My aunt invited Elsword into the tiny house. The door creaked as usual as we entered as sudden embarrassment came rushing back to my mind as I thought of the fact that Elsword is a rich villager and to show this beat down house was kind of embarrassing.
"It's nothing much, but you're welcome to stay the night and we can all leave for memorial tomorrow morning."
"That's fine, thank you for inviting me."
My aunt gave him a warm smile and walked towards the bathroom to the laundry.
I offered if he wants to drink anything but he said it's fine.
"I'm going to go make your bed, so you can wait right here."
"Alright, thanks."
I went upstairs and went inside the guest room. A tiny room with a one cozy bed and a window. We don't really use this room since we don't have any guests. But my aunt, who likes sleeping in the couch, takes naps here sometimes. I lit the candle and opened the window slightly for tiny breeze. I made sure that the blanket and pillow was nicely organized and was ready to go back to the living room. I opened the door and from the view from up here, I could see the living room. I was surprised to see Elsword and my aunt talking. Except they weren't really talking, they were whispering. I tip toed down there to see if I can eavesdrop anything, but I couldn't hear anything at all. Even though I was curious, I quickly gave up on the thought, since it's a conversation I'm not suppose to hear anyway.
"Let's go!"
I never had another person tag along to the memorial, excluding my aunt. There was hint of sparkle in my aunt's eyes as well.
While we walked down to the village, there was actually a lot of conversations, surprisingly. One of the conversation that I remember the most might be when my aunt asked Elsword, "Elsword, how was your father like?"
It was unexpected question from my aunt, but Elsword answered it without any hesitation.
"He was brave, strong, intelligent.. he was just a great leader overall."
I saw a hint of sadness reflecting on my aunt's eye but I quickly brushed the confusement away.
Soon enough, we reached the Velder Village; the place was packed with people already in memories of the deceased knights and citizens during the bloody night.
"Looks like we're here."
Elsword said, and lead us inside the village.
Even though I come here often with my aunt to sell herbs, the sight of the village always amuses me.
The smell of fresh fruits, mixed with flowers and a little bit of wine from the drinkers always gives me a new sensation and a tingling feels to the edge of my fingers.
Soon we reached the Memorial Statue of the Velder War.
"I'll meet you back here after I put my own flower to my dad's name."
"Okay."
Elsword said and he quickly went to go find his dad's name imprinted into the stone. My aunt held my hand tightly and walked to the stone where my parents' name has been imprinted up to this sixteen years.
My aunt gave me two daffodil flowers, and kept two for her own. I placed them neatly into my dad's name, and my mom's name. I stared at them for a long time, and so did my aunt. We prayed like we did every year, hoping that they're reborn and living a better life, just like the meaning behind daffodil.
"Aisha, I'm gonna stay in here for a little bit more. Go meet up with Elsword first."
"Oh, okay. Meet me here."
My aunt nodded and she continued to stare at my parents' name.
I walked to the place where I was suppose to meet Elsword, and as expected, he was standing there.
But there was weird feeling around him. I looked around, and there was few grown men and women giving Elsword looks. Glares, to be exact.
"You're done?"
By the time I realized it, Elsword walked up to me and greeted me. I looked around once more quickly and people stopped giving him looks.
I quickly brushed the uneasy feelings away and nodded at him with a smile.
"My aunt's staying there for few more minutes."
"There she comes now."
It was unexpecting for my aunt to take only few minutes. She could've of stayed for a little bit longer. For few hours, we decided to walk around the village. My aunt needed to buy few items anyway. By the time she was done shopping, it was a little bit before sunset.
"Alright Aisha, time to go home now."
She said. I looked back at Elsword and he was giving me such warm smile.
"I guess this is it, it was nice meeting you, Aisha."
But I didn't want to leave. Can't Elsword come along? I wanted to brag like a little child.
It's only been a full day that I met him, but he was a first friend I ever had.
I felt my eyes begin to develop tears and I was embarrassed by the fact that I was behaving like a little kid and that I was showing the weak side of me in front of Elsword.
It seemed like Elsword noticed it, because he tilted his head to check on my face, which was faced downward so he couldn't see my crying face.
"Aisha, are you cry-"
"Aisha, if you want to play with Elsword a little bit more, I'll let you do that."
My aunt interrupted Elsword's expected question.
I looked up at my aunt with surprise filled in my eyes.
She stared at me for awhile and moved her gaze to Elsword and gave him a warm smile.
"Would you take care of my niece for few more days? It seems like she really likes you."
I looked up at Elsword with a big smile. I was also actually really surprised that my aunt would allow me to do such a looked surprise as well. Then he looked at me a smile and said,
"Of course. You've done so much for me."
"Alright Aisha. Come back after two days."
"Two days?!"
I questioned her with my jaws almost dropping to the floor.
"I trust you and Elsword, have fun, darling."
She said with a smile, and waved at us as she walked toward the gate that leads to the mountain.
I glanced at Elsword and I could tell he was trying to hide a huge smile. His ears were red and he was looking the other way to avoid my gaze. I laughed at his action, and he couldn't hold it anymore so he bursted out laughing with me.
