Chapter 10- Remedy For A Broken Heart

  Walking into the garment sector, the smell of fabric filled the air along with the stitching sounds from tailors' machines.

  The sector had many shops, there were fine clothes hanging around everywhere .

  Women of high class were all over the place buying clothes and dresses, there were clothes for all sorts of occasions, the entire sector seemed very calm and peaceful.

  Sewo was looking for a garment factory where the products he has cancelled be recycled and made into fine leather.

  These factories were located in the rear of the sector. Sewo strolled through the market, looking at clothes and about an hour later he finally reached the end of the sector where there were 5 factories total.

  Sewo headed to the factory he had taken note of on his priority visit. It was the La Viel company's factory.

  The place was a top dog in the industry and was known for it's top notch garment quality .

  Sewo knew that with the materials he had, the company of his choice would definitely be able to produce extraordinary results.

  Sewo heads inside ye factory, noticing how there are hundreds of workers, each with a different role . These workers were very skilled, their hand movements were precise , not wasting anything. These workers were the real deal.

  Sewo felt assured in his choice. He knew he had made the right choice. Sewo walked up to the manager , and expressed his desire to strike a deal . The manager took Sewo in his office.

  Sewo showed him the strong skin of the binder snakes and the other snakes he had , the manager was taken aback . The manager called for his supervisor as this decision was not one he could make alone. Sewo waited for the supervisor and when he re- explained the deal to them, the supervisor agreed.

  Sewo sold all the snakes skins to the factory and attained a sum of 10 gold coins .

  Sewo then went back and gathered his belongings. He had enough money to get back into a cheap inn for a month.

  After booking a room , Sewo sat on the corner of his bed, he finally had a moment to himself. A moment to spend alone , lay-back and relax.

  Sewo contemplated his condition. He is now looking to open some business, he has some money to himself but it's not enough, he needs stability.

  Just as he was thinking about the future, the past he hadn't thought about for so long. His mother, his sister and father . The memory he had with them. He recalls how when he was younger , his mother would chase him around all day and would pat his head so gently, he recalls all the sweet memories he had of them .

  The time he first held his younger sister in his arms , she was so bubbly, so cute, she was his sister, his cherished family. He recalls about those days when he would feed his sister with his hands , play with her and they would steal candies from the shops.

  His sister with her one missing front tooth and a warm smile would always stuck by his side. Sewo feels so happy thinking about her when it suddenly hits him, she's dead , she was killed.

  Her killers are free and happy, she died a miserable death, he held onto her cold lifeless body, he saw her bruised, distorted face which was swollen on one side from the beatings of the people.

  Her bloodshot eyes , he recalls her plump cheeks filled with tears , her lips bruised. His mother , who was protecting her. His mother who was a beauty , looked so miserable and pitiful in her last moments. She didn't even die happily.

  Sewo feels extreme disgust at himself . Why are those people still alive? Why are they happy? Can he really forgive them? Sewo knows those people can't be forgiven . If forgiveness brings about peace and stability to his life , then he rejects both peace and happiness. Sewo promises to himself, in his room, that he will make sure to give everyone who hurt him and his family a miserable death, a death so gruesome that his subjects would beg for death, he promises to make them pay.

  Sewo lays down, in his dark room , he cried , tears dropping down his eyes , he wipes them away yet new ones fall down his eyes. Sewo feels angry and his tears continue to fall. He then rests his head against his hand as he lies sidewise. The bedsheet soaked in his tears as he screams "AHHHH!!!! Motherrrr" , he slams his hand into the bed punching away and crying . Sewo bangs his fists against the bed and he shoves his face in a pillow and screams at the top of his lungs.

  After 15 minutes , he gets a grip of himself and decides to head down for food. Sewo doesn't comb his hair, it's all messy , his eyes red, his body warm. Sewo puts on some clothes and heads downstairs.

  He orders a porridge , since it's the cheapest food he can get. Sewo enjoys the cozy feeling this food brings to him. He was so lost in himself that he didn't notice that a woman came up to him and was calling him out.

