So (Not) Happy

Lavender would never dream that today Gabriel came to see her after 25 years passed. She could not hide her teary eyes. The gem eyes were glistening to the cloud of sadness.

"Please … listen to me …." Ajax tried to console her, but she resisted him directly. She was stepping, backed herself up, and did not respond to any words he said. But the moves were interrupted with her son's voice. 

Artemis came to the shop suddenly after all this time. However, he never appeared at Lavender's flower shop since they did not close to each other.

"Mom …" Artemis's voice was heard when he opened the door to the connecting room. He came in casually without noticing that there was a man in the room. Lavender was gasping and startled by the situation. Her eyes even became more apparent when Artemis smiled at her.

"Arte?" she muttered silently.
