K A L O N : BE A U T Y
"A beauty beyond skin deep"
"It‟s beautiful"
The two sat in a library reading books. The blond stole small glances at the cool woman and snickered to herself at time.
They‟re still in the stage of puppy love, when both are full of affection and loves. When the two are still in the stage of knowing one another and are worries-less.
"Ebonee, how long do you think we could hide our relationship?" She asked with curiosity.
Her lover sigh a little as she scramble her thoughts, "Sooner or later. Don‟t worry, as long as we could be together, I‟ll stay with you"
She gave her a reassuring smile to calm down the other. Of course they need to hide their relationship, especially for the sake of heaven. They of course wish for a roseate life style but that‟s too much to expect when one‟s mortal and the other‟s immortal.
"Layla, may we have a talk?" The voice was stern. Mostly use to question serious issues.
"Yes mama", she halted her steps hesitate to approach the goddess.
"I‟ve been eyeing your actions all the time you know that right?", "Yes mama" Ebonee looked down feeling guilty. "So tell me, what‟s
your relationship with that lowly mortal?" rage slowly filly in the voice of Lady Inara.
"We‟re a great companion mama, since I found her to be friendly"
"That‟s all?" the goddess was demanding the truth not lies. She was disappointed in her daughter, "Tell me the truth Layla"
"Mama, I swore it‟s the truth" she finally dared to look at her angry mother. She tried her best to convince it‟s the truth but even her own self doesn‟t want to convince.
"Ebonee. Tell me the truth. I didn‟t give birth to you for you to spit lies" the string of patience is getting shorter and shorter.
"Mama! Please it‟s true!" Lady Inara slapped her daughter across the face. The loud noise echoed around the room, as if everything was in slow motion, tears streaming down Ebonee‟s face out of guilt and also streamed down Inara‟s face out of anger.
"What a disappointment you are! What have I told you? It‟s a taboo to date a mortal-"
"But there are other gods that did things like this! Why do deities in heaven can do wrongs and get away with it so easily! Mama, you are such a bad woman!" Ebonee lashed out at her own mother. Tears kept going down her face across her red left cheek, the side her mother slapped her.
"How dare you insulted your own mother?! You‟re just making disgust you more Ebonee!" She didn‟t back down, she was angry to the point she‟s fuming.
"I don‟t care mama! You taught me to be this and that! And all those rashes! You‟re suffocating me!" tension was thick in the air because of the mother and daughter fight. Inara‟s eyes were red and she was clearly gritting her teeth at her daughter, Ebonee was crying a mess with her eyes filled with rage glaring at her guardian.
"Ebonee! You changed!"
"No, I‟ve never changed! I never do! I just hid this self of mine from a beast like you!" her words were as harsh as a storm, as blunt as a knife that was enough to voice her pain.
"I see, your wings are growing huh. In the period of 7 days, I do not want to see you with a mere mortal like that wench!" Lady Inara exited the scene with a mad expression and tension with her.
She patted her laps when we were in the castle rooftop watching the stars. I laid my head and her lap and gazed toward the dancing clouds and the decorative stars of the night ink surface.
"The sea is beautiful" "So as you"
"The sky is gorgeous" "So as me"
"We're like the sea and the sky" "Also like the tree and violet" "We fit together"
"But not meant together" "Nevertheless"
"I Love You"
"Only You Will"
Slowly, lips closer, body closer, and they touched, they kissed and the loved. They don‟t care about the odds, the difficulty, they had so much already to waste it. They promised to never let go, to hold each other tight, and to be strong together and ever.
Purposely, they chose the rooftop to dis the heaven‟s rule. The gods in the sky, angels and all see this sight, especially the Goddess of Pride and Ego.
"Viola, want to sleep here?"
Every eye was on the prideful being, her face was red and it seems she could explode at any moment.
Walking out of the big hall, words and whispers, rumors and gossips, mockery and disgust were pointed toward Inara.
"Obedient daughter? I‟ve been fooled"
"She is such a bad mother"
"This is going to be their downfall if she still stayed with her daughter"
It hurt her pride so painfully. Her pride, her ego, it‟s killing her right now. Ebonee was always the good girl, divine beings expected her to one day become a goddess rightfully, but to their dismay it was all an expectation.
Lady Inara made an entrance back to her castle. She was seen biting her lip and chest rising up and down. No hesitation made, a vase was thrown to the wall and followed by the chaos of other furniture clashing to the ground. Screams of frustration, of anger, of embarrassment echoed with each other with such a fierce and heavy feelings. Her hands at this point were bleeding uncontrollably, the red liquid flowed down to the floor, travelling to every corner of the space accompanied by countless drops of sweat. She can‟t stop, the madness, the anger that hid inside her body burst out like a volcano. She ran her hand to her hair, was almost pulling those locks out of her scalp.
"How could she? That wench she dared manipulate my daughter!" With her fist in the wall.
She threw so much that it seems like a large chaos were create inside the castle.
How would‟ve you felt if you are in her place? Not that your child gone against you but think of it, some peasant manipulate your child? Or the seed that you‟ve grew? Would you be raged and mad? Or pissed and angry? And what will you do about it?
