6. When a Flower Bloom in Darkness
820 Words
So many thoughts in her mind, she was walking blindly on the road.
Tired.
Eyes full of tears.
Confuse.
She knew she will never forget this day. But the only question in her mind was...
'What The f**k just happened in the park?'
But the thought of the man make her feel betrayed, but she doesn't even know him.
Another cold wind hit her and she stopped walking, took a deep breath and exhaled.
'Now think clearly girl' she thought to herself.
'What to do now? where to go? it's middle of the night.......*she sighed* ...... First I have to get rid of this gun', she thought as she look into her purse.
'Next I have to find a place to stay, but where?' she took out her phone and started checking the contact list, she stops as a contact came to view 'Moly's Bakery.....yes Miss Moly will let me stay' she dialled the number.
*ring ring ring ring*
Miss Moly: Hello? Rosa dear why are you calling so late? is everything ok dear? why didn't you come to work today?
Just as the phone answered Miss Moly started asking so many questions. A kind old lady she was and loved Rosa very much.
(Yes , Rosa is our main character's name)
Rosa (Our main character) : Hello Miss Moly.... sorry for calling you so late.... I'll answer all your questions but first I need a place to stay tonight. Can I.....
Before she could finish her sentence Miss Moly started asking.
Miss Moly: Oh dear, you don't need to ask. Offcourse you can stay here. Where are you now? I'll come to pick you.
Rosa: I'm near your house. You don't need to come.I can co.....
Again Miss Moly didn't let her finish. *Rosa sighed*
Miss Moly: Are you sure dear? it's so late. Please be safe child.
Rosa: I'm sure Miss Moly. I'll be there in 10 minutes. bye.
Miss Moly: I'll be waiting dear. Bye.
Rosa cut the call...a tear fall from her eye...Miss Moly always remind her of her dead grandma... sweet, selfless, kind and always have her back. She always felt home with Miss Moly. Miss Moly told her many times to stay with her as the place Rosa lives is not an ideal place for a young woman to stay. But Rosa always rejected her as she has to take care of her family and support them.
Miss Moly also told her to call her 'Grandma Moly' but Rosa didn't. Because she was afraid to get too close to her, she was afraid to loose another grandma. But not calling her grandma doesn't change the fact how much she loves her.
Just like she said, within 10 minutes she was in front of Miss Moly's house which was in back side of the bakery. Taking a deep breath she prepared herself to get showered by Miss Moly's thousands of questions. She ring the doorbell. Within 10 seconds the door open and in front of her standing Miss Moly in her night dress.
Miss Moly: Oh dear come in come in. It's freezing outside.
Yes it was freezing outside but the trouble of the night was too much for her to make her feel the weather.
Rosa smile faintly. She walk in side the house.Small but cozy. Just as she thought..
Miss Moly: What happened dear? why your clothes are like this? blood? is it blood? where are you bleeding?
Miss Moly starts panicking. Rosa turn towards her and hold her shoulders.
Rosa: Calm down...I'm fine, nothing happened. I was coming to work and a dog got hit by a bike so I took it to hospital. It's not my blood Miss Moly, see? Take deep breaths.... Deep breaths...
She lied, she lied because she doesn't want Miss Moly to see her family's true colour.She doesn't want Miss Moly to pity her. She doesn't want Miss Moly to get hurt, this old lady loved her too much. She doesn't want to break down in front of her. So she lied.
Miss Moly: If...if you say so dear. But....but you have to change your clothes and ...and shower...... I'll prepare a warm bath....and ...and...
Rosa: Shhhhhhhhhhh........ I'm okay, I'm okay.... everything is good. I'll prepare my bath. Can you please find me some clothes?
Miss Moly: Oh...okey dear.... I'll find you clothes.
Miss Moly left for her bedroom.Rosa went upstairs for her bath.
*30 minutes later*
Rosa is laying in the guest room after taking her bath and wearing Miss Moly's late daughter's clothes. 'Life.... can be so unpredictable....' she thought and close her eyes. 'The man's' face flash in front of her eyes. She quickly open her eyes.
'He must have some mental health problems.....yes..... middle of the night hugging an unknown women and those words he said.....he must've some mental problem.'
She sigh and close her eyes ' but those eyes.......'
To be continued.........
