THE SADNESS to his heart. Commodore talking to the moon as he longing for someone to listen to him. He on the radio to listen to the classical music. It gives peace and serene. It also a safe place that he can go.
This time he removed his mask and his black gloves. He manage to be careful to himself. Analyzing his body, from his hands to his feet, he remove his socks. Playing his finger that his curiosity has started.
"What makes me different?" he quickly reminiscing why his parents always having care with his brother only. And there Hearst was coming in his attic. He immediately wear his mask, even his brother have no idea what his face looks like.
"Brother, I am here because Mom baked cookies for us." Hearst prepared the cookies in the table with the milk in the basket.
"Really? I think it's only prepared for you..." Commodore gradually hesitate as he recognized his brother lying to him.
"Nope! This is for us." Hearst clasped to his older brother. "Commodore, our parents always there to love us," he convincing him but he is now finally free from not expecting anything.
In the dim, he can't even close his eyes. Like a night owl, he wants to know what's on the outside. He always thinks of it. Commodore heard something, a cat voice.
"Why are you here?"
But the cat answered, "Meow~" He might be seen the cat but he can feel the fur of it. The cat sings begin for food in the dark. Commodore chuckled and being acquaint to the cat. The tale makes him unseen smile but he is happy now that someone visits him. Disturbing somehow his life in the silent.
An axiomatic beautiful odious morning when Mr. and Mrs. Keyton arrived to the house of Mr. Kinley. The spouses welcomed their visitors. Mrs. Keyton is a quite chatter to gossip something to Mrs. Lenora that's not interested with her. Mr. Keyton is a gentleman, he is a teacher who loves to teach a young men.
Mrs. Keyton is a bit huge but lovely face and has a small hair cut while his husband is a thin man with bald head. They love to wear with a botton clothes.
"I would like to teach your son, Heart. I want to know what his unfair advantage and honing his abilities to be successful in the future is a bright opportunity for him," Mr. Keyton explain is a simple way.
"Sounds a huge triumph for us to hear that." Mr. Kinsley genuinely glad to Mr. Keyton. He is a good friend of him. Since they were young, they always have been together even in the most hardest times they had.
Hearst trying to know what's going on. When his grandfather, Major Leomord explained it to him. He was so excited to tell this to his older brother, at the same time, he was sad because of his strict parents. "Like a terror lion, you need to hide for your own good," he hissed to himself alone in the corner.
Hearst went outside to tell to his lucky friend, Saviet, the news. "Soon, I will go to school, Saviet."
His friend smiled widely, "Of course, I am too. It's an opportunity that my parents can inherent to me like a gold," his sparkling eyes tells how wealthy the life he would have in the future. A young boy who always perceived richness in the gold as his uncle explained to him that you can't live without a wealth in your hand. He was amazed by that as a young boy.
"You always think about gold. It's nothing if you don't enjoy life. My grandfather told me that being wealthy is being blessed in life. Having a good health and healthy system are the things that gives you power." Hearst showing the power through forming a fist in his hand. The determination he had make Saviet curious about.
"A power..." Saviet murmured.
A daily day of Commodore, reading a book everyday as Hearst taught him how to read. Not only that, he has a greatest tutor which is his grandfather. Everytime that he visited, he was teaching Commodore how to write and read carefully. How to draw a line step by step. How to fix his things. How to ve discipline even he is in the room only. Major Leomord provide everything he need when his parents limit it.
Someone knocking on the door. Commodore waiting the door to open. "Come in!" he shouted.
He peeped and Commodore recognized who's that person. "Gentleman, come and remake yourself. I will guide you my grandson."
"Major Leomord." Commodore saluted to his grandfather who's chuckled softly. He clasped to his grandson who ran into him quickly. "You can change the world by your own. You are a tyro but you are a clever man. You have the ability that no one can copy. Hone yourself and proceed to the next level," Major Leomord opined.
"What do you mean by that? It's been a while, you always pursuing me by your bizarre words of adventure. Am I going to be train like a master or maybe like a ninja," Commodore jested while laughing at his imagination. "But I am willing to do anything so much." The smile of appreciation in small things is the greatest pain that Major Leomord seen in his life.
"Let me take you in the fencing," he hissed. He secretly want to escape Commodore because if he request it to her daughter. He knew that Lenora will be cruel to his son.
"They will be mad at me." The innocent eyes of Commodore reading his grandfather plans.
"If you are forever scared, you will never have again my flashlight," Major Leomord saw his gift for Commodore when he was 5-year-old. Commodore remember that day that gives him so much to be grateful.
He nodded, "I will come with you, grandfa. But remember that I can't remove my mask."
"Don't worry, no one can see your handsome face," he chuckled. "Don Derwent Spike might be curious but I know you are like a stone. What your mother told you, you always follow her rules like she is a law or the legislative... Hmmm..." Major Leomord sighed as he always mind his strict daughter.
"Don Derwent Spike? Who is he?"
"The greatest law," he answered with guiltiness.
Major Leomord guide his grandson to step outside of his room in the attic. Commodore was scared but realizing how happy Hearst going in and out. He wanted to see the outside, he promise that he will. As he decided to step on, hus lips curved like a sweet candy he tasted. He was so excited, that was the first he saw the chimney with a fire. The glistening vase in the table with tulips.
Because of gladness, he is running anywhere but his grandfather stopped him. "Commodore, calm down," he simply said.
Major Leomord prepared his jeep. Commodore wearing his grandfather jacket and as he saw himself in the mirror. He saw the stainless mask looks like; However, he enjoyed watching the trees and houses along the way. He found something is true in life. Having no life in the dim is unfair world he lived.
When they arrived in a hug house like a palace. It's clean pure white and enter in the two white doors. He looked around, perusing the wholly of surrounding. He wasn't amazed, it's difficult and different that he lost the significant if his life in the rooftop alone. Shimmering and trembling for not fighting for his freedom.
That night, he recognized that's not easy to hold anything around him. When he found himself wearing an electrically conductive jacket worn by foil. From fencing mask, glove, chest plastic protector, plastron, fencing jacket, knickers, and fencing socks, to cover the knee.
He was scared to remove his mask in the front of the mirror. Commodore don't let himself drive his curiosity. Replacing his stainless steel mask to fencing mask.
"You cover your face like a faceless ninja, ha," Major Leomord testingly the boy to be the next Major and a great soldier.
He's heart start to feel nervous but Major Leomord doesn't want to terrified him. "Let me start to a basic steps until you can stand alone. You don't need to be tremulous when you don't know something. You can try, you always be."
Commodore gulped, "I don't understand but I see that you gonna leave me alone like in the darkness."
"But it's different from the blueness."