  Sewo then snaps back to reality as the women touched his hand to bring him back to his senses.Before the woman speaks anything , Sewo asserts "What do you want ? " His tone was that of annoyance and his eyes looked at the woman with a strong hatered.

  The woman replies"Sir, you seem uhm, sad... Is everything alright? "

  Sewo gets really annoyed at the woman and replies"Why is that any of your business? Just go away ."

  The woman realises that Sewo is not in the right mind and he is very sad, the woman with a look of genuine concern , says"Well , if isn't any of my business , but , wouldn't it be better if you were happier? After you're done eating , let's go for a walk."

  Sewo who was overly emotional at the moment , decided to calm down , he noticed that the woman seemed like a good person , she had a bright smile as well. Sewo replies"Whatever, don't get too friendly or talk too much or I'll leave."

  The woman then smiles and stays by Sewo as he finishes his meal. The girl introduces herself as Theia and they exchange names.

  After Sewo is done eating , the two of them head outside. The woman had a strong body , her hair was blonde, black eyes , she was around 5ft 4 inches in height , she looked very calm and mature.

  Sewo asks her" Why did you come up to me? Why approach me? What do you want from me?"

  Sewo is on guard, he thinks the woman is here to steal his money or just to harm him .

  The woman replies"I used to be a babysitter , I kinda have a knack for telling when kids get emotional and are going to cry. You seemed pretty sad, despite your young age. So I couldn't bear to see you so sad anymore. "

  Sewo feels slightly at ease against her . Then he asks her for the reason she invited him to walk outside. The woman then walks a few steps ahead of him and as the cold winds brush against his face and it starts to rain, the woman looks at Sewo and says" You're a kind person, I can tell. Thanks for saving all those homeless people. I was always worried about whether they would survive or not, but thanks to you , they now have much better living conditions."

  Sewo realises that this woman has been following him for a few days without him even noticing her at all.

  Then the woman continues with" And when I was outside of your room, I wanted to make sure that you didn't have any secret plans of misusing those homeless people , but it seems like you were suffering alone with the wounds you have ."

  Theia then approaches Sewo standing very close to him , she looks up to him, in his sad eyes and his expressionless face , Theia asserts " You're so sad, your eyes ,they have lost their sparks , I don't know what has happened to you, but you're so lonely , I want to help you , I can be your friend ."

  Sewo takes his eyes off of her and closes them , his eyes burn and tears start rolling down his eyes again ,Sewo turns his back against Theia, in an attempt to wipe away his tears and to not show his weak side.

  Theia realises this and immediately circles around him ,She asks him to stop wiping away his tears and to cry freely . She asks him to stop controlling his emotions and to be himself as only then can he find happiness.

  Sewo then opens his eyes again , he is shedding tears , and Theia wipes them away one by one . Sewo feels a connection with her, he feels so happy and at peace with this woman.

  Sewo asks her" Are you married?"

  Theia replies " Huh? Noo " then Sewo continues with " You have any love interests ?" Theia replies " Not really".

  Sewo then coughs before expressing himself to her by saying" I Love you".

  Theia is taken aback and gets flustered , she loses her composure and tells" W-Wh-Whatttt? What? So sudden? How , why what wha---".

  Sewo realises that this reaction would be the normal one in this situation and he then explains himself " Listen, im not a ladies man or whatever weird things you're thinking , it's like, I enjoyed your company a lot today and you helped me feel better,So I just wanted it to be this way for a long long time yk, and so I decided to propose to you, I am not being rash and especially not childish, I am completely certain of my feelings and wish to have this affectionate and loving relationship with you , Theia"

  Theia immediately rejects Sewo and says " it's way too soon for all this, we've just met , so Noo!! We can be friends though".

  Sewo realises that he was being impulsive and feels hurt , but he realises that Theia is actually completely right .

  Sewo then asks Theia about what she does for a living now and learns more about her as a person . The more Theia talks about herself, the more Sewo falls in love with her.

  Sewo has fallen in love with her and this love is only increasing at an abnormal rate.Sewo then asks her to go get a good night's rest and that they should meet up more often.

  Sewo asks here to start a business with him considering both of them are currently struggling with finances and are in need of money .
