When The Night Come
Christmas Eve
Ares and Nea enjoy snowing together. The soft chords of white granules were descending gracefully, making them feel happy. In that atmosphere, suddenly a memory flashed through Ares' mind.
Europe 24 December 1847
Rows of orange-colored clouds combined with pink, decorate the sky at dusk. It looks then the residents who are clutching a brown bag containing their groceries. There are also those who rush home after work and so forth. Some of the bad trains go back and forth alternately.
The streets are decorated with piles of cold white grains, did not dampen the desire of Briallen and Noxita to go out to enjoy the atmosphere of the city on Christmas Eve. Noxita who wears a bright pink dress, with a warm coat made of white fleece with a white hat. Embrace the arm of his lover.
Briallen was wearing a white suit with a bit of gold ornament on the edge of the suit he was wearing. The brooch engraved with the coat of arms of the Duke Vangelis Family adorned the front of his sturdy chest. A sight that can make anyone amazed at the compatibility of the couple.
They walked hand in hand while enjoying the atmosphere presented at this Vangelis Duchy. A prosperous region, where the main income comes from gemstone mining. Tanzanite. A city within the scope of Vangelis Duchy.
In addition to the results of gemstone mining, the Vangelis region also has fertile soil. Until their agricultural sector was developed and abundant. And make supplies for the winter is also sufficient.
That was Tanzanite City, a city dotted with rows of mountains that towered around the region. Place of birth ‘Black Rose of Destruction'.
The two of them walked down the bustle of the city streets. Over and over Xita is almost hit or nudged by another pedestrian, but Allen swiftly secures and protects Xita.
“Where are we going Allen?” noxita asked curiously.
“Ke Orphanage dear,” Briallen replied gently.
“An orphanage? But I did not prepare anything for them,” sadly Noxita lowered her head. Briallen, who saw her lover, said.
“Quiet Xita, everything I have prepared.”
“But still I did not bring anything,” Noxita replied sadly. Briallen looked around and found the cake shop's plaque, got an idea.
“Don't be sad baby! How about we buy some cake at the front cake shop,” proposed Briallen while showing a cake shop in front of them.
“Alright! But I bought it myself!” order Noxita so that Briallen does not disturb her shopping.
“I–iya darling. Buy what you want,” Briallen just say yes, look a sweat decorate his forehead.
“OK, let’s go!” the enthusiastic Noxita. He dragged his girlfriend to the cake shop immediately.
Arriving at the cake shop, Noxita immediately bought some cakes and cookies and other small cakes. Briallen could only widen his eyes, when he saw Noxita's groceries. After ordering to immediately send the groceries to the Tanzanite Orphanage, they again walked hand in hand to go there.
For Briallen and Noxita, spending time walking together is more beautiful. Than to take the train. Be happier when stepping down the streets, while enjoying the scenery available.
The Tanzanite orphanage is a place that receives, cares for and educates abandoned or orphaned children. There they will be guided to be independent, as they mature or as they are adopted. According to Duke Vangelis, citizens should also be able to read and write. Kendrick and Cecile de Roosevelt. The Duke and Duchess require their citizens to learn to read and write.
Arriving at the Panti, Briallen immediately invited Noxita to enter. They were both greeted by children running around, playing games, crying babies. It looks like chaos. A middle-aged woman who saw their arrival, immediately told the children to calm down.
“Kids!” his orders. The children were obedient and calm. They lined up neatly and greeted Briallen and Noxita.
“Welcome Mr and Miss,” said they were in unison. Noxita who witnessed it all, felt an awkwardness. As he was about to look closely, the baby's cry grew louder. Noxita immediately approached the baby.
“What is this?” noxita asked when she got to the baby's place. Seeing the baby, Noxita was immediately surprised.
“Why leave it alone?! His face was red, his crying did not stop either. The body is also hot high!?” Noxita questioned all that. The nurses were silent and no one dared to speak.
“Allen, quickly call a doctor here!” noxita orders after she holds the baby. The little baby became rather calm, when held by Noxita.
“Smart child.”
Briallen returned with a doctor and immediately examined the baby. Noxita who feels strange with the state of the Panti child. Some of them were unwell, the children were also seen to have punched wounds when Noxita looked closely.
“Allen ..” Noxita approached Briallen and told him everything she found while whispering. Briallen's expression seemed to change, he was shocked when he heard what Noxita had told him.
Indeed he felt strange, when he went to this orphanage. They did not prepare anything for Christmas. Isn't the funds given by the Duke a lot? Briallen was confused and did not expect this.
“Good Xita. Just leave all this to us,” said Briallen slowly. Noxita smiled and invited the Panti children to eat the cake he bought earlier.
The two of them did not want to destroy the Christmas Eve that the children dreamed of. So Briallen simply informed and ordered his bodyguards to immediately report to the Duke for what he found. To be investigated quickly.
“Nah, please enjoy her cake!” all the children of Panti sat sweetly on the dining table chair with cake in front of them. The children stared at the cake with sparkling eyes.
