Chapter 22 - His first love 2

Andrew was sitting under the tree, his head bowed down into his hug, the sound of his sobs could be heard.

He was crying, alone in the forest.

The girl was singing to herself, she walked over fallen pine-

needles and into the forest glade on the spur of the hill.

She heard sound of sobbing, crying and sound of rock, as if someone threw a rock in frustration and that rock hit the bark of the tree and then fell down on the ground.

For sometime, that girl stood in the shadows between the trees, went unnoticed; from Andrew.

She watched the for sometime, sit all alone in the forest crying,

Carefully, placing her foot on the ground, she approached him.

"Why are you crying, kiddo?"

Came the girl's voice.

She lowered her umbrella over him, to shelter him from the sunlight.

Andrew felt a shadow move over him and a girl's voice, which was new to him, as no one ever came to talk to him.

He lifted up his gaze and saw a girl wearing everything red.

That girl was dressed in bright red clothes, a hat over her head to keep the sunlight away from touching her fair skin. She looked like someone from the noble familes. Her bright red cloth was decorated with Jewels and diamonds.

She had a dark red umbrella, a frilly thing for girls and specially noblewomen which she was holding over him, to shelter him from the sunlight.

Andrew had seen umbrellas before, and his father also had one big black umbrella

which had holes in it, because field-rats had eaten some sides of the umbrella, so no one wanted to use it anymore. This was

the first time Andrew had seen such a small, dainty, dark red umbrella; that umbrella had such unusual colour.

The umbrella was like a flower, a great red flower that had sprung up

on the greeny colourfull hillside.

He admired her clothes and she got his curiosity, she had a unfamiliar

accent, which he found interesting, that accent was kinda cute.

And then his gaze

came on the soft thing she was holding, it was a rabbit, a white rabbit with red eyes, a collar on her neck, that collar had a big purple gem stone on it, because of it that rabbit always looked noble.

'what a wastage of money'

Andrew thought to himself.

They stared at each other for few seconds.

Surprised with this new environment he jumped out of the shadow of the umbrella and into the sunlight, the bright sunlight blinded him.

"So, why was you crying?"

The girl asked him once again, lifting up her one eyebrow in question to his rude behaviour.

First, it was hard to keep his focus, because of the sudden sunlight which landed on his wet eyes, but soon his eyes caught focus and he saw her.

'Magnificent'

He mumbled to himself, unable to help his eyes from staring way too much.

That girl had black straight hair, her eyes black and giltering just like the space which had stars in it, she had full lips.

"Nothing"

came his slow reply, he shifted his gaze away from her, but he cannot help but sometime peek a little from the corner of his eyes on the rabbit, she was holding in her arms.

Noticing him steal glaces at her rabbit, she spoke.

"Wanna hold him!?"

Her voice in full of glee and cheerfulness.

"Oh, can I?"

"Yes, you can, but be gentle, she is very aggressive"

While carefully giving him the rabbit in his arms, she said.

"Be careful" she added.

"Wow, she is soft and so small!!"

While holding the rabbit in embrace, he said.

His voice full of excitement.

"Yes, she is"

The girl spoke, nodding in agreement.

"Wanna know her name?" She asked him tilting her head to the side.

"Yes, I want to!!"

In his joy, he almost jumped on his toes.

"Sparkling"

"Wow, so cute!!!"

He patted the rabbit's head and rubbed it with a lot of cuteness.

In irrigation, that rabbit jumped out of him embrace and into that girl's

"You like the name?"

She still asked, even when the rabbit was not in his embrace.

"The name is so pretty, just like this rabbit"

He adored the rabbit from a far.

He leaned over to the rabbit, so he can adore that rabbit more nicely, but that rabbit kicked him in his face with her small paws.

"Oh my gosh, I am sorry"

She brought her fingers closed to his nose and rubbed it gently, she asked.

"Are you okay?"

He backed away a little, but then he laughed making that girl also laugh with him.

They both joked and played.
