Sold To The Wicked Him

” And here we present to you, the son and daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Lazarus, Lian Lazarus and Lia Lazarus!”

Its been years since the two announced to the world the birth of Lea, but it was the very first time that they finally introduce Lia and Lian to the world.

“You have such beautiful daughter and handsome son Lea”

“It is good to see you again, Aiya. Where is Aielle?”

“Elton took that kid, they will be right back here soon”

Smiling, a small tap suddenly call Lea’s attention.

“Mira!”

She giggled in excitement as it has been so long since they last met each other

“How have you been?”

Friends is something you can find easily. But true friendship is the one that is hard to find, hard to build. That is why for some people, they treasures it so much. Since they value the bond they build.

“I am doing good. Wait, is that you cecil?”

Surprised as she saw the daughter of Sylphia and Luther together with Mira’s child, Remi. It was a surprise for her.

“Hola Tia Lea, Tia Aiya” Cecil greeted smiling as she held Remi’s hands. They are years younger than Lia, Lian, and Aielle.

“It is nice to see you all again. you two grow much taller than the last time I saw you. Your sister lia and brother lian is still with your uncle”

Hugging Lea from her back, Sylphia had a smile on her face as she saw how surprised Lea was.

“Sylphia, I know you are also here”

They say that time flies so fast and surely it is flying faster much more than what we thought. New friends, no love ones, new family, but there is still one thing that will remain. Once it part of your heart, it would be hard to take it out of it.

“I am happy they are having a good life”

Smiling as he saw the news, a man can be seen holding a camera who just took a photo of the said kid of Lazarus.

“Oh you are there Ryle! Come here look what I have found. See? Isn’t this such a good discovery?”

“That was… a…”

“Yes! The extract of cavinona leaves”

With big smile on her face, she can’t help but be glad in what she was holding.

“Did Lino approve that study?”

“Yup, or course. Even sylphia funded this. Isn’t it great”

Brushing Sam’s hair, Brylle had a smile on her face.

“Good job”

“What-”C0ntent © 2024 (N/ô)velDrama.Org.

That isn’t something he usually do. for he isn’t that kind of person to treat others like that. Now he is acting as if he saw her as his little sister

“Hey, are you… alright?”

A small silence before he finally answer, Brylle just smile.

“Yeah”

“O… okay”

Although not all words that was said to us was true. Since it is part of a human to lie. Even if it is meant lying for themselves. And sometimes, even no matter how much we want to help someone, there are times that all we can do is just stay with them. Because no one else can help them than themselves.

“Eh? Where are you going?”

“Just gonna go for a stroll’

Leaving his friend, Brylee bid his farewell. Heading in the direction of a place he just had the chance to visit just now.

“How long has it been? Brother?”

Even though he was certain that no one would dare answer him as the one he was talking to was just a cold stone of a tomb.

A tomb where the bones of his dear old brother is buried

“You didn’t had a good fate… and so does I…”

Bitter trail of a smile can be seen on his face as he chuckle in a bit. The cold air touches his skin as its breeze seems to hug him.

“Maybe what your father said is indeed true…”

Looking at the dried leaves scattered on Paul Marney’s tomb, he brushes it with his hands as he remember the very words that Paul’s father once said. Paul’s father is a good man who was betrayed by his wife who brought in a child from other man. And sadly, that very child is none other than him, Brylle

“No wicked with live a happy life, the heavens will surely have its way…”

Chuckling as he mumbles those very words, Brylle can’t help but gulp as it was the only thing he can do.

He did many bad things. He even killed people… something he never once repent on. For it was what he can do. for it was the only thing that would let him live.

Even though Paul isn’t his full blood brother, even if he is the son of the real husband of his mother, he may have treated him like that but he still hold a feeling of attachment to that guy.

In the world that brush him away the very time his dear mother left the world, it was only Paul who saved him in that darkness. It was him who guided him and gives him a path to walk into.

If there is a sin he did that he wants to make up on, it would be the fact that he hurt Lea.

“Maybe I am really cursed… I finally got the payment that I deserve…”

Smiling as he dare not shred a tears, even if he may not look like it, his heart was broken. Not just into two or three or four… but in countless of pieces that even him doesn’t know.

So many years… so many days have passed by but still, only one person remain on his heart. only one person can do that since he was sure that it is carved not just in his heart and mind but in his very soul.

It is something that would be hard to forget no matter how much he tried to. It is something that he can never let go, no matter how much he needs to do so.

“Lea… Lazarus…”

And as the droplets of rain started to fall, the sky suddenly turns dark. Even the heavens are siding him even once…

“I am not sure if I am lucky that I met you… but it if can see you again.. if I go back in time and the only thing I can meet you is by doing all of that again…”

His clothes are finally soaked in water. Droplets turns big as it can no logger be called a small rain. It is getting heavy. Creating small pools of muddy rain pud.

“I will still gladly do so… but I will makes sure… to never hurt you just like what I did before… maybe by that… this feeling I had will be lessen by bit…”

A love that was created, a love that happened but all in the past.

Love can change people, love can hurt them too. Love can heal people, love can break them too.

Love is something we can’t fully define as almost all of the things in the world can be related to love… even the pain…

And sadly, in most cases, not all love was given back. Because no matter how much we badly wanted it to be… I wont be. It will never be

And that is the sad reality of the world, that is the sad reality that most of us face.

“Goodbye… for the best… brother”

Throwing a piece of flower he had on his hands, Brylle left the tomb as he walks away with the rain from the water pouring down his whole body.

Not wiping his face even if it was wet from the thousands of raindrop, Brylle let himself bath under the rain. As if it was the only thing he can do to wash away the sadness he was feeling. As if it w as the only thing he can do. not fighting back and just letting it be.

And part that he doesn’t know or he doesn’t want to admit, but the water falling down his cheeks isn’t all water from the rain.

What it was is something he would never admit to himself.
