Chapter 63
The Beginning (Part 7)
Birth of Nilela (Part B):
'Stupid, if only Daisy hasn't gone to live in father's kingdom I could have killed you long ago,' Flower thought to herself and Nilela smiled sheepishly as if he heard her thoughts.
"No one, sometimes my nose bleeds on its own." Flower lied, the nose bleeding had stopped, and faced her son, "This is my sister's son....." returning her gaze back to Nilela's face, "What's your name my boy?"
Still smiling sheepishly, "You can call me Nilela, and I am not your boy," Nilela answered and pointed at Daniel, "He is your boy."
Flower forced herself to smile. "What brings you here, Nilela?" she asked.
"Oh, I came to see my kingdom and see your pretty face, Auntie Flower," Nilela answered, holding her two cheeks and pinching it so hard to draw out blood. "And also to remind you that the time is coming when I shall sit on my throne, hope you have already told your son the throne isn't his?" he asked, releasing his hold on her cheeks.
"What did you say?" Daniel demanded, his fingers closing into a tight fist.
Facing him as Nilela closed the distance between them. "The Nilela throne is mine and that's why it is named after me, or didn't your mother tell you that?" he asked and playfully pinched Daniel's nose, "And that glaring won't help you so quit that and smile instead. I just came to remind your mother, I really mean no harm brother, bye." he added and turned to leave but paused in his movements and returned his gaze at Flower, "Oh and you didn't even give your favorite nephew a hug, anyway, let me help you with that." He hugged Flower, holding her tightly that when he finally let her go, she was coughing and trying to breath faster. "Bye Auntie Flower, I hope you miss me."
As if that was not enough, his wings came out from his back and wiped Daniel and Flower who was still trying to catch her breath to the floor. "Oops, sorry about that, still trying to learn how to fly with my wings.....oh don't worry, I know you both won't understand a single thing I said about these wings because you both are wingless," he said and flew upwards, disappearing into the Sky.
"Who is he mother?" Daniel replied, standing up and wiping off the dirt on his clothes, glaring at the guards who were still on the ground.
Getting up also, "That's my twin sister's son, Daisy, remember the one I told you that took everything away from me?" She said and only continued when he nodded his head, "I thought Daisy won't tell him anything."
"It appears she did."
End of Flashback:
"Oh I am so sorry about what he did to you and your son?" Daisy apologizes on the behalf of her son after listening to what Flower told her.
"It's okay, just control him."
"I will try," Daisy promised and couldn't bring herself to tell Flower that Nilela has been playing with Michael breads when he was still a toddler till now that he is all grown up, regardless of the Angel warning.
They enter the palace and Flower takes Daisy to the dining room where Daniel was eating. He paused when he saw Daisy.
"I guess this is Nilela's mother," Daniel said staring at Daisy. "She looks just like except for her hair."
"Yes, she is Nilela's mother, Daisy."
"Greetings to you auntie Daisy,"
"Aww, your son is so cute, sis."
"He is, let's sit and eat," Flower said, going to sit down and Daisy did the same, pulling a chair and seating down closer to Flower.
A servant came in and placed the fried full big chicken on the table and left.
"That's for you sister, I didn't know you would come,"
"Oh, thanks, don't mind me, I came unexpectedly. It's been long I saw you. Can't believe hundred years has gone by."
"Yeah,"
Daisy cut a small piece from the chicken and wanted to eat it when a chain came out from the door and encircled the piece of meat from Daisy's hand, collecting it with full chicken and lifted itself to the air.
"What is that?" Flower asked as she and her son were staring at the floating long chain in awe.
"Oh it belongs to Nilela. The Creator gave it to him to use and play when Nilela disturbance became too much." Daisy replied. "The chain is here which means Nilela is coming, he doesn't want me.to eat without him being here."
"I love this, I want it, mother," Daniel said.
"Daisy, your nephew said he wants the chain, won't you give it to him, at least as a gift."
"When Nilela comes, I shall tell him to give your son," no sooner has she uttered the words, the dining room door opened and Nilela came in.
"You cheated, I said at the count of three and you left before I could even finish the word, one!" he yelled at the chain.
"Nilela, your nephew likes the chain and I will love it if you give it to him." Daisy told her son. She knows her sister, Flower is looking for something to hold to start an argument between them.
"No."
"Please Nilela."
"I said no mother," Nilela said, clapping his hands and the chain dropped the chicken to the ground and rolled itself into a circle and rested on the waist of Nilela. "No,"
"Nilela," Flower said this time, getting up to her feet and started crying. "My son doesn't have anything to play with and he loves that chain, can't you give him, you will get another."
"My no is no."
"Please Nilela," Flower said crying out the more, "This is the first time he would request something from me and I don't want to disappoint him, please I am begging you."
"Nilela, give your brother the chain," Daisy pleaded.
"Come closer auntie Flower, I want to whisper something to you," Nilela said and Flower moved closer to him, crying harder, he hugged her and said in a low tone. "Do you think I am dumb like my mother? I am not moved by your beautiful tears Flower. If you like, cry a river, I will swim in that river and laugh at you. Look at me very well, my name is Nilela, not Daisy."
