Travelling for five hours on plain road, along the plains, throughout the night finally, at sunrise, the black car drove over the hill, crossing down, it arrived into a big city.
The time current was at the beginning of the day, everyone was on the start for the new sun shine. The shops were opening for breakfast with groceries. Buses were approaching to pick up their sleepy head students from their homes and bus stops. Men and fathers were off to offices into their cars. Milk men were on their daily ride for delivering fresh creamy milks.
Seeking out of the window of her car, Loathefiya watched in amazement the wide city with crowded people coming out from big houses and tall buildings. For the first time in her life she saw different type of peoples walking around the streets in different directions.
Back there when she was thrown into street, all she tried was to avoid people getting herself in their sight. She wasn’t able to
Right when the moment was clear to make his move Kayle veiled to Aerial saying, “Go get her. We shall leave this evening. Don’t let him get his eyes on you” He sounded worried even though he was speaking in calmness. He wanted his surrounding to notice him filled in anxiousness which was why he spoke little.On the other hand, Aerial noticed him. She was his life partner and was acknowledged about his acts move than anyone or even himself. She knew he was growing worried by was hiding it from her. Men fight their own battles without any needs no matter the sides whether it it the world outside them or the emotions inside them.She knew this knew her part which was why she only nodded in silence and went out of the table in search of the little orphan girl.As she left he turned at the customer who was busy picking up his list among the stuffs those were arranged on the table. Standing like a calm statue he said inwards,&ld
Once Aerial and Loathefiya arrived at the stall, kayle was busy with another crowd of customers, trading in buying, and selling. In silences, both entered the car from the back. Inside the car, Aerial sat up the little girl on her lap and stared at her in a gentle smile. “What’s wrong, mama?” asked Loathefiya as she was puzzled about the lady’s expression. None did the child understand what was the main concept of this gentle smile. Was it happiness or a sad one? Every smile has a story behind it and every story has a silence to start with. But, instead of replying to her, Aerial hugged her gently around herself replying in tears, “Nothing my dear………it’s just nothing.” Departure was really difficult for this elegant woman. As the time ran and the clock ticked, in great patience the two ladies stayed inside the car, from the sunrise till the top of the day, Lady Aerial just held on to the little girl as sor
[Sometimes it is not easy to parent when it comes to adaptation. There are many dreams when we choose to carry one for ourselves but at the same time, there are always side stories to be solved with the child who is going to be carried into the new family. It can be an inheritance or a back story to be raveled to the child. The worst ones are those who carry a dark and dangers in their paths when they are about to be raised till teenagers. Every steps and word are a test for the parents to see whether they really are a good choice or suited to be for the child. The child’s cold hearts, dead wishes, and lost dreams plus wounds of their pasts all are printed well in their white sheet of life which keeps displaying in their daily lives without letting them peace of mind and the one who adopts the child has to erase the paper and draw a new picture for him and her.But, the question remains whether they CAN really successo
“Mama….” woke up Loathefiya murmuring on the arms of the lady.“Oh! You are awake….” surprised Aerial as she made her sit on her lap, “Did you sleep well my dear?” she asked in a smile.The little girl was half sleepy, barely opened her eyes as she was trying to break her sleep. “You can sleep more if you want…” suggested Aerial.Loathefiya shocked her head disagreeing and began to rub her eyes with her little soft palms. The lady smiled in pleasure upon looking at her as the child sat up straight and gazed outside the window of the moving car.It was sunset. The sky was painted with orange glitter glowing with the fading yellow sky of the sun that was nowhere to be seen on the heads due to the tall houses and apartments addition to that, our bright day started, the sun, was till flashing its warm light as it was leaving for the day to call its e
As nightfall, the black car was riding once again on the road heading towards the other exit of the city. Before they carried out, Kayle once again brought some food for the travel from a nearby hotel. Hot sandwiches, burgers with creamy fruit chat plus some juice to drink.Once they were off to the road, the family began to eat. Aerial divided all the meals among her family and began to eat herself too. Loathefiya had her own sandwich which was half divided by mam in case her sandwich won’t fall apart.The little girl watched the two adults as both were watching front. Kayle was having his own sandwich on his right hand while with the left he was driving, and Aerial was eating her own in silence. The little girl stared at her sandwich and took a bit. A soft creamy texture melted in her mouth as it pour warm moisture feeling into her heart, she left to cry however she held on to her tears and quietly continued eating. She turned away t
