Chapter 3: A reminder
Benvolio with the Irises on his hands finally got home after an hour. After passing through the crowded city, Benvolio was exhausted. When he began knocking on the door of his house, He heard footsteps from the inside approaching the door. Then the door opened and Benvolio saw it was Cordelia who opened the door, who was very worried of him. Then Cordelia said….
Cordelia: What happened? , you kept me worried dear. I thought something bad could have happen to you. I was so afraid.
Cordelia began crying, Then Benvolio comforted her by giving her a hug. Benvolio said to her…
Benvolio: That's okay I just had a nap in the garden of irises. When I woke up I realized it was already night.
Cordelia: Don't ever do that again you know what might happen to you out there.
Cordelia said still crying and worried. Then she continued…
Cordelia: I hope you won't stay out late again.
Benvolio: I promise
Cordelia: You really promise?
Benvolio: Yes I swear. Here I got you some flowers.
Cordelia wiping her tears out and got the flowers felt comforted. Then she said…
Cordelia: Thank you dear. Come in to the house you might feel cold out there. I prepared our meal already.
Benvolio: Okay dear.
Benvolio and Cordelia went inside the house, and went to the dining room for dinner. They were eating, and while eating they were talking. Benvolio was talking about what happened to him in the garden of irises, but Cordelia didn't believe the incident that happened to Benvolio back there in the garden of irises. Then she began also talking about what she did in the house while Benvolio was out. They talked and talked until it was time to sleep. At the bedroom Cordelia was beginning to fix the bed while Benvolio was sitting on his chair. Then Benvolio said…
Benvolio: Cordelia, dear if you don't believe me then help me.
Cordelia: What? about the incident that happened to you in the garden of irises?
Benvolio: Yes there might be something they want to remind me about.
Cordelia: Oh yeah!! I remember now what they want to remind you..
Benvolio: What do you remember?
Cordelia: Tomorrow is the 2nd year of the death anniversary of Romeo and Juliet. I think they want to remind us about visiting their graves tomorrow for it was them who saved Neo Verona from almost completely being destroyed 2 years ago.
Benvolio: That's right we should visit them. I think I'll offer a rose and an iris tomorrow for them.
Cordelia: That sounds like an okay gift to me. Okay tomorrow we visit them. So let's sleep already so we can be early to visit them tomorrow.
Then Cordelia went to sleep. Benvolio stood up to go visit their child in the other room. After Benvolio visited his child, who is now sound asleep. Benvolio now went the bedroom to think of something, Benvolio sitting on his chair was thinking where to get a rose flower. He was saying something in his mind…
Benvolio: Where to get a rose? … I know where to get an iris, but a rose hmmmm…. Of course! Romeo said something two years ago, that there were many roses at the back of the castle of Romeo, but that castle is already a ruin in the city and is also abundant, but anyway I'm going there tomorrow to get a rose for Romeo. I hope they might like the gifts .For the iris I'll offer is the symbol of the Capulets, and the rose is for the Montagues. I guess it's late now I should also go to sleep.
Benvolio went to bed, and slept beside Cordelia. Benvolio then enjoyed a quiet night with his wife and child in preparation for tomorrow's 2nd death anniversary of Romeo his old friend and Juliet, Cordelia's old friend.
