When the lady finished attending to Maria and have asked her some basic questions regarding how she's feeling, she left but not without providing Maria what she needs until she comes back.
'what happened to the Master and how's he connected with Edward James? Ha, I need answers' Maria thought.
"You have to eat up to enable you regain your strength" the lady said as she entered and noticed Maria wasn't eating.
"Who are you and how did I end up here?" Maria asked the lady again.
"Look am not an enemy, i will tell you everything you need to know but first you have to eat up, your flight is in two hours" the lady said but Maria made attempt to fight her but the lady skillfully moved away which made Maria irritated.
"Stop will you!_ okay fine, the master asked me to take care of you and also send you back, am Dew from the northern Island but I was once the masters student" the lady who identified herself as Dew said to her.
"How am I not sure you're one of those who attacked the elderly Monk" Maria said not convinced but Dew scoffed at her.
"Ha, I should have brought you to your doom then_ now eat up else you gonna have your meds on empty stomach" Dew told her unapologetically but Maria rolled her eyes at her before taking her seat to eat.
.....
"You don't seem to like me why?" Maria asked as Dew drove them to the airport.
" If we're to cross part again, let's talk about that_ unforgiveness keeps one in bondage, let go and see the light ahead. If you keep zooming out you might as well zoom into the world beyond someday" Dew said to her in sarcasm.
"Thank you, hope to see you soon" Maria said to her after checking in
"You should get going" Dew said dismissively but Maria took her unaware by hugging her
"Hey! stop I don't do girls, stop being the dramatic cry baby now shuu shuu" Dew shuu her away before getting back in her car.
Unknown to Maria who has gotten on board and made herself comfortable, Dew drove out of the airport lost in thoughts drove back to the mountains which took her two hours and half.
"How's the master doing" Dew asked the attending physician responsible for the Monk.
"He's out of danger Ms Dew" the physician replied and continued with his work.
She went back to her room which was were she nursed Maria for a month after the attack, this Maria was unaware of.
If she had told Maria she had been unconscious for a month she would have requested her to see the Monk master who risked his life.
Dew sat down on the bed which Maria had laid hugging the pillow tightly just as she was tempted to hug her back at the airport few hours ago.
Few drop of tears escaped her eyes but she sniffed it back, adjusting her emotions to the normal cold expression.
"Miss miss" someone called out to Maria who starred in her sleep
"Miss it's time to get off the plane" she heard the voice and she opened her eyes to see one of the crew members smiling politely at her.
"Oh, yeah and thank you" Maria said to her then grabbed her hand logage.
Once inside the taxi she found her thoughts drifting back to her encounter with Dew, though they both didn't have a normal chit chat, Maria felt they have a connection some how.
'What really happened to the Monk master? Why do I feel there's more to our story Dew?" Maria thought within herself.
