บท 216: Knock

Xhemin stopped under the big oak tree and looked up the tall wall of the Montarini Manor, then she dragged her gaze to the French glass windows of Huzey's room. She climbed up the familiar tree and lounged on a bough near Huzey's window and knocked.

"Prip-prippa-prip-prippa" She called up on him, hoping he would open the window for her. She knew Huzey was already discharged from the hospital yesterday and so was certain the boy was here. However no matter how many times she have called him on their secret language, Huzey didn't opened the window for her.

Huzey was resting on his bed and alone in his room when he heard Xhemin's knock, but instead of answering her call, he didn't respond and just listened to the Little Miss' call. Was yesterday not enough for Xhemin to know that he didn't want to see her?

Sobbing the little miss' called again, "Prip-prippa-prip-prippa."
