The Knight in Shinning Suit

The green-eyed girl

The sound of an old bicycle was heard along the road . The wind blew his gray blonde hair that was left unraveled. Her emerald green eyes exuded a great passion of life spirit. Her little lips always put a smile on her face. The girl is indeed unlike most other girls, because an accident that befell her eight years ago now she is mute and partially disfigured. Scratches of wounds from the temple to the jaw of his cheek had elongated scars almost everyone looked disgusted at him, but he did not care about it, because he's used to the way people look at him as if he's a disgusting bacterium.

The girl smiled broadly at the smile of an old couple. The old man who was the husband of the woman beside him greeted him.

''Good afternoon Phillippa!''

Phillippa only returned with a warm smile to the man she knew as Mr. Richard Raven who lived at the end of the path to his home. The old man lives with his wife Marvella Raven, while their three sons are married and their fourth child is still in college. They all live in New York.

Raven's wife's husband was very kind to her and also her father. They often bring good food to them. Phillippa is very happy to have neighbors as good as they are. The lives of Phillippa and her father are very peaceful. His father only worked as a vegetable merchant in a small shabby shop, while Phillippa worked as anything. Sometimes he worked as a laundry laborer, a cleaner at restaurants, a waiter even as a babysitter he did to help his father to make a living. Phillippa could not bear to see his father working alone to meet their needs and he was grateful there were still people who would accept him as he was.

A small red brick house was seen by him. Phillippa paddled his bike even faster to get to his house which he had lived in for five years. The girl got off her bike and led her into the courtyard of the house surrounded by a white-painted wooden fence. He walked through the path to his home. The left right side of his front yard had been transformed into a vegetable garden by his father. Some cabbages have grown well and some tomato trees are already fruiting which in a few days are ready for harvest and will be sold in the market.

Inside the house was very quiet and there were no signs of life from his father. The house only consists of two bedrooms, the living room as well as the family room and kitchen. Phillippa saw the clock that had shown at one o'clock in the afternoon his father should be at home for lunch, then he looked for it behind the house that had been transformed as well as a vegetable garden. Phillippa smiled to see him cleaning the weeds. His father turned his back on Phillippa's arrival, then smiled warmly at her, who was always liked by the girl. The man stood up with a sweaty sweat filling his forehead.

Phillippa hugged her father fondly.''You've gone home?''ask father. Phillippa just nodded. Eight years ago he had forgotten how he spoke and from then on he became mute. According to doctors, he suffered severe trauma from an accident when he was a child. Sometimes there were some people always mocking him just because he could not speak and also his deformed face. Phillippa only communicates with the sign language he learned years ago with his father or he writes down the words on a piece of paper he always carries with him wherever he goes, because not everyone he met could sign language like his father.

"Dad has lunch? "Agenis speaking when translating Phillipa sign language.

''Not yet. I haven't had lunch."

Phillippa was angry and glared at her father. Aegenis smiled trying to calm her angry foster daughter.''I'll eat now. Have you had lunch?''

Phillippa nodded, then Aegenis re-pronounced her daughter's sign language. "I've had lunch with Mrs Whitlock."

''Whitlock's mom was really good. I think I'm starting to like it."

Ambar Whitlock is a happy flower shop owner and Phillippa has been working in her flower shop for two months as a flower stamp . Mrs Whitlock loved every flower arrangement the girl made and decided to hire one. Phillippa was so happy that he finally got a steady job and a steady income. Mrs Whitlock treated her well and did not blame her for not being able to speak and having a deformed face. Phillippa asked for permission to go home to see his father to make sure that his father was okay, because he was worried about his father's health. Four months ago Phillippa found her father unconscious in the back garden and she was in a panic. Fortunately, Raven's mistress came to bring food to her house, and Raven's mistress called her husband and took Aegenis to the hospital. The doctor who examined him said that his father had a heart attack.

