The Stone heart of her

Chapter 4

I saw him pout. he’s cute if he can just dress up.

It’s only seven o’clock in the evening so the mall next to this Café is still open.

“Let’s go?” I smiled when I was with him so he got up and went with me inside the mall, at first I saw the two guards with suspicion, and the people looking at us. But I don’t have a pack.

“Oh you’re close to me, don’t go away.” I promise the boy, because he’s really moving away and he’s not wearing any slippers!

“Because your clothes are white and I might get dirty.” I laughed and pulled him hard.

“What are you okay with.”

I bought him clothes and shoes first even though he didn’t say that the happiness was obvious on his face. Then we went straight to a fas food restaurant.

And I can still feel the looks of the people here inside but I just don’t pay attention.

I still feel his need while we eat.

“What’s your name?” I will ask.

“Buboy…” He replied.

“Where are your parents?” I saw the sadness on his face. I shouldn’t have asked. That’s confidential

“They left me.” I haven’t asked yet, he still followed. “They’re both in heaven.” I can’t help feeling sad for him, I feel sorry for this boy. That’s why I’d rather just keep quiet than ask questions.

“Are you sure I’ll just leave you here?” I asked worriedly here where I first saw him earlier.

Now his smile is really wide.

“It’s okay sister, thank you very much.” He happily promised while holding the paper bags that contained the things I bought with him.

“All right, as long as you’re careful, right?” Even though I didn’t want to leave, I left, I didn’t know his whereabouts because he didn’t want to tell me to just leave him there in front of the cafe.

It’s really nice to feel that you can make a child like Buboy happy.

That’s why I came home with a smile.

Before I could get in the car I had sticky notes glued to the door. I picked it up and read.

“You really love kids, butternut.”

Looks like I don’t have to guess because I already know Who he is.

I crumpled it and just threw it somewhere.

To be continued…

Chapter 3

CHAPTER 3 (I)

I was about to sleep when I noticed Maria Alyana who was still working on her laptop, actually it’s been a week and I’m still not tired of budgeting because of the windy Chaos. He’s always pestering me, not a day goes by that he doesn’t bring flowers. He brought all kinds of flowers because the flowers of the dead were missing. Try me, and he will be picked up on the ground.

I turn my gaze on Alyana who’s busy in her laptop. I feel pity for her, but maybe it’s okay because the true color of that Italian has come out. But Alyana loves that Italian guy so much.

“Go to sleep, it looks like you’re done.” I said while looking on her laptop, she’s doing her powerpoint presentation. If I know her mind is flying to Italian again.

“It’s okay, I’m still not sleepy.” She said lazily without looking at me.

“Do you remember that Italian again?” I asked, I saw her sighed heavily before answering my question.

“I loved him so much.” I could feel the pain in her voice, she’s really hurt.

After a while she told me about it, she almost gave up her virginity! Fck! And worst that Italian guy has a wife! he even made Maria Alyana look like a mistress! Oh God! Did I mention that men do no good! They will love you only because they need you, not because they love you without a purpose. Pathetic!

“It’s really good to come because you’ll probably regret it.” I said angrily.

“I know it’s just hard to believe that he’s like that after what he did good things to me. I can really say that he’s a gentleman.” She made a sad promise. I want to scold Alyana for what she did, but it’s not her fault that she’s weighing more because she just loves him. Love doesn’t really hurt, it will really hurt you. So I don’t really believe in Love.

“That’s really how the men are, at first they were good.” I said and rolled my eyes, she laughed I said.

“Wow! Are you dating yet?” She asked sarcastically, I nodded.

“Not my priority.” I just have a short answer. What? They are not on the list in my life.

“There’s a lot of guys trying to Court you, you don’t want to. Hello? You’re 24 so you’re allowed to have a boyfriend.” Yeah she’s right! But I don’t give a damn, it’s just a headache men have more demand than women. And I don’t believe that men can truly love.

“But I don’t want.” Shrug my promise, call me manhater but it’s true. Indeed

“But the Actor really never stopped flirting with you! You’re terrible! That’s Chaos Ethan!” I immediately noticed my face, as if I care? That’s why I’m being tattooed, because maybe I’m the only one who isn’t touched by the wind! Never!

“I don’t like being too arrogant!” And feeling handsome!

“He’s famous yet, he’s flirting with you.”

“Go to sleep now.” I rudely said, then I lay down myself in my bed. I have no intention of answering Maria Alyana.

“Nasty! Goodnight!” I didn’t bother to say good night with her, as long as I get annoyed when I hear the name of that taxman!

I remember my mom…

Mommy always locked herself in the room and always hugged daddy’s clothes. I always saw her crying, and I hate myself for not doing anything. There was nothing I could do to get rid of mommy’s pain.

Mommy didn’t seem to hear me, and she continued crying while hugging dad’s shirt before.

