INNER TURMOIL
318 Words
In the early hours of the morning, my father and I had a tense conversation in his chamber. To my surprise, he was furious with me for bringing you to Uranus. He insisted that you must return to Earth, so that when the Pluto king comes to claim his prize, he will not find you here. This way, he will believe that our father never had a child with such incredible power, and his life will be spared.
Now, do you understand why I am reacting this way? My sister, I love you dearly and cannot bear the thought of losing you. If you are leaving, I will accompany you to Earth." Mellisando concluded.
Confused and shocked, Mellisah questioned her father, "Father, is this true? Ha! Is that what you did? How could you! I once believed that you loved and needed me above all else, but now I know the truth. You wanted me to stay here so that you could sell me to another king from a different planet?
Absolutely not! Your desires and plans will not come to fruition. I will depart for Earth with my children and sister, leaving you behind to face the consequences of your actions. We will do whatever it takes to reach our destination unharmed." She declared boldly.
In her final words, she lamented, "And finally, I extend my gratitude for the exquisite art of wasting my precious time, urging me to remain in this desolate place. Oh, how I could have departed long ago, reuniting with my kin on Earth, while we converse in this very moment."
Overwhelmed with emotion, tears cascaded down her cheeks, leaving an indelible mark on her soul. Meanwhile, the father seethed with a potent mix of fury, humiliation, and disgrace, a volatile concoction that threatened to erupt at any given moment. Rendered speechless, he found himself devoid of words to express his inner turmoil.
