Tale Of The Half-Blood Wizard

After visiting Emma's mother, I could not go home right away. The hospital was quite far from my home, let alone, it was two o'clock in the early morning.

I quite disliked the smells in the hospital, perhaps it was due to my experience of staying there foe pretty long time. Seeing Emma was asleep on a chair in the waiting room with her brother, I decided to go out for something to keep me awake. There was a in market nearby so I headed there.

"Hey ugly girl, why did you leave me?" I was starlet to hear familiar voice. Mickey walked toward me. His thick fur was fluffy and his grey tail wagged like a duster. "I had no idea where to get off. You are such rebellious child, treating a respectable witch cat very badly! Did you realize that," he was really upset.

My expression was level when he chattered angrily. "Do you want to eat? Come on, I bu you the most delicious sausages here," I tried to comfort him as I did not to prolong this issue any longer.

Instantly his expression changed, "Give me two, please," he whimpered.

We chose a place near the hospital gate to eat our meal, while seeing cars come andgo. It was pretty entertaining for me, like jumping out of vicious circle of life.

"Did you meet Kerberos?"I asked him carefully.

"He is looking for you, too. He met the Manji and they said you gave them three fire lilies without asking for any wishes," said Mickey while chewing his food.

I took a deep breath and looked at that cat's eyes deeply. "I was not ready," it was truthful. "I felt that I would ruin the existed laws and was being so selfish, even though you would look for a victim for me and to wake Zie to live. I wanted him badly but I just could not be so selfish. To tell the truth, my mental state was not that strong and I would be likely to regret it so much if I did it,".

Mickey moved closer to me, his sapphire eyes looked at me seriously, "Do you know, that not everyone has the ability that you have at this time?" I shook, "I only am grateful that the skill did not go to the wrong person,"

I smiled and held him on my arms, "I just want to be with him as long as that magic spells still attached to him. There are things that need to be changed and there are things need to be leave as they are." I ruffled his grey fur as speaking.

…

That day I came to the florist alone because Emma was staying in hospital. My counseling schedule was even dropped, and I chose to sit on the cashier chair to serve the customers. I also needed to deliver fresh flowers to the offices that hired live flowers from our florist.

Those flowers needed to be replaced with other fresh ones every week. I really wished I could duplicate into two so that I could do all those works in a day.

A white golden retriever dog was standing in front of the florist door, and that dog was familiar for me, "I finally found you," I was right. It was Kerberos.

I opened the door and asked him in. "You were gone from the inn all of sudden without leaving any words," I was annoyed.

"Sorry, I just could not leave the realm spirit for too long," he explained. "There were sudden problems. The Manjis threw a tantrum, they wanted to trade the spirits, but later they wanted to cancel it. I thought someone found fire lily and went to meet them for a help. But I wondered dropped what they usually did. Then I decided to meet them, and it was in fact you did it," Kerberos was a bit upset.

I did not say anything, I was just amused to see that dog.

Mickey that was just asleep on the cashier desk, stood up to approach us. He moved toward Kerberos and, "Pow!" the front leg of that cat slapped the dpg's face, "Silly!" he snapped. I simply looked at it, especially to the innocent's expression of the keeper of spirit realm.

"What are you doing meat buns?" Kerberos barked loudly. I could not hold my laughter anymore. It was so good we could get together again.

…

Fifteen minutes passed, I was waiting in a restaurant not far from my campus. Today I would meet my mother. I did not know how long it had passed, she was finally willing to meet me. She also asked my brother to come, although I was sure he would come late

Hardly to say it precisely what kind of emotions I had in my heart as a daughter to see her own mother. Were nervous, afraid, and confused not to know what to say to her be common reaction to all children to meet their mothers?.

A woman wearing white suit with the hair tied low came to me. Her make-up was so natural. I was a bit confused when she touched my shoulder and seated in front of me in a relaxed way. I did not know her, 'Who is she?'

"Your brother will be here in twenty minutes," As she said, she put on her glasses and checked her cell phone.

"What the—,"Ii did not have any ideas at all that that woman was my mother. How bid was the change compare to the one when we met ten years ago or nine. I could noy imagne what she had done to have such drastic change.

"How is your study? Have you done it? I got a report that your scores were good but you took too many leaves. I hope you will complete your report this year," her words flew like flash flood. Even when she spoke like that she was not more than a stranger for me that suddenly became so intimate..

"Fine," that was all I could say. It was still so confusing for me as well as saddened.

Thank God, my brother came not long after that. He smiled to me and to my mother, then sat down with us like a stranger. I did not have ideas what too bring up for the topics, only sipping my drink on and off and ate the cake my mother ordered.

My brother was also did not speak much. They had disharmonic relationship, especially since he got married. My mother did not like the girl he chose to marry, but my brother kept his relationship and eventually married her.

"How are you doing, Tha?" It was just a lip service.
