Chapter 227: Kalena’s past 3
A few days passed after that incident and soon those days turned into weeks and at last months. Kalena’s father remained cooped up in his room all day. Not even for dinner did he come out so the food was served inside his room. She noticed her mother’s mood dampen as time passed and could understand that it was due to her father’s absence.
It was as though they had lost her father to that strange fairy. Yes, Kalena got to know about her father’s other woman’s real identity when she heard it in passing while her mother was fighting with her father. That woman was apparently a water fairy and also a princess of their kind in the fae realm.
Kalena also heard about that woman getting married recently. And when her father learned about this, well how to put it.....he looked devastated and betrayed. However wasn’t he the one to betray her mother first? He was just reaping what he sowed. This was how Kalena felt about her father’s current situation. Whereas on the other side, her mother was ecstatic as soon as she heard that news and that feeling was mutual for Kalena. She too felt very happy. How could she not when that witch of a fairy finally left their lives?
But this happiness of hers didn’t last long because just a few months after that, Kalena’s mother got the news of that fairy’ husband dying. He was supposedly murdered while the fairy was giving birth to their child. And the one who killed that person was none other than her father.
The entire heavenly realm was thrown into chaos after that. The upper deities together with some archangels daily visited their house to capture her father in order to punish him for breaking the law. But the latter was never found in their home because he had fled somewhere and couldn’t be found. And the result of all of this fell on their family including herself and her mother. Her father and mother were stripped of their standing as archangels and instead became normal angels. Then as their daughter, she was punished to always remain an angel. There was no chance ever in her life for her to alleviate her position unless she marries an archangel. But that was unlikely because who would even want to marry her in the future knowing of their family’s past?
Everything looked bleak to her. Her mother’s condition deteriorated as days passed. Kalena saw her mother cry in despair one second to only laugh the next like a hysterical person.
"Mother?" ’thud’ Kalena recoiled in her place when a vase was directly thrown at her. She blankly looked at the broken shards as tears fell from her eyes. Had she not reacted faster, the porcelain vase would have hit her head.
"Get out of here!" then she heard her mother’s shrill scream breaking her thoughts. She had never before seen her mother like this.
"Mother please calm down" she tried to console her mother to only receive a harsh glare in return.
"How can I be calm!?" shouted her mother, "How can I when I lost everything!? My life is ruined... Everything is because of your father....that bastard ruined our life" then she tearfully looked at Kalena before adding, "My daughter will never be able to become an archangel.....how could he do this to my child? No! All of this happened because of that bitch! If only she had not entered our life then nothing like this would have ensued"
Kalena shuddered in her place hearing her mother’s next bone-chilling words, "I will kill her!" then she marched towards Kalena before lowering herself to the ground, "Don’t worry Lena, mother will make all of this right. I will not let this happen to you"
With those seemingly final words, Kalena’s mother stormed out of the room. She stood trying to process everything that she had heard but it was too late because her mother had already left their house before she could reach her.
