Chapter 2: Yzak Joule and Ezalia Joule- Unforgettable Day
A nine years old boy stood before a flower shop. He had been standing there the whole afternoon staring intensely at the different kind of flowers.
The shopkeeper and her assistants had been trying to offer their help for the past hour but being Yzak Joule, he refusing their help is a very common sight. Even from very young, his arrogant and cold behavior was what others despised yet afraid of.
At last, he seemed to have decided what flower to buy. He strolled over to the shopkeeper and smirked proudly. "I want a bouquet of rose." He ordered. The shopkeeper glanced at Yzak briefly and scampered away.
After paying money, Yzak walked out of the shop and strolled lazily back home. He looked at what he had now. He had a Mother's Day card, a gift wrapped nicely with a plain navy blue wrapping paper and a yellow ribbon tied around it and a bouquet of rose that he had just bought.
"That should be enough." Yzak thought.
He reached his home soon. Yzak opened the house door to find a silence house greeting him. He sighed. Sir Joule and Ezalia Joule had not yet reached home, probably still in a meeting. He stared at the house for a minute, almost not wanting to believe this home was his.
Yzak sighed again and closed the door behind him. It was Mother's Day! Can't she just take a rest and learn to appreciate this day meant for mother? Yzak shook his head and went to place the things held in his hand on the dinning table.
"I might as well cook dinner for them." Yzak mumbled.
Ezalia looked at the time and yawned tiredly. The meeting had turned out longer than she expected. Sir Joule drove the car into their driveway. "You go in first. I'll park the car." Sir Joule told Ezalia. Sir Joule then tapped his chin "Oh Ezalia?" She turned to look at him, "Yes?"
Sir Joule cringed, "Nope, nothing. I don't seem to remember what I was going to tell you. Nevermind." Ezalia nodded slightly and went into the house.
The house was lighted. Ezalia found Yzak sleeping soundly, his head lay on his crisscross hands on the table. Ezalia smiled at his son tiredly. She turned her gaze towards the dinner on the table. The dishes on the table had turned cold. Ezalia stared at the dishes pitifully. It was rarely that his son cooked and she could not eat it piping hot.
Then it struck her that he should be in bed by now. Why would he be lying here?
Something on the other side of the table caught her attention. It was a bouquet of roses. Roses were her favorites. She went over and picked up the bouquet of roses. Something white sticks out of the roses. She pulled it out to find a card with Yzak's neat handwriting,
To Ezalia Joule, dearest mother
Happy Mother's Day!
Yzak Joule, your son.
"Mother's Day?" Ezalia looked at the card confusedly. Her eyes traveled to the calendar hanged on the wall.
She gasped, "I had forgotten today is Mother's Day!"
Her exclaim woke up Yzak. "W-what!" Yzak's head shot up and his eyes rested on his mother. "Mother? You are back?" Yzak yawned tiredly. Her mother's eyes unwillingly brimmed up with touched tears.
She enveloped his son in a big hug, which she normally would not do. Yzak, to say, was so surprised he nearly fell off the chair but his mother held him firmly. Sir Joule was also just coming in himself when he remembered what he was going to tell his wife. He was going to tell her today is Mother's Day. "Oh Ezalia, I remember what I was going to tell you now."
Both mother and son turned to look at Sir Joule. Sir Joule in returned, stared at the hugging mother and son, then he turned to look at the flowers and present. A smile crept up onto his face. "Well, I think you already know."
That night, after warming up the dishes, the Joule family settled down to have supper. Happiness clearly shown on everyone's face, especially on Ezalia Joule.
A/N: Though not very long but I hope you enjoyed this chapter. I was going to write about Dearka first but somehow Yzak turned up to be first. Guess he can't lose to Athrun, huh?
