I walked out of the cemetery area with a limp because my legs still felt too weak to move. In my mind... I was thinking... if that was my grave and my name was Azalea. My body started to feel cold, these raindrops hit the surface of my skin, and it was really painful.
The white dress I was wearing was dirty and washed by heavy rainwater. I looked up to see the black cloudy sky getting darker, indicating that the rain was reluctant to stop.I walked while hugging my body with both hands, it felt cold and piercing. My eyes looked here and there between the big and wide trees, I didn't know where the straight road I was going would end. I hoped to find someone's hut or house nearby for shelter. I was shivering with cold because I couldn't walk anymore, my legs were too weak to walk and I fell on the road, unable to hold on any longer, until my eyes felt hard to open.***The chirping of birds sounded sweet in my ears, a sweet and warm aroma greeted my sense of smell, and a warm and soft feeling was felt from under my back, comfortable. Slowly my eyes opened and a ray of sunlight penetrated my eyes. I blinked and saw that my body was covered with a blanket and my clothes had also been changed. "Good morning, are you awake?" My head turned towards the source of the sound, a middle-aged woman was walking with a tray of food towards me and I tried to get up and sit down slowly."Be careful, wait... I will help you."The woman stopped me, she immediately placed a tray that probably contained food on the table in front of the window. Approached me in a hurry and helped me to sit down."Thank you."She nodded and said, "My husband found you this morning lying on the road alone, what happened to you?"She immediately asked and I was confused about how I could explain to her that I had risen from the grave. She must have been scared and thought I was a ghost or witch who could come back to life or even be reincarnated."Sorry, what year is it, um... I mean what day is it?" The woman smiled while stroking my head, "You're still very young but your memory isn't good, today is—"Beyond human reasoning, I was suddenly shocked but didn't show it. 25 years, is it true that I died for 25 years? Where is my family, is this where I live, then what about my father and mother are they still alive, I can't remember anything. What do they look like and where is my house?"I don't know why I don't remember." I patted my head repeatedly, the more I tried to remember, the more my head throbbed until it felt big and wanted to explode. This woman held my hand and stopped me. "That's it! Don't hurt yourself, it's okay if you don't remember. I won't force you, eat first so your energy recovers and then you can remember what happened to you."Sh got up from the edge of the bed, took the tray of food on the table, and placed it on my thighs. "You must be hungry because last night you looked messy, I have to change your expensive dress into my usual clothes, I hope it can warm you up."Expensive clothes, am I rich?I ate greedily until the bowl was clean with nothing left, I lowered my head in shame and handed the empty bowl to her. "Can I—" I asked and she smiled and nodded,"Sure, beautiful, I'll be right back with it for you." "Thank you."She seems like a good person, what should I do after this? There's no way he'll house me here as long as I don't recover my memory.***I left the room feeling a little refreshed. I slowly walked through several rooms. I want to know what the condition of the house that accommodates me is. The house is made entirely of wood, very large, wide, and well maintained, and also unique and classic. The smell of wood makes me feel like I'm free, so naturally cool and comfortable as a place to live. I heard something noisy right to my right maybe it was the kitchen and I stepped towards it.It was true that it was the kitchen, the woman was making cakes there. 'Moms' ... The voice echoed in my mind and there was even a slight memory that reminded me of the two little girls running into the kitchen and helping a woman there, maybe her mother.My head throbbed slightly when the memory suddenly appeared. I decided to turn around avoid the kitchen and walk out of the house. It turns out that the yard is very large, covered with green grass that is fresh to the eye. A memory came back, now a man's voice. Leah...Leah....That name echoed in my mind, the more I tried to remember the more I couldn't! Whose voice was that, did he call my name?"Hi, are you awake?" I was shocked and clutched my chest when a man's voice greeted me, he came from the side of the house, carrying several pieces of wood in his hands."Oh, Hi, sorry, were you the one who saved me?" I asked him and he nodded, smiling kindly at me. It must be him, the husband of the woman inside."Yes, I helped you, how are you, has someone dumped you or wants to torture you?""Ah, yes... I was being chased by bad people there," I reasoned."Where?" he asked in surprise. Maybe I'm not good at lying so he doesn't believe the reasons I give or my face looks unconvincing."There, by the lake," I continued again and something seemed wrong. The man looked tense, then said,"There is a grave of a family. Who took you there?"One family's grave and that means there are both parents, is that me?"Is the story true and there is evidence, may I see it or explain it to me if you know the story."This old man didn't seem to want to talk but I kept forcing him because I needed my memories, I needed someone who knew me, I needed to know the cause of everything that happened to me. "Sorry miss, I....""If I told you that I was the one buried there, would you believe it, would you tell me everything?"The man who helped me called someone who knew about what happened to me and about the grave near the lake. He asked the man to come and explain everything to me. "He's our grandson and lives in a big city quite far from here. Maybe he'll arrive in the evening, you'd better rest or watch television with us." "Thank you," I said and chose to rest in the room. My mind still couldn't calm down, and pieces of memory little by little appeared in my mind. It's not very clear, it makes my head hurt like it's being stabbed by dozens of needles. Then Maria, the old woman's name, came into the room and brought me a piece of cake. She told me a little story to cheer me up. "Don't worry dear, we will help you recover your memory," her words were an encouragement to me. She was someone I had just met but was friendly and warm to me. It didn't feel like there were only a few moments left to wait, because the sky had already darkened and night would soon arrive. A few minutes later, there was a k
