Even thinking about it made my heart feel torn as I ran into the torrenting rain.
Daughter!
That was a constant feeling as I looked around on the streets or rummaged through piles of boxes, but it was especially hard when I checked the passing carriages on the main road.
Instinctively, I jumped onto the road as sothing caught my eye in front of the approaching carriage from a distance.
Skrrrt! I was hit by a fierce curse as loud as the clashing sound of tal.
What the hell! Do you wish to die that much?! Crazy bitch!
Ahh
No, its not our baby.
Even after being subjected to such curses, Ive never felt such relief.
I collapsed on the ground as I saw the white envelope flying towards the front of the carriage, and the cursing inside only increased.
Skrrrrt!
I was splashed in muddy water as they were thrown by the large wheels, but I didnt even think about feeling cold.
Excuse , have you perhaps not seen our child, or rather, a small swan? Its really small, about the size of a fist and a white baby swan
Get out of here. What a crazy woman.
.
I asked everyone on the street, but I didnt get any satisfactory answers.
I dont even rember the gazes they all held towards .
A shaless woman drenched in the rain? A crazy bitch?
Indeed, being crazy wouldve been way less painful
..Ah!
I was walking through the alleys, searching for my child, when suddenly I stopped in my tracks. Despite the heavy rain, a thought struck like a bolt of lightning.
What did you learn today, my princess?
Teacher told to hide like this if I got lost!
Like this!
She was shaking their body like a white ball and her voice was loud and clear.
This is how you do it. You cant go to people! Even if they tell to co, I wont go! Until mom cos, you have to huddle in the bushes
The bushes!
I need to find the bushes!
As I searched around, looking dazed and confused, my already soaked hair whipped my face.
It hurt, but it kept focused.
I grabbed my stretched out dress with one hand and ran in the opposite direction.
Rembering the map of the swamp that Selene had stolen for before, I looked for a reed bed that the baby swan might be hiding in.
Shell be there. Of course she will.
Shes very smart, after all.
I may not believe myself, but I can believe Haniel. If its what the adults say, if its my words and the teachers words, she is a child who nods her head from the get-go. Even if she doesnt like it, she eventually follows like a good child when she goes to see her disliked older brother.
The old, worn out shoes eventually ca off in the pouring rain. When my bare feet touched the cold ground, I finally seed to be coming to my senses.
Daughter!
Even though I thought I was already running at full speed, my strength increased when I saw the bushes on the outskirts.
After running and running, at so point, the sharp sll of blood reached the tip of my nose.
Mom, Mom is here!
The wet reed in my hand was smoother than the dress strands earlier. And when I thought about whether our Haniel was inside, I felt more so.
Please, let her be safe. Just let her be safe
You just need to be safe. As long as youre safe, Ill be fine. All fine
Even though I dont deserve to be your mother, you are so precious and valuable to
Still, I want to raise yousniff.
My frozen cheeks were wet with hot tears. I thought I had lost all sensation in the fierce rain, but I felt a trickle of warmth and from that point on, I was no longer in control.
Mother is here. Sniff, mother is here!
Mommy?
Yes, mother.my daughter!!
After chasing the faint echoes in the rain for a while, I stopped in the middle of the path again.
It wasnt just an echo. It was definitely our Haniel!
I knew without a doubt that our Haniel was sowhere in this desolate field, just like how I knew that she wasnt inside the carriage.
Haniel! Where are you? Haniel!!
Mommy.
Hhhph!
As soon as I heard a childs voice clearly, my suffocated breath bursted out. I felt a tiny, strange feeling but it was all good.
Strange or not, Haniel is my cute little swan princess no matter what
Mom? Mommy?
As I waved my arms and searched through the reeds, two arms like mine reached out to embrace . The thin, white wings were not smooth, but her small and slender arms firmly embraced my neck.
Sniff! Haniel was scared!