I turned around when I felt tears again. My routine before is always like, I will invite her to eat but I just seem to be talking in the air. I didn’t receive any answers from her.

I used to go home with 100 grades and always have honors, but mom don’t care about it. It’s sad.

Dad, why are you so selfish? Why did you suddenly leave us?

Ever since Dad left, it seems like I’m the one who stood up for Sherina’s mother, because of mommy’s condition, she can’t talk anymore. She only eats if nanny brings food with it.

One time she shouted at me, she didn’t want to see me anymore. I was in so much pain then. I insisted, I insisted even just for Sherina and me.

I feel that she want to say that this is my fault.

Sherina needs me, and I miss my little sister. I call her in her number.

After a minute she answered it.

“Sister.” I wiped my tears away and smile.

“I love you sister Shaina…”

“Where are you now?” I asked Sherina, who I was talking to on the phone. I’m going to the hospital.

“My sister is still at home. I’ll be in this afternoon.” Sherina is in Grade 10 now and she’s graduating. She’s living under my aunt’s roof.

After our mom died, yes mommy was gone. After a month daddy left us then. Mommy committed suicide. We found her hanging in her room. She did that without leaving a letter. She left Sherina and me, not even thinking that she had a child. Yes I am angry with her but I am very angry with my father.

Sherina and I wouldn’t have lived like this if it weren’t for him. Aunt Amanda was the one who took care of Sherina then, who was mommy’s sister, auntie was an old lady because we were not an obstacle for her. She was like my mommy.

Dad once went to mom’s hill but I was numb and just let him go. The thickness of his face that he was carrying with his mistress!

Until now, I really hate him!

I wiped away my tears, because I’m driving I don’t want to die first. Sherina needs me.

“I’ll come later.” I said.

“All right, be careful.” I no longer answered and turned off the call, I put my phone on the dashboard.

When I get to the hospital and after being parked by the guard, I will enter.

“Oh ma’am!” I stopped when the guard called me.

“Why?”

“Wait a minute, someone will give it to you.” At the same time, he reached for a paper bag.

“It’s too early.” I promised and turned away.

“But ma’am…” I didn’t finish the guard and directly entered.

My phone vibrated because someone texted, I took it out of the pocket of my scrub suit.

Chaos:

“Why you gave to the guard? :(”

I just ignored his text and continued to walk, I knew he was just around.

He’s really crazy.

Exactly seven when I arrived at my office, I caught up with Jill who was talking on her cellphone.

“Did you watch Moonstone’s interview with showbiz actress aunts Mel?” Jill asked as I sat down.

I looked at my sched today, Thirdy is still my first one after 7:30 to take blood from him.

“I’m not interested.” My lazy answer.

“He’s serious! Did you know Aunt Mel asked Chaos about his lovelife!” She said.

“Then?” I have no appetite for questions.

“He said he was loyal to a woman since high school, even though the woman was rude, he didn’t want to give up on her.” Tsk! Not to aassume but it looks like it’s me. But I don’t care.

“And another one! He said he wrote a song for the girl! But he hasn’t released it yet because he said he wants the woman to first hear that song!” I gasped. Really? He was really wasting time.

“You know Jill is someone like him to be chased by a woman so it’s unlikely that there’s no flirtation right now.”

“So you agree he’s handsome?”

“No! I’m not saying anything that he’s handsome!” My defense. Nothing, right?

“Nurse Sha knows, there’s no problem if you admit it. We like Chaos a lot.”

“I don’t know about you.”

“It’s still obvious.” He was still pissed but I just shook my head.

I heard his voice again when Jill played the Moonstone songs again. I admit, Chaos voice was relaxing and cold. You will really be moved by his beautiful voice but that’s all I think.

“I will chase you ‘til it takes forever, Oh girl…” Jill sang along with the song.

I got up and went to Thirdy’s room.

I caught him playing lego on his bed.

“Thirdy!” I’m happy to great, he quickly turned around.

“Nurse Sha!” He responded happily so I approached him.

I did my usual routine every morning with him.

“Close your eyes and everything will be alright.” I smiled,

When I finished, I sat in the empty seat next to him.

I noticed a new lego on his table.

“Did your mommy buy it?” I asked while holding the lego box.

“No, brother gave that to me.” My forehead wrinkled, when I found out that Thirdy was only a child.

“Brother?”

“Yes, he’s such a kind nurse. And he told me not to tell you his name.” He smiled at what he said.

The boy was even taught to lie!

But even so, I’m still grateful to him. It was obvious on the child’s face that he was happy. I stroked Thirdy’s hair who was playing happily.

“Nurse Sha?”

“Yes?”

“Can we go outside please? I want to smell some fresh air. Besides, it’s been a long time since I went out.” I’m sad, he can go out but he doesn’t say just now.

So I nodded my head.

“Thank you!” He responded happily, I helped him sit in a wheelchair and adjusted his dextrose.
