"ALICE!! ALICE" someone's screaming from a distance. Alice turns her back. She sees Lucia runs towards her. The moments Lucia shouts her name, she quickly notices something was off.. her mother.
Alice's groceries fall from her hand. The moment she realise something is off, perhaps "my mother"
"mama"
Alice runs to Lucia
"Alice! mama has been hit by a carriage she is in the hospital right now Alice You have to follow.. !"
Without even listening to Lucia, Alice runs to the one and only hospital in the town. She cries while running and hit a lot of people. She even fell down and sprained her ankle. She kept running and running until she is in the hospital besides her mother.
"mama..? mama? mama wake up, wake up mama. alice bought mama's tangerines and steaks. alice will cook for mama tonight mama.."
While taking her mother's hand to reach her face, the doctor announced Mrs. Anne has passed away due to loss a lot of blood. Her main injury was her head. Therefore, the possibility for her survival was not even reaching 50 percent.
" mama, alice is here mama..? alice promise we will eat steaks together at home come mama. let's go ba. .."
"AAAAAAAAH MAMAAA PLEASE MAMAAA DON'T LEAVE MEEE!" the whole room is covered by Alice's screams.
"GIVE MY MOTHER BACKKKK!
WHY YOU HIT HER OF ALL PEOPLE WHY?!! ISN'T IT ENOUGH TO TAKE AWAY MY FATHER AAAHHHH" Alice just like a hysteric person. Everyone went silent, including Lucia that finally catches her breathe after runs to the hospital. She hugs Alice and,
"I am very sorry Alice. I needed to go to the bathroom and suddenly the front door was widely open. I thought she was asleep back then. I am very sorry Alice.. Forgive me Alice"
The whole evening was filled with Alice's screaming and pleading the doctor to save her mother. She was lying down on the floor and sobbing. Lucia still there besides her. She felt sorry and regrets what she had done.
After Alice has calm herself down for a little bit, Lucia was told that Mrs. Anne had few broken ribs and broke her left leg. When she arrived at the hospital, she was covered with blood. At the time Lucia went out from the house to search for Mrs. Anne, suddenly she heard a loud noise and a horse suddenly neighing angrily. She headed towards the noise and found a lying woman on the road. Few of the people nearby carried Mrs. Anne to the hospital. Lucia was searching for Alice quickly at that time.
Alice still sitting down at Lucia's room. Lucia accompanied her all night long before the preparation of the funeral.
The next day,
It rains heavily. All the roads went wet. The town was silent from noise of people but full with sound of rains. Duchess Hayi received the letter from her mansion saying her favourite cook passed away not too long ago. She sent orders for nobles' funeral director to prepare for Mrs. Anne's funeral.
Duchess Hayi found Mrs. Anne a very nice person. Even though, Duchess Hayi knows Mrs. Anne had a tough journey before working for her, nevertheless, Mrs. Anne still a person with a pure heart that puts her prides away. She respected Duchess Hayi and cared for her. Duchess Hayi was a widower. Therefore, Mrs. Anne is the only person who understands her the most. She cheers Mrs. Anne like a sister. They both cliques with each other well when Mrs. Anne was alive.
