Too Late

CHAPTER 3

"Go Allurie." I saw Resh holding a banner with my name on it. "Let's welcome our candidate number 2." The audience were screaming and shouting. "Good morning everyone. My name is Allurie Van. And I am 15 years old. Representing Gold-IV Thank you!" It's fulfilling to see how proud the people are. "Woah!!!! That's my girl. Go Allurie." Resh smiled at me while waving the banner. "See, I told you, You can do it. Congratulations Allurie." Resh hugged me tight. "Thank you so much Resh for trusting me." " My pleasure. So? Let's celebrate this?" "Sure." I smiled at her and she hold my hand. We arrived at sea food restaurant. And we already ordered some foods to eat. "You know what the graduation is fast approaching." "Uh... Yeah. And you're leaving right?" I led Resh with a smile so she wouldn't notice that I was sad. "Allurie. Don't be sad. I will just finished my college there, be at home and be with you. I promise." I saw her sincerity while saying that. "I know. I will wait for your return." We continued eating and we make sure that nothing left on our plates before leaving. "Allurie is it okay with you if I go home first? Dad wants to talk to me." "Okay. Don't worry I will just taking a bus to get home." "Good bye Allurie." Resh waved at me. And I started to wait a bus to get home. As I walking to go inside the house. I saw a girl waiting beside the gate. As I got closer, she became familiar to me. It's Servant Lovely. It's been a while since I didn't saw her.

When she noticed that there was someone behind her, she immediately faced. When she saw me, she immediately drew a smile on her lips and she hugged me tightly. "It's been a while Miss Allurie. How are you?" "I'm fine servant Lovely. What's the matter?" "I just want to visit you. I missed you so much Miss." I was touched by her effort. She only came here to visit me. "Are you still studying now?" "Yes, I'll be graduated my Junior high this time. "That's a good news." I just smiled at her as I don't know what to respond. " Let's go inside then? " I told her and I saw her smiling. "Nothing has really changed in this house Miss Allurie." "Yeah. Just like before, it was quiet." I immediately noticed the sadness in Servant Lovely's eyes. "By the way, what do you like to drink? There's a coffee and tea there." "I prefer a tea today." She answered while her eyes were busy around. I went straight to our kitchen to make a tea for Servant Lovely. In my mind, I shouldn't call her servant because she's not my maid anymore." When I finished mixing the tea I immediately gave it to her. "Thank you Miss." "You're welcome, Can you wait me here? I need to changed my clothes first." "Sure. Go ahead I'll just wait here."

I just smiled at her and I'll quickly walked into my room to get dressed. "Miss Allurie may I know who is with you here every day?" " I'm the only one here. Sometimes my best friend came here. Why?" " Aren't you sad or afraid that you're the only one here? " I'm not. I already used to it since I'm born. I know even if servant Lovely doesn't say it, I can see it in her eyes that she is so sad for me. She also witnessed all my sorrows when Mom and Dad were alive.That's why she doesn't wonder why I'm like this. "So up until now your'e you still mad at your parents?" " My parents can't blame me either for why I turned out like this." I faced her with anger and sadness. "I'm sorry Allurie I didn't mean to annoy you. I'm just concern with you. You've become my baby and you know I'm the only one who take good care of you since you were a little. So please understand me. " I saw the sincerity on her eyes and no respond from me because I don't know what to say. This is my first time hearing these words from her. "You may go now. Thanks for visiting me here." I saw the shock in her eyes but it immediately disappeared. "I'm really sorry. " While she's walking to go outside she faced me once again and a tear drops from her eyes but she wiped it and pretended nothing happens.
