(Myla is in the kitchen)
Myla moves closer to the sink so the blood doesn't get everywhere. Myla is standing with blood dripping onto the sink. Someone comes down and sees Myla. Myla thought it was the maid but it turned out to be a man. "Myla!" said a member of the division.
The man went to help Myla. As he got Myla seated the maid came back with the medkit. The maid said, "It's okay I can help ma'am." The man said "I will do it, just go and make sure no one else sees My- that no one sees ma'am. No one comes in, understood." The man heads to the sink and fills a big plastic bowl with water then heads over to Myla.
"Danni, I am f-" tried saying Myla but her face was really hurting that she stopped herself from talking any further. "Myla, don't try to speak."
Drip...drip...a wet towel being squeezed...
Danni wipes Myla's face gently and gets the blood out from her porcelain-like face. A few seconds pass of him clearing the blood then he starts to put medicine on the bruises.
Sound of a medkit being opened and stuff being shuffled around...
After placing the bandages on Myla, Danni beings to clean up and quietly stays by Myla's side. Myla's face stopped dripping blood.
Myla's pain becomes manageable. "Danni, aren't you going to ask about who-... what happened?" asked Myla in a soft tone of voice. "Myla I know who it was...who else would- is allowed to touch you? But it's between the monster and you. All I can do is be here for you. This is all the power I have to help you." said Danni. "Danni, it was me who was wrong not him. I overstep as his wife...no...no as his property. He is my master." said Myla as if trying to remind herself that her life is Ki's.
There was silence for a few seconds...
"Myla, what is your dream?" asked Danni. "To serve-" tried saying Myla. "No, Myla... has your dream changed from when we were kids?" asked Danni. "Oh, Danni always thinking of the past. But yes, it has. It has come true...well, for the most part, it has. How about your dream Danni" asked Myla. "No, it hasn't but I am patient and will always be waiting," said Danni.
Myla quickly got up from her seat and remembered that she had to clean up the mess in the greenhouse. "Danni, thank you...for the help." said Myla in a calming voice with a hint of raspiness. Myla heads to the closet, grabs the broom and a couple of bags, and heads back to the greenhouse.
(Meanwhile back at the greenhouse)
Ki in a furious mood heads back to the special section in the greenhouse and tries to calm himself down. And tries to make sense of what happened. How his sons might think of him, how he is weak, and if they believe the women of the family are the strong ones.
"Does no one respect me?" Ki asked while caring for his special section. As if the flowers and plants would take his side...well maybe a few would, but the roses definitely wouldn't.
My daughters take after their mother thought Ki to himself. "Have I been too nice? Too in lo- no....no, I just need to straighten the girls out. I am at fault here for not finding them someone sooner." said Ki.
(Currently at the greenhouse)
The greenhouse door opens and closes
Myla returns to clean up the mess and to apologize to Ki. Myla enters and goes to the section where the pot broke and where her blood is. Ki is too engrossed in caring for his special section that he fails to notice Myla. In silence, Myla brooms the mess and places the broken pieces in a bag. Next, she starts scrubbing the floor to get rid of the blood stains. Minutes pass as Myla scrubs and takes some breaks because of the pain as she grinds her teeth when using force to scrub.
Ki turns around and leaves his special section. Myla finally finishes and is about to get up but hears Ki coming out. She starts to kneel and waits for Ki to acknowledge her. Ki heads closer to Myla and sees her kneeling he smiles.
"Are you done?" calmingly asks Ki. "Are you done having those thoughts?" angrily questioned Ki. Myla was waiting. "Aren't you going to speak?" asked Ki. In a soft tone of voice Myla says "I was waiting for permission... since I am just here to serve you and to take care of our kids." She is still kneeling down. "Looks like you remembered your place, but I still need to punish you for questioning my choices," said Ki.
Ki heads over and grabs the broomstick and...
