21: The Oleander Flower

Just like what my Mother told me, she did send me a lot of white orchids in my room. As for Tanaka and Hanako, they did not question me. I successfully gave the flower to Fabio, but I have no idea if he likes it or if he even received it. I just need to stay positive and wait for the time when I can visit the garden again. I wonder if he knows what the meaning of that flower is? Will he give me a reply? I don’t want him to get the wrong idea about my actions. Fabio is like soil in my garden, there won’t be any flowers if he wasn’t there. He became my closest friend since he never faked anything that he did or said. The only safe home where I can feel free from the secrets that surround me. The only place where I can be safe and be real to myself and others.

“I see you meet the empress,” Tanaka said as he came inside my room.

“Yes. She gave me all of these flowers,” I said as I looked around my room full of white orchids.
