I was confined in the attic for the exact three years before I was able to see the outside world again.

They let me. But mother warned me about one thing. That if I ever did what I did three years go, she'll throw me away in a place that no one will never know. She's keeping her eyes on me. She's just around, watching me like I was some kind of a prisoner at a dungeon who'll do crimes.

Seeing the light again outside the house, I feel like going back to the attic. It's no different from being there with my mother's stares around. The maids and the knights were surprise to see me. All they've known was I was at my grandfather's at the other town to take care of him, but little did they know was they know nothing at all. I was there at the most miserable part of the house.

I saw Magnus. We cried. People around us thought it was tears after a long separation. But no, it was a cry of helplessness and despair. A longing.
74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡubXPXi6dPR
"I missed you, sis," Magnus whispered.
74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ37BXP19xeC
"I've always miss you too."

He's grown up. And one day, he'll be able to grab the Barony's treasures, assets, and properties. My only mission was to not get in that way, with the same mistake I did in the past. Well for them it was a mistake.

Estelle stayed with me to be my personal maid. Mother has allowed her. I guess that's the only thing my mother did that I liked.
74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDxC4Mor92I
"Is the water too warm, Miss?" Estelle asked, having to prepare my bath.
74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIaSwbKu7Wd
I dip the palm of my hand in the tub. "It's alright."
74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ39OrPGqJxJ
She smiled, it's a warm smile she's always given me.
74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ55shmayOI6
I didn't smile back. Not because I didn't acknowledge everything she did, but because I have a hard time pulling the corners of my mouth to beam.
74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGT23rVbZ0p
It's like it's hard. Maybe someday I'll be able to lift the corners of my mouth again and not think of every agony I've experienced.
74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8fYAN4fHqV
But for now, I don't think I could.
74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2DgY0BAB3e
I turned my head to the window before letting the white and long curtains fall to cover it from the inside. Now I'm seeing the green trees and how the flowers wither from here. It blooms earnestly. It's beautiful.
74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1GYLdDnoXr
And with the gasped of time, three months has passed.
74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqC1ZqcsCcx
It's autumn. It's the time of the year when the dry and brown leaves fell from the branches, when the surroundings has the same colors of the tree, when every single person has the urge to travel in every town and the plaza will be filled with noise again.
74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5K9DshpBhb
When the festival will occur.
74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTfXrikPQic
I turned away my stares outside the window and left my chamber. When I walk down the stairs and went at the living room, I saw Estelle writing at the piece of paper. She's writing a letter.
74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr4vuiZtTam
"For whom was that?" I asked. She gasped and turned to look.
74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQcWHKjjz0t
"Miss, almighty, please don't just appear like that," She seemed frightened.
74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdjRzjmLdSI
"I apologized,"
74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFStTlr2neN
She shake her head and sighed. "I-It's fine, Miss. And---I'm just writing letters to send to my family."
74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡarcGroggFB
My eyebrows furrowed. "But there's two enveloped there."
74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs9pq4SvIgC
"Ah, t-that's---how do I explain this? I'm still writing letters for both of my mother and brother, and the other enveloped was for my father. I don't know whether I did tell you this, but my father now works at the Dukedom of Clayton, at Duke Percival's mansion, Miss,"
74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLOmraXCCbX
Hearing her say those words and that name, I was weak for a matter of time. I never would've thought of someone mentioning that title and name to me anymore.
74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpCVm0WWIvw
But Estelle doesn't know anything. She just knows that I had an affair with some noble, but she doesn't know who that is. I never bothered about answering, though she never bother about it asking.
74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLkKJMt0NyU
My eyes fell on the floor. "I see, so that's it then?"
74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4VmXmgw7Hw
"Yes, Miss..."
74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTLYQOa2zl2
"What work is your father has?"
74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbFzgXf9SIc
"He's a servant there, Miss, All around, as long I can guess..."
74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlHig9yMLEW
I was silent for a minute before turning around to get back to my chamber.
74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA3FETSnKxa
And just like what I did every single day, I thought of him.
74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7vMYDUTkPV
I wonder what's he doing now, or he's thinking about me too? The last time I saw him, I tore his heart to pieces.
74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8Xo19GrITe
It's been three years, and I have heard no news of him. Not even a single whisper of his name from Magnus. I thought I could know about him now that I'm freed.
74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8fIHsQRP1E
All those years at the attic, I only thought about what could've been. I breakdown every midnight. I was in agony when I woke up and he's the first thing who comes up to my mind.
74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZgd9CYXyaI
I longed to see his figure, I longed to feel him again, but all I could do was to restrain myself and keep this desires together hidden.
74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡetarQub1EV
It hurts, but I had to keep going. I don't want to kill myself, I just want to move forward and forget about everything that has happened. It's hard and I still don't know how to start.
74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBin3W3G46X
I stared at the ceiling while laying on my bed and close my eyes.
74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzzCSNNkzBv
It's like I'm carrying a big thing in my chest, it's hard to breathe. Hard to speak, hard to move, but easy to cry.
74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt92xFA7dYN
And even if I tear hard and loud enough, I couldn't get it out of me. It stays. And it will, I know, for a long time.
