HE/HEROINE AND MY VILLAINESS
(FINDING YOU)
"Young miss? Why are you out here? Are you done eating your breakfast already?" Mary, ask upon seeing me walking through the hallway alone.
"Oh, great, you're here. Where is Sir Aloit? Has he arrived already?" I ask, not answering her question.
"No, he's not here yet. Why? Do you have an urgent matter to attend to?"
"Oh, is nothing. I want to paint all of a sudden," I respond, smiling.
"Paint? Are you okay, Miss?" Mary asked, looking at me with concern,
"Yes, I am," I answer,
"You only paint when your sad, happy, and bothered about something. But right now, you look stress and down,"
"Uh, right? Don't worry, I am fine," I assure Mary.
"Okay, uh, Miss? I want to ask you something," Mary mention,
"Oh, okay. Go ahead," I reply,
"The other day, you mention you miss her so much. May I know who is that person?" Mary asks, and I got speechless for a second.
"Oh… that? Oooh-hahaha-um ahem! I remembered some of my memory the other day and recalled that someone I know before, but she died already, so," I answer, lying, with a forced smile.
"Oh… I'm sorry I ask, miss," Mary said with a sad expression.
"Is fine, you don't have to feel sorry about it," I mention, but she still looks at me with doubt in her eyes and a sad expression.
"You must have been lonely back then, miss. I am sorry for not noticing it," She said, then cry in front of me.
"Uh-Mary… Je," I don't know what to reply,
"Miss, I am sorry," She keeps apologizing as she cries then hugs me tight. I deep sigh and caress her back.
"I am fine now, Mary, you don't have to worry," I comfort her with words.
"Do you want to meet that person you miss so much, miss?" Mary asks within her sobs, and I break our hug as I look at her with curiosity.
"Can I?" I ask, impatient,
"Yes, miss. There is a way," She replies, wiping her tears away,
"What is it?"
"Through the help of soul expert," Mary mentions,
"Is there such a thing?" I ask, surprised because I didn't expect that thing here inside the book. I mean, back in my previous life, there is such a thing as that, but here? Unbelievable.
"Yes," Mary responded.
"Uh-Mary, she has not died yet. She is only don't want to see me, sorry I lied," I confess,
"WHAT? But why you lie, miss? You are cruel," Mary cries once again,
"Uh-ha haha, sorry, but is there a way to locate where that person lives right now?" I ask, stopping her from crying more.
"Yes, there is," She answered, stop crying and wiping her tears away.
"What is it?"
"Through a fortune teller," She answer,
"Fortune teller? But they only predicted the future not finding someone," I respond,
"No, this fortune teller is born with a rare gift that can look through everything," Mary answer, and I felt happy upon hearing it.
"Are you sure?" I ask for assurance.
"Yes, I am," She replied, and I nod.
'Alda, at last, I am going to see you,' I thought, excited.
"Then where is this fortune teller located?" I ask,
"At the countryside of Voldrone," Mary mentions,
'Voldrone? The name sounds familiar,' I thought,
"Is that the Duke land?" I ask,
"Yes, how come you know that, miss?" Mary respond,
'Oh, right? I almost forgot I lost my memory Je Je Je. But the Voldrone land is owned by Duke Thranduil, Cathlen, father,'
"Oh… uh… I read it in the historic book earlier," I answer lying,
"Oh, I thought your memory came back already," She replies,
"Uh-no. Do you want me to gain full of my memories, Mary?" I ask,
"Of course not," She answers, and I giggle.
"Right,"
"Vendia," I hear Sir Aloit's voice, and when I turn around, it is him.
"Sir Aloit, you arrived," I mention, smiling.
"Yes, sorry, I'm late today because my wife had an urgent issue," Sir Aloit mention, and I nod.
"Is okay, Sir Aloit," I respond.
"What are you two talking about, just now," Sir Aloit ask,
"Oh, the miss wants to find someone she misses the most because she wants to meet her again," Mary beat me from explaining to Sir Aloit what we talk about an hour ago.
"Oh, the one you, the other day?" Sir Aloit ask,
"Yes," I answer,
"Ah… Can you tell us about this person? Do we know her already?" Sir Aloit asks,
"Well…" I got stuck. I didn't know what to reply at the moment as I look at them, feeling uneasy.
'What should I say to them? I don't know what to reply yet,' I thought,
"Is okay, don't pressure yourself. If you don't like us to know about that person yet, we understand. We can wait for you to open up to us about it," Sir Aloit mentions, and I deep sigh also relief, then I smile at them.
"Thank you for understanding, Sir Aloit," I respond,
"So? What is your plan?" Sir Aloit ask,
"I told her that there is a way, and that is through a fortune teller," Mary mentions,
"Oh, yeah. Mary is right," Sir Aloit agrees.
"Yes, uh… but the fortuneteller is located to the Voldrone land," I reply,
"WHAT?" Sir Aloit got shocked, and I giggled at his reaction.
"Ha hahaha, we had the same expression, Sir Aloit," I said.
"The Voldrone land is far from here. It will take two days to get there," Sir Aloit mention,
"Right, so let's just forget about it," I respond, smiling at them, but they only showed me a sad expression, and I deep sigh seeing their reaction.
"We will go to the Voldrone land," Sir Aloit mention, determined.
"WHAT? Are you sure?" I ask, stunned.
"Yes," Sir Aloit answer, smirking.
"Oh, but what about the Master and Madam?" Mary mentions, and I look at Sir Aloit.
"Don't worry, I will find a way and an excuse," Sir Aloit responds, winking at us, and I smile full of gladness.
"Thank you, Sir Aloit," I reply, and Sir Aloit nods, smiling.
'Wait for me, alda. I am coming, we will meet soon,' I thought, happy.
