"What do you mean by his holiness isn't here anymore?" Irene who went to the temple the next day as soon as her fever went down a little was shocked to hear about his sudden departure
.
"His Holiness did tell us about your arrival and he was indeed apologetic towards the lady for not being able to inform you earlier. But his leaving was extremely important so, please understand." The high priest said as he bowed towards Irene.
.
Irene did understand what the priest was trying to say and she wasn't offended in any single way bu she was indeed a bit disappointed since she didn't get to know more about her unusual nightmares and there was no way she could ask for anyone's else help.
.
"I understand then can I know when his holiness will return?" Irene asked as she smiled a bit.
.
"About that....we are unaware of his returning period too. Since it may take a day or a week or a month and sometimes even a year so...but please keep patience since his holiness said clearly that this journey was especially to help the lady." The High Priest said as he looked at Irene who had no idea about all this. And looking at the priest expression it was clear that he didn't want to talk more about it.
.
"And if possible please try to take less stress as bad feelings will make things even harder for you. It was his holiness words, not mine." The high priest said as he bowed and walked on his own way.
.
"Thank you," Irene said as she bowed and then quietly left the temple.
"So His Holiness has given a lot of thought to my condition...but his departure makes me more anxious....*Slaps herself* No Irene think positive! Even his holiness told me to be happy, so let's just let the negative thoughts go!"
.
And as Irene wished for the whole day and the next few days Irene didn't have any thoughts as she got busy with all the work related to the upcoming anniversary.
And by the time the work ended it was already the day for the anniversary ball.
.
"Are all the dresses here?" Hana asked to the junior maids as she looked at the dresses and suits placed before her.
.
"Yes, this is all that we received from the designer. And she also gave this complimentary gift to the lady." A young maid said as she handed Hana a small wooden box.
.
"A gift, my lady would you like to take a look?"
"I will....what else can I even do in such a condition." Irene who had face pack on her face revealing only her eyes with both pedicure
and manicure going on said as she was unable to move even a finger.
.
"Then let me open the box for you," Hana said as she smiled and went near her as she opened the box in one go revealing a beautiful pair of silver earrings in the shape of a butterfly hanging to a silver string.
.
"Wow!" Everyone exclaimed at the simple yet classy design of the earrings.
"As excepted by the top designer, she has indeed got an eye for things like this. I really like them but just how long do I need to stay like this? I am tired....and hungry." Irene said as she looked at Hana with cute puppy eyes but Hana didn't even budge a bit.
.
"So cold! Hmp!"
"My Lady please don't move so much or else you have to sit there for a longer period. And as for food it has being prepared so be a good girl. Okay?" Hana said as she started working on Hana's hair as she gently combed it.
.
"Really!"
"Really so now sit straight!"
After that, for the next half an hour Irene got busy with the makeup and hairdressing and then she finally had her food and after that come the most had part and that was to wear the dress.
.
"I hope the dress fits you," Hana said with a worried expression as she sighed.
"Why are making it sound like I gained tons of weight?" Irene who felt a little offended said as she glared at Hana.
.
"My lady I would have been happier if you would have gained some weight but instead you lost some of your weight in the past few days so I am afraid about the fitting," Hana said as she looked at Irene getting into the dress.
.
But unlike her worries, the dress fitted Irene just right and the golden colour dress with silver linings suited her a lot.
"Maybe I am still of the same size," Irene said as she twirled around a bit.
.
"( This dress reminds me of beauty and the beast. Belle wore a dress like this when she danced with the beast didn't she.)" Irene thought as she wore her white netted gloves.
.
"You are right and unlike other bright colors this colour suits you a lot. I almost thought that it was your wedding gown." Hana said as she giggled followed by the other maids.
.
"Why do you guys always end up in the marriage section?" Irene said as her eyes turned red form the sudden talk of marriage.
.
"Haha who knows? But my lady please be carefull down there many young masters of different household will be present who knows how may of them will be wooed by your beauty~" Hana said as she made her waer hr shoes and she was now ready to go.
.
"A godess!" The hairdresser exclaimed as she sided letting Irene have a full body view of her new look.
The golden dress with a bubblu skirt along with a off shoulder top along with a thin golden bracelet on lying on her delicate wrist and the complimentary earrings that made her look warm and mature along with her hair in braid with golden flowers in it.
.
"Wow I am just 11 aren't I?" Irene said as she touched her reflection on the mirror which all the people on the room found cute that she couldn't help but squeal.
"Sister are you done?" Ash asked he knocked at the door before entering.
.
"Ash I am done! See how do I look?" Irene said as she faced Ash who had a smile on his face as he looked at Irene.
"Pretty as always~ but sister shouldn't you look at the time." Ash said as he pointed the the clock located at the wall.
.
"Oh! Its almost time for the people to arrive! We should hurry___No wait, Ash you still have one thing left." Irene said as she opened one of jer door and bought out a box inside which was a green sapphire cufflinks in rectangular shapes.
.
"This did you buy them?" Ash asked as he looked at Irene.
.
"I just buyed it but that isn't important. See do you like it?" Irene said as she smiled while looking as good looking as always.
.
"Of course it looks good afterall it is terrible who choose them." Ash said as he held Irene's hands.
"Hehe great then let's leave together, shall we?"
"After you~" Ash said as he let Irene walk before him.
.
"May they stay like this always." Hana said as she looked at both the siblings laughing together.
.
"Ash, Irene!" Raymond who was watung for them to appear said as he looked at both of his kids.
"Father! Did you wait for long?" Irene asked as Raymond patted her head.
"Not that long, so now shall we go in together." Raymond said as he forwarded his hand.
"Ladies first." Ash said as he forwarded his hand too.
.
Irene smiled and accepted both of their hands.
"Thank you gentlemen." She said as three of them entered the hall and the spotlight fell right above them.
.
On one side where everyone was enjoying their time, on the other side a feeling of restlessness was arising with the passing time.
.
"See they look happy even without you. She doesn't need you. Can't you see." A menacing voice said in the dark.
"No its not like that....Irene isn't like that..." A shaking voice said.
.
"Fool can't you see it yourself that girl doesn't need you! She can't even feel your absence!"
"No! Don't talk rubbish! Irene cares about me....she isn't like others!" The shaking voice fighter back which only ended with a sudden sap on its face.
.
"Come to your senses! Right now And for the past few years it was me who was here with you not her! Leave being by your side she didn't even send a word in your name.And you still belive that she is your friend!" The voice in the dark said angrily as all the furniture in the room started to fly in thin air.
.
"Stop it! Stop all this! Stop forcing your thoughts on me!" The other voice said he/she closed his/her ear and crumled on the cold floor until everything in the room where tback to normal.
.
*Sniff* *sniff* "Irene....." The voice said as a tear run down his/her chin and darkness surrounded it.
