I was out of that horrible house. A red car approached near me. Brother Shawn came out. He was about to hug me but paused in his actions. I looked at him dumbfounded. A memory suddenly strike back. Few months ago, brother Shawn and big bro Kyle came to visit me. They asked me about my health and my condition. I spoke coldly with them because Smith family hated them. They told me bad things about my brother's too. That was the main reason why there was so much hatred and coldness towards them. Brother Shawn and big bro warned me to not be close with them but I end up getting angry on them. And in end, when they were leaving, they were about to hug me, I told them rudely that from next time, I don't want them to hug me or touch me.
I sighed. I went and hugged brother Shawn. Brother Shawn was stunned for a while but then hugged me back. We broke and he looked at me silently. Brother Shawn is the sweetest person I know. He is very kind and gentle. Even though we are not blood related siblings or cousin but he still loves me like I am his real sister. All this misunderstandings made me monster.
"Brother Shawn.... I.. I am so sorry. I know what I did is unforgivable. I was so stupid to behave so rudely with you. I behaved so badly with you and big bro. You both always loved me and cared about me but I....I messed up everything between us. I am sorry." I said it while crying. I didn't realised when I ended up crying.
"Don't cry Luna. It's not your fault, you were being brainwashed by Smith Family. I am glad that you understood that we love you. You are our family. We never meant you any harm." Brother Shawn spoke gently while patting my head.
I smiled brightly at him. I know what I did is so terrible that I should do something that will ease the feeling of guilty in my head. I thought for a while. When a thought struck like lightening. Good idea!!! I will purchase flowers and gift them and when I reach big bro's house, I will cook heartfelt lunch for them.
"Brother Shawn let's go to flower shop first then to big brother's house. I want to purchase flowers." I said.
"Mhm sure. Get in car." He smiled at me.
I got in car and brother Shawn drove to flower shop. Brother Shawn and Big brother Kyle are best friends from childhood. They always hung together and I was their little sister. During childhood, big brother, brother Shawn, my best friend and me, we four used to have lots of fun. Brother Shawn and big brother would always play with me, take me everywhere they would go, climb tress with me and many more. Even after I chose Smith family, for 3 three years we were still close but later I got brainwashed.
I looked outside the window. There were small shops everywhere. Everyone were busy with their life. After few days, everything will be ruined. No one will be as peaceful as today. I need to be prepared for apocalypse. I need to start purchasing everything that will be required during apocalypse. In space, I can farm and do many stuffs, so it won't be problem even if the supplies ends. But it will be better to have it in case the farming takes long time.
"Luna, we are here." Brother Shawn announced that we reached flower shop. I got out of car and saw beautiful flower shop. It was covered with vines, we entered the shop. The owner of shop greeted us. The owner was in her 60's. She smiled at us gently and asked us,
"What do you want, young lady? What flower do you want or you want seeds? There are various types of flowers."
I looked at her and smiled,
"I am looking for lily of the valley, white tulips and white orchids. Could you please pack it in a beautiful bouquet? I want three bouquets please. Thank you."
"Oh I see. Are you planning to apologise someone?" Old lady asked.
"Yeah... You guessed right."
Old lady smiled and started picking the flowers. She arranged them in a beautiful bouquet just like I wanted it to be. She handed me the tree bouquets and I paid with whatever money I was given as allowance by Smith Family. Brother Shawn wanted to pay but I insisted to pay. We sat in car and kept bouquet in backseat.
"What did that old lady meant by apologising?" Brother Shawn asked.
"Brother Shawn you will understand everything what she meant and what I mean by this. Let's go to big brother's house." I smiled.
Brother Shawn drove us to Big bro's apartment. Big brother has a big mansion where he used to live with his parents. But after getting married, his parents wanted to gift mansion for him and his wife. But big bro refused and settled for apartment.
I felt my heart is getting heavy. I got out of car, even my steps were heavy. I took the bouquets and was walking slowly. Brother Shawn noticed the change in atmosphere. He hold my hand and said,
"It's okay. Trust yourself and remember we love you, we are not angry on you or hurt because of you. So, don't worry. Come inside like you used to do in childhood. Like you own it. You are always welcomed here."
