Second Wish Before The Mirror

Tears

Its about half an hour pass noon when a black Cadillac entering the main gate of the manor and parking at the entrance. The sound from the engine echoed as if to announce its arrival.

Soon, a middle ages man coming out from the driver seat. He was the butler Hermen's son, Jones who works as a driver. His mother, Grace work as a maid and his aunt Alyse works as a nanny for their young miss. Their whole family served the Brown's. Nevertheless, the Brown's regard them as a family, having paid them well and giving them all that they are deserved. So at the end, they are paid back with their loyalty.

Jones quickly walk to the rear car and opened the passenger door to his young miss. Calista, who was ready to get off, put her leg out and stood up with her school bag hanging on her shoulder before walk towards the door. She look exhausted from all the activities in the school today. Mr. Hermen saw she's coming so he standing at the main door waiting to greet her as usual. As she walk close, he greet her politely.

The old butler is not a talkative person but he never missed to check on her everyday as if she is his own grand daughter. Calista smile sweetly to him and raised her head as she remember something “Mr. Hermen, will my father came home for lunch or dinner today?” Hearing that, Mr. Hermen thinking for a while and recalled something before answering her “I am afraid not Miss Calista.. Mr. Rupert had a meeting with the client during lunch and he had a dinner invitation for tonight, but if you had something urgent, I can deliver a message for you” Calista digest all the information she heard for a second and pout when she realize that the answer is no.

After she has refresh herself and change into her comfortable wear she's walk downstairs and get herself to the dinning room. She sit on the chair while Alyse busy serving her lunch. She ate to her heart content since Alyse serving her favorite dish. She then walk upstairs with her stuffed belly. She come into her room and close the door behind. A drowsy feeling kicks in and she mindlessly climb up to her bed. She plan to take her nap before finished her homework.

She is about to close her eyes, when a conversation that she heard earlier in this morning at her school come to her mind.“Did you heard about Tyson parents?” Bonnie a thin girl wearing an eye glasses ask her friend Helen in changing room. “Tyson? You mean the senior?” Helen ask with curious tone. “Yeah.. that one, I heard his parents are divorced and they are going to the court.. so, Tyson and his sister are going through a law for their custodian right.” Bonnie close her locker and face her friend.

“What a shame!! he must be feel embarrassed now.” “Yeah.. I heard his mother ask for it.. maybe she find a new man.. urghh.. I will kill myself if my mother do that.” “touch wood.. how will you be a mother if you leave your family like that.” “If I am Tyson, I will not forgive her. To be her child is a real shame!!”

Calista bit her lips. A sharp needles like feels pierced her heart. She feel the words are meant to her. Her mother never come to look after her since they are separated. She always invite her to another place rather than came here herself. Calista sure that her mother still love her and her father a lot but.. she didn’t understand why she ask for a divorce from her father two years ago.

The sound of people chattering from her memories resonated in her mind.. “She is the cursed child, that's why her mother leave her..” “Don’t you know that..? Her parents leave her in the old manor because of her cursed fate.. how pity” “They should buried her alive when she is born, but they don’t do it”

She close her eyes tightly, she felt her chest heavy and her throat tighten. She took a deep breath only when she start to feel suffocate. A tears flowed out like a stream. She wipe it off but the tears won't stop. She turn around when she feel her pillow getting damped. She really want to grow up quickly and leave this old manor. She want to be free and she want to do what ever she want. She's tired to listen the mock from others. ‘If only I have a chance to grow up quickly.. ‘ she whispers slowly. She let herself drown into her emotion. She hug herself tightly as it start to feel cold. She sobbing silently until she fell asleep.
