Fifth chapter
Calista and Jessa finally came to Havis City. Jessa lives in a medium size apartment with two rooms. The other room is supposed to be for her husband, however she doesn't have one since no one wants her for not being able to bear a child.
Calista (FL)
*Woke up and realized the room is not hers
Calista (FL)
*Runs downstairs and saw Auntie Jessa in the kitchen
Calista (FL)
"Auntie Jessa!"
Calista (FL)
*Breathing deeply "Will dad be joining us here today?"
Jessa
*Swallows "No... not yet, that's too fast."
Calista (FL)
*Looks down "Then, it is really on my 10th birthday? Since yesterday is my birthday and we set apart right? Then my next birthday, we will be together again?"
Jessa
*Tried to focus on her cooking
Calista (FL)
*Smiles sweetly
Calista (FL)
"I'm so sorry for being emotional last night, Auntie Jessa. It's just that I'm not used to being away from dad. He's the only family left for me."
Calista (FL)
*Sat on the chair while playing with her hands above the table
Jessa
*Secretly looks at Calista
Jessa
"Yeah, I understand that. But... I can also be your family, Calista."
Calista (FL)
*Looks at Auntie Jessa
Calista (FL)
"Mm!" *Nods while smiling happily
Jessa
*She's so understanding and hopeful
The food is ready and Jessa prepared for Calista
Jessa
"By the way darling, here's a letter from your father."
Calista (FL)
*Eyes lightens up as she saw an envelope from Auntie Jessa's hand
Calista (FL)
*Put aside the spoon and opened the envelope to see a handwritten letter of her father
"Hello sweetie, I hope you had a great dream. Please don't accuse your Auntie Jessa for taking you away from me. I'm too busy here to take care of you. You're always waiting for me at night that makes me guilty. Also, your Auntie's place has more kids to play with at school. You won't be homeschooled anymore, isn't that what you want? Haha. I love you so much sweetie, always take care and be a fine grown up lady without me. I'm sure you can do that, you can be like that. Always listen to Auntie Jessa and be a good girl like you always did. My sweetie is an obedient, patient, and kind girl, right? Auntie will change your hair color like mine. And... please, sweetie Calista, never ever give your wish to a full moon.
I'll try and try to meet you soon, sweetie. I love you.
