“Jason….” However, what awaited was not a heartbroken man running towards her to take her in his arms but a disdainful voice “Not dead yet?” “Why?” Mira raised her head painfully with every ounce of her strength. She wanted to know why but she couldn’t hear anything that the person in front of her was saying as she could hear another pain filled voice calling out to her…. asking her to wake up…. begging her not to leave him alone… promising her that he would always stay by her side. Mira wanted to look around her as she knew this sound…... she felt that a lifetime had passed since she heard this voice…. She wanted to leave this miserable place and rush towards the voice calling out to her. As Mira struggled to rush to the voice, she found her herself sitting up in bed, sweating all over…. Jack was sitting next to her trying to wake her up. Her eyes met his worried eyes and all the restlessness from her dreams magically settled down. That’s right… fate had given her another chance t
Hours earlier- The Sleghs decided to end the workday at 10 and start the feast for all workers. Office workers had a different area to farm hands and outdoor workers. The masters often mingled in both areas to improve their image among the workers. There was a reason to start the celebration early, the Sleghs were not a generous bunch. Old master’s shrewd mind was behind this. He had heard from Lotta that Jack and Mira came to the city together on Friday. He didn’t want to take a chance to create an opportunity for Jack to escape and deny his daughter her last chance. This early arrangement was on the off chance that Jack had arranged with Mira to come early. He had checked with Jack’s supervisor and was informed that Jack had only stayed for 10 or 15 minutes in the previous years. Jack packed up and went to toast his supervisor and request permission to leave. The three Slegh masters came up to the supervisor just as Jack finished toasting. “Won’t you toast a drink with us?” Cole
“I will ask you one last time, are you going to investigate what happened to my husband and restore his good name?” Mira tried to lift Jack from the ground as she stood up. “Get lost.” Old master yelled in rage. Caster was staring smitten at the beautiful lady in front. She suited his taste very much. His lips curled up as he thought of his next prey. He turned his head to nod at John and Oden who were standing stuck to the ground. John and Oden rushed to Mira side and carried Jack. “I will take two of your workers to help me carry my husband to my cart.” Mira curled her lips arrogantly “How much does the old master want to claim as compensation?” “Lady, I know you are upset.” Caster spoke with a gentle smile “But that is no reason to be rude. My workers are helping you. There is no payment for help.” “Dare to write that down and not penalize the unfortunate worker who helped later?” Mira was like a wounded tigress. Attacking anyone and everyone that came her way. She also had an
Mira sobbed as she kept whispering her fears as she kissed him for the last time as she steeled her mind; In desperation, Mira transported them into her space. She raised her head as she felt the grass. Her eyes filled with hope as she remembered the hot spring and the healers’ words…. “Warm him inside out…” She carried him with great difficulty stopping and falling all the way to the hot spring. She took the house key out of his pocket and gently immersed him in the hot spring before taking of her cloths and joining him. She hugged him tightly trying to warm him and also in an effort to keep his body up to his neck fully immersed in water with the exception of his head. Her eyes started to fill with hope as she saw his lips regaining color. She stayed with him till he regained consciousness. How long? She didn’t know. “Love?” Jack called weakly as her hot tears which never stopped kept wetting his face. “Husband….” Mira called out excitedly “Your awake.” She smiled through her tear
“Wife I am truly sorry… forgive me…. I can’t live without you…. I just wanted you to be happy. I don’t want you to suffer.” Jack hugged her tighter refusing to let go. He had wronged her…twice in one day…. “Happy?” Mira narrowed her eyes “Do you think I will be happy without you? Happy without you holding me close?” Her voice wavered. “I was wrong.” Jack stood up to kiss her tears away… he barely managed to stand firm for a second before loosing balance…Mira held on to him tightly. She kissed him and came out of space. “I will forgive you this last time.” Mira hmphed. She didn’t want to cause him more distress…. She was not really angry… she just wanted to teach him a lesson, not to have such thoughts. “I won’t dare…” Jack shook his head childishly as he hugged her refusing to let go. “Lie down now.” Mira led him to bed. She entered space from their bedroom close to their bed as she didn’t know what state Jack would be in when she had to bring him back. She took their blanket fro
Mira had lots to do. She closed the door, locked it and went to the room to check on Jack. He was truly exhausted… he was sleeping. She tucked him in with the blanket and entered space to start on his coat. She patterned the embroidery envisioning a two-piece coat set. The pattern she decided on was one that was not popular in her country. It was a picture she had seen in the house of the ambassador of far east island in her previous life. She loved the explanation the lady of the house gave her… this flower… known as cherry blossom symbolizes the everlasting friendship and love in a life that is fleeting. She tried to reconstruct the picture in her head as she started to work on the design. For the suit coat, the whole of the cloth was embroidered branches filled with cherry blossom flowers; On the left flap of the coat, slightly on the side of the chest she embroidered two love birds resting their heads together. The vest was embroidered with cherry blossom flowers connected by bran
“Come… join us for dinner although it is a humble soup today.” Mira invited with a big smile. “We just had dinner before leaving home.” Almera whispered giggling “Dowager Duchess came to visit and complain.” Mira nodded giggling. “How’s Jack?” Thomas asked as they sat down in the front room. “He’s better now.” Mira nodded. Matthew and Harry came out after they finished eating. Both their steps paused as they saw Thomas. “Baldwin?” They blurted out in stupor. “Huh?” Thomas raised his head to look at the two elders. He stood up in respect even though they were below his station as he understood them to be Mira’s parents. “That is my father.” Thomas pursed his lips “You know him?” “Of course…. Of course…” Harry laughed to hide his embarrassment while Matthew was a bit more reserved. “Otherwise, he would have had to drink the elixir of youth.” Harry chuckled before turning to Mira with raised eyebrows. “Godfather, let me introduce.” Mira smiled sweetly “This is my ….” “I know m
Next, they stopped at Aldrin’s shop. Mira needed a lot of materials. She got herself a few large rolls of silk threads of different colors, a few different shades of green, red, grey golden, silver, pink, 10 marks of yellow beads, 5 marks of two shades of orange 5 marks each of reflective metal bits that were line shaped in green, brown, red, different shades of blue, white, orange and yellow color and 10 marks of small white pearls. They were also smaller rolls of various colors. “Did we rob the treasury?” Aldrin looked in shock at the generous amount of things Mira took. Mira rolled her eyes. Almera and Thomas didn’t come, they were sitting in the carriage debating whether Almera should wear what Mira suggested. Thomas was brave to fight a losing battle… He still hung up his sword with dignity, not feeling embarrassed in the slightest at losing. “Seriously… do you know how much this is going to cost you?” Aldrin still couldn’t believe it. “Are you not going to tell me?” Mira aske
