The Truth

The morning came and Ash woke up tired from the long night he spent. He didn't slept thinking of what Sam told him and suddenly the door knocks and he stood thinking that she listened to them yesterday and he rushed to open the door and finds that it was the maid "good morning, madam Angel is calling you in her room in hurry''

He asked the maid, "hey isn't her father in the house?''

"No, he went early in the morning to work''

Then she went, Ash closed the door and went to the house thinking of the advice,

"Take the chance Ash'' he prospered himself and walked towards the house but the surprise that he found her in the garden. He went towards her and found her sitting on the old wooden swing swinging slowly with a flower on her hands staring at it smiling.

He went close to her, "hey Angel how are u? The maid said for me that you called me in your room but I found you here, is there something wrong?''

She turned with a big smile on her face, "The boy refused to marry me and by that dad will not force me to marry anyone. Did you see how my plan worked? Behind this long hair there is a brilliant brain.''

She laughed and looked at him, he walked towards her backside and said holding the swing rope, "May I"

She looked back and smiled, "Yes no problem "

He started to push the swing slowly, "Ok these are good news but what I don't understand that why are you happy that much to tell me?''

She was swinging in the air back and fro smiling, "Maybe because you are the only I have and the most person I trust, or maybe because you were with me in the plan, maybe "

he stopped the swing then he took her hands and he let her stand in front of him holding her hands, "Angel I want to tell you something but it is very hard for me but I need you to understand me ok. Listen, Sam told me that he will refuse you because he knew something from me and that is… that is...''

He holded her more tightly and nearly in a second he said, "He knew that I love you and I wanted to be your boyfriend.'' He spoke all this in just a minute and he ran away without looking back.

At that moment Angel was so much surprised of what she heard, her eyes and mouth were widely opened.

Ash ran to his room and closed the door behind him tightly and laid down on his bed breathing hardly "what did I do? Oh this was absolutely not the perfect place or time''

Till the night he didn't get out of the room because he was scared that when he goes out he will find her in front of him, he slept the night without eating a bite.  Ash woke up the next day with his stomach shouting from hunger and suddenly the door knocked.

He stood and went towards the door he opened and was going to close it when he found that it was Angel holding a tray full of food. He stood at the corner, let her in and closed the door.

she put the plate on his bed, sat down on the bed and looked at him smiling "come on Ash, let's eat our breakfast I know that you didn't eat anything because I also didn't ate anything scared to see you by the window. So come on now, I feel so hungry.''

Ash was surprised from her but he sat on the bed in front of the plate and they started to eat. The food was so delicious then Angel took a bite of the sweet cream cake and put it in front of Ash's mouth. Ash was shy and he didn't want to take the bite but he couldn't resist so he just opened his mouth and she put it in his mouth smiling.

They were full of what they ate, she put the plate on the table and both of them cleaned their hands with the wipes. Angel stood, took the plate and went out of the room while Ash was in his thoughts ocean. He didn't knew whether he should jump of happiness or stay calm and cool. He thought that even if he told her his feelings she also again should give a response to ensure it. He again thought that because she gave him a bite, she also have feelings towards him but is shy to reveal it.

He smiled and said for himself "I should be patient, patience brings good for you, I should never give up'' and he got inside his blanket and took a nap.

Afternoon Ash woke up and started his work in the evergreen garden, he went to the rose's corner and started watering it. While he was watering it, he realized that there was a small bud of a black rose between the red ones.

He looked at it for minutes and closed his eyes and stood straight in front of it, "Dear black rose, I promise to pluck you when me and Angelina reveal our feelings and become the happiest couple and you promise me that you will be fully grown when I and she reveal our love. You black rose, will be the sign of my love toward her. In fact you look so much like her''

He opened and smiled looking at the rose and suddenly he hears a voice of something between the bushes, he turned scared of it being Angelina hearing him. But he found nothing.

In fact, it was Angel hearing him from the beginning. She was trying to move from the place by which the bush moved and made a sound. When she heard from the promise, her eyes were going to cry and she promised herself to go to him at night and to reveal her feelings.

Ash didn't knew anything about Angel on the daytime.

At night, Angel has decided to go to Ash when everyone in the house has slept. She went down stairs tiptoeing and when she was out and near his room, she heard Ash talking and laughing from the room. She came closer and stood listening from the door and her mouth opened of what she heard. She found that Ash was talking on the phone with a girl.

"Oh my sweetie, you know that you are all my life, oh please, I know that I know that, ok I will try to come and we will discuss it''

And when Angel listened that conversation, she ran to her room crying and Ash heard the crying from his place but when he opened the door, he found no one and that the sound vanished.

The morning brightened and Ash woke up while Angel didn't sleep the whole night crying on the bed and realizing that Ash was just tricking her. she stood up, wiped off the tears from her eyes and went to Ash's room and knocked hardly, Ash runs to open the door and was shocked from finding her with her reddish eyes, "Oh Angel, come in''

Angel replied with a serious voice "no thanks, I want to ask you a question and I need the truth''

Ash said ok surprised.

"I want to know who that girl you were talking to last night was. The girl you were saying her honeysweet and baby, who was she? Answer me! Why are you silent Ash? Why don't you tell me that she was your girlfriend? Why were you tricking me? Ash tell me" Tears coming from her eyes, "What did I do for you that makes you hate me like that? I am so sorry for the past we spent together''

She cried and ran to the house without even waiting for a reply. Ash was shocked, he tried to run behind her and shouted...

'' Hey Angel, Angel wait! Let me explain for you, you didn't understand what happened yesterday''

Angel ran faster and shut her ears, Ash became tired and stopped bending on his knees and looking at her solution less. He was not knowing what to do, whether to continue and tell her or to fall on the ground. He returned to his room hopeless and so much sad, he returned to his bed and slept his worst night.

Days, Weeks, And about half a month passed without Ash seeing Angel, he just could see her hardly from the garden when she goes to her university. At last he decided to leave the house. At the afternoon the family were together for lunch, suddenly the house door knocked and the maid opened. It was Ash, Angel looked at him and stood up from the table and went upstairs. Ash entered and looked at her and turned his face to her dad. Her dad saw her and turned to Ash and smiled, "Oh yes Ash, is there something wrong?''

Ash smiles, "Oh no sir but I wanted to ask permission for taking a vacation because I want to visit my mother, I missed her.''

Angel's dad smiled, "Oh Ash, are you asking me for a thing that you can without even taking my permission?'' laughing, "Its ok Ash you can go to your mom.''

Ash smiled a fake smile and with a lower voice, "the real is that I want you sir to give me all my salary. You were very nice for keeping all my salary with you but I want to buy some gifts for my family, so I need it''

The father was surprised at first but he accepted, "Ok, let me go and bring it for you''

Ash smiled "mmm… sir I am sorry but I have a last request. Can you let me give Angel this paper about how to take care of the garden in my absence?"

The father smiled, "its ok, Angel is like your sister and till you give her the paper, I will bring the money"

Both of them turned and the father went to his room while Ash went upstairs. He put the paper under the door of Angel's room and knocked the door and quickly he returned downstairs.

He took his money and went to his room, packed all his clothes except the suit that she gave him on the dinner day and he put it in the center on his bed. He went out of his room and before he left the huge house he went to the black rose bud and stood in front of it smiling, "little black rose if you think that our love will continue, you have the power of bringing us together. Bye my dear rose, maybe I will not see you again but I wish that Angel take care of you''

He bent down and kissed the rose gently and he exited the huge memorable house.
