"It's beautiful."
"Hmm. Yes, it is."
"But this place is meaningless with a guy like you!"
Anna answered him truthfully as she glared at Chris with her cold eyes. The fight they just had was enough for her to be cold to him again. He brought her here but not as a normal person but a special treatment. She likes to visit gardens where people are walking around. Couples sit together and children play. A happy and peaceful environment. A family one!
She wanted to experience it but seems that it will be wishing for some other time.
Anna this time missed her brother and Alex. Only if they were here and she could have roamed around this place freely with them. But then her wish was broken with Chris's sarcastic voice.
"But you are at least with me. It's your wish that you want to appreciate it or not. I just brought you here the way you wanted." Chris simply answered and Anna as usual ignored his words.
'Send Alex here and I will enjoy it with him. Just you need to go away.' This thought was there in her mind and heart but she kept it to herself.
Instead of wasting her precious time talking with him, Anna started to walk around. She took many photographs with her phone and also, saw many gorgeous flowers for the very first time.
"Now I know why the South of Zuak land is famous for its flowers," Anna whispered as the smile was there on her face. Chris was no longer following her as he had calls to attend. She just walked around her own, in her comfort zone and it gave her satisfaction.
But one thing that caught Anna's attention was one plant that had flowers but of different colors. Many were white and some were red too. On top of that, it had mixed flowers also. Anna went near it and for good fee minutes just stared at the flowers. She remembered a certain person saying that this type of flower is rare to find. It indicated your love for someone as that person was none other than her first love.
"Miss, this flower is unique. It grows only in the autumn season and it looks you are lucky to come here at this moment." Anna suddenly heard a voice behind her and saw a gardener. It looked like he was the caretaker of such a big place.
"What does this flower signifies?" Anna curiously asked him.
"Many of the old people say that in past, thus flower was used by kings and queens to representing their love for each other. No one knows the reality but it is always said that if you give this flower to your loved ones, it means your bond will stay strong for a lifetime." This infuriated Anna's excitement for this flower. This might not be the truth but Anna likes and feels that it might be the reality. Who knows people seriously used to use this flower to prove their love?
"But it has many thorns. It is usually said that love is not a smooth path. Nowadays youngsters are not like old times. Kings used to get this flower despite it has so many thorns. They might even get blood on their fingers but in the end, what mattered was presenting the flower to their loved one!" The gardener explained to her but Anna's gaze was solely fixed on the flower itself.
A flower that symbolizes a lifelong journey. Interesting right?
"May I help you with something else? Are you interested in any flower or knowing about them?" Gardener politely asked.
Anna shook her head and then said, "You must be having work. You carry on your gardening. I will take a look at others myself." The gardener bowed to her and in response, she did the same. Leaving her alone, Anna stood alone in front of the red white flower in front of her.
'What about giving this flower to him?' Anna thought and slowly, she brought her shivering hands near the flower.
The thorns were visible from outside and it brought a little nervousness in her. But after taking a breath she decided to go for it. "Anna, you can do it, for your love!" She made up her mind.
Finally, she plucked two flowers but the pain that came along with it made Anna frown hard. She closed her eyes as the thorns went in her fingers. At starting, it was bearable but after few seconds, Anna understood why ut was difficult. Just like the flower, these thorns were also special. They prick you hard!
Anna looked at the flower in her hand, it looked so beautiful that she might die for this flower! But then she saw blood also coming out of her other hand. Thorns went deep, although they were visible from outside.
"Zzz… it's hurting!" But Anna did not know what to do at this point. Telling Chris us really bad idea because he will then take away the flower also.
At first, Anna, slipped the flower into her back pocket, keeping it safe and protected from others' eyes.
But in just a few fractions of seconds, someone came and took her hand into his and looked at her bleeding fingers because of thorns. Anna looked at this person and her heart warmed up seeing none other than Alex.
'He finally came here. At least, he did not leave me alone.' Thinking like this, Anna smiled deeply.
His coming here will surely displease Chris, but she least care. What matters the most for her is, he came even after taking so many risks, and att he ends, he did not disappoint her anymore!
This brought a small smile to her face!
The same can't be said for Alex as his eyes were furrowed as he looked at the thorns and blood coming out of her hand. His face showed tension and stress.
"Anna! Can't you just keep yourself safe? Are you a six-year-old child? Even Scott doesn't try to go near thorn flowers!"
