I listened attentively and stared out the window at the hearing of the howl of a wolf. It got my body pumped up with goosebumps. I tried my best to stay put and get a sight of the full figure of the wolf that made a loud howl, but I couldn't.
"Lyla dear... "
I didn't move. Even when I heard my name. It got me hanging. What? The Howl.
"Lyla? What's wrong?" I heard my mother call.
She sat beside me. Even when I wanted to get down from what I stood on, she held my arm.
She knows why I act the way I do. She knows everything about me...
But one...
"Daddy has started talking about my marriage. I am still just a child... " I say in tears. "I don't want to marry someone I don't love, Mummy"
My Father, King Dan, has always had the mentality that I brought to his Kingdom bad luck because of my eyes. The color of my eyes looks like the color of an Olive fruit.
He only knew that my mother and he have the right color of eyes that the creator can give. And that is the brown and blue color.
"I told you, Lyla. Your father has your good in mind"
"Stop saying that!" I rebuked my mother. "We both know my father threatens me. He hates me, and I know you know it too" My small voice voiced out and I don't wait to hear my mother's reply, I ran out of the hall to my bedroom. It... It hurts... It hurts so much! What type of thing is this?!
"Lyla!... " But she called me back in vain.
It was all hatred and power that mattered right now. I love my parents and I love my people. But if the real phase of my dad's behavior is for me to marry someone so early at the age of twenty-one, then he should forget about me being his daughter.
I would have left this kingdom a long time ago, but where will I go? Who will I stay with?
Didn't he care for my well-being? Or did he just care for his selfish needs?
I don't know. I have no clue right now.
My eyes became red as I stared into the mirror and cried.
I cried so much that my head nagged mercilessly. It had no mercy on me!
I have no clue right...
Now.
