Chapter 25: Wrong Prediction
ELEANOR MIA POV
"Let's go inside," I said and smiled with my daughter while holding one of her hands and facing the orphanage.
"Okay, Mom." After we ate at Jollibee earlier, we immediately went to this orphanage to donate a small amount so that my hard-earned money could go somewhere good.
"Ms. Aberra, thank you for visiting here again, it's been a long time since you last came here." Sister Mary greeted us.
"Good day sister Mary, I'm sorry if I only came back now." I apologize to her, my last visit to this orphanage was when I was pregnant with Fia during the days when I was still in Adam's mansion while waiting for his return which he did not fulfill.
"Who is the beautiful girl with you? Don't say that she was the child you were pregnant with” She asked with a smile and immediately approached my daughter who was right next to me.
"Yes sister, she is Fiorenza Fia Aberra, my youngest daughter," I answered her.
"Too beautiful child who inherited from her mother, come and enter that way so I can introduce that child to the children here." After she said that, she immediately brought us inside the orphanage and I can say that the orphanage improved a bit.
"Sister, why is the orphanage so much better than the last time I went here?" I asked sister Mary while looking around the orphanage.
"I will first take your daughter to the children in the garden before I tell you about the events of your last visit here at the orphanage." Sister Mary said.
"Alright sister, I'll go around here first, and princess, always be kind." I remind my daughter who now smiles and nods at me. Sister Mary signaled to me that they were leaving for the garden, I just nodded before walking towards the paintings that were attached to the wall of the orphanage's living room.
While I was looking at the paintings that were hanging, I couldn't help but smile, when it came to the paintings, my blood was alive and I was excited to paint again but I had long forgotten all of that.
Inside Adam's house at that time, I discovered a room that was quite hidden, and knowing that the CCTV cameras inside the mansion could not see it, every night I would leave Adam's side to go there and paint, all of what I painted there was almost the entire corner of Adam's mansion and Adam's face while sleeping.
I don't know if he already knew that I filled that room with paint because when I discovered it there were stuck materials that could be used for painting, I also don't know whose room it was.
“Did you like that painting?” I almost jumped because of Sister Mary's sudden appearance without me even realizing it.
"Yes, sister Mary, that painting is very beautiful and I don't know why I’m so familiar with that one because I seem to have seen it before, I just can't remember where," I answered sister Mary while still looking at a painting that was so beautifully painted.
It is a flower that is different from all the others, black is the color, and with butterflies around it. I know there is a saying in this painting, I just don't know what it is.
"That painting came from a child, he was not from here in the orphanage but he always stayed here before, that child also liked to paint but because of the cruelty of his father he could not pursue his love of painting." Sister said sadly while also looking at that painting.
"How did he stop painting sister?" I asked sister Mary curiously.
"Do you know, I just hung that painting there on the last day because it had been hidden in the orphanage's warehouse for a long time." Sister Mary's story.
"That boy is very kind, but it's been a long time since I saw him and that painting was the last thing he left here."
"Do you think that painting has meaning, sister?" I asked Sister and once again observed the beauty of the painting.
"Yes, there’s a story of that boy when he started painting that thing." Sister Mary said in her low voice.
"What is that?" I asked.
"That painting is the meaning of that boy's life, do you notice that instead of a red rose, it became black?" She asked me. I nodded at her question because I also noticed the color of the rose.
"The world is so dark and cruel to him, daughter."
"What do you say, sister?"
"His parents are very cruel to him, they came to the point where they control his life, from what I heard his father is a very cruel billionaire in the world and his mother is very strict with him."
"He doesn't want the life his father wants for him, but he can't do anything until he tells me the story of the girl who captured his heart." I can see the light of happiness in sister Mary's eyes as she said that.
"The butterflies around that black rose in the painting are what gave life to that boy, because he says that he is the black rose from hell while the butterfly around is the Angel that he will never let go.” The last words of Sister who messed me up.
"Are you joking sister? He has so many angels because there are so many butterflies around him."
"That's why there are so many butterflies around because even if one disappears, the others will continue to stay with him, that's because no matter where in the world those butterflies fly, he will make sure that they will return and they will always return to their true origin. There is an owner among them, and if only one returns, that only means that there is only one left and will remain by his side, but the replacement will be lost." I was suddenly horrified by what Sister said.
"What do you mean sister?" I asked her weakly.
"You will know that too because that is the fate of the two of you." She smiled and patted my shoulder a little.
"Let's go and visit the children in the garden, I know you will be happy when you see the children playing with your child." I just ignored what sister Mary said earlier and followed her to the garden with a smile.
We got to the garden and I saw how my daughter was chased by other kids, she ran so cutely and her beautiful smile came back, just seeing my youngest daughter smiling made me feel relieved.
"They say rightly that what is the tree is also the fruit." Sister Mary said something that I did not understand because what she said was too weak and did not reach my ears.
"Sister, I forgot to ask who helped you and how the orphanage improved," I asked with a smile as we just stood on the side and watched the children playing.
"Many people are helping this orphanage, and all of them are among the rich in our country, if I'm not mistaken Atticus is one of the second billionaires in this country who will also go to the orphanage sometime."
"But I don't touch the amounts they donate unless it's necessary, and sometimes I also help other orphanages that lack donations, that's what makes me wonder why this orphanage is filled with donations from the rich. but in other orphanages, no one helped at all." She asked wonderingly which also made me think.
"But I just ignored it and readily accepted their help." Sister Mary said.
"Do you think, sister Mary, that the help they are giving you is worthless?" I asked her.
"I didn't know that." She let out a deep breath when she said that.
"Sister! Brother Atticus is here again!” I heard a child scream.
"Let’s go, I will introduce you to him because that boy seems to have come again." Sister Mary pulled me inside the orphanage and we found the man sitting on the sofa.
"Atticus, you didn't even say you would come today." Sister Mary greeted him.
"Sister, you know where I'm going." He laughed and said before waving to sister Mary, he just noticed me and I saw how his eyes widened.
"Ms. Eleanor?” He asked in surprise.
"How did you know my name, mister?" I asked him in wonder.
"Ah, I guessed nothing because you are so beautiful and your name suits you, can I take a picture with you?" His smile turned mischievous which surprised me.
Even though I was confused, I let him take a picture of me because I couldn't refuse, especially since he suddenly came to me and put his arm around me.
"That's enough Atticus, what did you come here for?" Sister asked and sat on the sofa so I sat down.
"Nothing sister, I just came to visit, and look at how beautiful she is." He smiled and said as if what he said meant something but I just ignored it and just listened to what they were talking about to tell you his story was pure nonsense that just made me shake my head.Download Novelah App
