“Angell!” Amira shouted.
“What?” The girl said from the head of stairs.
“At the phone. Marvell.”
“Why he called on the fixed telephone?”
“Maybe because you have your cell phone closed.”
“Yeah, you’re right.”
Amira rolled her eyes, and the girl came into the living room without any sign of enjoying, taking the receiver from her mother, which went directly to the kitchen.
“Hello?”
“Hey baby, how have you been? Why you have your cell phone closed?”
“Maybe it’s uncharged.” Angell lied without regretting.
“OK. May I talk to you?”
“Ok, say it.”
“Not at the phone love. Please come at the Pound, in half an hour, I will be there.”
“Good.”
“Ok love, see you there. Bye.”
And Angell putted back the receiver, without a grudge. She was starting to feel Marvell like a burden on which she had to get rid of.
A day passed and Lovin didn’t come back home, and Amira was already worried, calling him nonstop.
“He doesn’t answer at all at his phone. What if something happen to him?”
“Mother, you are making too many worries. I don’t think so, maybe he is too busy.
Amira nod her head, even if Angell could swear that she grabbed again the phone trying to reach Lovin and the girl feared that the cursed caught him up, and now Lovin forgot everything, not knowing even his name.
“Be aware Angell, of the wind.” Amira said from the kitchen, and Angell got out in the night, heading to the garage.
And indeed, Amira was right. The wind was blowing strongly; snatching even the last autumn leafs from the forest, making her hair flying in every direction possible. The girl hurried up to the garage, wanting to drive until the Pound, not wanting to walk until there on feet on a wheatear like that, especially that the rain started to come with small and soft drops. The girl started the car, and drove to the Pound direction where Marvell was waiting for her to come. She was making a lot of plans, how she will tell the boy that their relationship is over and doesn’t have a future, and together they have to agree on taking a long break, and after that to remain simple friends. She was aware that the plan wasn’t easy to apply.
She let herself gone with the thought at Kristall, which was in fact her wish, from the pact with the blue flower and she cannot just give up on it.
Arrived at the small park from the Pound, where the mud pound was full of frogs and water lilies, she woke up with Marvell at her door, opening it, making way for Angell to get off, and the girl putted her hood on her head, fearing the wind outside which didn’t’ stopped. He hugged her with love and warm, and then he kissed her. Angell did all this mechanically, like it was something usual to do that.
“Love. I’ve missed you so much.” He said, having in his blue eyes hopes and sparkles. Instead Angell watched him superior and cold.
“Me too.” She said short, of course lying.
“I know it’s too sudden, but I am listening to my hear. I love you Angell Valentine Veriss, and I want to spend the rest of my life with you, so…”
He, for the girl’s surprised, kneel and took off a beautiful diamond ring from his pocket.
“Do you want to be my wife?”
Angell didn’t realize what was going on. She really didn’t understand why Marvell was seating in the knee, emotional, in a muddy park on a wheatear like that.
She not even was feeling something for him, not sympathy rather disgusting. Since the wish came true, in her soul something flaming came alive, like an alive fire, which was burning everything good from her way, especially her personality, once likable and rebel, beautiful, becoming cold, conservative and rough, especially that the needle of love changed its direction from Marvell to Kristall.
But Marvell was waiting her answer excited, seating in his knee, with the ring raised for her to take it.
“No.” She said suddenly.
“W… what?”
“You heard me. No! I am too young to get married, beside you no longer mean something for me. I really don’t understand what I saw on you, a good for nothing looser.”
She said all this without thinking, like she was hypnotized. Marvell passed from shocked the horror, slowly getting up and scared, watching her distrustful.
“Angell. What is with you?”
“Really nothing. I am cold and a little hungry, so I will go back home.”
And the girl suddenly turned to the car.
“Angell! You cannot do this to me! I love you! What’s wrong with you?!”
“Do you really want to know?” Angell said, turning slowly to him, and Marvell shocked when he saw the girl’s face, on which was an evil smile, almost demonic.
“I do not want to know nothing. Tomorrow I will return on the continent Angell. You will never see me again.”
“Ah, such a relief! I’m so glad that I got rid of you.” She said, making the boy slowly walks backwards, while he was watching hurt the silver car how was leaving. He watched the ring, and with all his force throws it in the muddy pound.
In the car, Angell was laughing like a crazy person. That situation was for her so funny.
“He is such an asshole! Really, I cannot believe it!” She said maliciously, and felt her eyes getting wet, and from them tears came out. The girl was surprised to discover them.
“Why am I crying?”
She stopped the car in the front of the fence, and started to cry for good, putting her head on the wheel.
“Marvell. What have I done?” She said. She didn’t understand exactly what happened. A part of her wanted to became Marvell’s wife, loving him. But another one hated him so much.
