EPISODE 01. Who Are You, Young Woman?
HEIDON'S POV
** Buenosera giovane maestro! ** someone shouted through the door of my room, trying to wake me up while concurrently knocking..
With a distraught expression, I opened my eyes because of the noise and the accountable dream I dreamed of.
** It's time for you to wake up, Young Master!Your breakfast is already ready. ** I heard of who, calling me Young Master.
** Will you please wait for me in the dinning table? I am going down later to eat my breakfast? Now please,will you leave me alone! ** I said scornfully, as I reached the towel.
' I'll just go and and take a shower, I lost my drowsiness because of that person's noise ' I complained while going inside the bathroom to take a bath.
After a few minutes of soaking in the water, I left the bathroom.I hurried to the wardrobe and wear my clothes before I went to the kitchen to eat my breakfast.Upon entering the corridors going to the dinning table,I saw five maids waiting for me.I gave them sweet smile, as I overpass in front of them. All of them bow down their heads,as respect to me that makes me feel shame.I don't want anyone of them to bow down when they saw me,but they insist every time I correct them.They would just say " It's our respect to whom we are serving for ,so please bare with us,Young Master Heidon. "
** It's our pleasure to have your presence again, here in the Dellvioz mansion,Young Master Heidon.We also appreciate and welcome you here in the Philippines, for the second time after four years that you're in KIA Italy. ** with a smile on her face, one of the maid said while we're going in the dinning room.
** You may now sit down,Young Master! ** the other maid said organizing the chair for me to sit, when we reach the dinning table.
** Here's your food, Young Master. ** with a smile,another maid said while putting the dish and rice on my plate.
I also smiled at them before I started eating. ** By the way,thanx for the food anyway. ** I said while chewing the food in my mouth.
Because I am too busy eating, I didn't even expect that Aunt Neida came. ** Raheidon Luther Bloodlane, sei davvero tu? ** a voice asked that made me looked back to see who called my name.
My suspicions was right,it was Aunt Neida staring at me,as if she saw a ghost.Hehe....I'm just kidding even though maybe it's rear to be true hahahah .Miraculously she was just not with Dayro, his naughty son.Maybe Dayro was having fun with the other maids,without him knowing that I arrived home.My arrival was a secret,so nobody knows except the maids and guards in the Dellvioz mansion.I warned them not to let anyone know that I am arrived home already.
She sat on the chair next to my seat while checking me from toe to head. ** How come you're home without us being informed Heidon, my dear? ** she inquired with a inquiry looks.
** Looks like we have a visitor Mommy! ** Dayro said to Aunt, not knowing who's the visitor.If I'm not wrong, he is referring to me, as he approached us with those two eyes staring at me. ** Are you really my brother Heidon? I thought you'll not come and visit us.**
** Yes I am.And you are my naughty baby brother. It's not that I'll what you think that I'll not come and visit all of you. It's just that I'm too busy due to my works in KIA Italy, that's why I have no time to travel here. I'm really sorry for not visiting you Dayro and Aunt Neida. Now that I'm here,we will do everything you want that will make you happy. But please,don't let me see those tears falling. ** I immidiately answered while wiping his tears,as I lift him up for him to sit on my lap.
** Sorry Seniora, if we didn't tell you that young master's home, because he said ........ **
** Ssshhttt....it's okey! I think I know his possible reasons already. ** Aunt cut off what the maid would say. ** It's been four years passed and Heidon has changed so much, that I didn't even recognise you earlier, not until I look at you closely. ** directly she continues what she says to me.
** Oh come on,Aunt Neida!Am I that handsome enough,for you not to recognise me? ** I said teasing her , as I put some food into Dayro's mouth. ** It's just four years, since I'm in KIA Italy! End then in my return you almost can't recognize me.Well,I may say that I inherit something good within our bloodline,Aunt Neida! ** I told her while signing looks to the maids,for them to remove the plates and other things that's in the table.
