Desire

Chapter 85

"He's just about fallen asleep" Aneysa sighs as she walks into hers and Neteyam's bedroom, after coming from checking on Aonung, who was asleep in the guest room.

"Honestly, it is a hurtful situation to be in. I can't imagine how he must be feeling" Neteyam replies.

"I just hope he continues to stay truthful. If not to anyone else, then to me at least" Aneysa comes to lay next to Neteyam.

He lifts up the blanket for her, letting her get in before pulling her closer in, letting her head rest on his arm.

"I feel like he should have told the truth when it was possible" Aneysa says, referring to Tonowari.

"Sometimes people don't tell the truth, in order to protect us from getting hurt. But they do not understand that without being hurt, we will not be able to grow up and learn" Neteyam replies.

Aneysa nods, as she's laying on her back, looking up at the ceiling, "he told my father everything."

"What? How could you possibly know? Unless it was written in his journal?" Neteyam asks.

"It was but, I knew before that" Aneysa confesses.

After the tragic death, of Aonung's father.

"Thyme, I don't know what I could possibly do" Tonowari says.

"He deserves to know the truth" Thyme replies.

"He is a child. I cannot possible tell him that. He would not understand the truth" Tonowari says.

"Not now. But once he is older. You must tell him, because if he were to find out on his own.. you'd break him To" Thyme replies.

"It is best if he does not know, is it not? It will save him from this misery. I just.. I don't know what to do" Tonowari says.

They were both discussing the matter, meanwhile, Aneysa was running around the house, looking for her father.

"He must be in an important meeting my love. I will play with you" Gorya says.

"But father promised me!" Aneysa pouts.

Gorya sighs, bending down in front of her pouty, five year old daughter.

"Let's make a deal. If you play with me, i promise that your father will have to stay the night. And then we can all have dinner together. How does that sound?" Gorya asks.

Aneysa's eyes lights up as she smiles and nods, "that's perfect mother! I want to hide!"

"Very well" Gorya laughs as she stood back up, "don't hide under the kitchen table. Otherwise I'll find you."

Gorya places her hands in front of her eyes.

Aneysa let's out a little giggle before she runs along the corridor, looking for a place to hide.

"Momma's wardrobe!" She whispers to herself as she continues to run.

She runs past her fathers office, hearing his voice.
It causes her to stop and turn around.

"You will break Aonung's heart To. I'm telling you, don't do this" she hears her father say.

"Who wants to break Nung's heart?" Aneysa questions in a whisper to herself, as she stood near his door, making sure she was not seen by her father.

"How could I possibly tell Aonung that I am not his father. That his mother died and his father is my brother! It is impossible to understand when he has come this far! He's been mourning a death of a woman who is not even his real mother" Tonowari says.
