Ch.31- An Angel?

Aaron's pov...

Three children went in the iron gate and walked to the garden, the beautiful garden with the sky facing trees and velvety lush green grassy land and a lot of beautiful colorful flowers.

Sitting under the three and closing my eyes, I was enjoying the pleasant sunlight which was falling over me through the dense tree leaves, that children's giggle mixed with birds' chirping.

Someone spotted me and or not, then exclaimed "Wow, there is a little angel, let's take a closer look!"

'Little angel?' what were they talking about? Two words hearing my ears respond it, I also want to look at the 'angel'

Curiously, I opened my eyes and tilted my head, then turned to that voice source that I heard.

"Dummy, he is a boy, not an angel as you are thinking!" A little boy clicked his tongue and told her.

The young girl ignored him and jogged toward me. I lifted my head and found her approaching me.

"Hello, are you Alex's relative?" This girl was Selina Swan, she asked me happily. Bending her body she was looking into my eyes.

She was closed enough that I could see her eyes which were shining with curiosity.

At first, I was startled at her sudden approach, then saw her, and then I spotted two more children behind her. A boy and a girl.

As I saw the girl, I forgot those two people. She had snowy fairness with the delicate feature, her chubby cheek had a rosy glow.

Her silky black hair was waving on her shoulder. Her clothes were shiny.

I was a country bumpkin, I had never seen children dressed in such beautiful clothes in my whole life.

It had been three to four months since I came here, but I had not seen anyone except Alex Rowan who was a teenage boy, but when I saw these three and their expensive shining clothes, I was mesmerized.

But the girl who was standing behind them, caught my entire attention because she was the most beautiful and I had never seen a girl more beautiful than her.

Putting my eyes on her, one word escaped my mouth 'Angel' and kept looking at her.

It was her first impression on me and it imprinted on my mind and heart.

Yes 'Angel' That's what I said when I first saw her and for many years I kept thinking that she was an angel, but it took me many years to know that she was a witch in an angel's disguise.

My childhood was spent with her and my youth began with her. I always thought that our youth would stay innocent forever, but it was not due to her conspiracy.

She was my everything, I trusted her most, and loved her only...

That's why it's so painful when she hurt me.

She was the one who destroyed me, she ruined my youth, my dreams, my life, and- my soul.

Something spilled out of my eyes and rolled down my cheeks, I felt that my vision get blurry.

I couldn't see her properly, I was eager to see her, I wanted to see her more, as I rubbed my eyes to clear my vision that I found that... I was crying.

The transparent wet object was filtering on my palms, I was stunned to see my tears. I didn't have to intend to cry, just remembering our painful or joyful past, but it spilled out its own.

Why? Was I still?...

The sudden thought made my body stiff, it was an uneasy feeling to me. Was I still 'care' for her... Yes 'care' because I didn't dare to think of other words than this.

After a useless piece of thought, I stood in front of her sleeping face for quite some time before I turned to leave.

I went to another room and waited for the doctor. Soon my butler escorted the doctor there, then the doctor treated my foot.

"Don't put much pressure, or it would be worse."

The doctor gave me advice before leaving. The butler was about to escort him but I stopped him.

Politely bowing his head he was waiting for my words.

I saw him pursing my lips, then turning my head I looked out of the window at the sun which was about to set. The orange golden rays started becoming dull.

"I want to spend some time alone with my newly wedded wife so you guys take a break for a few days."

"We, we all, sir?" His reluctant phrase reached my ears, I turned slowly and saw him. My stare wasn't cold or fierce but it was uncomfortable for him that a few droplets of sweat appeared on his forehead.

"Yes all of you, before she wakes up, you all leave here and enjoy your holidays till I call you back."

Then explained to him, though it wasn't necessary, that I was his master and he was my servant, my words were a command to him, but still I explained.

"This place is new to her, so she might find it a bit uncomfortable. So celebrate your holidays till she gets adjusted."

He seemed a bit surprised by my words, then understanding appeared in his eyes, maybe he remembered the bath gown incident. He nodded with an awkward smile.

"I understood, sir. We will leave before the morning."

"Hmm, enjoy your holidays." Saying it I closed my eyes, as no more talk. Within a second I heard his departure footsteps.
