"I think it's high time I left Mola" I said, and my mom's eyes brightened in surprise.
"What are you talking about, Elsa?" She snapped, while I sighed and got up from the floor where I was.
" It's really a big decision but I really have to take it. I really need to leave Mola and clear my head" I said and, backed mom, as I felt pain while speaking.
"leave Mola? Why Elsa? You want to leave us behind for what reason?" She quickly asked. I rushed back to her and held her hand while she gave a confused and trembling look.
" No mom, I do not want to leave you and Maia behind, but I really need to leave. Staying here makes me think about the whole case with Armando and I can't seem to get it off my head. I really need to move away from the whole negativity. I need to go out so I can also take care of the family. Foes and friends do not stop throwing tantrums at me and after the death of dad, I have faced so much ridicule from even those I regarded as friends. The whole pain is too much on me" I whimpered, with tears flooding my face. Mom looked at me with tears in her eyes as well. She brought me closer to herself and enclosed me in a hug.
" I really do not know what to say to you, Elsa. You are young but you have faced quite a lot. I always see you when you cry late at night in your room and the whole pain also weighs on me. You have grown to be a courageous young lady." She praised me and grabbed my face and shook her head gently and tears rolled out her left eye.
" Mom, do not cry please. I can not handle seeing you weep" I said and dabbed the tears that poured out. she sniffled and kissed me on my forehead.
" And why shouldn't I cry , Elsa? The moon Goddess has been so unjust to us and treated us cruelly. I was so happy when we found out that Armando was your mate. I thought our whole suffering had ceased. He was so loving to you and to us as well. He was more like a son to me and always made sure that nothing happened to you. I still can't believe that he publicly rejected you as his mate", she said and broke into tears more. I grabbed her and placed her on the bed and wiped off the tears that covered her. After the death of my dad, she never cried but just locked up all her emotions and it got too much and she was letting it all out.
" Please mom, do not cry over the already spilled milk."
" Did he tell you the reason why he had to disgrace you in such a way at least? I have tried my best to unravel the whole mystery behind the disdainful act but then nothing plays right in my head." She trembled as she allowed her emotions to overwhelm her. Seeing her in that situation made my heart bleed more and also made my hatred for Armando grow more and more because of the fact that he was the reason my mom was in that state.
" That's the frustrating part about it, mom. He said totally nothing to even explain why he took such a drastic decision. I tried my best to reach him the next day at his house, but then I wasn't even granted permission into their mansion. I tried calling but still he did not even pick up my calls." I whimpered and got up from the bed once more, trying to contain my tears inside as seeing my mom's tearful face broke me the more
"And you are sure you did nothing to deserve such subtle treatment from him?" mom questioned and also got up from the bed, asked me with her stare.
"Of course not, mom, and that is the problem. I do not remember doing anything to deserve such treatment from him." I sneered and turned to her.
" I just know that he did not love me from the start and I am sure he never did from the start but only wanted to use me. I hate him so much and I am going to hate him all my life." I snarled and squeezed my fist so tight and my eyes changed to amber as I stared into the mirror.
"I really need to leave Mola so I can start my life afresh away from this negativity. I feel the moon Goddess always has a reason for everything and so I..." I said and stopped halfway.
" It's Okay Elsa. It is all going to be fine." She assured me and hugged me warmly, wrapping her hands behind me.
" So when do you intend to leave and to where?" She continued after we broke up from the hug whilst she wiped up the remaining tears that remained on her face and mine.
"Tomorrow, and to Visita City"
"Tomorrow? " she bawled in surprise.
..........
It was nighttime and I felt so restless in my bed. I tried sleeping but then the thought of Armano filled my head. The moments we shared together have stuck to my head. I moved from one point to the other. I arose from the bed and grabbed the jug filled with water and poured it into a cup. I drank it slowly till I emptied it but then still I couldn't get hold of myself. Maia laid calmly on the bed, sleeping peacefully.
l decided to go pay Armando a visit as it wasn't that late in the night. I left home and sneaked out of his house. I stared at the gate and couldn't get myself to go in. My eyes were filled with tears as the whole thought of Armando filled my heart.
"What are you doing here?" I heard a hoarse voice pour into my ears. I swiftly turned and jammed my eyes on Armando, who stood with a girl beside him.
"Armando??" I called out as I advanced slowly to where he stood.
"Go and wait for me inside '' He muttered to the girl who stood beside him.. She nodded slowly and then left, staring at me intensely with a scowl. Armando hung a jean jacket across his shoulders as he gazed at me .
"Can we talk?" I said as I finally stood in front of him. His face was so bitter and bold.
"(scoffed)aren't we talking already?" He snickered. I gazed at him and wondered how someone who was so loving to me became so cold.
"You have been avoiding me since....(Sighed)Nonetheless, I want to know the reason why you rejected me?" I said. He smiled before he spoke.
"OH, she wants to know( Began to walk round me and grabbed my hair softly) My dear Elsa, can't you read the boldly written words on the board? I do not want you anymore, is that so hard a thing to understand?" He roared and stared furiously into my eyes.
"But why? We were such a perfect couple and I thought the love we shared together was so unique, so what really happened, Armando? Please talk to me", I cried, and grabbed his hand tenderly.
" Thank goodness you said you thought we shared something. Unfortunately, you thought wrongly because I feel nothing towards you, my dear Elsa. You disgust me to the core and standing with you totally irritates me. Just take your sorry self out of here and go get yourself a life,b***h". He spat and turned to leave. His words sunk deep into me and I couldn't even cry anymore but grabbed his hand again in fury.
" I swear it Armanddo Luca, you are going to pay for this" I said and he pulled his arm out and walked away........
