Chapter - 1

For what I am to write in this paper, this ink, and this sheet can never resemble what a woman she was, what she held within her life, and what her words and her means mattered to me, the words of mine will fail miserably to express my sheer respect and her lavished kindness to you, but in this entire world, you are the only one that may assert her kindness, her behaviour, and her afflictions as well, Mr. Garret.

Soon my unbearable suffering came to a close though it was only a physical pain but oh my…. I was devastated by what I had lost on that shiny night. For a few days, I remained peaceably in these walls of hers, I was welcomed with vexed and dismayed thoughts when I woke up and I only found a nice bed beneath myself and a nice view out from the window, though my confusion was to repel as I heard the footsteps and then she appeared.

“Oh Thank God, you are awake, sit down,” said she. I sat down, as meekly as I could.

“I am sure that you are in doubt and I will not blame you if you have such ideas in regard of me or my pertinacity but I assure you I have no vile intention to do any harm,”

I looked at her with doubtful eyes as my doctrine thoughts had not allowed me to have my faith in her, yet Was I supposed to do anything in this manner?

“I am very sorry to bother you with this doleful news but I am afraid it is very important to have you know about this,”

I held my patience quite firmly and waited for the saddest words that could fly from her mouth and for me to reply.

“I failed to save your little baby, I am very sorry,”

I am very sorry to announce that my sadness was only transient regarding my unborn baby. I may assert myself as a heartless person but I assure you sir that I do not resemble that.

“What has become of my Jenny?” I asked.

“May I ask who you are talking about?”

I felt no prudent to speak anymore but the thoughts of mine writhed with vexed and my unruly behaviour represented itself, this most astonishing clamorous rage of mine even I was not accustomed to.

“I want my Jenny!” Poor Lady, she was asked to handle the utmost quarry of such shamefacedness, I expected her to be in a state of panic as I was letting other substances fly whatever I could find, I know sir, I deserved a nice beating yet she was so pertinacious to her morals and she stayed persistent in against any kind of violence. She held my head firmly and leered into my eyes as if she had ascertained herself inside me. As meekly as I could I looked into her eyes and with fiendish sorrow my eyes were enlightened with the rush of tears.

“Cry more dear,” I let out my loudest cries, as the sense of my duties urged within me I took a part from her grasp.

“Now lady, I do not have any kind of knowledge about Jenny, perhaps you should have a conversation with Lily,” She rose and sought Lily and soon we were poured with her appearance, perhaps she was the exact woman that had rescued us from such maledictions and such opprobrious claims of that man when we first entered this town.

“What is the matter ma’am?”

“Oh I need your acquaintance here, This lady asks about a missing person called Jenny, do you happen to know about this matter?”

“Oh yes, he is her brother,” As she spoke those words I rose with great execrations and my voice happened to be exalting.

“Thank God, please do you happen to know what has happened to my Jenny?” I cried as to chide her sympathy and to enforce her to speak yet her lips were sealed and her eyes were stealing the glimpse of The Lady as she encouraged herself to let free Lily.

“Dear, you are in loss of so much blood, I must suggest you take a rest, and you must not worry about Jenny, we will contort the whole Street to find him.”

Thus was I deserted alone with the aroma of such punity that only the Devil could rest in this manner with high glee. I stayed still, repining again and again, I knew if I would dismiss those thoughts of calamity then I would have found myself in a better position yet was I fret highly for Jenny’s sake, and that I may have lost him for once and all. I was lost in my dreams while waiting impatiently for their appearance and when I woke up The Lady was taking the seat. I sat down, aloof.

“How are you feeling?”

“Weak, do you have any news for my sake?”

You might be reading a pirated copy. Look for the official release to support the author.

She fell silent, after that she commenced to observe the flowers and listened to a disquisition of an old hag outside to oppose the government.

“These men will talk in the presence of freedom yet these same men will do harmful acts to take down this country as well, don’t you think?”

“I do not waste my utmost care for this country now if you may then I shall like news about Jenny,”

“Ah, Coppers have attempted to find him and have got themselves a clue,” though the evidence of such glee should have been evident on her face instead her tone had the glimpse of contemptuous.

“This is only a hoax, is that correct?”

She fell silent once again, thus the hopes had dismissed me, I did not contrive to force my abundance of sadness onto her yet I could see her face smeared with her tears. I was devastated to the core of my bones.