"You don't want to tell me what this place is?" I asked."Milan Cathedral.""You want to come here for penance?""I want to remarry you, Leah."***Milan, ItalyEl Salvador has the same high temperament as his parents. The bad traits they transmit are ingrained in their children. He often spends money on extravagances with his girlfriend.Steve said, today El, will have a pre-wedding in front of the Duomo Cathedral. This place is a historical place for me. Remembering the sweet story of a cradle from the mouth of a loser, as well as the bitter story of the prediction, it proved to be more than I thought. As for your son Anthony, I will give him a little chaos, so that he will think again about marrying that girl. Do you and he have the same character, easily deceived? My feet ran fast from the edge of this magnificent building, two men were chasing me from behind. I tripped, fell, and screamed, "Help, aa!" A handsome young man, his body was big and dashing like his father's. The co
"Shh," I winced and he blew again and stroked the side of the wound. "It may sting but this is effective for wounds," he explained. "Thank you, sir, you are very kind." "What's your name?" he asked, I lowered my head and muttered, "Edel, my name is Edelweiss." He pulled my chin up again. "Nice name Edel, you want to take a shower, I'll buy you new clothes. Take a shower and clean in you," he said with a smile full of tenderness. He stood up and walked towards the door. I know exactly, behind that gentleness there must be an evil side embedded in his body, the blood of a traitor. After he left I looked at the whole place. Many active CCTVs highlight the behavior of the residents inside. I walked to look for the bathroom, maybe my actions were being monitored by him. Let's just say I was in a stranger's place so I looked confused. After monitoring and misplacing it many times. I found a public bathroom near the pantry. When I opened the door, the atmosphere was pleasant. There
"Why don't you want to go?" he asked when my bedroom door closed. He stood with his arms folded across his chest. His arm muscles bunched up, and the two middle buttons of his shirt came undone and fell to the tips of my feet.I bent down and picked it up. "You said at the beginning it wasn't allowed and then it was okay, I chose the first answer, that's all," I answered without looking at him and twirled the loose buttons of his shirt between my two fingers."You always try to oppose me, Leah, every day I get more and more fed up with your attitude!""You think I'm not fed up with your acting affectionately in front of people even though, those people know that you are planning a pregnancy with your slut!""Shut your mouth, she's not like that!"He raised his hand above my head and I looked down, twisting my intertwined fingers, I shook. My whole body was scared, but I tried to survive. Stand in place without running to safety."He is kinder and more polite than you. Don't judge some
Somehow he reasoned with his lover that he had returned to Geneva. He is not a man who is a workaholic but is crazy about making love. A little different from Anthony. Even though Anthony is having an affair, he is focused on work, including being a workaholic. El only has a handsome face but his brain is empty. He only knew how to order his men without doing anything. I never saw him dizzy or confused. He looks relaxed and enjoys the money from his hard-earned wealth collected by his grandfather. Sad, I feel sorry for Mr. Frederick. He has useless successors. "After arriving, we will shop for your needs and buy you an apartment," he said in an arrogant tone. You're nothing El, you're just a money waster. "Um, what if I just stay at your house or I work to serve you and your family? You don't need to waste money on me, because I'm afraid I won't be able to pay it," I offered. I want to always be around you, to speed up this mission.He smiled, "I just need payment with your love, d
"Need me to help you, Miss?" asked a female servant who was standing in front of the door watching me struggle to climb one step by carrying the hem of my dress and maintaining my balance."Yes, please. Can you be beside me?"She ran fast and helped me right away. One hand used her shoulder as a grip while the other lifted my dress to make it easier to walk."The shoes are too high, Miss.""Yes, you're right and it hurts my fingers pressing down."When I got to the top my legs felt cramped, but I tried to be able to stand up and walk into the house. A servant ran over to me and gave me normal sandals so that I didn't have to bother climbing the stairs anymore to get to my room."Need any more help, Miss?""Oh no Thank you but where is Mr Anthony's room?""You're welcome Miss, let me take you," she said and I smiled.We climbed the stairs while talking because I asked about the morning habits of the people in this house. As a new resident, I have to be able to adjust as best as possible
This house has not changed at all, I was accompanied by a servant to the living room on the right. I have memorized where they provide services to the guests they invite to stay.Meanwhile, on the right is the main room of the house's occupants. In front of the stairs is Anthony and first room, that was then or not now. My head spun looking at that room, it felt sad when I had to return to reality where many painful things were stored in there."Please come in, Miss.""Thank You."He told me everything here. Like most foreigners, I nodded and asked as needed."If you need something, you can immediately call and be directly connected to the kitchen area, the best chef will serve you.""Okay, thank you and can I ask a question?""Yes, Miss?""Where is Mr El's room?""At the end there, Miss. The right side is reserved for residents of the house.""Oh yes, thank you, I thought the room was in front of the stairs."He smiled and shook his head, "That's Mr. Anthony's special room."He didn't
El came into my room late in the afternoon and brought a lot of things for my needs. Be it ordinary home clothes, bags, shoes, work clothes, and cell phones. That communication tool is what I need to expand my network."Try to check, whatever is missing then I will buy it again.""This is a lot El, I'm very grateful."He cupped my face and kissed my lips. "Sorry, for now, we have to pretend to be real colleagues so they get used to you.""It's okay, I also don't feel good because you broke off your relationship with another woman. You lied to me, El," I said while frowning and he hugged me tightly."Oh darling, I'm sorry. I couldn't be honest because you would reject me."I groaned and hit his broad chest. He took both of my hands and kissed my lips tenderly. I'm lulled by touches like this, oh Anthony. Shit! She's El!"See you downstairs, we'll have dinner in half an hour. Listen for the sound of the bell which signals it's time to go down to eat," he said and immediately left the ro
