He/Heroine And My Villainess - Chapter 251

MY VILLAINESS AND HE/HEROINE

(THIS CHILD WILL STAY OUT SIDE PART TWO)

It made her feel light inside her heart and think that her mother and she were not alone in this world that someone was still watching over them. Protecting them from all of their hardships.

Mary had experienced heavy things at such a young age, and receiving warm words from other people made her want to burst out all her sadness and worries, to let them all know that she was okay and thankful for their appreciation words about her mother.

“Thank you for appreciating my mother, great miss,” she said between her sobs. Vendia could not help but hug her into her arms, but Mary immediately pushed her away, worried that she might have put dirt into Vendia’s wonderful dress. But Vendia didn’t mind. She pulled Mary back into her arms and said,

“Don’t mind my dress. Let me hug you to give you warmth from the heavy cold that you were feeling inside your heart,” she said, and Mary hugged her back.

“It must be hard not feeling the warmth and love of a father,” she added, making Mary gasp from surprised and burst into much tears.

“I-I’m fine. I’m used to it, great miss,” Mary reply, while Vendia embrace her more secure into her arms. Mary smell of sweat and had a scent from the dust mixed with the metal fragrance upon bathing too long into the hot weather, but Vendia didn’t mind.

She always a person who hate someone touching her with dirty hands and smelly body but when it comes to the young child. She could not bring to felt any uncomfortable and disgust feeling. She didn’t care at all. Vendia continue hugging the child into her arms and says.

“Your mother is so proud of having such a strong young child like you in her life, and so am I. I’m also proud of you, Mary. Sister Vendia is so proud of you, “Mary look up at her because of her last words, made the child shocked and felt unbelievable.

“Sister?” she ask between his confused voice. Vendia nod while she showed a smile and wipe the child tears that flow in her cheeks with her hands.

“You can call me sister from now on,” Vendia pause her words and let go of Mary. She look straight at her with an awkward expression and continue talking.

“That is if you want to, b-but, I won’t force you. It’s all right,” Mary look at her with teary eyes and a smiled, then with no warn she immediately embrace Vendia back into her arms.

“Yes! Great miss. I would love too,” Mary thankful reply. Vendia released a relief sigh and smile. She felt glad upon receiving Mary positive respond. She caress Mary back to ease her sobs and said.

“Then you should start call me elder sister from now on,” Mary nod between the hug as she weep more tears from all the emotions she felt inside her heart. Thankful and blissful. She didn’t only meet someone that has a good heart today but she also meet someone who is very sincere to her. She found a sister. A sister she always dreamed to have.

Ever since Mary had learned to understand her surroundings and some points of life. She begun to felt a little incomplete and felt like she wanted something that can give more warmth to her. A kind of warmth that can only be found in a person whom she wish to have in her life.

And that is an elder sister or younger sister but she knows is impossible because her father had already gone and left them. Every time the young Mary sell her mother crops and product on the streets. She always saw a family passes by. She can’t help but felt insecure and jealous at the same time.

She always fantasize a scene where her father and mother is holding her hands as they stroll into the town street while looking around enjoying their day like all normal family do.

But when a cold wind brushes to her skin every time, a ping pain reality hit her and she always felt a suffocating sensation in her heart. But she eat it all away upon remembering that everything will be all right. That she don’t need a father.

All that she want is her mother, she will not request more. If her fate in this life time already had been settled then so be it. She will not need to request other things in her life, only her mother is enough.

As of the warmth she wanted to have, she long forgotten it all but upon meeting Vendia today. Her mind had circulate those request back again and she finally had it. Even though is not all complete at least she had one now. The unrelated sister, she can rely on.

A stranger who approach her for the products, ended up becoming part of her life. Vendia break their embrace and touch Mary wet face from tears. She give out a smiled and said.

“Look at you. Your make up has gone messy. Aish… you look terrible now, come on let me fixed it. Before you go back home to your mother,” she said and Mary immediately nod. She didn’t disagree of it all. She just go along into what her unrelated sister wanted.

After like a four second. The ten year old eight years old Vendia had already done cleaning Mary face and had already fixed her make up. Now she became descent and neat again but her cloths is a different topic. Is still dirty and has a stain of mud that already dried but the young Vendia didn’t mind.

“All done, now you can go back to your mother. Don’t forget what I suggested and taught you today, okay?” Vendia instructed to the young child Mary, which stare at her with pure eyes and daring smile.

“Okay, sister Vendia,” Mary reply. Vendia hug her for the last time for a second then let go showing a grateful smile to the young Mary. She can’t believe her Voyage to the other land will cause a new experience and surprised gift to her.

She can’t believe she would find a stranger child that she treat now as unrelated younger sister. Everyone had it say, go work on your chosen path and travel through it. You’ll meet what you want and what you need but at the same time you will lose that you once have because those things are not really the thing you want.

Vendia can’t help but look at the young child face for a second familiarising it, because she don’t want to forget such a strong and independent child.

She will back to Astrod land with her parents after this and she won’t be back after one month. But she will make sure to make it back to this land again after one month. She will pursue her parents, because she wants to see this unrelated young sister of her’s.

Mary look at her with a confused eyes. She wonder why does the young noble child keep staring at her with a smile. She didn’t feel creep out instead she felt perplexed about it.

“Sister vendia?” she called out.

“Hm?” Vendia reply with a simple sound from her lips. Then caress the young child hair.

“Is there something wrong?” Mary ask, concern. Vendia giggled and patted her head.

“Nothing is wrong. Can you wait for me to come back here?” Vendia ask.

“Huh? What you do mean?” Mary look at her with a wondering face and confused eyes.

“I am also going back home to my home land,” Vendia answer.

“You mean…?” Mary pause her words and look at Vendia with a surprised expression, with eyes that say, ‘She is not from here?’

“Why are you worried that we may not meet again?” Mary nod at Vendia questioned, which gained chuckled to the young noble girl.

“Don’t worry, we will meet again next month. I assure it,” Vendia said patting the young child, Mary, head again while her face showed assuring smile.

She will pursue her parents to come back into this land again. No matter what, she promise to her unrelated sister that she will be back again next month and she was a kind of girl that will do anything to get what she wants.

A girl who is wise and very benevolent child. She will definitely going to come back here. Silent ring inside the carriage for a while until Mary remember something.

“Um, sister Vendia, I have to go back home and prepare some food for my mother to eat,” She mentioned. Remembering that is almost time for her mother to eat lunch and take some medicine. Vendia on the other hand once again have a stunned expression.

“W-what did you say?” She ask for clarity, because she felt that the young child words are not clear at all.

“Oh, why are you surprised sister vendia?” Mary ask. Her eyes showed innocence and wander.

“You… you know how to cook food?” Vendia ask back and the young child smiled at her. Feeling proud and confident to answer a word ‘Yes,’ but instead she nod.
