Chapter 15: Privilege

"If you have someone, to whom you could grief upon, cry out and empty your sorrows, then my friend you were among the privileged ones"

------------

Noworry questioned himself.

"Neeh…."

Severus took a pause and said in a little bit of a raspy tone," It's not about crying. Look closely"

Noworry frowned. No matter from which way he thought he couldn't understand what Severus wanted him to see or understand

[Look what? I can only see a mother-son pair. Nothing else]

"Yeah, they are mother and son pair"

[So….] Noworry asked in annoyance.

"You see. The child who is sobbing so hard?"

Noworry [...]

[Of course, I can see!!!!!!]

"Why do you think he is sobbing so hard? Is it because he got injured?"

Noworry bent his head this time he took a good time analyzing both of them.

[You see that child has injuries so maybe he is feeling pain. After all when you are in pain you

cry] Noworry replied swiftly.

Severus' expressions got heavy and his eyelids drooped.

He smiled sadly.

Severus asked in glum, "Really? Do we cry when we are in pain?"

[Small children can't bear the pain so they tend to cry when the pain hits them.]

Severus heard what Noworry said but he didn't look at him. His eyes never left the son and mother pair.

"You see Nowory that child stopped crying"

[Mmmm]

"Why do you think he stopped crying?"

[Maybe now he isn't feeling the pain or the pain may have been relieved a few degrees]

"You think so?"

[Yeah!]

Noworry replied in hesitation.

"You still a bird Noworry. It doesn't matter if you could read the human emotions the truth is you can't feel them", Severus replied sorrowfully.

Noworry [....]

[What do you mean kid?]

"That child over there was not crying so hard because of pain"

[Huhh. What do you mean? He wasn't crying because of pain than what was he crying for?] Noworry asked stupidly.

"Privilege"

[Privilege. What privilege? Are you out of your mind?]

"Neeh...that child was privileged"

"He is privileged to cry,

Privileged to hold his mother,

Privileged to get comforted"

Noworry was silent. He never knew that Severus could become so emotional.

"You see, a person only cries if there is someone to console them. If there is someone to hold you, Comfort you"

"That child sobbed so hard because he was in his mother's embrace. He could feel the protectiveness and her love. He knew that he could grief out to her. He could cry on her shoulder, so he did. But when she left, he knew that there would be no one to comfort him. There will be no one who will listen to his sorrows so at that time he only sniffled. No matter how much pain he felt, he didn't even let a tear to fall down"
