Katherine dropped Kendra and Kissed her goodluck. As she got farther away from the school, her eyes reddened and started to get wet , she had to park the Car in the park since she couldn't see and as soon as she switched off her car, she broke down in tears . Every drop of tears symbolises her Pain, agony, suffering, confusion, frustration,self loath, and hate for life.
She was only twenty three but it feels like she has lived for a thousand years. As she was crying, she looked at the window and saw a family of five playing in the park. They had two girls and a boy and looked so happy. It broke her heart the more as she wondered why her life wasn't normal.
KNOCK!,KNOCK!,KNOCK!.
Katherine stared at the young boy in front of her window and felt her heart skip a beat. His slightly red hair reminded her of Kenneth. She quickly cleaned her face before rolling down the window.
"Miss, could you help me bring down my cat from the tree?"
"Where?"
The boy pointed to a tree not far from where Katherine's car was parked.
"And why do you think I'll help you?"
The boy looked lost and his expression was particularly cute. He looked at Katherine car and then her face.
"I think you have a really nice car,two, because you are beautiful and three we have the same colour of hair" He said looking straight into Katherine's eyes confidently.
Katherine felt the boy was particularly bold and decided to help.
"Okay, I'll help you"
She came out of the car and was a little suprised at the clothes of the boy. He was dressed in rags and was holding a broken and dirty plate which was taped with sellotape with some money inside it
"Miss, come on" The boy said and dragged Katherine to the tree.
"I would have carried him down but the tree was to tall"
Katherine looked at the tree and felt it was high for a boy his age. Katherine climbed uo the tree and brought down the cat for him.
"Where are your parents?" She asked as she handed over the cat to him.
"They died trying to save me" He said and shrugged.
Katherine looked confused
( Why though?)
"Saving you?"
"Yes, I had an infection which affected both my heart and kidney, my parents volunteered since there was no donor." He paused and looked at hus car lovingly and stroked it.
"My mum gave her heart and my dad his Kidney"
"But your dad should have been alive, except..."
"Only one kidney was what he had , he donated the other one to my mum when she had the infection, I think it's hereditary "
The boy looked at the shy and blinked back his tears.
"How do you know?"
"Part of it, I was aware, part, I wasn't, I was told by my aunt before she chased me out"
Katherine looked at him with a look like "how would you know anything?"
"Hey, don't think I'm little, I'm actually fifteen years"
Katherine looked at him from head to toe with a raised brow.
"I'm malnourished"
Katherine stared at him for a while and asked for his name.
"Aristotle"
"What the heck!?" She exclaimed out loud
"My aunt said they loved the great philosopher Aristotle and knew I would be great so they named me after him"
"Okay, Aris, that's what I'll call you, see we have the came fate so would you like to come under my wings?"
"Sure,if there is food"
"Of course, there is"
----------------------
Katherine got home and got Aristotle settled and entered her lab to check the progress but ie wasn't ready yet.
"Kal,can't we speed it up to this night at 12am?"
"Yes,but there might be malfunctions which might be minor or major. Minor like forgetting some memories and Major like not knowing who either You nor kendra is"
Katherine frowned at the report but Kal added " This major malfunctions will show in a year or two if we are lucky three years. Also if it has minor malfunctions then there won't be any major malfunctions.
Katherine frowned thinking deep before sighing and saying
"Okay, speed it up, there won't be any problems and if there is, the minor malfunctions isn't an issue while the major one... isn't an issue either because a year or two is enough for Kendra to regain her memories"
