Farewell, friends

Greetings to all,

After more than 8 years, I feel it is time to draw the curtain on this blog. This blog was originally titled “Pen of Passion”. It was renamed to “Sword of Fury” (title of my novel) and finally to “Good Morning, Mr. Simon”. During these years, I made many friends and got to know people from 10 countries. I never met any of you in person, but I feel I know a lot about you through your comments, blog posts and voices. I will cherish the memories I have with this blog and your friendship as well.

If you ever felt an itch for my writings, feel free to visit my literary website at STORYTERRA.COM. Thank you and have a great day!

Simon

Daisy & Rose, Part VII

“She is a filial daughter. If something was to happen to her father, she would come home immediately.” The stepmother said.

Daisy’s father suddenly passed away several days after her wedding. The stepmother sent Daisy the bad news and invited her to come home to attend her father’s funeral.  Although she was suspicious of the stepmother’s intention, Daisy could not miss out on seeing her father for the last time.

When the princess consort returned home, she was greeted enthusiastically by her stepmother and stepsister. The two pleaded her to forgive their previous wrongs. Daisy took it as a sincere gesture and forgave them. After the father’s funeral, the stepmother threw a private feast in Daisy’s honor. Little that Daisy knew, she was stepping into a trap set by the wicked stepmother and stepsister. The two put sleeping drugs in her drink which rendered her immobile. They then carried her to the river in the darkness of night and released her body into the water.

The king was pleased with his son’s choice and gave blessing to the pair. The prince and Daisy got married in a dream wedding.

While the people of the land were celebrating the union, the stepmother and her daughter were scheming to separate the two.

“We need to get Daisy back here somehow,” said Rose.

“She is a filial daughter. If something was to happen to her father, she would come home immediately.” The stepmother said.

Daisy & Rose, Part V

After Daisy disclosed to her what happened, she told her to wait for her and left. She came back a half hour later, accompanied by several villagers. These people had observed Daisy since she was little and were dissatisfied with the stepmother’s poor treatment of her. After they heard about Daisy’s current situation from the old woman, they were eager to help her out. In no time, the beans were properly sorted. When one villager saw that Daisy only had old and dirty clothes, he gave her one of his daughter’s dresses.

Daisy washed her body and put on the dress. Everyone was stunned at how beautiful she was. They already knew she was a beauty, but this was many times greater than they had imagined.

When Daisy entered the festival, all eyes were set on her. The stepmother and Rose were absolutely baffled when they saw her — partly because they did not expect her to attend the festival and mostly because of her beauty.

“Who is her?” People whispered to themselves. “Her beauty may even surpass the moon fairy.”

The prince was mesmerized by her beauty and instantly fell in love with her. He boldly came to her and asked her to dance with him. Daisy accepted and the glamorous pair moved to the music.

“You must finish sorting the beans before you could go to the festival.” The wicked woman said. “If I caught you cheating, I will throw both you and your ailing father out of the house!”

After her stepmother and stepsister left for the festival, Daisy broke down and cried. She knew that it would be impossible for her to finish sorting the beans in time to attend the festival. Her cry was heard by a neighbor who came over to check on her.

“My dear Daisy, why are you crying?” The old woman asked.
