ELLA AND MICHAEL

ELLA AND MICHAEL
The Right Hand of the Monkfish II.



“But are you sick too? Why is your voice like a sick person?” asked Marco plainly


“Kak, please hug me just once” pinta Michael on Marco


Marco hugged Michael while patting his sister on the back, like a mother who was comforting her sad child.


“So I'm so scared” said Michael


“You're scared ? You're scared because you're a sister. You don't have to be afraid because I'm gonna protect you. I'm your sister. I'm walimu” Marco replied to Michael.


“I'm so happy, I'm so happy because you're my brother” Michael told Marco.


After hugging long enough, Marco finally decided to return to Jane's mother's house because the day was also getting late.


Michael escorts Marco and Jim to the front of the castle. When he was about to re-enter the castle.


He found a packet of brown envelopes lying on the doorstep of the castle. He took it and opened it in the castle.


After he opened the package of brown envelopes, it turned out that the contents in it was a fairy tale book of children with dark green covers.


“Hand and Sang Monkfish.” He read the book. He opened up sheet by sheet.


“A long time ago, there was born a beautiful baby girl from a wealthy family. The mother loved her beautiful and white child like a magnolia.


The mother even swore and promised him the sun and moon. The mother was very happy when she saw the development of her child.


His son began to eat and his mother fed him. The mother ran over to her son when she saw him start walking.


‘My son, mother will carry you. Come quickly up to my back.’


The mother did her best to raise her child perfectly, and she said,


‘My beloved son, I must rest. From now on please provide me food.’


‘Then please carry me, my son. My leg hurts.’


The boy said ‘Mother, I have no legs, because I never step on the ground, because you keep carrying me. However I have a very big mouth.’


Then he opened his huge mouth. The mother was angry and yelled at him.


‘After I noticed, you're not my perfect son. You're just a big-mouthed, gunless monkfish. You are a failure who can only accept and can not give anything.’


The mother threw her child into the sea. After a bad day of weather and storms, sailors often heard the sound of the boy crying.


‘Mother.. mother...what's my fault ? Please, please bring me back. Please.’


Story's over. But Michael found a handwriting on the back of the book.


‘This book is the only one you've ever failed, but it's the book I like the most. Because you're a writer, you know that, too. All that fails must be discarded.’


That's the word that was written at the end of the book.


On the other hand, Ella was sitting in her room, opening a brown envelope, then she called someone.


“For a long time not talking, I want to pay my debt to you. After all this time, I'll make you hold the pen again.”


 ***


This morning social media was horrendous with the news of the release of the last volume of the novel “The Witch of Barat”.


Feli and Tom are starting to get confused because many media are calling him and asking the truth about it.


On the other hand, Marco got a call from someone.


“Marco, can you come out for a minute. I'm the head nurse, Rose, want to talk to you for a minute” said someone across the street who turned out to be Rose.
