marble attached to the window . The maids walk in to arrange her clothes .
”We are sorry to interrupt while you are relaxing . My Lady ! ”
”It's okay . Don't worry about it . ..” She goes towards the vase and thanks them for bringing them everyday . They look at each other.
”Well ... We are not the ones who pick them My lady ”
”Huh... ?”
”His Majesty picks them everyday . He says they might soothe you since you are living in this unfamiliar country . He actually told us not to tell you ... but.... ”
”What ?” Alisha looks at the flowers and shuts her eyes . She runs her fingers through her hair .
”Damn ...what kind of an idiot is he ? ”