From that moment on Phillippa really paid attention to the health of his adoptive father. He will not hesitate to scold his father, if he forgets to take medicine or miss his meal. Phillippa loved him very much and he did not want to lose his father, because his father was the only one he had now. He had lost everything in the past and did not want to lose it a second time. His life is now calm and happy. Phillippa will not let anyone take away his happiness now.

Phillippa smiled and watched her father eat. For him it was enough, if his father was by his side.

''How is your job today? Everything going well?''

Phillippa nodded. Aegenis began to read Phillipa's hand movements.

Everything went well. Mrs Whitlock was pleased with my work today.

''Dad was happy to hear it. You'd better get back to your place of work."

Phillippa cleaned the dinner table and made sure his father had taken medicine, then he returned to say goodbye to his father. The happy flower shop looked very crowded when Phillippa returned and she immediately went in to help Madam Whitlock and Angelica serve the buyers. They can breathe a sigh of relief once the buyers are served. Angelica and Madame Whitlock look tired and they sit back and enjoy the freshly made orange juice from Phillipa.

''It's all because of you Philly, you're so great. Since you worked here my shop has always been crowded. Where did you learn flower arrangement?''ask Mrs Whitlock.

Phillippa wrote down a few words on a piece of paper, then showed them to Whitlock and Angelica.

My mum.

''Surely your mother was very good at arranging flowers. Does your mother have her own flower shop?''ask Mrs Whitlock again.

Phillipa quickly returned to writing the answer. My mother loved flowers. He has a very large flower garden. My mother doesn't have a flower shop.

''Oh. Too bad. But I'm glad your mother's skills are down to you. You must miss him a lot, right?''

Phillippa nodded. Mrs Whitlock stood up, hugged Phillippa. ''Your mother must be very happy to have a child like you, she said later, then Madame Whitlock let go of her embrace and said, We should close the shop now. I think today is enough. You can go home after cleaning up the shop."

Lady Whitlock went to the second floor of her flower shop, after the woman was nowhere to be seen, Angelica approached Phillippa who was tidying up the leaves and flower stems scattered on the floor. '' Philly, do you know the gossip that is now being talked about?''angelica asked in a soft voice almost resembling a whisper.

Angelica Brian is one of the happy flower shop waitresses and her most chatty friend, even though she is a good girl, beautiful, and the same age as him. Angelica has shoulder-length red hair with bright brown eyes and she loves to gossip. Angelica knows everything about what's going on in this city. He was also the best friend he had and the first person he wanted to be friends with.

Phillippa shook his head.

''According to the news, Raven's husband and wife's last son has arrived. Charlotte saw him walking around here while you were coming home. Charlotte almost fainted from seeing him, because she thought he was so handsome. Too bad I didn't see it. Your house is close to her, so you can see what she looks like. All the women here talk about him a lot."

Phillippa simply listened to her with a smile as she tidied up the florist and let Angelica continue to talk.''His name is if it's not Tristan's fault. You have to see what he is like. Is she as handsome as the women here talk about."

Angelica looked at Phillippa who was busy cleaning up the store and she looked annoyed to see him.''Are you listening to what I am saying?''

Phillippa wrote his answer on a piece of paper. Ja. I listened.

''Good. According to reports, he is single . This is our chance to get his attention. Maybe he'll like one of us. If he finally likes you, I'll let him go for you. You want to find information about him."

Phillippa looked at Angelica not like.''C'mon Philly!''he said with a plea. The girl let out a long breath, then nodded. ''Thank you Philly, '' said Angelica happily and immediately hugged her.''You're a very good friend."

The florist already looks clean after half an hour they clean it. Phillippa tidied up a pile of newspapers and magazines that were still cluttered at the table next to the cashier. His body became tense and both his hands clutched firmly on both sides of the newspaper. Phillippa saw the face of a man he knew very well. His bright green eyes radiated anger and resentment towards the man who had already made his family crumble . Phillippa wanted so badly to destroy the man's life as he destroyed his family's life. The happy family photo posted in the newspaper made Phillippa even more angry. He***-wringed the paper in annoyance and threw it in the trash.[ ]
