SCARLETT'S TEARS
VISIT TO THE PARLOUR
Alejandro's driver's car was traveling at speed towards the border town of Champaign.
Scarlett clasped her husband's fingers tightly, leaning her head against Alejandro's shoulder.
Alejandro closed the car barrier so that more privacy for him and Scarlett.
"Scarlett what was your childhood you spent in that house?", asked Alejandro as he returned Scarlett's hand.
"Yes Ale, that's where I spent my childhood through adolescence. My father went to Merciel's estate when I was sleeping. Because the location of our distant home with the plantation made my father have to leave me when I was asleep" replied Scarlett. There was pain in every word.
"When I was a kid, I was used to it. I had no right to cry because I was alone when I woke up. It felt like there was a very expensive cry, I had no right to cry' until I held that cry in my heart . I remember once for the first time I realized that my father always left me alone when it was still dark. How my tears dried up by themselves, That was the last time I cried.
I think I was five or six years old then."
Alejandro kissed the head of Scarlett. And tightened his hand.
"Until I ventured to the parlor next to our house. I'm so happy there not feeling lonely and scared anymore. Catherine's mother was very kind to me. Ever since then whenever my father was gone I was not afraid and felt alone, I was accepted to play in the parlour as I pleased" Scarlett said with a bitter smile recalling her past.
"I never regretted having that moment. For me the past will remain a past that will become a memory in the present or later. With the rigors of my life, making me struggle to make learning valuable so that I can be as strong as possible to realize the dream".
Alejandro nodded his head, gently rubbing Scarlett's face.
"Scarlett, where was your mother then ?"
"I haven't had Ale's mother since I was born. According to my father my mother never expected my presence, so it left me at birth to this world" Scarlett said with a trembling voice as she rubbed the clear circles in her eyes that fell on her cheeks.
"My mother was so happy with me. When I heard he had firmly left me and my father, my heart was closed. I don't want to look for him. Let me never know him in my whole life. Make me live my life is not lacking in affection because it has a father and family home" Scarlett said softly with tears.
Alejandro rubbed the tears that soaked Scarlett's face and gently kissed the two irises that still had the remains of her tears.
Alejandro did not expect his wife's childhood to be so miserable like that. He did not even know the face of the woman who gave birth to him into this world.
After a while, Juan's car entered the courtyard.
As soon as he saw a car enter the courtyard, the faces of the children looked very happy.
Seeing Scarlett and Alejandro coming over, they ran to hug Scarlett and Alejandro's bodies.
While Juan brought all the gifts that had been prepared for the residents of the orphanage into the house.
Shortly after, two cars entered the courtyard. Moza and Javier get out of the car and bring a fruit basket and some tote bags to Scarlett and Alejandro who are still standing with the children.
While the other car, looks down Olivia alone with a lot of food boxes.
Catherine's mother welcomed all her guests with happy faces. And invite everyone into the house next to Scarlett's old house. The house has become a spacious building after renovation by Alejandro.
"Let's go in, after just having a meal at my childhood home" Scarlett said. And followed by everything.
