章節 12: He will support me.
He will stay and play with me.
A wave of tears overflowed from my eyes. They were no longer tears of sorrow, but joy.
His emerald eyes pierced through my soul and I felt an urge that I thought I will never feel. I wanted to trust and depend on him. In my previous life I always did everything on my own, without depending on anyone else except for Mom. Even now, I tried to depend on my new, caring parents as less as possible, so that I wouldn't inconvenience them. When they had to go, I would pretend to be asleep, so that they could leave at ease and I usually played alone or with Afald. However, now I wanted to depend on this 5-years-old child.
'Wow, what a great way of thinking. You want to depend on the child who can barely take care of
himself. Way to go,me....'
But I could do nothing with my heart and just continued to cry.
He sat besides me who was crying my eyes off and patted me on my back, until I finally calmed down. We looked at each other and I could see my reflection in his mirror-like, captivating, bright eyes that were not clouded by fear or lies.
"Mirta, when will you tell your parents?"
Tell what? Ah! I forgot about it!
" I was planning to reveal it slowly, starting from next month."
"Why?"
I could clearly see confusion in his eyes and felt perplexed.
He figured out that I was not normal, but couldn't understand why I should keep my abilities a secret? Should I spell it out for him?
" What did you think, when you heard me speaking and saw me standing?"
" Nothing..... I was too confused."
Ah, right, he didn't understand what was going on at the beginning.
" You might not mind, but adults can get scared or start avoiding me. All of the children will imitate their parents and I will be left alone. People tend to be scared of the unknown. I don't want to make Mother or Father hate me. I don't want to take this risk."
I hang my head. I don't want to see people avoiding me. I no longer have the mindset of an adult, so if something of that sort will happen, I will not be able to accept this. I am...
"So you are just scared, huh."
Yes. I'm scared to lose people that are precious to me. It's selfish, but I don't want to let go of them. I'm such a coward.
" Yes."
He fell silent for a moment and quickly stood up, pulling me along with him.
"Wha!... What are you doing!? "
" We will go to your parents and tell them about your problems and fears, right now!"
Are you an idiot!? I just told you the reason I don't want them to know!
" But I told you..."
He stopped and turned around. Looking right into my eyes he said with resolute voice.
"They will not hate you. Their love is way stronger then you think. If you'll keep it in, you will get more scared. Well, that's what my father told me. 'Never keep your fears inside! They will only grow', that's what he told me and I believe my dad's words. Don't worry. I'll always be on your side.... what was that word again.... Support! I will always support you so that you'll never feel alone!"
Startled, I found nothing t say and obediently followed him inside, where I saw Mother and Father looking at us with wide and confuse eyes.
Here it comes.
