After one hour of running, thirty five minutes of ditating under the rising sun and one bath, Scarlet felt as fresh as a daisy and she was ready to conquer the day. There was much to do because they were expecting new immigrants, this would bring more life to the small population of the blue star. So many things had been delivered in advance ahead of their arrival, like the transformable tents which provided shelter in the wild. Esong had acquired thousands of them at a discount from the cha warriors sales departnt because they were mostly used by soldiers and cha warriors. Those who did not want to sleep in tents would live and sleep in their chas until the houses were ready for moving in.
She had also been contacted by a company that wanted to sign her as an official live broadcaster for their network and in one or two hours they would be arriving. The fact that she had only been contacted by only one company puzzled her because she was aweso at it and she had been expecting them to co knocking by the dozen but it seed as if her content was either not attractive to them or they didn't think she would accomplish much with it. Perhaps they considered it to be a fad that would soon pass.
As she walked through the house with materials of silk and cotton she contemplated upon many things.
"You have one new ssage." Her bracelet alerted her. This was a newer bracelet that Esong had formatted and tossed her way before they went in different directions.This one ca with a virtual assistant, hologram projections and an AI that could speak to her through a very small wire device of sorts attached to her ear. The RGB officers that ca to pick up the maids had such small devices connected to their ears but she had not known what they were.
"Read it." She said.
"Greetings Scarlet this is Cecily Wu, Esong's grandmother. I am contacting you because I have so things I need to discuss with you, please don't be scared off for I co in good faith.I hope to hear from you soon"
"Text over."
Esong's grandmother wanted to talk! What was it about? She looked for mories of the woman in her mind and she rembered the stern looking but kind elder who even though she disapproved of Scarlet had dotted on Justin and would say word or two to her about how to raise a child. She had not been so terrible to her and communicating with her could be good for Justin.
"Good morning sister." She run into Beord as she was leaving the house.
"Goodmorning second brother." She replied.
He took the clothing materials out of her hands and indicated with his head that she lead the way.
"You did not sleep at ho last night. " he comnted.
"I did not." She acknowledged.
"Did you spend the night with your husband?"
"I did."
"Was he unkind to you?" Beord asked after ten seconds of silence.
"I would have co running to you or Adler just as I used to do as a child if he dared to do harm . You my brother are my gentle giant, one of my biggest protectors and one of the best n I have ever t. I know you would not hesitate to crush him for ." She saw him face turning slightly red and she laughed. Without hesitating, she pushed her hand through his and they walked at the sa slow pace.
"Is this going to be a regular thing? You spending ti alone with him?" Beord asked her.
"It's good for Justin if his parents get along." She answered.
"What about you little sister, what is good for you?" He asked with a frown. He noticed that she did not ntion herself but rather her son. Would she allow herself to be unhappy for the rest of her life for his sake? If she wanted a divorce like she said once before he would support her.
"I am a mother Beord." She said with a sigh. "When you have a child you stop thinking about yourself and you think about your child. I need to undo all the four years worth of emotional damage that I inflicted on him. I need him and his father to be on good terms which ans I have to be on good terms with Esong too. I can't divorce him and unless I plan to murder him I am stuck with him forever. I am doing my best with what fate has handed to ." She smiled and looked up at him. "What about you second brother is there anyone special in your life?"
"Hmph." He said and grunted. "Won fear because of my size, I say 'hi' and they go running as if I am about to pounce on them."
"That's because they are the wrong won. What would you do with a cowardly woman anyway? You need soone with a character like our mother's." She told him. "You need a tar of giants. I am sure she is coming, destiny will send her your way."
"You really believe in this fate and destiny thing." He said softly but highly disapproving and extrely doubtful.
"Hey, I do not force anyone to belive what I believe, faith cannot be forced. Just like the temples I want built I will not force anyone to go and worship or make so desperate prayer before any deity. My faith is my own and yours is your own. We have free will after all."
"If any reporter contacts you and asks for a quote that is exactly what you should say." He told her.
"Noted." She replied. He used to work in communications so he knew about these things better than she did. "This is it." She pointed at the very large tent where a shoddy wooden poster labeled clothes manufacturing departnt had been set up. "Today its a steel tent but soday it will be large beautiful buildings." She had a vision and one day that vision will co pass.
"I believe you." He told her. "I was a small worker drone in a communications departnt of a company and today I am the Head of communications for an entire planet, dreams co true." He said and laughed. She realised that he actually had a dimple in his right side cheek that made him look extrely adorable. Won should not be running from him, they should be running to him.
She laughed along with him and then bumped her arm against his large fra. "I will see you later brother."
"I am waiting for oat porridge sister, hurry up."
