Irene The Lady Who Turned Down Fate - Chapter 183

“You better remmber it.” Sam said as she left the room leaving both the siblings alone with awkward silence.

“I will return to my room too.” Irene said as she walked past him.

“Sister wait for me–Ahh” Ash who was trying to follow her ended up hitting his leg joint on the wooden table.

.

“What wrong?” Irene asked as she turned around with a worried face.

“Nothing much, I just hit my leg on the table. It’s okay.” He said while trying to suppress his pain so that Irene won’t feel worried.

.

“Bullsh*t!” Irene said angrily as she put his arms around her neck to support him.

“Why lie, when you can’t? Let me send you back.” Irene said as they started waking towards Ashton’s room which was on the second floor.

.

“Sister, you have been carrying me around the whole day aren’t you tired?” Ash said as he looked at the ground while Irene silently supported him to walk comfortably.

Irene didn’t reply him back infact she just ignored him.

.

“Are you ignoring me?…Well you must ignore me afterall…I disappointed you again. And because of the fuss I made, Father is tensed too…I was so consumed by my anger that I couldn’t see anything else, forget considering others I didn’t even think about them….I really made a big mistake this time, didn’t I?” Ashton kept on talking till he reached to the doorsteps of his room.

.

“Atlest you know, that you are wrong but you still couldn’t figure out the main point, did you?”

Irene said as she entered the room and made him sit on the bed carefully.

“Main point?”

.

“Yes the main point here isn’t that you beat the young Marques but the fact that Ash you never open up with your thoughts, and that’s the thing which makes father anxious.

And to be honest… I don’t feel any better then him, because this time even I don’t know what’s going inside your head…” Irene said as she covered him with the blanket, looked at his eyes ones and then turned around to leave the room.

.

“I don’t belive you!” Ash said as he looked at Irene with a strong emotion in his face which made Irene to stop on her tracks.

.

“I don’t believe that you don’t know what’s going inside me.” Ash said confidently as he smiled at Irene.

“And how are you so confident when even I am not sure of it.” Irene said as she scoffed as she was kind of annoyed of his words now.

.

“Because with Sister, I am not just bonded by blood but with soul and mind…with Sister I always feel safe as if our bonding is not from birth but through many lifetimes….” Ash said while a tear suddenly left his eyes and Irene listening the last words suddenly felt a sense of deja vu.

.

“It feels like we have known each other since many lifetimes.” The picture of Irene’s pastime ad Lily played beifre her eyes with a hazy picture of her brother (in past life) saying those line.

.

“Sister? Sister? Are you okay?” Ash asked as he noticed the sudden freeze in her movements.

“Yeah, I am okay.” She said ready to leave the room.

.

“Sister! Are you really not going to forgive me?” Ash asked as he tired to leave the bed.

“First, don’t you dare to leave the leave the bed and second, just because you Apogolised doesn’t mean I have to forgive you.

And third, give me some space I really can’t think of anything now.” Irene said as she sighed and gave him a weak smile while leaving the room.

.

“Ha—-”

“(Things are indeed bad….but Sister just how long are we going to live like this?)” Ash thought while keeping his head on the pillow behind him.

.

“Lady Winter, you are back.” Hana said as she saw Irene entering the room.

“Hana….” Irene said as she ran towards her in order to get herself a big and warm hug which was needed by her mostly at the moment.

.

“Lady Winter….did you have a hard time outside?” Hana asked in a gentle and caring voice while patting her back.

“Hana~ the world is so cruel and scary. I ma tired and scared.” Irene said while sniffing the motherly scent she had which always made her comfortable and at ease.

.

Hana’s presence couldn’t take Freya’s place bit she still played the perfect role of mother in both the winter siblings especially Irene’s life.

Hence, there is nothing to be hidden from her.

Expect for the things which can’t be trusted or believed by anyone (for example her transmigration, the dreams and its connection)

.

“…Hmm, everything you said is indeed ture and right but won’t that make life boring? And why would someone as brave and happy-go-lucky like young lady would say such things? Did something big happened between you and the lord or the young master.”

.

“Well, your guesses as usual are right, because today I did have an argument with Ash and father did scold me for being childish and not opening up and I really do understand his point but Hana…do you know what I thinking about while standing there?” Irene asked as she looked at the family picture at her desk.

.

“What were you thinking about?”

“I was thinking about mother…I just kept thinking that if mother were here, she would have scolded Ash while applying the medicine with teary eyes…

.

if she would have been here she would agree with father but won’t let him close himself inside his office…

.

if mother were here…she would have placed her hand on my head praise me with a smile on her face if she were here she would have kept all of us together.” Irene said as a year rolled down her eyes.

.

“My Lady…” Hana who felt pity and sad for that young soul struggling with the family problems couldn’t help but give her the warmth she has been missing.

.

“Hana…I really miss mother…when will she wake up…I really can’t handle this.” Irene said while braking into tears.

.

“My Lady, please don’t cry. We all miss Lady Freya, and we all want her to wake up and become like before but till then, you must look after everyone…I know it’s hard and that every little dispute puts you in a difficult position.” Hana said as she wiped her tears and placed the photo frame on her hands.

.

“BUT I also know that, my lady is strong, determined and brave. And this is your family, and you are Lady Freya’s daughter so there is no way that you can’t handle all things.

Right now everything is so overwhelming that you aren’t able to distinguish between right and wrong but trust me tomorrow will be a new day.” Hana said as she smiled at her.

.

“A new day…” Irene said as she looked at the picture which was taken during Ash fifth birthday.

“Yes, a new day.” Hana said as she looked at Irene and then noticed a shadow near there door. So, she immediately went to Check the doorsteps but much to her surprise no was there.

.

“Whats with all the sneaking around?” Sam said as she looked at the boy with a limping leg running around the second floor.

“Sam! You scared me and what do you mean by sneaking around? This is my house.” Ash said while fixing his clothes which got a bit cripled.

.

“Yeah that’s what I am thinking too. Its your own house so what’s the point of sneaking around? Are you perhaps a duplicate of Ashton?” Sam joked while touching his face.

.

“Shut up~ and I admit my defeat. You are right I was sneaking around Sister’s room but trust me that wasn’t my intention at first. I was just here to return her earing which got struck at my clothes but I ended up hearing her conversation with Hana and…”

.

“You saw her crying her heart out…all tired and exhausted, didn’t you?” She said while looking at his eyes which got a bit watery too.

.

“Yeah…I saw her like that again..(He remembers the time Irene looked when he had his first ever attack at his 5th birthday) but how do you?”

.

“Hana told me, and this isn’t the first time sje cried so bitterly. She did this everytime be it weather it was the time she had all the house responsibilities on her or the time when the Empress died, or when you left the mansion…for the lat 3 years she has been hiding her tears and preserving every moment.” Sam said as took her steps towards Ashton.

.

“Ashton, the Sister you have so faith in has been working hard to not that faith you and others have in her. She has been trying without any complain, but what are you doing?

Except for running, what have you ever done?” Sam said while pushing him.

.

“Just a while ago, you said that you will be responsible for your actions and give up on swordmanship.. I really respected you for that but Ashton how come, you were ready to give up on your dreams but still couldn’t wipe away Lady Winter’s tears?” Sam said as she hit him in the chest making him fall in the ground.
