Mute Girl The Series : Rose Thorns 5 004

Chip! Chip!

The sound of birds chirping was very refres.h.i.+ng to her ears. At the veranda railing, there was a small Blue Jay bird jovially chattering. Its sound was so endearing for her to peer her unfocused eyes to the bird. She then realised that she had left the window at the living room ajar to let out the dust as soon as she arrived at this old house. Then , she forgot to close it. Thankfully , nothing bad happened and she too didn't get flu for being exposed to cold night air for the whole night.

Yesterday , after she finished her mission at the Mansion West Wing , she went back to her adopted parents' house at the countryside of the West City after three years she had not gone back. To her , the house had no meaning even if she returned home. Only sadness waiting for her at that house. However , she decided to push herself and fight the sadness this time around. So the journey back home took her almost another three hours. To save the balance money in her bank account , she only took taxi to the nearest bus terminal and bought a ticket back to her hometown. Luckily , there was a fixed trip that travelled to her hometown from the city.

Unlike Mansion West Wing , this house was very mediocre with its moderate house size. The whole area was 1/50 of the mansion. There was no fence separating the house and the walkaway pavement. The house only had three bedroom , a kitchen area that have a dining table in the middle s.p.a.ce and a small living room. The biggest room was the master room naturally occupied by her late adopted parents , the medium sized room was the guest room and the smallest one was her room.

Because the house was so lonely , she didn't dare to sleep in any of the room so she just spent the night laying on the couch in the living room for the entire night. She always been this carefree since she was small and mom kept on nagging at her to fix this behaviour. Sadly , no one would remind her again and again anymore since three years ago. She really missed hearing those nagging and it somehow turned to be the medicine for her insomnia. Once the dawn almost hit the night , she would imagine the voice of her mother as if she was still around her at that moment.

Looking at that Blue Jay, her mind drifted back to the past where she was only twelve years old. To her , Lucy Wilson was the most loving mother in this whole universe.

One day, Lucy told her about the story of Blue Jay bird or popularly known as Blue Jay. Blue Jay was a symbol of loyalty and endurance as they kept the same partner for the rest of its life. They are aggressive to any potential attackers who aimed to destroy their home. If you get too close to its nests, it may bite you till bleeding.

Her mother once witnessed a fragile Blue Jay fought with a huge owl roost that was nearby its nest. Perhaps the Blue Jay thought that its home was in danger and the owl was about to attack so it made an advanced move to the owl and its action agitated the owl. Both of ended up fighting however shockingly that weak bird managed to defeat defeat the owl, leaving a big part of the owl with no feathers on its body. Most likely that the Blue Jay knew its advantage over the owl during the daytime as the owl didn't have clear sight during the day so the Blue Jay exploited its upper hand to finally beat the owl although in term of size , the owl definitely won.

"Mia my daughter, do you want to be like the Blue Jay ?"

"Yes , mommy. It's so small but it has the power to fight the big bird."

"So , one day , if mommy and daddy are no longer by your side , can you protect yourself afterwards?"

"Mommy … why do you say like that ? I want to live with both of you forever. I'll follow mommy and daddy wherever both of you go. You won't abandon your daughter right mommy?"

"Even if when you get married? Don't you want to spend your life with your prince charming my daughter?"

"Hurmm … only if that prince is like daddy then I'll get marry with him … hehe"

"My daughter, don't forget that other than mommy and daddy , you also have this one more person. This person had been with you since the day you were born into this world and also she will continue to stay beside you until your last breath."

"Hah? There's such person? Where's she? Why I didn't see her at all? All this while , only mommy and daddy by my side and it's enough for me. I can't be so greedy. Later Santa won't give me present." She was clueless and at the same time curious about the person her mother referring to.

Her mother just smiled upon seeing her obvious interest in knowing the ident.i.ty of the person she mentioned.

"My daughter , promise me that you'll never leave this person nor forget her regardless of what happened in the future. You'll always accompany her for the rest of your life." Her mother responded to her curiosity while placing her right palm on her own left chest.

Mia was a clever child so she didn't have problem to decipher the gesture made by her mother along with the words her mother said. Realising the interpretation behind those small sign yet carried a very significant meaning , she looked down to her laps before she rea.s.sured the answer with her mother.

"Is that person my own self , mommy?"

"Mia, in life , there's only one person that could never betray you unless you betray her first. Even so, that person will never leave you behind. She will come for you when you need her. So, treasure this person and love her more than anything else. If you want to love someone, this person should be your first love. Not some other people because one day, those people will leave you and at worst, they will take you away from the one that loves you the most."

"The one that loves me the most?" She felt mixed emotions overwhelming inside her. At one point , she wanted to jump in joy when she heard that there was someone that would always be with her and loved her the most but at the same time, she felt sadness rus.h.i.+ng through her heart.

"Yes, the one that loves you the most is yourself. If anyone says that they love you the most, it means they are lying. Don't lose yourself for the sake of others. They are not worthy. The only person that is worthy of your love is yourself."
