CHAPTER 6

"Farewell has finally blossomed, Cyclamen"

PRESENT TIME  

Simple words with deep meaning...

Yes. It was filled with fondness and compassion. If only it can bloom a Yarrow flower so it would be endless.

Surprisingly, one bloomed. I was happy with glee until one day, its leaves were rotten.

I was devastated...

The leaves were rotten until it reaches the top. Petals have fallen...

A Hemlock then bloomed beside it saying, You will be my death.

...

"Go" was the last word she said.  At last! my poor heart really aches for you...

Why a Cyclamen? why not a Red Chrysanthemum?

Why a Red Carnation? and not a Rose?

A Butterfly Weed you gave as you told me to let you go. But, how could I live a life without the one that I fond? 

Now, my red heart has been embraced with a Pink Camellia flower. Oh, what should I do? Carve my heart out?!

Love, a man is blind from its path. Love, is talking in third person will make you come back? Will the above pity me as they bring you back to me?

Walking on the long path, A Rose I held. Clutching it tightly while its thorns pierce my hands. Blood pours as it stains the hand and the flower. 

Finally, it made a bloody Rose...

The pain in my heart was so dominant that I couldn't feel the bruises outside. It reached the core...

The area I'm in was so vulnerable! I'm like walking on a thin line. But, the line seems to be made out of something that can give pain. Well maybe, my feet were just bare...

As our kingdom's name is Hawthorn, it gave me hope. You and I are born with hope... 

"You gave me almonds to eat, 

for I crave a treat.

I allow you to flee with the flowers

as I, empower with your promise."

"You are honest.

So I believed as you promised."

I will accept the almonds for us to grow a Heliotrope flower. I know. The flower will bloom!

...

"Meow"

"Tick-tock, Tick-tock."

The Cuckoo clock on the wall had started chirping. I guess it's time for snacks. Daisy and Aster must be hungry!

I went into the garden to check both of them. As I went there, I then filled their bowls with treats...

"I have to be honest that the story is lovely and like a White Camellia flower but, do you know the story of the sun's fondness for the moon?" She asked

Oh, those wonderful times while visiting the lake at the Red Catchfly Forest...

...

I played with them for a while and carried both of them inside, "Did they have a wonderful time outside?"

"Oh, Yes! they indeed had." I replied as I gave the kittens to her...

"I'll head to the library for a while. You may visit me there later... or maybe you could just go with me there and bring the cats" I said 

She shook her head as she replied, "No, no. I have to let them rest first and then I'll follow. Okay?" She smiled

I nodded as I headed out...

...

Does were the thought I have had before...

"Hey, Eddy!"

"Sorry, I didn't notice you there. I guess I was really sunken deep to the story."

"What are you reading? What's the name?"

"The Book of Unknown. That's the name."

Memories of her are still present. If only I could turn back time but if I did, the past will repeat itself... Can a moment last forever?

Yellow Tulip was on your lips as it stretched to a smile. You have really affected me with your flower language!

I hold on tightly to our love. Never was easy but I strive...

Even though we are apart, our fondness will always be kept inside our hearts and our minds. The sad thing is it will retain as a memory...

Little did you know, I cherished each and everyday action because it might not happen again. Like this, for example...

Today's flower quote is Cyclamen. It is sad that the flower is included on the list. 

That flower is indeed pretty but, the colors of its petals can really deceive into thinking of a happy flower rather than a farewell...

Its colors like pink, red, green, white, and purple are really gorgeous. Though flowers have two sides of meaning...

It can be a bad one or a good one but, it depends on the person who is giving it. On the good side, Cyclamen can also mean Love...

"High hopes for Love to appear but farewell came instead!"

"A flower fellow ending the devotion,

the aster was out of words.

Its pistil was yellow like the,

sun's color."

"Love is really a universal feeling.

Like a parcel being delivered to you,

such as love being brought to you. 

The flower is loved!"

...

Through this walking mess, they press me with distress. Stress succumbs me as I confess their progress. The flower was indeed stressed!

"Are you done reading?" I smiled as I looked forward, "Not yet. Why do you ask? Are the cats asleep?" I asked

"They are, indeed!" 

"How about your Boon Companions?" I asked, "They are happy!"

"Well Edward, that's destiny. That is your fate. Time will come at the perfect time and you just have to be patient. They said patience is a virtue, right?"

"But what if you didn't end up together or with someone?"

"Well, that is your destiny. But I also couldn't answer that since we do not know what the future lies on the path we walk on."

Aster. It will help me to bloom Patience...

Life is full of challenges... I know that. But with the help of a flower, a Chamomile will grow. Oh, how delightful!
