My heart skipped a bit when I raised my head and saw her looking at us like we were caught in an act, at first I thought maybe she heard our conversation, but then at a point she kept staring at us I felt like putting my fingers into her eyes
'Good day' I heard Ella greet so I decided to follow suit
'Good day' after we greeted she walked in like she was expecting us to give her a royal welcome before she walks in.
As she finally got inside, She looked left and right with a facial expressions that keeps you thinking or looking for the poop in the center of the room,
After she eye scanned the room, without saying a word she turned and left
When I was sure she has gone far, I walked to where Ella was
'Who is she' I asked
'Oh that's miss Miler, she is the Lord's wife's Assistant' she explained
'If she is, why didn't she travel with them' I asked piping through the door to ensure she is not truly there.
'She doesn't travel with them, she stays here to make sure everything goes well' she explained and I nodded.
Then something came into mind,
'Ella,Is there a way I can contact our families' I asked her, hoping to hear something positive
'No' she said,
I felt this ache in my chest, how I wish I could hear from my mum, we didn't part in a right way, she was broken
I can still see the pain in her eyes, she felt betrayed, like she let me down, I wish I could tell her am fine,
and for my father, I don't know if I will ever forgive him for what he has done.
Tears rolled down my eye, seeing this Ella came to stand into of me,
Like she knew what I was thinking, no, my expression tells it all, she placed her two hands at each side of my shoulder,
'Anthea, it's ok, you really need to stop doing this to yourself, I know you miss your mum and am sure she those also, I know the both of you didn't part in a right way, but there is nothing you can do about it, if you think of escaping the truth is that you can't because here is heavily guarded and let's say you successfully do escape from here, but then where will you go, when you were coming here you where not awake, so how do you want to find your way home so Anthea, Anthea hey look at me' she said, gently turning my face to look at her.
"You got me, I don't know why I feel so at easy around you since I saw you yesterday, but then you can take me as anything your friend or roommate, but know this everything will be fine' she assured me.
I look at her as thou she could read my thoughts
'But am sure I will ever forgive my father' I told her
'Am not telling you to, he doesn't deserve it so stop deating yourself up for his mistakes ok' she said and I nodded my head , she the looked around to check the place
'I think we are true for today, let's go back to the quarter " She said, then we headed back to the quarter.
while we were walking she turned and looked at me
'What is it' I asked her
'Nothing' she said smiling, all I know is that what ever she's got in that head of hers sso definitely funny.
' I know you want to ask me something so spill it's said urging her to say what ever was in her head.
'Okay, I've been mean to ask you if you have a boyfriend' she said and I laughed
'No I don't' I answer
'Are you serious' she asked surprised.
'Yes I am serious' I answered with a chuckle because of how surprise she looked.
'Y, haven't you fallen in love ' she asked looking more interested in the conversation than she was before
'I haven't but I had a crush on someone in mid high school but since he didn't notice me, I gave it up and continued with my daily life' I replied
'Oh I see' that was the only thing she could say
'But then guys did ask me to be there girlfriend but I didn't like them and secondly am not kind of ready for any romantic relationship, so wala welcome to my world' I said raising my hand dramatically and we both laughed forgetting our sorrow at least we enjoyed each other's company. I never thought I could get this close to anyone except from Bella but here I am gisting and laughing with someone I just met yesterday
I thought admiration as I also continued laughed as the cool evening breeze made us rub our hands.
'Hey Ella' we heard someone call out and we both turned
