"Child is that the things your hiding from me?" Madell said
Dexter couldn't see Madell and Madell herself doesn't have any thought of looking at the child for now, as it seems inappropriate by the mood of the conversation they are having
Hearing Madell dexter showed a weak smile and said
"Yeah, I also feel scared of the humakey's but remembering that you care for me put me on ease"
"Is that so, making children feel secured its what mothers do right?"
"I don't know, I never tried thinking of myself as one" Dexter replied feeling tightness in his chest the more he opened his mouth
"Hehe, your still a child after all"
"Am I?, well I guess I'm still an immature child" Dexter then said as he looked at the white blanket that covered his injured body
"Ma'am Madell, did you know that I don't want to die?, even thought my life doesn't have that much...meaning to it, I still want to live"
"Then live, child it's like your asking a humakey to leave the village, a pointless question....a question a child like you would ask"
Madell said as she put a necklace on the table near the child's bed
"...I really am a child" dexter said as he stared on the small hand reaching the table
"Ma'am Madell"
"Yes, Mandell"
"Aren't you angry?" Dexter asked which was responded by Madell
Madell laught on what Mandell asked her, she then said in a joking tone
"When have you ever seen my angry?"
"...I guess adults don't get angry huh?" dexter said
"We feel emotion too, we just hide it, you see as an adult you wouldn't have someone to open up to like a parent so we just need to suck it all up"
"Is that what all adults do?" Dexter ask which Madell immediately responded
"Not really, there's something called friendship after all"
"Ma'am Madell, I'm actually scared of you like super scared of you"
"Does that mean I look scary?" Madell asked
"hehehe, Nope I'm just a child who's scared of something he don't understand"
"I see, it's good that I don't look scary to Mandell, but are you still frightened by me?"
"Nope!, I saw you as a saint of some sort" Dexter said which Madell responded
"You don't see me as a mother?"
"...." Dexter couldn't respond to what Madell had just said, he already has parents even thought they're image isn't clear in the young lads memory
'It just doesn't feel right' He pondered
"I'll make you look at me as a mother someday" Madell said
"Thank you for opening up to me Mandell, it means a lot to me having your full trust"
"I also felt relieved letting it all go" Dexter said showing a frightened smile
"Nearly forgot, child you said you wanted to get stronger right?"
"Yes?"
"Yes!, I wanted to learn Ma'am Madell" Dexter said excitedly
"Then you better recovery quickly"
"Ma'am, can I also learn about herbs?"
"Quite greedy aren't we?, don't worry I'm sure my students would teach it to you, your one of them after all"
Without even seeing each other the two had a long conversation with every words full of sincerity that's saying
'I wanted you to trust me'
Their conversation ended and dexter took a breath of relief but before Madell could leave to be precise before dexter could see the door closed he shouted
"Ma'am Madell!"
"You see I just copied the humakey earlier and I wanted to say it sincerely this time"
Hearing him Madell couldn't help but find it a little adorable
"How childish, then Mandell say what you want to say, I won't leave without hearing it"
"Welcome back Ma'am Madell"
"Its good to be back"
....
Creak
Shut
The door was closed and in my silence accompanied Dexter's thumping heart and reddish face
Releasing almost all the secret that he wanted Madell to hear made the young lad felt satisfaction
And the heavy burden and guilt that he was using Madell's affection and only thinking of his survival and not the feelings of the people around him
Releasing all of it so that it wouldn't crush him any second...
Dexter is still suffocated but at least it becomes lighter
"When did I become so cheeky?" he murmured under the blanket
...
Hiding in the sewer is a place where hannah flower is unable to bloom
No trash was swept at that place and no other things is visible beside the giant boulder with a emerald gem embedded to its center
Inside that very room is a hairless humakey, its fur was stuck everywhere..the walls the floor and even the boulder blocking the whole room
The humakey's skin has turned violet and tears could be seen fleeing the humakey's eyes
The lifeless humakey was in the corner of the room without any sign of movement
The emotionless body stayed still without making a single noice
That's what it always been
The heavy boulder was slowly moved to the side letting a little to no sunlight enter the dark cold room
The lifeless corpse on the corner slowly looked at the figure who opened the door
"w....h..o" The corpse whispered
"..." The humakey didn't replied and without looking at the corpse he placed a single pill near the corner
The humakey immediately looked back and closed the boulder
The lifeless corpse tried to say something to the humakey but his mouth that doesn't recieved water for two weeks doesn't have enough energy to do what he wanted
The boulder closed and all his hope of escaping was lost
All he could do is wait for something to happen that's what he thought
The pill that the mysterious humakey placed glowed bright red,
Feeling attracted to it he immediately grabbed it and put it on his parched mouth
As it entered his body, he felt pain similar to being wrapped on thorns
He didn't struggle nor try to change his fate but a thought remained in his head the moment he entered this place and now in his death bed
'Sorry for making the human escape.dad ...I just wanted your lov...
