Chapter Five
"Help! Help!" Yelled the leader kid as he became noisier. His yells were totally hearable from the castle.
"Mommy! I want my mommy!" One of the boys said as he fell on the floor, dropping then the dagger he was holding.
"Calm down!" There was nothing else I could find to say. Everybody knew the stubbornness a brat can be, especially these ones.
"Help! She is hurting us!" The leader of the bratty gang yelled stronger than ever.
"W-What? Hurting?" What kind of brats you can meet in your life? Sheesh.
"What's happening here?" A well dressed man took one of the boys and held him up as this one stopped crying out loud.
"Daddy! She… She was threatening me!" The brat answered.
"Now now, excusing me but, I am quite tired of the kids lies." I said while leaving the heavy rectangular box on the floor. Man that feel ten times better.
"What?" The father of the leader brat looked at his son.
"… Daddy! She was threatening!" The leader brat began to cry again.
"…Please…" I showed nothing else then a tired expression.
"What were you doing to my son?" Wait, did the father react on me?
"Excuse me but, your son has been pointing at me with a dagger. I'd appreciate if he wasn't taking sharp things on his hands and point them on people." I remained calm, far beyond what I could.
"My son?" The father looked into his son while carrying him. "Is it true?" He asked.
"W-What? N-No! Never! I never lie Dad!" I heard that lie speechless and coughed as slightly as I could.
"Please stop lying; if you excuse me, he is with a sharp thing. I would like to say he should not be playing wit it." I mentioned.
"N-No, you know who you're directing with? My son would never carry anything like that! I don't know what you're intentions are but I refuse to believe in such lie!" Exclaimed the man as confusion and misunderstanding expressions drew my on my face.
"What? Wait Sir I-"
"Go! My son would never carry such things!" Exclaimed the man as I lifted the huge box and kept walking.
"…I can't believe it!" I really couldn't. What the heck was that about?
And there was the standing Ramirez, in the castle gates were the two teenaged girls walked calmly beside him. The two girls passed and he still stood, what was running on his mind? Was he even thinking?
"…Humans…" He whispered secretly as he once again lifted his gaze towards the city in front of him. He began to walk straight ahead as the tall lamp posts lightened much than before, night was falling.
"Man, in Valua it's pretty difficult to difference day or night, compared to the places we've been it can all be differenced if being inside a house!" I had already reached home carrying the over sized box to the entry; I now rested on one of the comfy sofas that were placed on the living room.
"Sohee, did you already finish?" I heard Moms' asking while I laid tiredly on the comfy sofa.
"Oh yes, believe I am done. Sheesh! I carried that over sized box! It was bigger than me!" I exclaimed with a tired hymn.
"Now finish putting your things on their places." Said Mom as her voice faded softly. Of what I could hear, Mom was pretty busy. Her footsteps from the kitchen and the next second in her room.
"I'll finish later; let me take a short break for now." I talked while lifting my upper body and finishing seated with my legs crossed on the sofa.
"Oh that's right! Mom! There was this very annoying kid back then, man he boiled the blood in me!" I exclaimed while intoning a bit of anger.
"I'll talk later." I said while standing up from the comfy sofa. I walked to the piano that stood against the wall that divided the kitchen with the living room. I lifted the wooden cover of the piano and met instantly with the black and white keys, all clean and in perfect form.
"Such in perfect form for like… seven years already?" I said while smiling.
To tell the truth, after so much of journeys, seeing the piano bright as new really made me want to play it, at least a fast song. I sat on the wooden bench covered by a thick white mantle and took position of what I was going to play.
"Theme of loneliness, wasn't it?" I began to play with no doubt left behind. Now that I am playing after a journey, it reminds me of the neighbors that can hear me, every time I am back they could just hear the piano and conclude I am in Valua again, well, that's what I think.
Ramirez stood again after the short interlude of walking from the castle gates. A piano was heard shyly from where Ramirez stood.
"Mommy, someone is playing the piano." The sweet voice of a little girl talked.
"Yes dear, now hurry before the door closes." The mother of the child said as she ignored or tried to ignore the piano making faster steps with her young daughter.
Ramirez turned his head in the direction of where the sound came, his eyes rested on one of the big houses of the Upper city; it was relatively close to the castle gates. Ramirez was already walking to the house where the piano was being played. Was Ramirez… enjoying the sound or simply followed with no other else where?
The people that walked on the streets or plazas near the house simply continued their lives, walking.
"Envy…jealousy." Spoke Ramirez in faint words while he still walked towards the houses' wide and big window. The melody was clearer and clearer; refined and somehow sensible, probably the thinking of someone hearing and concentrating on the song being played.
Walking over the short distance between where he was and the house, Ramirez thoughts were mystery its' self.
Sorrow? Reflection? Purity? The song was being played deeply, maybe with affection. There came closer the cold and mysterious Ramirez as he stood straightly and took sight of what was beyond the reflection of him through the big and wide window. A transparent white curtain covered everything from the inside, making the sight from the outside somehow blurry and not easy to see. Ramirez didn't seem to be exalted or showed curious emotions from the outside. After short moments, his emerald eyes were somehow… different. Gleaming neither in a cold or warm way…Smoothly, almost disappearing from times' own will, his lips curled…If it was because of a pleasant sight to behold or a seductive way to caress the unknown…