“You shall not worry, he is tucked well in heaven and will be watching you enjoying the rest of your life in such an attitude that will satisfy him for sure,”

These words were not enough to draggle my sadness, not setting the ruinous state of my heart, I looked to her as the tears were in my eyes, she left me, however with wishes of vigour and spared me the arduous speech. I was well aware sir that no matter what I had to labour and fulfill the satisfied needs to recover from this tragedy yet was I so troubled to enumerate any such feelings of mine, while I had no intention to end my sorrowful life as I was the one that had ruined Jenny’s life by my disturbing actions, ending my life may have provided a worsened feeling that I had wasted the young life of my brother. For a few days, I was told to stay tucked in the same room and no one dared to disturb me in my grieve bearing a maid that asserted my needs for food otherwise I was quite deserted of the scorned authority of any humans, and if I am to speak the truth I would have abhorred any human being at the time.

I woke up one morning with so little exhilaration yet it was quite enough for me to deliver my regards to her as I contrived to leave the quarter behind and descended the stairs, I caught the hem of such gorgeousness of such greenery that I was so querulous upon myself for I had spent so many days in a doleful manner. The smell was the concise reply to me when I walked nearer and found two women situated with fish being served against their eyes. One of the women was Her. She ceased her movement that she was so bound to cut the fish into delicate pieces. The response was quickly written as she had delighted herself when I had appeared downstairs for the first time.

“How are you feeling dear?”

“I seem to be fine now,”

“Better than that, should you join us for breakfast?”

I was vastly pleased with her request for my acquisition at the breakfast table and so I showed my content with it and settled down. She served me the meal and for a few moments I was enlightened in the enjoyment of liberty and her company, perhaps the other woman was quite silent.

“Listen, Evelyn, I am very sorry for what happened to your brother, I believe that you should know we had tried with our utmost best to find him yet we nor the Coppers came to no avail in this matter,”

“I hold no opprobrious for you I have come downstairs to have my thanks to you for saving me otherwise I am to deject the thoughts of falling prey to any maledictions if you had not appeared at the said night,”

“Oh,” she exclaimed, “Do not worry about that, let us now have some time to finish breakfast,”

I relished the food quality this dissuaded me from speaking any words in between, though when we had finished our breakfast she gave me a nice tour of her place, The garden was deemed in such beautiful and I exultingly placed my hand on some flowers and leered at the broods nestling near a tree but soon I was interposed as she encouraged me to keep walking with her and I did so follow her and found enormous land filled with the jest of a lot of kids, laughing at their faults, some woman was taking joy at their priceless acts as well. The lady looked at me as I found the place so attractive as it was free from any impunity and any act of abhorrence.

“What is this place?” asked I.

“This is my act of kindness to whom that needs it,”

“This must be your heaven?” I said while my eyes were delighted to see such a remarkable place of kindness in this country.

“I suppose I like it in that manner, now Dear I must ask you something,”

My attentive eyes were stolen by the chuckles of those kids as they ran round the park, one girl had caught the sight of mine, she was so accustomed by one of the birds that had taken possession of a tree, though my leer was soon to be interposed by The Lady when she proposed her question.

“Now dear, we do not ask for any penny for our help instead we ask for the person to stay here and help us in any manner, we have no right to force you, if you wish to take a leave then you should but if you have any urge to stay then I must ask you to assist us,”

“Assist in what manner?”

“To help other human beings and so to make these kids get rid of any kind of supercilious thoughts and make them a decent human for a betterment of our little world,”

I put up my yes to her agreement and she was so lavished in my response, make them a decent person, that is what I had wished for Jenny but now he was far away but at that moment I had realised that I was delivered another chance to fulfill my wishes. The matter was not much to ponder anymore, she looked at me and smiled.

“I hope you will have a wonderful time ahead here,” and I shook hands with her. We resumed our tour though she interposed it once again to speak.

“I must have a word with you in this matter that has been deemed so trouble for me, I try to help the helpless human yet I failed to rescue your Jenny and for that, I am very deeply disheartened and I need to ask forgiveness,”

“Do not, it is wrong to repine, perhaps his demise is not your fault anyway.”

“It is still a very unwelcome thought, very much saddened, but we must keep moving on, that is what we people always require in times of enormous loss,”

The thoughts of Jenny had entered my mind when she spoke of him, his little acts of innocence that was once very much annoyance for me now I wished to have a sight of that once again, I was well harassed by his disappearance, disappointed as I had been, I managed to hold my tears as we continued our tour, soon enough I got acquainted to ask a question.

“Miss, May I ask a question?” asked I.

“Oh sure,” said she.

“I am yet to be accustomed to your name,”

“Oh Please have my regards for ignoring the preamble, I am gladly known to be Ivy Garret.”
