the inn, the brothel, and the star-crossed bridge

the inn is situated next to the town's famous bridge.
the bridge of east wind.
certainly not the most fortunate name.

across the road from the inn is something that is even more famous than the bridge.
the scarlet fairy brothel.

this is certainly not the best place to open your inn.
especially if you are a young, innocent maiden.

but she is not just any young, innocent maiden.
she happens to be the owner of the brothel too.

she is very much respected in this town.
but the brothel is despised in equal measure.

of course there is a reason behind such a strange situation.
but that is not the only strange occurrence there.

he patrons the scarlet fairy every 28th day of the month.
he will spend two to four hours every time.

coming out half drunk, he would walk across to the inn.
and spend the night there. every time.

no one knows who he is. except her.
no one understands his action. not even her.

naturally there is a reason behind his action.
but the greater mystery is the star-crossed fate of these two.

Father

I am reading the book "Wild at Heart". One of the most striking points that the author made was that of how many, if not almost all, men are most severely wounded by their own father. You would have thought that your dad will be the one who believes in you when everyone else is doubting you. You expect him to do so. Coz when he does, you know that it ain't matter even if the rest are against you. So when it turns out that he is siding with those who doubt you. It hurts the most. It kills off your hope. It strips you off your courage and belief to be a real man. Because the man who is suppose to show you how to be a real man, the one whose approval matters the most.. does not side with you. He loves you.. yes. But a father's role is not simply to love and nurture. He is more than just that. He is your assurance, stronghold, strength. He leads you into adventure, he fights with you side by side, he shows you how to rescue a beauty. When your father of flesh and blood ca...