At the next sunrise, from the east the long golden light stretched wide over the far-off lands follower by point zero where the light lifted and raised the of the sun, taking over the night sky from its golden light. Just as the sunrise Loathefiya woke up from her night sleep. Since it was her childhood habit heir by her parents to wake up directly from the morning sunlight, she sat up looking around in surprise to find herself still in a running car.The young man was still driving while the lady was sitting in silence, as her sight got caught on the little girl, a gentle smile bright shone on her face saying,“Oh! You are awake, I didn’t notice…”From the other side, Kayle took a glimpse at them and turned straight. Aerial carried Loathefiya, making her sit up straight on her lap, since they were in a moving car washing up the child’s face was impossible hence the lady used her shawl that she always wore around her
Within the morning daybreak, heads of tall houses, flat markets, and tall trees were finally coming to view, Loathefiya was also among the viewers as the car was approaching into the entire she turned to Aerial and hugged her in excitement saying by looking up,“We are almost there mama! We are almost there!”“Yes, we are dear” smiled the lady in return.By traveling along with the two trading couples, Loathefiya began to understand when and how are they leaving, when a new place is approaching and where they are planning to stop.Though she didn’t know the place names or times she did learn how a new place would welcome them.Upon arriving into the town by entering the entire gate which is a sign of every town to enter, the roads were welcomed by opposite sides full of cosmoses, fresh green bushes glittering with new dews of water and jasmines bloomed at the star
RING! RING! A reception bell rang. Standing outside the gate office window, at the left side of the huge gate, Kayle and Aerial stood here waiting in front of the empty office. As the man waited to tap his finger on the desk, Aerial’s dress got pulled. She gazed down and saw Loathefiya asking, “Why are we standing here, mama?” “We are waiting for my dear” answered Aerial “come” she lifted the little girl on her arms saying that it could take longer for them to stand thus she suggested she sit on her arms. The moment she carried her up, Loathefiya direct lay on her shoulder feeling the warm hug on herself from the so-called mama which made her feel relief. After a few minutes, a male staff stepped into the room from the back door, when his eyes caught on the arrival people he turned fuss as he paced towards his desk complaining, “Here comes another hopeless parent who can’t afford the merciful titled
“It’s sad to see you go through all that...” Beth said, breaking the silence.The boy gazed back at her and nodded with a light smile.****Not everyone can feel each other’s pain.Only those who are, who have, and who have faced the same fate will understand the agony and try to resolve with them.That can be either in an irking way or a graceful way.****“But, they are an end to my sorrow,” he continued, taking the two’s attention, “After years of struggling in the dirt, surviving to eating and drinking I was finally rescued by someone.He took me into his house, cleaned me up, and offered the best he could.At first, I thought he was a pity for me and felt discomfort from him. I hate to gain mercy and pity from people around me because of my arms.But, I was wrong, he did not do all that for piety but he took me like his firm duty to be performed and did not care about any comment from me.It took me some time to adjust with him like I would scream at him or shout at him not to tou
They could not tolerate my condition. They wanted everything to be done fast and perfectly on time.I commit a lot of mistakes in their eyes. During training, I would try my best not to drop the object that had been given to me to use, or keep a strong hold on the staff while their eagle eyes would be locked at me….I could feel the vibes of the stare filled with rage, irritation, and frustration.Trying everything perfect was their first rule and I was the first one to fail it. Even if I dropped it, they would cure me and leave me alone.If I couldn’t do it or shout in agony, they would all call me useless.As I was growing, resulting in everything in failure, they decided to go through medical checks for once… but that was enough to ruin my life and turn my days into hell. When I was checked and asked for better treatment for my arms, the doctors approved no recovery and I would be like this my entire life.This was the greatest hopelessness I felt and it was the reason that I got
“There is no need for you two to speak your names. I do not wish to get to know your identities or to be shared. We shall soon depart from each other so it’s better we stay strangers.” suggested Glenn with a smile. “But, you are too friendly to be a stranger.” said Beth her true feelings, “we cannot take it this way...” The boy named Glenn chuckled and said, “Do it for me. It will be alright. And for the questions….” he sat straight answering, “your first question..what do you want? I want nothing from you two. I got along with te officer requesting him to save you two. I wanted to save you two from the hell of the street. It seems necessary cause the world does not see girls as humans anymore. They chase them like wolves. Anything would be possible against you two because you are girls The biggest example is that man who was about to kidnap you.” he was aiming at Beneatha whose eyes were dull in fear. Her sister gazed at her and asked the boy, “Are we that bad? To be a girl