“Thank you Miss Rosaceae!” yell them in unison and start eating their cake. Noxita was satisfied, looking at their happy smile.
Noxita looked back at the baby. He also breathed a sigh of relief, when the heat of the baby had gone down and he was calm.
“Sgratitude.”
Briallen smiled at his lover. She felt that Noxita was a woman who had a very visible maternal side. And that was one of the things he liked about the girl who owned his heart.
Noxita looked towards Briallen, and the young man returned his gaze with a gentle smile. Making Noxita's cheeks meet red and throw her face. The fact that Noxita still blushed in embarrassment as she looked at him, made Briallen astonished. But it was enjoyed by the young man with pleasure.
“Pfft ..”
After the children finished eating their cake, neatly and regularly they made a line in front of the Young Master of the Vangelis family. One by one they received the gifts that Briallen had prepared. With a happy smile, they carried the gift in his hand. Noxita was beside him, helping to distribute the gifts. All the residents of the Panti get a gift from Briallen.
A happy and sincere smile emanated from the faces of all Panti children. They thanked the young Master and Miss very much. Briallen and Noxita were satisfied to see the happiness the children of Panti showed.
“No problem, for the sake of their happy smile. We are willing and happy to share,” Noxita said while holding the baby whose fever had healed. The nurse's mother smiled gently, her tired-looking eyes made Noxita rather sad.
After they get a thank you and a cheerful smile of children. Briallen and Noxita resign. Time shows at 7 p.m., they're walking down the street. Then Briallen took Noxita into a fancy restaurant. They sat at the table that Briallen had ordered beforehand.
After the ordered dishes came, they ate with occasional glances at each other. In their hearts, they feel very grateful. Because he met and had a lover like him. After dinner, Briallen took his girlfriend back to a place.
There was music and laughter as they approached the place. The town square is crowded by residents who celebrate and enjoy Christmas Eve celebrations. The sight made Noxita's eyes sparkle and a wide smile expands on her lips.
Not much different from other celebrations, the celebration at Vangelis Duchy is also full of various typical festival trinkets. There are those who sell food, accessories, games, and performances are also present there. Briallen and Noxita tried one by one every food sold. Do not forget to also buy accessories that attract his attention.
“Xita. Here's to you,” a bracelet in pink gemstones, Briallen gave it to her. Noxita accepted it with pleasure.
“Thank you Allen,” the red hue is seen as Noxita smiles happily.
Noxita was about to wear it immediately, but she seemed to have difficulty installing the bracelet. Eventually Briallen volunteered to help put up his bracelet. While saying in my heart.
“Xita I will not want to trouble others for small things, even if he gets into trouble though.”
“It's a shame,” said Briallen when finished pairing the bracelet on Noxita's wrist. The girl then gave a kiss on the white cheek of the young man. Briallen was momentarily stunned as she felt Noxita's soft lips on her cheeks.
Upon awakening, his hand was pulled by Noxita towards the Piano placed near the fountain. Noxita looked at Briallen's face and said.
“Allen. Play a song for me,” ask the girl with teary eyes. Unable to see the glassy gaze of his lover, he immediately sat down and began to play the piano keys.
Everyone was happy to hear the music from the piano that Briallen was playing, they started to dance and cheerfully. Not spared from the sight of Briallen, Noxita who enjoys the soft strains of the lover. His fingers danced over those neatly lined black and white keys. When the game was over, Briallen received a standing ovation from all the people watching the show.
“How is Miss?” goda Briallen as he approaches Noxita. Noxita gave 2 thumbs up to the young man. The owner of the blue sapphire bead could only smile gently at the girl of his puja.
The night is getting late, the clock shows at 10 p.m. The celebration is getting crowded. Briallen and Noxita were dancing to music played by residents. They danced beautifully, looking at it like they were looking at a masterpiece of art.
The beautiful Briallen, and the beautiful Noxita. Mismatched couples, who look like they are destined for each other. To make anyone who sees them, as if being purified of all evil.
“Allen ..” Noxita called out in a soft voice, making the owner of the name look at her with a loving gaze.
“What's dear?” saith.
“I feel very happy!” noxita exclaimed with a carefree smile.
“Akupun also felt it Xita,” said Briallen while doing the last dance movement and received a standing ovation again.
After dancing, the two of them headed to a garden chair. While carrying a bowl of warm soup that they bought before. Enjoying the festive festivities of Christmas Eve, Noxita became curious.
“Allen, why in Tanzanite there is a Christmas Eve celebration like this Festival?”
“Hum ... Because this is a hereditary tradition from my dear great-grandfather,” he replied. Noxita looked around.
“Because all Tanzanite citizens are family and Christmas Eve is synonymous with celebrating with family dong,” he added while spending his soup. Just then Noxita's soup had run out as well.
“Mari Nona,” Briallen reached out his hand to Noxita, grabbed by the hand of the young man by Noxita. And take him somewhere.
