The sun retreated behind the hills at the far end site of the lake. A cold breeze blowing her hair into a total mess. Her blond hair shine like strands of gold, as the sun showered its last glimmer of golden light onto her hair. She stood there motionless, sipping in the breathtaking sight of twilight. Her hand was cold.
Warm clothes was wrapped around her shoulder, shielding her from the chilling evening breeze. She know precisely who had put that clothes around her. She smile a painful smile as she slowly turn her face to face her most devoted followers. Since she was born to this world, to the day her family lost everything, and even when she can't effort to pay him, he still serve her the same.
When her family was broke, she was left with the only thing she bought with her own money, a small wooden cottage by the side of a pristine and crystal clear lake. And now she was left alone after her parents met a fatal accident three years ago. since then, her butler, Mr. Edward, never left her side. He had his loyalty to her family for a very long time. His ancestor was also a loyal butler of her family. For generation, his family had live to serve and protect her family. But after a very long time, this family lost it glory. But butler Edward loyalty will never fade.
She knows that butler Edward sacrifice can never be repaid. And her time is running short. There is nothing much she can do now. And the time has come for her too choose between what she desire or what her family had planned for her.
The proposal had come in last week. she had been thinking about this over and over again. If she accept the proposal, she may had chance to bring glory to her family and uphold her family name. But this also mean that she had to sacrifice her own dream.
Butler Edward had also act as her adviser all this time but this is the only thing he had left the young miss to solve by herself. She know that her family name is important, yet she had her own dream to pursue. The family name is at stake.
Tomorrow at the first crack of dawn, she will be taken to the other side of the country to meet the family of her in-laws. By that time, she had to come with a solid decision.
But today, as the lake reflect the light of the moon like a huge mirror glued to the ground, she will just sat quietly on the veranda of her cottage, savoring the serenity of the night in her save and secure sanctuary.
Tomorrow, she have to decide... tomorrow.