"No worries" shook the boy his head as he stood up, suggesting in front of teh two sisters, "How about we wait in the restaurant for the officer to retrieve us, what do you think?" ""THE POLICEMAN! startled both sisters when Beth asked in terror, "Will he arrest us too?" "No.np. Don't worry. He still has some work to do regarding you two. ence, we should wait for him.: he cleared her and looked around, "How about we take a seat somewhere and wait until he arrives?" Both girls gazed at him when Beth again asked, "What if he can't find us? He is here for us as you told us. Will he be lost like the two of us?" The boy was surprised by this when he replied gently smiling, "No, he won't be. He knows us well. Ans to make teh matter clear he asked me to wait for him in any nearby restaurant along with you two until he is back.He has arranged the place. Come one. Let's get going shall we?" he presented his hand. Both looked at each other in worry. Without any words exchanged, both agr
“Why are you two wandering in this wide world alone?Preparing to be a feast for someone else or are you trying to act brave which does not suit you…”Smirked the man.“That doesn’t concern you…” replied the aggressive girl which he didn’t know was making a mistake.“OH! It does, concerns me, my little girl.” Smirked the stranger, “I have to make sure you did not run off on your own.It’s dangerous to be allowed outside at night you.”This terrified the two girls.Beneatha held on to her sister making herself a defense wall between her sister and the man.The stranger stepped out of the shadows with a rope in his hand.He paced towards them as he increased his steps.His ugly face was twisted into an evil smile as he got closer to the two girls.Beth lost the feelings on her feet, turning solid on her ground due to fear.She started shivering getting her eyes locked at the approaching man.Immediately, upon realizing this, Beneatha pushed her back on the girl, trying to make her run w
There is a saying that goes: {Our parents leave us early, and our guardians and spouse respond to us late but, our siblings are the only ones who stay by our side.} A statement similar to this one was displayed for the two sisters. Even though their mother had left them and gone somewhere, these two sisters were the wall and roofs remaining for each other. Thou, both were arguing among themselves however, tears, a symbol of flowing sadness, cooled down their rage of ignorance among them. As a result, making them stay as a shadow of each other. As Beneatha went on weeping, Beneatha grew surprised and said inwards, “I…. I did not know that even my brave sister could cry like that….” Her shoulders drowned as she continued, “I know she was always the bravest and the kind-hearted one to us, especially to me… She would always encourage me when I felt failure, and stay by my side to heal my wounds. She was always there to clear up my tears if someone hurt me and would always smile f
“Where do you think she must have gone?” asked Beth as she held onto her sister’s palm. “We just need to walk straight ahead. Perhaps, she might be nearby somewhere…” answered Beneatha with a smile at her sister. Her voice sounded cheering as she paced in front of her with back toward the girl. In reality, her expression was turning pale. She was shivering with every step as her heartbeat was pumping twice. Due to sped beat, she sweated buckets all over her structure. Her hand was slipping yet, she tighten her grip on her sister. She said inwards, “I need to stay calm. If I panicked, my sister would turn crazy from fear. We are both in trouble. We both are scared but, for my sister, I need to stay strong..” Under the night, in a quiet street, where the yellow street light glowed the road, the two little girls paced side by side, holding hands as their tiny feet carried them into nowhere. Fear conquered them. Hopelessness drew an endless path for their search. Worries made th
MAMA!!! MAMA! This is the word that is always running through our tongues when whenever fear captures us and we are unable to understand how to react. This word is especially running on children’s tongues. For Beth, she was nonstop whispering this word, as she kept weeping. Behind her, Beneatha could only watch her helplessness. A man asked the policeman, “Can’t we do something?”. The officer just stared as he stood in dumb. No clue as to what he should answer. Everyone could only stare at the girl, who was locked to the street light’s pole. If they tried to move her slightly, she would scream like a monster, arguing to let her go. If they tried to explain to her, she won’t listen. Not to mention, she also refused to hear her sister Everyone was puzzled on their own. Some thought of helping, finding some ideas while others simply watched. Though, it may seem that it’s not their business however a natural ratio was erupting here that was not to ignore a helpless child. Pe
“We shall take these two girls in our custody and wait for a while until someone arrives asking for these girls.” Suggested the policeman. He looked down at them with a gentle smile. But, the girls did not trust him as they grew panicked, They did understand everything that the surroundings were talking about which made them realize that someone was going to take them. When the policeman presented his hand requesting to come along. This stunned both the girls. He said, “Come with me to the police station. You shouldn’t stay here. It will get colder tonight. You two might catch a cold. Come to the police station.” “WHAT?! NO!” exclaimed Beth, “WHERE ARE YOU TRYING TO TAKE US?” “Do not be afraid.” Calmed the policeman girl, using as much low voice as he can, “We can care for you two until some…...” “NO!” argued the child with him, “WE ARE NOT LONELY! WE HAVE EACH OTHER! NO NEED TO TALK TO US OR TAKE US ANYWHERE! LEAVE US ALONE!” she yelled at him at the top of her voice. “Be
