Chapter 4
**** MA’AM ROSE P. O. V ****
I was so bored after Melina left the orphanage and went home. I was missing her a lot. If she were here, we’d be talking and laughing. But I can’t ask a woman to stay here for the rest of her life, because she is a woman.
She wants to start living on her own and starting a family. I just want her to be safe. She is still young and naive.
There are some very bad people in the world, and I really hope she doesn’t fall into their trap. She is just too good to be hurt. “Uncle! Uncle! Right here is Harrison.” The kids said they were happy. And, to be honest, I was happy as well. Dalton has been so helpful to the family in so many ways.
He also lived in an orphanage before some wealthy couples started following him because of how handsome he was.
He and Melina have been friends since they were very young and still are. I’m sure he really likes her. I still don’t know what to say to him. Melina left. She told me that I shouldn’t tell him anything until he came.
He became going to keep away from her for sure. She knew this. So, when she was trying to help him, she didn’t say anything to him, and I felt bad for him. He’s going to hurt himself by listening to it.
“Ma’am Rose.” He said, “Happy,” and I stood up and moved my hands away from him. “Harrison, my son,” I said as I gave him a big hug. “Aunty, what have you ever done?” He asked for it gladly.
“How are you?” I asked him to sit down by making a sign with my hand, and he did so with a big smile on his face. “Great.” I laughed when he replied. “It seems pretty clear. How are you?” I asked, and I gave a smile. “Melina is not here. I even have a wonderful surprise for her.” He said it with joy, and I was able to keep a smile on my face.
“What is that amazing thing?” I requested to ignore his questions. “I just got my first paycheck from the company where I work, the same one I told you about. I was given an apartment for her, so she is leaving the home for orphans to start something new.
I’ll take care of everything.” He said it, and my eyes filled with tears. “You are the best son in the world,” I said through tears, and he ran to me. “What went wrong, Aunty?” He asked out of fear. I told him, “Melina left today.”
He looked at me in shock. “Left for what? We both know that she is too old to be stalked.” He said this while weakly sitting on the ground. “No one was following her.
She left her family and said she wanted to start living her life outside of those limits. She wanted to be on her own.” I said, “Wiping away my tears.” “Aunt, why did you let her move? She knows nothing about the world outside her house.” He said it in a shaky way. “I tried to stop her, but you know how strong-willed Melina can be. Her choice wasn’t terrible either. She can’t live here for the rest of her life.” I said staring at him. “I know. But why didn’t you tell me? I could have thought about this kind of thing ahead of time.” He said it with pain. “Trust me, Harrison, if you had told me about this wonder before, I would have worked harder to make sure she stayed here until today,” I said with sadness.
“Shit! Did she tell you anything about where she might be?” He asked, and I turned my head away. “In no way at all, Harrison. She knows nothing at all.” I told him, and he put his head in his hands and cried.
“I’m so sorry, son,” I told him as I held him up by the shoulders. “I’ll try to find her and find her Aunt.” He began looking at me. “Son, I will help you. Help her stay safe from the bad people out there.” I told him, and he got up. “I’m free to leave now.” He said that as he walked out of my office, he looked like he had dropped some food, which was something he always did when he came to see me. “God bless you, my child,” I told him as he left the compound. He nodded.
**** MELINA P. O. V ***
“Take off your clothes, and I’ll get the tub ready for you.” She said as she walked into the room through a door. There’s the toilet. I looked around to make sure no one was looking at me before I started to take off my clothes. My shirt and pants fell off in less than a minute.Text property © Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org.
Then I remembered that I’d left my bag of clothes in the pigeon shop. What should I wear now? “I’ve had enough. Welcome.” I heard what the girl said, so I went to the door without clothes on. When the door was open, I walked in.
The girl was kneeling next to a very beautiful bathtub. It was also made in the color Green. “Why is green showing up everywhere?” I asked to get into the tub on foot.
“Master loves Green. He likes it best.” She answered with a smile. I was sitting in the tub when I saw the girl was still smiling at me. I felt like I had to smile again. “What’s the matter?” I asked for. “Agnes.” She answered with a smile. “You look beautiful, too. Don’t be afraid to smile.” I told them, and they laughed. “What’s your number?” She asked that a foam be made. “Melina,” I responded.
“A beautiful call for a beautiful girl.” She said it, and we all laughed. “You are nice. How did you get right here?” I asked, and she sighed and reached for my hand, where she started to clean it with foam.
“My lack of care. I got ice cream at a market that was miles away from here. One day, Master moved away, and I went after my brother. I was eating an ice cream. We have been so happy. ”
