Beauty of wilted leaf

Freya's~ “I have been trying so hard to avoid these wedding events as much as possible these days, Amelia.” *The chopping sound was louder than usual. In a cosy kitchen setting, a brown-haired lady stands with a focused expression and a slightly furrowed brow. She chops vegetables with precision on a wooden board, her apron tied neatly around her waist. The rhythmic chop of the knife contrasts with her determined, slightly angry face, hinting at an underlying frustration or urgency. “ Freya Bennett! Seriously? It's our university teammate. She called you specifically.” Adoria asked her with a tinning voice. “You know the reason better than anyone else. He might come there and I don't want to see him at all.” Freya halted the rhythmic slicing of vegetables, turning around with a gaze that held both intensity and beauty. Her brown eyes reflected a mix of determination and grace, framed by cascading brown hair. Despite the interruption, her features retained a captivating composure that added to the moment's intensity. Adoria can feel her uneasiness and slight anger but she couldn't help but to make her join back to the social life again. Adoria, her anger softening, looked into Freya's eyes and said, "Freya, it's time to stop dwelling on your previous marriage and divorce," Adoria advised, her tone gentle. "Focus on the present, embrace the happiness around you. The past shouldn't define your future. Let go, and let new beginnings unfold.You deserve a better life.” As Freya smiled, her gaze drifted down to the scar on her hand, a silent testament to the challenges she'd faced. Yet, in that moment, there was a sense of acceptance and resilience in her eyes, as if acknowledging that scars are part of one's journey. “ Sigh* Okay, but if I feel uncomfortable I will leave the Hall immediately and also, I don't want you to create any mess because of me on Iva's big day.”The corners of her lips curved into a genuine smile, signifying a step forward to see the future. Adoria, brimming with joy, wrapped her arms around Freya in a heartfelt embrace. Their bond strengthened by understanding and support, the hug conveyed warmth, acceptance, and the promise of shared happiness ahead. "Freya, we should go shopping for something special to wear to the wedding," Adoria suggested with enthusiasm. "It'll be a fresh start for us. Let's find the perfect outfits and make yourself happy in front of those insects." Freya, sensing the sincerity and excitement in Adoria's words, felt inclined to embrace the idea. Amidst their conversation, Freya's phone alarm sounded, reminding her of her impending work shift. "Oh no," she exclaimed, glancing at the time. With a sudden rush of urgency, Freya hastily gathered her belongings and hurriedly prepared to head out, apologising for the abrupt interruption. She asked Adoria to take care of the kitchen and asked her to lock the door before leaving for her home. While Freya rushed for work, Adoria took a moment to reexamine the indoor plants and peruse Freya's book collection. A subtle smile crossed her face as she appreciated the vibrant greenery and the diverse array of books, gaining a glimpse into Freya's tastes and interests.Reflecting on Freya's past and her evident resilience, Adoria felt a pang of empathy. "Such a beautiful soul shouldn't lose hope in love," she thought. Determined to uplift Freya's spirits and encourage a positive outlook, Adoria hoped to be a beacon of support in her journey ahead. Adoria channelled her energy into action. She began to cook the freshly sliced vegetables, infusing them with care and attention, turning them into a delicious meal as a gesture of support and camaraderie.Adoria paused, lost in thought, contemplating Freya's resilience. "What if I were in Freya's place?" she mused, pondering the challenges and the strength it must have taken. Admiring her friend's fortitude, Adoria felt a deeper appreciation for the bond they shared and a renewed determination to be there for Freya. “She is indeed strong!”. After cooking , Adoria packed those foods in one big lunch box and took that with her. When she was about to close the door, As she looked towards the balcony, a sleek black kitty gracefully entered the room, its fur contrasting beautifully with the surroundings. With curious eyes and a playful demeanour, the feline made itself at home, adding a touch of charm to the scene.Adoria's gaze shifted to the plant shelf, where she noticed a ceramic bowl and cat food neatly arranged. A smile tugged at her lips as the mystery of the visitor was solved. It seemed Freya was not only nurturing her plants but also welcoming a furry friend into her home. Adoria, with a warm smile, filled the cat food bowl while engaging in a gentle conversation with the curious feline. The exchange reflected a newfound companionship, creating a harmonious atmosphere in Freya's home. “Are you here to look for your foxy owner? She left for work. You missed her.” After ensuring everything was secure, Adoria hopped into her Chevrolet, the engine purring to life. With the lunchbox safely stowed, she drove off to her next destination, the open road beckoning with possibilities. As Adoria navigated the roads, her thoughts wandered back to the black kitty. "I wonder what the cat's name is," she thought, intrigued by the feline's presence.