** Yeah! You did really inherit your mothers beautiful and lenient face mix with intelligence you inherit to your Dad,same as good hearts also. You do have all the good examples, but please use them in a nice way, my dear Heidon.**
I stood up with Dayro's presence on my arms because we're done eating already. ** Well,that's how strong my Mom's genes flowing into my handsome face,so I don't hesitate being one of her son,Aunt. So! No worries I'll be good in using all that I have in a nice way.** I replied to what she said.
** By the way Aunt,I will visit the Museum of yours for some important matters right now.If you have nothing to tell me then I'll go to the Museum with your permission,as the owner? ** I said waiting for her response.
** Mommy can I go with brother Heidon please? ** Dayro asked permission to her mother.
** Yes you may go with you brother Heidon,my dear Dayro.Mommy won't stop you going with your brother,unless he wants you going with him to the Museum? ** Aunt responded looking at me.
** Well,you'll go with me if that what makes you happy Dayro. ** I said jumbling his hair.
** Yehey! Come on let's go na brother Heidon. ** he said excitedly while pulling me out from the dinning room.With that situation, we didn't even say good bye to Aunt Neida.
After few minutes of walking, we reached the garage.There I let Dayro sit in near the drivers sit before I started the enggine of my car.The distance from the mansion to our destination is a little bit far,so we arrived in the Museum at exactly 9:30 in the moring.Well, we're not expecting that I'll be the center of attraction to be gossiped.
** Teh!Pogi naman ng porener na yon. ** I heard the woman in red dress said.Well,I didn't understood what she says because I'm not good in understanding their language here in the Philippines.
** Masasabi kong magiging maganda at guapo ang magiging anak namin ng porener na yon, 'pag ako ang pinakasalan niya. ** her companion said playing with her hair.
I saw the other woman tweaking the other woman,as if they are fighting. ** Shut up! Manahimik ka kung ayaw mong mawalan ng hininga.Akin lang ang porener na yon noh! ** the woman who tweak her companion said with a threat reaction.
** Come on brother Heiden! Let's go in the Museum,don't mind them fighting and gossiping about you.Because if you do stop them,we may be in big trouble ** Dayro warned me ,as he pull me in the Museum.
** Okey! Easy,easy you might bump.......**
** Ouch! ** Dayro complained when he almost bumped onto someone.
With reluctant expression,the little girl picked the picture frame that falls on the ground before she stood up. I don't know why,but then,I was stand. When I didn't purposely saw the image of a woman in the picture frame that the girl is holding.
** Hey brother!Are you okey? ** Dayro asked,worrying what's happening to me.
I gave them sweet smile to remove their worries. ** I'm fine. It's just that there is something in that image of a woman. Is she your sister? May I ask you something little girl? ** I interogate,hoping that the little girl will utter something.
** Tutal mukha ka namang mabait kaya sige....Was your westion kuya? ** she asked stuttering. ** She isat may ate. ** the little girl said.
Maybe she can't speak straight english that's why I'll just ask her with actions. ** Do you know who's the woman in the image? ** I questioned her reffering to the woman in the picture frame that she's holding.
** I don't know her name,pero idol ko siya because siya ay maganda at mabait. ** she replied before she run to her mother.
I just stared at her in a second before I look at Dayro's condition. ** Does it hurt? Next time don't do pull me again to like this place that's full of people or else you'll bump onto strangers again,Dayro.Come let me see if you have strains. ** I said reviewing his knees, if he has strains.After checking that he don't have strain and wounds, I carry still carry him going inside the Museum because I'm not that sure,if he don't have strains.
** Look brother Heidon! If I'm not wrong you already saw that portrait of a woman? ** Dayro said pointing at the beautiful young woman in the hanging picture frame. ** Maybe she looks more beautiful in person,brother Heidon! Why not find her, then ask her, if you and her can be friends? ** he said teasing me,as if he wants me to find that woman.
** I don't know how to find her Dayro. So for now, let's just ask who made the portrait of that woman, for us to know some information about her. ** I state looking for who painted the beautiful image in that picture frame. I thought that young woman in my dream is not real, yet all the belief I had in my mind was wrong.It's because the young woman is living the same in my world not just in my dreams.
