1034 Words
After dinner Father and I talk about my idea. Basically my idea was to make a wagon to carry the goods to the warehouse and a wheelbarrow for the collection of goods. This will help not only the farmers but also help the village gain more profit for minimizing the time for delivering goods.
"Where did you get this idea son? I know that your gifted because your my son but to think that your genius!"
Father I'm sorry it's not actually my idea but I can't tell father that this tools are from another world can I?
"I came up with idea father but I'm not a genius this is actually because you are my father so if there's someone who worthy of praise it's you father who raise me well"
"Don't flatter me like that son, come on it's late go to sleep and tomorrow we will begin to construct the tools that you just mentioned"
"Okay father"
After that I go to bed just like what father said but I can't sleep because of excitement. It's 1 am in the morning but I still can't sleep so I just think of the other things that might help the village to grow. As I was thinking of ways to help the village the next thing I knew was my mother waking me up.
Father was waiting at the dining table, he looks so happy is it because of my proposal last night?
"Good morning father" I greeted father as I was walking towards him.
"Oh here he is Good morning my genius son" father really likes that nickname he gave me didn't he.
"Is there anything I didn't know?" mother is looking at us suspiciously.
"Come on sit next to me dear and let me tell you how genius our son was" after father said that mother immediately sat besides father.
For this kind of era those kind of invention is important so I'm so thankful for the inventors who truly invented these tools, now I can help mother and father.
After eating father and I went outside to meet Mr. Solomon, Mr. Solomon is the greatest carpenter in our village.
"Oh Mr. Borbon good morning what can I do for our great Baron" Mr. Solomon greeted my father.
"Good morning, you can stop that kind of greeting we're friends so you can drop the honorifics" Father said.
"I know, I was just teasing you my friend" Mr. Solomon said and tap my fathers shoulders.
Mr. Solomon is a close friend of my father even when they we're young. He was as big as my father with a long beard and wearing a jumper almost everyday you can't miss him if your looking for the carpenter in our village.
"Good morning Mr. Solomon" I said as I bow my head.
"You little, are you teasing me to get revenge for what I did to your father? come here you little brat!" Mr. Solomon grab my head and lock it with his arm.
"Stop that we're here to talk to you about something" Father said looking at Mr. Solomon seriously.
Mr. Solomon immediately freed me from the head lock he's doing.
"Looks like there's a bad news base on your expression" Mr. Solomon said as he free me from the head lock.
"No, actually it's a good news" father said with a little bit of smile in his face.
"Then why are you so serious!, your making my heart raise with your actions my friend. Felix my daughter was at her room wake her up, the sun is up but that daughter of mine is still sleeping" Mr. Solomon said as he sat on a bench and starts to get his tobacco in his pocket.
"I can do that but why me?" I ask Mr. Solomon because this is the first time he ask me to wake his daughter.
"If I wake her up she will just turn around and won't listen to me, if her mother was still here that girl will be awake by now and helping her mother prepare the breakfast" Mr. Solomon said.
I can feel the sadness with Mr. Solomon's expression, his wife died about a year ago and it seems that his daughter change after her mother died.
"If she won't listen to you why would she listen to me Mr. Solomon?" I said as I don't know why would she will listen to me, she was angry to me for the past few weeks though.
"She was mentioning you this past few weeks so I thought that you two might be close or something"
"Close? Ahaha ( a little laugh ), you might be joking Mr. Solomon we're not that close"
"Just wake her up and I'm going to discuss something with your father"
Looks like I need to do this but what if she punch me or something, I can see her doing that she even can fight the bully kids here because she's strong from helping his father.
I am in front of her room now, how did I know thay it's her room? the door has a hanging plate with her name, one thing I don't understand though is why is it a pink door? aside from the name plate her door is the only one that's painted here.
I inhale then exhale before I open her door. When I open the door the first thing I notice is it's so colorful then there she is sleeping like a log. Her sleeping position doesn't fit in her room she's sleeping like a boy, she's not even align with her bed.
I was going to wake her up by going to her bed's right side where her head was when her eyes suddenly open. I was half way bending my body to tap her face when she open her eyes and our eyes met.
"Am I dreaming" She said while touching my face.
I don't know what to say in this kind of situation.
"Yes you are dreaming" I said hoping that she will sleep back again.
But my hope was ruined when she suddenly smiles then pulls my head as then kiss me.
