White envelope
White envelope
I did not fly back to Andrius’ private jet. In addition, he placed a passport on my bed. After we talked, I never saw him again. I couldn’t sleep all night either, and someone came to take me up the next morning to tell me I needed to go home since the ticket was also due today. I walked out of that place with a sorrowful heart. I had forgotten to bring the invitation he had given me.
I was a fucking imbecile until I arrived at the airport and boarded the plane. There are no tears shed. I just gazed into space, as if a miracle might occur if I stared at the air for an extended period of time. Perhaps if a tornado passed in front of me, I will wake up from my lunacy. But nothing of the kind happened. Nothing changed until I arrived at the huge gate - I didn’t wake up thinking it was all a dream.
I don’t know why the driver directed me here. Andrius says I already have my own condominium so I wonder why I’m still here? I did not get out of the car. The driver opened the door for me but I just stared at him and didn’t step my foot or even blink. I feel like I need someone to pour cold water to me to get in my sanity.
When I looked at the main door, I saw an old woman in a wheelchair. The driver held out his hand to me and he also looked at the woman in the wheelchair. I went out and never took out my suitcase. I approached the woman and decided to get my other clothes as well. When I stood in front of her, I knew who had eyes like her. That kind of blazing. I smiled at the woman, but she didn’t smile back, so I just didn’t pay attention to that.
It seems like a trend to give envelopes now because she took out an envelope from her clothes. In the splendor of her dress, I can see that I can’t touch her right away. I will be the only one who will be ashamed because I am like dirt on her. As perfect as Andrius’ face was, so was she. If you look at them, they are just like siblings, but after a while, you will realize that she is Andrius’ mother.
“I know how long you’ve been in this house.” Her voice was cold. It was as if I had done her a lot of wrong because of how she used that icy tone. Why does it seem like more and more people don’t like me? I think I’m going crazy because in the middle of this scenario, I even managed to joke with myself.
“You don’t have to worry anymore because I’m leaving too.” Even though she treated me coldly, I did not reciprocate the nasty treatment. I showed her I would not bother with her treatment of me. Instead, I smiled at her.
“It’s good that my son’s head has changed, and he seems to be thinking right again.” She handed me the thick white envelope. It can’t be called an invitation, but with the number of movies I’ve watched, this scenario is not new to me. Well, it’s odd because it’s happening to me now — which I used to just watch.
I did not take the envelope, but knelt in front of her. I didn’t see her reaction because I was bowing. She still doesn’t remove her raised hand. I knew what she would say next. Those are the lines that the villains in the scene often say. Is that their killer line “Stay away from my son for this money!” But I can’t wait for her to spit on me. I will speak to her myself.
“I can’t accept that money. I am very grateful for Andrius for helping me.” I’m not leaving on my knees. Maybe this is the answer to the question I’ve been waiting for. Maybe I don’t need to tell what the difference is between Andrius and me. He has everything I don’t have.
When she did not speak, I raised my head. Her stare at me was dark, so I knew she wasn’t happy with what I did. I stood up, removing the dirt that had gone to my knees. I bowed to her again before running inside. As soon as I entered, I saw the anxious Mary and Aunt Jes. They are like bubbles that suddenly disappear and then suddenly return. Mary immediately ran to me. She had been biting her fingers, so I knew they were worn out.
“C-caroline! Is it true? Are you leaving the house?” There were tears in the corner of her eye as I smiled at them to show that it wasn’t a big deal with me, but the truth was that something hot was stuck in my heart. There’s something buried in my brain to think it’s all just a dream.
I giggled because she sniffed. Even my laughter made me feel like I wasn’t doing it for no reasons. I hugged her and patted her on the back. I also encouraged Aunt Jes to hug us, and happily, she came along. I released go when I believed the hug was enough. I exhaled a deep breath.
“Are there any clothes left in my room?” I looked at Mary, who was now wiping away her tears. She nodded and couldn’t answer, so Aunt Jess answered. This belongs to NôvelDrama.Org - ©.
“They have taken your other belongings to the place you are moving to, only one suitcase is left..If you want, I will call a guard who can unload your suitcase.” Aunt Jes’s pity eyes still could not be removed, but I refused her suggestion. I went inside.
As soon as I entered, a cold and quiet space immediately hugged me..This is the last day I will step into this room. As I wandered my eyes across the room, I stared at the chain on the floor. To this day, the sudden change in Andrius’ behavior still puzzles me. Or maybe I just didn’t really know him from the very beginning?
I clean the bed even though there was no dirt there, and then I finally came out. The suitcase is not heavy because it probably has very little contents. I don’t even check what is inside. I could no longer saw Mary and Aunt Jes in the living room, so I went straight out. When I closed the main door, I jumped when suddenly someone spoke. Holding my chest, I looked at who it was — I could still see Andrius’s mommy.
“Accept this money so that I can say that we are acquitted of what we did to you.”
