Chapter 2

it's just how it is

Raymond was in his room, rubbing his hands against his face. He didn't have any expressions on his face. He didn't cry, nor was he upset. Then his butler walked in.
"May I come in?" asked Butler Steven
"yea, sure. What is it?" asked Raymond
"I know he hit you again. Why don't you just stand up to him? Why don't you say something to him?" asked The butler not knowing what the answer would be.
"Steven, he's right. He has the right to hit me. I mean all these years he has always hit me, so it MUST be right. What am I supposed to do? He puts food on my table He provides what I wear. I can't say anything to him that would change what he does to me. It's fine." sighed Raymond
"Someday, you'll regret staying here. Someday." Butler Steven said as he walked out of Raymond's room.

"We're here." Ron said as he went into the flower shop.
"I'm sorry about before. I wasn't looking, and I crashed into you. By the way, My name is Ron."
"The name's Leila." She smiled.
"So what is it like working here?"Ron asked.
"It's pretty good. Just getting the fresh smell of flowers makes my day a whole lot better. I can't see the beauty, but I can smell it."
Ron looked at Leila with sadness. He didn't know what to say. He has never been around someone who was blind.

"It's ok. I'm fine with it. Had it since I was a child. Never knew why I got it in the first place though," she paused.

*Flashback*
"Dr. Chan, what is wrong with my daughter? Why can't she see anymore? Why is this happening to her?" Leila's mother started to cry.
"I'm sorry. I honestly don't know the answer is. I checked her out. And her x-rays shows no sign of blindness. Did something happen to her? Something traumatic? Because that can affect her eyesight, because her brain can choose not to see anymore." Dr. Chan replied
"Mommy, I want him back. Where did he go? He was my best friend. Mommy...." tears fell from Leila's eyes.
"Leila, Leila..."
*end of flashback*

"Leila, Leila?" Ron was nudging on Leila's arms.
"Huh?" She realized she was thinking before.
"You seem very deep into thought, Are you ok?" he asked with concern
"I'm fine, just thinking. So what do you do?" Leila asked as she was watering the flowers.
"I go to school at Berks College. Nothing big or anything. But I miss England." He said
"England? wow, wouldn't it be great to see England." she said
Ron didn't know what to say. He knew that she couldn't see.
"Oh, I mean, be there, in England." Leila replied knowing that she made him uucomfortable.
Leila held the rose and gently smelled it. "If only I can see the beautiful redness of the rose. If only I can see its beauty.
Ron looked at her. He saw real beauty right in front of him. It was her.

"Hi Raymond. sorry to bother you, but I think we should meet and talk about the assignment." Nancy was on the phone talking.
"Uh, sure. How's now?"Raymond asked looking at his watch.
"Ok, um, meet at 520 restaurant in 30 minutes. Ok?
"That's fine." replied Raymond as he hung up the phone.

Raymond came in the 520 restaurant a little late. He saw Nancy, and she waved at him. Raymond walked over to the table and sat down.
"Sir, what would you like?" asked the waiter
"Just tea. Thanks." replied Raymond.
There was an awkward moment. They didn't know what to say to each other. They didn't know each other.
"You know gullible was takin' out of the dictionary yesterday?" Raymond asked trying to end the awkwardness.
"Really?" Nancy wondered.
"hahaha..you're so gullible."Raymond started laughing.
"Oh, I get it. That's a good one." She noticed red marks on his face."What's on your face?"
"Oh, it's nothing. Just a rash" Raymond said as he tries to hide his face.
"Waiter, Can i get a pack of ice here."Nancy yelled across the room.
The waiter came with the pack of ice.

Nancy took it, and gently put it on Raymond's face.
"It must really hurt."She said as she gently rubbed the ice on his face.
Raymond didn't know what to say. He just stared at her. He looked blankly at her pretty brown eyes, and pink lips, and her soft hair.
"Oh, I have a joke. I just thought of it." Nancy said out of the blue.
"Um, ok." Raymond was disappointed that it ended so quickly.
"What does Snoop Dogg say when he has an umbrella?"
"I don't know"
"fo'drizzle." Nancy started giggling immensely.
Raymond was confused. He didn't know who Snoop dogg was.
"Oh, I get it. good one."
Raymond smiled at her.

They drank their beverages, and talked for 1 hour. They never had another awkward moment since then.
