Chapter 14 : A colorful life (Arion childhood) (4)

*******

(Emptiness of my heart ..... Can I fill this emptiness of the heart ?? There have been many ways I do to feel the pain ... Sadness ... Happy ... Angry ... And all the other feelings ... But ... The result is still the same ... Even though I've tried it many times ... But I just feel emptiness ...)

~~~~

Arion: "Who are you ??"

I throw my answer to him ... Everyone in the room showed a surprised face when they heard my question just now.

The man in front of me then released his hug slowly ... Then put his hand on my cheek ... And said

"Arion ... Forgive Papa who has been gone for too long !! If only ..... I returned sooner ... This wouldn't happen to you.... I'm sorry this is my fault..."

His voice trembled while continuing his words .... But then he smiled at me ... then said.

"(smile) Call me Papa from now on.... because you are my most precious child ... Try it !!"

It's different from mama ... His smile isn't terrible at all ...Even though he smiled at me... But there was a hint of sadness on his face ...

Then I nodded in agreement with his words ...

Arion: "(nodding) P-Papa !! Papa?"

When I say the word "Papa" suddenly my head seems very heavy ...

Arion: "ughh ??"

There are pieces of memory that I see in my head .... But not very clear ....

Papa: "Arion !! Are you okay Arion? Does your head hurt a lot?"

Arion: "I ... I don't know !!"

Papa who looked very panicked then called out to everyone who stood up ...

Papa: "hey .... What are you doing !!! Don't just stay there !!"

"(flinched) R-Right your highness ... Forgive our mistakes !!"

Then they quickly come to me but....

When they treated me ... I felt that over time these eyes became very heavy ...

I close my eyes because I can't stand it anymore ....

"Hmmm .... Is Arion alright?" While hugging me she asked ..

Arion: "I ... I'm fine ... It's just that I was like seeing something ... Although it's not clear but it looks like....it's me .... But it's different from what I am now. In that memory I look very happy .... I...smiled. "

Throughout my story ...

Arion: "Is ... Is that just my imagination? Because I really want to feel all the emotions that disappear from me?".

she just paused listening to my story ... But I could feel her hug getting tighter.

Then....

"No ... That ... Is your old self. Those are not your imagination ... Those are your old memories ... Because Arion is a very good person ... Arion just needs to wait until all your memories return..Sorry I can't tell you more... "

I was silent for a moment after hearing her words ...

Arion: "So ... How can I return to my old self again?". I asked her with serious face

"Arion just needs to wait .... Until Arion finds someone who can restore your old self ...".

Even though I didn't really understand what she was saying ... Somehow I agreed with her words ... It wasn't long before she slowly disappeared until I regained consciousness from my sleep ....

The first person I saw was Papa who gave a happy face when he found out I was awake. Then he hugged me

Arion: "Papa ??"

Papa: "Arion ...."

(1 month later)

It's been a month when I realized ...

Since that time I was taught many things by Papa himself ... From returning to practice using the sword, introducing everyone to me, telling me all about this kingdom, Papa taught me about what health is and much more ...

My life with papa is very different from my previous life with mama .... My life with papa is much more colorful .... And full of people who are smiled happily when they see me...

But when I realize I haven't seen mama in a month ... Back when I asked him where mama is ... He just answered.

Papa: "You don't need to worry arion ... Papa make sure she won't be able to hurt you anymore !!! And don't ask about her anymore understand?"

I just nodded and agreed to Papa words ... Even though there were many questions that I really wanted to ask him...

Because I was taught long ago to always obey the commands and words that were said by mama even though I really didn't want to do what she said..... But I have to forget my feelings.... And must say yes to what mama say....

So because of that habits....I can't refuse all Papa words to me ...

And from Papa I learned a lot of things ... Because Papa I can see everyone smiling warmly at me... I really want to smile back at them .... But ... I can't ... Although I have repeatedly trying.

However ... Still.....I still can't feel all emotions like normal children in general ... Even though Papa taught me all that ... Explain in detail. Even taught me how to ...

That's all ..... Is useless .... But papa never give up...

That morning ... When I was about to to sword training.

Papa: "Arion !!"

Arion: "Hmm ... Papa? What is that?"

Papa: "Because tomorrow we are invited by Papa old friend to his kingdom to attend his daughter's fifth birthday party ... Come with Papa tomorrow ... How is it?"

Because it is Papa request I can't refuse it ... Even though I don't want to even ... I have to approve it .... With a cold look I reply to Papa words.

Arion: "okay, Papa ... Arion will go with Papa tomorrow ... Arion promised !!"

I thought Papa would be happy when he heard my words just now .... But on the contrary ... Papa face looked a bit sorrowful ... Then smiled at me ...

Papa: "And Papa will introduce you to his daughter who is same as your age ... Papa sure that you two can be together and can take care of each other forever ... And daddy sure she can change you back arion !!"

Papa hugged me then let me go to continue my practiced ...

On the way to where I practiced ... I imagined papa words just now "Papa sure she can change you back !!"

Arion: "(change me back? Can that happen?)"

I asked myself while looking at my sword .... Even though my life had changed so much... And I can see all of people in this kingdom smile happily again....

But still there are some of them who look sad when they see me ...

Maid 1: "You see how prince arion who always looks happy and bright turns into a very cold like that?".

I heard two servants talking.

Maid 2: "Yes, you are right .... How can the queen treat prince to this extent !! he becomes ... A prince who loses all emotions and cannot feel anything ... I'm so pity..."

That's what I always hear when I pass by a few servants ... But I don't care at all ... I continue my steps to my training ground ...

Finally the night arrived .... As usual Papa always came to my room to accompany me until I fell asleep ....

"Arion !!"

I heard the voice of a girl who used to call me when I was asleep and entered my dream ....

Arion: "Hmm ... Is that you? What's wrong?"

"Yes ... It's me ... I just want to ask about what do you think your life now?". She ask me with very soft voice.

Arion: "My life has changed greatly now ... Now my life is more colorful and I can see smiles from everyone by my side again ... Thank you for helping me all this time and always by my side whenever I need someone to accompany me !! thanks "

she was silent for quite a long time ... Until I realized that my surroundings slowly began to change ... which had contained flowers everywhere now slowly disappeared ... Then there was a very bright light that made my eyes become unable to see clearly what's in front of me...
