In the noon, couple of minutes till two,
Up on The Church of Hazaya, everything was looking sunny today. Wind was cold alot but warm in a bit in this noon.
One, two, five, ten, twenty, fifty, seventy five, ninety nine steps...
Roze Fildart finally reached the peak of the hill. Going forward toward the church as her hat slowly held backwards.
While walking she closed her eyes and let her empty hand fell off.
Observing the environment with only fifth sense was like hanging under sakura in spring while nightingale singing in the open land.
However, she entered in the church closing the door slowly. All the pews were empty.
Only on some of them Nuns were working, gossiping and making new clothes for orphans. Roze quietly went in front and sat on a pew. As she took her hat off on the pew, she went to washroom. The towel was already there.
She came back and started to pray raising her hands up.
Even though it's not her place nor the God she is praying is from her religion.
But, other religions people can pray to another God once in a week which they have to give a " Divinity Card ". It can be achieved in markets but in high price.
Roze was continuously praying nonstop.
Whom she is praying for?
Behind her pew, Vain was sitting there. Sipping tea and staring her from behind, waiting when her prayer will end. Roze didn't stop, kept praying. Vain's tea was finished almost. He spitted on the cup, slowly the cup started to fill up again.
Roze comes here to pray once in a week without " Divinity Card " cause Vain forbids her to buy. Vain knew Roze will make the prayer a bit longer today.
Also, Praying to other God is allowed in religious but a person of a religion cannot read another religion books.
Vain finished drinking tea for tenth time. He became bored and threw the cup backwards and it vanished.
.....
Finally after centuries, Roze ended up praying. She grabbed her hat by palm and looked behind.
" Sorry, I had to make you wait.... Father? "
Father Vain was sleeping there while sitting.
There is a paper wrapped beside him. Roze took it carefully and opened it. It says,
" Go outside and sit on the bench beside the magnolia tree and in front of a big rock. "
Walking outside, she wore her hat. Sat under the shades of leaves. Roze sat there quietly and tapped her fingers on knees. Two eagles were flying in the roundabout.
She was waiting and waiting.
A fat squirrel was passing by her. Her sight barely went on it.
Seeing a human raising its hand, squirrel tried to run wasting time.
As Roze took it in hand, little thing started squeaking, tries make itself free.
Roze patted the squirrel slowly and looked at it with a brighten smile. The balancing environment made her smile even more beautiful. The squirrel was happy.
It was the first time any big being like this adored him. Roze just reminded she bought nuts from market today.
Roze took it on her hand. The squirrel was afraid to touch it. Every time looking back at Roze before heading a centimeters.
" Don't worry, I won't hurt you because it's your meal. "
The squirrel are the nut quietly and before leaving, it looked at Roze's face once more.
Her day was going really rough back in days. Whenever she sees any beggar in roads crying for life, her heart crumbles.
As a little abandoned girl, she was born in a bad and messed up place. It was basically filled with thieves and drunk people. She used to hang out with some other abandoned children in day.
In night, she lived under cardboard box in a alley. She searched food in garbage and ate in breakfast, lunch, dinner.
When she was eleven, some drunk people came in the alley and humiliated her.....
That was the day, her life turned even worse. Knowing that of the little kid in alley people slowly began to come there.
Cruelty doesn't require strength—it only needs absence of empathy.
Cruelty walks where compassion fear to tread, but it only leaves ashes
She was getting physically and mentally breakdown. For a such kid, she wasn't able to tolerate all of it, but what can she do?
Leave the town?
What about her friends? Who will she play with after leaving this town?
Basically this town was very old and also the King was very cruel and mad person at that time. He had this power all by false calls.
The time was quite 9pm, early night,
She was packing her bindle bag. She took some candies which she bought after finding some money on road.
His friends might be sleeping right now.
She bursted out with sorrow, it's a drizzly rain. Her fate was written like this she didn't knew, who knew?
Using foot she walked away from the place she called home.
She didn't know where she's going. Just walking, walking and walking.
However, she end up being in Prada town.
A person thought she is missing. He went to her and asked, " What is your name, lass? "
She was very confused. What is " Name "? Is it something to it?
She turned behind in fear and ran. The person was confused.
However, now, she leaves under a bridge on grass.
Her belly is slowly expanding outside which is giving her some pain. After some days she starts vomiting frequently. There was none to give a hand. Some shouts in pain but who will hear it from closed room? She often steals bread from shop and sometimes buy.
She used a bread for a week, drinks water from river.
Turning fourteen, her life was at the very edge. Thankfully it didn't.
She gave birth to a baby boy. She was kinda feeling happy and sad at the same time.
She doesn't know what will happen next but at least she's not alone now. When she goes outside with the baby people think it's her brother. She sees other kids eating healthy foods and wearing good clothes.
While her one wears only some messed dress. She decided to work in a bakery where she used to thief those bread. She knows that uncle. She carries the baby with her.
Earns some money. Eating dirt and wearing messed up dress but she didn't let her child come down from Prince's throne.
Five years passed....
She often plays with her baby. That was greatest feeling she had when his child called him " Mama " for first time. Now he has grown a lot.
She had many bruises and scars but didn't had the money for treatment.
Don't know how far her wheel will roll but before that she will make her child a perfect human. She was thinking to send her child in school but she the fees are beyond her wealth. She starts working as servant in others house.
That's normal, a mother can sell her life for her child.
Everything is going happily.
One day, it was a rainy day.
The child wills to bath in rain first time and runs in middle street. She was following him behind.
People with umbrella looking at them and laughs, but they didn't care. They were just having fun.
Fun,fun,fun,fun,fun,fun,fun,fun,fun,fun,fun...
All on a sudden, a fastly running carriage crashed into the child. His head was bleeding from a side.
Roze didn't wasted any time and went for hospital. She was arguing with some staffs about money. Her child was dying and they were busy about money's matter.
At the end, they shoved her and the baby out in the road. When she checked his condition, she realised.....
After that incident she became crazy and was living with a corpse.
Another six years went in madness and regrets.
And one day she was seen by a Church Father.
When she had nothing, she had her child and when she has everything, her child is gone.
...
" Wake up! "
Roze woke up from nap. Vain was sitting next to him. Vain was looking at Roze mysteriously.
" Why are shaking heavily? Is there anything bothering you? "
Roze sets calm and wraps her palm together.
" No, I was just thinking about some works. Maybe I am too tired today. "
Vain chuckled.
" Is there any point hiding truth to me? Here everything is clear. I see we are very far from surface. You can make yourself free here. "
As Vain said, she was afraid and also very guilty.
She started to scream louder, making his sorrow be lighten. Her screaming made birds and goats there silent.
In that scenario, Vain couldn't help but throw a smile.
