The Unattainable
TU—1
Life has its ups and downs and we all are human beings who make mistakes.
We all hurt each other, be it knowingly or unknowingly.
They say, there is a floral garden for each person.
Although, It's not what you think it is.
It's not a floral garden god gave you for happiness. This floral garden counts your mistakes, regrets and sorrows.
Each time you make a mistake or hurt another being, a flower wilts in your floral garden.
But the more kind you are to people and the more you help the ones in need, the more your floral garden blooms and sparkles.
They say, Once you die, You are judged based on the number of flowers you've wilted.
There's this woman I know.
One thing I know about her is that her floral garden is going to be the most beautiful one I see.
Her soul is the purest you'll ever know and she is the kindest you'll ever meet.
A bright and cheerful girl who always goes above and beyond for others.
She's a loving soul and a sweetheart.
She puts others before herself and always tries to be the better version of herself.
After completing my med school, I finally joined my family's hospital as a cardiologist.
My family's hospital— Aldridge Health Plus,
Is a well known hospital in Kanzel.
But I didn't get into it through connections and nepotism. I got into it through my hardwork.
And with my first ever salary as a cardiologist, I took my mother on a vacation trip!
Kinze
Sorry, It's a bit boring at the start and might not be good as I'm not very good at startings— haha..
Kinze
Also, I completely made the floral garden thingy up. :p Feel free to believe it as it's a cute theory! But please don't use it in your stories without my permission! :< Ask me first! ʕ´• ᴥ•̥`ʔ
Kinze
Well- Worry not! I'll take you guys on a rollercoaster!
Kinze
Stay tuned for more updates, I swear this journey will be worth it. ;)

6th April, 2017; In Arhia
Penelope Aldridge
We are in Arhia!!! (✯ᴗ✯) *Raises both hands*
Ursula Aldridge [ Penelope's Mother]
*Chuckles* Slow down, girl.
Arhia is most famous for its rugged landscapes and scenery.
This place looks like it's straight out of a fairy tale.
This place is also famous for its people's religious beliefs.
Arhia has countless churches and they say many prophets stayed here.
Penelope and her family are very religious and believe in God.
Arhia was their ideal city for a trip.
But as everything has its pros and cons, Arhia did too.
As many religious people came here with loads of money, stealing and scamming are like an everyday occurrence.
So, You'll meet many good people here, but the bad people will also have their fair share…
We are finally in Arhia. I'm so excited!
Penelope Aldridge
Who's calling-
I looked at the called ID and smiled as I received the call.
Penelope Aldridge
We just reached Arhia. *Giggles*
Penelope Aldridge
I was about to call you but you beat me to it. *Said excitedly*
Silas Blythe
*Chuckles* Then, When are you going to check into the hotel?.
Penelope Aldridge
We're going there!
Silas Blythe
I see. Did you eat anything? Also, Hire someone to carry your luggage. How will you carry it all by yourself?
Silas Blythe
This is why I told you, I should come with—
Penelope Aldridge
Alright, Alright! Stop nagging! *Pouts*
Silas Blythe
*Sigh* Where's aunt?
Penelope Aldridge
She's right besideeeee— Whaaa?? (ʘᗩʘ’)
Silas Blythe
What's wrong??
As I looked beside me to look at my mom, I realized my mom wasn't there!
Penelope Aldridge
Mom's not here with me!
Silas Blythe
What? Look around!
I looked around and saw my mom standing near a small shop.
Penelope Aldridge
Hold on, Silas. I'll call you later, I found her!
Silas Blythe
She already went there alone and wouldn't let me send any guards... *sigh*
Kinze
[Not alone but okay.]
TU—3
Penelope went near her mom and called out to her.
Penelope Aldridge
Hey, Mom!
Ursula turned around and looked at Penelope.
Ursula Aldridge [ Penelope's Mother]
Oh! Lipi meet this young man!
Elijah Campbell
Hello. Nice to—
Penelope Aldridge
Mom! *Holds her wrist and tries to take her*
Ursula Aldridge [ Penelope's Mother]
Lipi! *Takes her hand back* What are you doing?!
Penelope Aldridge
What are you doing, mom?
She glanced at Elijah and said,
Penelope Aldridge
Don't talk to strangers... Didn't I tell you... *Whispers*
Ursula Aldridge [ Penelope's Mother]
Don't worry, dear! Elijah is a nice guy! *Whispers*
Penelope Aldridge
How would you know? *Whispers* *Face palm*
Ursula Aldridge [ Penelope's Mother]
I talked to him earlier, dear. *Whispers*
Penelope Aldridge
Mom, He could be pretending! *Whisper yells* Didn't Silas tell you that there are many thieves and scammers.
Penelope Aldridge
*Looks at the source of voice*
Ursula Aldridge [ Penelope's Mother]
*Looks at the source of voice*
Elijah Campbell
Well— Worry not, lady. I'm not a thief, nor a scammer.
Penelope Aldridge
Something a THIEF or a SCAMMER would say!
Elijah Campbell
But I'm not!
Ursula Aldridge [ Penelope's Mother]
(+_+)
Penelope Aldridge
You can't fool me!
Penelope Aldridge
You are a thief and I know it! Did you think you could fool my mother? *Rudely*
All the passersby gave Elijah a weird look which made him feel humiliated.
Ursula Aldridge [ Penelope's Mother]
Lipi, Enough! Stop it already! I was just asking him about the directions!
Ursula Aldridge [ Penelope's Mother]
Turns out he is from Arhez, too! And he also came here because he wanted to visit the churches! I found so much in common, so I talked to him.
Ursula Aldridge [ Penelope's Mother]
Stop accusing him, Lipi dear.
Penelope Aldridge
Mom, He might be a stalker!
Lipi is not always rude and paranoid, but this was her first time traveling by just herself and she wanted to make sure her mother is safe. As she heard lots of rumors about scamming and stealing, she was paranoid and on her guard.
Ursula Aldridge [ Penelope's Mother]
I had enough, Lipi! Let's go and check in.
Ursula Aldridge [ Penelope's Mother]
*Turns towards Elijah*
Ursula Aldridge [ Penelope's Mother]
I'm sorry, dear. She's a bit paranoid. Forgive her.
Saying that Ursula grabbed one of the suitcases and started walking.
Penelope Aldridge
*Glares at Elijah and holds one of her suitcases*
Elijah Campbell
Lipi, right?
Penelope Aldridge
*Looks at him* What?!
Elijah Campbell
It would be better if you keep your attitude at home and behave like a better person. It won't take long for me to break that ego and attitude of yours. *Blunt*
Penelope Aldridge
I'd like to see you try. *Coldly* Don't come in front of me again, Mr. Thief!
Saying that Lipi held her suitcase and ran behind her mom
Elijah Campbell
I'll crush your ego... *Mumbles*
Penelope Aldridge
*Turns back* Hey, Thief!
Elijah Campbell
*Looks at her*
Penelope Aldridge
*Sticks her tongue out* Bleh! (눈‸눈)
