Chapter 14 - LONDON BRIDGE IS FALLING DOWN...2

*Flashback*

"Mother, look, I designed this dress for you,"

"Go out!"

"I'm sorry..."

"Mother, are you busy today?"

"Yes, CHU!"

"Mother, wait, I have something to te- "Thud sound of a shut door being closed harshly.

*Knock* *knock* *knock* *knock*- on the door

*creaking sound*- Open door.

"Father? Is me?"

"Hey, sweetie, what is it? What can I do for you?"

"Um... Daddy,"

"Yes, sweetheart?" Luke respond,

"Daddy, I bake something for you..." Evelyn fidget, blushing,

"Oh, thank you, sweetheart. Just put it there on my table, thank you..." The maid helps her to put the food on the table,

"Thank you," Evelyn thanked the maid. Then she leaves nodding,

"Father," Evelyn called,

"Hm?" Evelyn Fidgeting her hands shy,

"Can I request something from you?"

"Yes, go ahead," Luke responds to her daughter without taking a glimpse because he's busy with his work papers.

"Um... can we go on a date later this afternoon?"

"Oh, you don't have school today?"

"No, our teacher got confined to a hospital because she is sick, so we don't have a class for today,"

"I see. You should visit your teacher later,"

"Yes, I will, dad, but um... so can we have a date later?" Evelyn asked, again,

"Sorry, sweetie, daddy is busy today," Evelyn turn gloomy,

"I see. Then I'd better go to my room now..."

"Okay, enjoy your day, sweetie," Luke responded, still not taking a glimpse towards her daughter,

"I try..." Evelyn responds in a whisper, shutting the office door of her father in silence.

Then she goes to her room doing her art again when she got an Idea she dialed her brother's number on her phone,

"Hello?"

"Brother?"

"Oh, Miss Evelyn?"

"Oh, who is this?"

"I'm Sir John assistants,"

"Oh, I see. Can I speak to my brother?"

"I'm sorry, he can't,"

"Why?"

"Sir. John, your brother, is busy on his photoshoot right now," John's assistant's answer.

"I see. Can you pass the words? Tell him tha,"

"Oh, wait, he's done now. I will turn over the phone to him, wait a minute, Miss,"

"Okay, thank you,"

"Eve?"

"Brother," Evelyn somehow relief upon hearing her brother's voice,

"What is it? Is something wrong?"

"No, there's nothing wrong,"

"Okay, why are you calling?"

"Brother, are you free today?"

"I'm sorry, brother is busy today. I'll date you at the weekend. Okay?"

"No, I understand. Enjoy your day, brother," Evelyn hung up first,

"You're all so selfish...."

Evelyn confesses everything that she felt ever since she turned five years old, now crying while her brother embraces her, feeling strong emotions.

"I'm sorry..., I'm sorry, please forgive me..." John cries out, embracing her sister.

"All I want is for you all to care for me and give me importance, but you all..."

"I'm sorry..." The only words that John can think of at these moments as he cries together with her sister.

"You're all so selfish..." Evelyn keeps repeating, holding hate and grudge towards her parents and brother,

"Please forgive me..." John kept begging and pleading for forgiveness as he cries his heart out, embracing his sister.

To be continued.