** You're day dreaming again brother Heido!Are you okey? ** Dayro asked disturbing my silence.
** What did you say?Will you repeat what you said? ** I asked him because I didn't understand what he said.
** I said you're day dreaming again in the middle of the day,Brother Heidon.Are you that deaf or you're still day dreaming? ** he contributes when he repeats what he said to me.
** I'm sorry,it's just that something's bothering me.Come,let's go ask the man in the other side,if he knows who made the portrait. ** I said with a smile to erase his contributes.
There we saw a man looking at his hand made portraits. I and Dayro go near the man to ask something. But before that,I praised his portraits because all were nice and attractive.
** The portraits that you painted are so beautiful sir! If you don't mind,can I ask you some questions,sir? ** I asked waiting for his reply.
** Thank you for the good praised, young man.You can asked me anything except hard one's because I'm to old enough to think what will be my answers. ** he said fixing his things to be used in painting.
** Can I ask you something about this young woman in these portrait? ** I said , as I immidiately show the portrait that I captured using my phone to him. ** Are you the one who made these portrait? Did you personally paint the face of the woman,who was there, as a model? Do you know her name? **
He scratch his hair before he replied. ** Easy,easy you man! Yes,I am the one who made her portrait because I can see her lenient face that is suited for my portraits. She only told me her first name but not her middle name. **
** Wait!What is her name?What is her reason for not telling you her middle name? ** I asked even though he didn't finish talking.
** Relax, brother Heidon! You're frustrating the uncle's mind. ** Dayro said reminding me not to be in a hurry.
** It's okey little one.You're brother is just a little bit curious and excited knowing the young woman's name. The you woman's name is Naiviella ** the man said giving back may phone to me. ** Her reason for not telling me her middle name is because she don't want to be part of her father's middle name.That's what she told me before she left. **
** Well,she have a beautiful unique name. And maybe I know the reason why we're here at the Museum,brother Heidon. ** Dayro said,as if she know that my real reason is to find some clues about the woman in my dreams.
FLASHBACK In My Dreams
It's not that clear but I can see a young woman.She is so happy with me by her side.Yeah!I accept that she is the most beautiful and lenient woman I've ever seen and known.
** My love,can I kiss you? ** she asked with a smile on her face,as she kiss me .
** Yes you can my love. ** I said then I kissed her back. ** Always remember that you'll always be the one in my heart.In my eyes, you're the only light that can save me through the darkness.Stay be my side forever, then I'll protect you no matter what.Because I love you more than you know, my love. ** I state,as I kissed her forhead.
** What if I'm gone, will you still love me or you'll replace me to others, my love? ** she asked that made me wonder, yet I calm my self.
I kissed her forehead. ** No,I won't replace you to others, my love. You'll always be my only woman forever,so don't overthink to much. ** I said while messing up her hair.
** I'm thankful that I have you ,my love. But for now let me prepare our dinner. Please, sit here and wait for me. ** she said l,as she stood up leaving me with a sweet smile on her lips. But as she left,she was gradually disappearing. I called her name few times, but there were none shadow of her to be seen.My tears kept on falling at the same time,as the knocking and someone shouting at the door of my room woke me up. The noise woke me up from the reality, that all had happen was part of my dream only.
** Thanx for the information Uncle.And don't mind my brother,he is just some times like that. ** I heard Dayro said to the man. ** Come on brother Heidon! We need to go home na, or else I'll call the doctors to check if you have illness.**
** I'm sorry for the disturbance Unlce, but we really need to go. By the way thanx for telling her name! ** I shouted after leaving the man's place.It's good that we didn't bump into someone again. Within less than a minute, we reached the garage because of Dayron's attitude while pulling me outside the Museum, as if we are chasing a thief. Without hesitation, I started the engine of the car, as soon, as we both got inside the car. We left the Museum full of wonder and questions in my mind about what was said by that man.
