Yes, I worked for her father all day but my only work was to make tea for him and his guests whenever he wanted and to clean his entire office.
John was a good and humble man. Humble only when he wanted to be. Otherwise, he was a big physique man.
In return for doing his chore, he had given me this small cabin. He never treated me hostilely at work because he was good with all workers.
He never took rent from me and for that, I was thankful to him. Whenever he paid me, I had bought small things for my house and food but that was not enough.
My parents died when I was 14 years old, I lived in Lucia's residence for 2 years and then he gave me that cabin. Lucia was living with her parent's siblings and grandparents. A lot of members were in one home.
I didn't even understand this human nature like whom those who had family, didn't want them, or have a lot of issues. Those who had no one wanted one. Like those who were having upright hair want curly ones and curly hair girls wanted straight hair. Like why couldn't we be happy with what we have?
If something was not with you means it was not good for you. It was better in the way it was.
I knew I had no one but had Lucia. I had my parent's stories there with me and I was thankful for that. Was living like, I was living their lives too.
I woke up due to that bright light of the sun. People process like, they were in dark shadows and had no light in their lives. But, in my opinion, it was only their minds which they processed in that way. Everyone has light in themselves just we had to switch it on.
I made my bed and cleaned my room, I walked towards the bathroom for a shower.
After a shower, I picked up my comb and walked towards the backside of my house.

Lucia: "Hello rise and shine my princess in whatever dreamland." Her voice was always so pure that I couldn't help the smile coming on my face.
Eleanor: "Why are you here in this early morning? Aren't your fiancé was going to be with you on breakfast?" I asked narrowing my eyes on her fully acknowledging her mission.
Lucia: "Ahh they haven't arrived yet and I came to tell you that you have to come to dinner at my home. I want my companion to be with me so please don't you dare to deny it."
Eleanor: "I will be there." I fully knew her mother will not like that. She would use every chance to humiliate me in front of everyone but Lucia was important.
She was the only one whom I had. I would surely be there for her.
Lucia: "oh well I know you will be agreeing to this. Here is your dress for tonight and your attire for tomorrow at my wedding. I know, I know, I can't do this I can't give you this, but maybe it's the last time I am giving you something so take it."
Tears falling on her cheeks and that made my heart so hurt that we both were going to be apart after not more than two days. She would be gone forever maybe.
We hugged each other for a very long time, cried in each other arms. Life was short and we had to do our parts, yes people walked away but their memories would always stay in our hearts.
Then she made my hair which was difficult for me because my hair was so long that I couldn't even help myself to handle them.
Lucia: "Oh there is another important thing I wanna tell you."
Eleanor: "What is that about?"
Lucia: "My father told me that my in-laws have some condition to do this marriage."
Eleanor: "What! Why?"
Lucia: "I don't know that certainly. But my father told me yesterday that they want to have some security. My father is not making me married to my fiancé because of something."
It was so not good because of why they were doing that on final times. The next day was the wedding and they were having some conditions. Like this wedding was going to happen one year back but they were busy with their stuff and they wanted it to be a year later. Now they had some condition what was the thing that John could have in return for his daughter's wedding?
Eleanor: "What thing?"
She inhaled intensely and looking forward she said...
Lucia: "I don't know but whatever it is, it's big and wrong because my in-laws are very serious and might I say angry about it."
You know when you were having a feeling that something was going to happen. That was what I was feeling right now.
Eleanor: "Okay I will be there but you go now please."
She smiled happily and kissed my head. An impression that she always shows me saying "I deserve it."
She waved her hand to me while going back. I was just sitting there smiling knowing after three days she will be gone.
Her life was going to change and I thought mine too. Her fiancé's name was Zale, one of the best warriors in this world. He was as far as I knew was a heartless person and the best part was he wanted to marry Lucia.
Love? and a heartless man? Both couldn't go right. I was still so much worried about Lucia because Zale and his friends were not good. Not good didn't mean they were bad guys, not doing their work honestly.
They were just heartless, emotionless, and cruel sometimes but I thought it was not their fault because they were trained to be like that.
Warriors were not authorized to had families firstly but now things were pretty calming. Many were having their families. The tough part was they had to move from one place to another from time to time.
Zale had no family but Lucia told me his three more friends were his family. They were a group of four warriors who were well known for their strength and endurance.
Especially his senior, who was one of the most powerful warriors in history. He was sharp, intelligent, powerful but at the same time was cruel, heartless, and ruthless.
Rumors said that he had no enemy because he killed everyone who came in his way. His temper was not in control of anyone.
How do I know this much? Of course, he was a well-known man and also his group members.
I was excited because maybe I could see him here with my own eyes. I had heard he was so husky and charming but never laid eyes on anyone. Which I thought was not possible or maybe probable.
I just wanted to see this man with my own eyes.
