Tangled Ties

Chapter 11: Maybe they still love me

(Flashback:

Luna and Abigail were having food. Then they heard the main gate opening.)

Abigail kept the pizza down and gave me a confused look. I did the same. The house was vacant since a year. Who might have come in? What if mama papa and Ellie came?

I got up as soon as this thought crossed my mind. Before I could react, the front door opened. Abigail and I shifted our gaze to the door. My eyes were waiting to see Ellie and my heart was hoping for Ellie to come in.

The eyes which were waiting for Ellie so desperately got disappointed when three strangers came in with big suitcases rolling behind them. Abigail's hopeful eyes turned into pitiful ones.

"This house is huge." One of the girls said in excitement.

"True!" The other girl replied.

"Damn! The interiors are beautiful." Another girl added.

"How is it?" A man came in and asked the girls. That man! The same man from a year ago when Rose and David left the house.

"It's hard to believe this house was left vacant from a year." A girl replied, looking around the house.

"Why did no one rent it?" She added.

"The owners were not ready to rent it after the first tenants left." That man replied.

"Why?" One of the girls asked.

"No idea. We just follow their orders. Now, after a year they again want to rent it. That is why I informed you guys." That man explained.

The house owners meant my parents. That meant that man knew my parents and were in contact with them.

"All okay?" Abigail came beside me and asked me.

"Can't we ask him about my parents?" I asked.

Abigail kept quiet and I got my answers.

"We have to clean the entire house." One of the girls frowned.

Clean the house? why? It's all clean. I don't see any dust here!

"It's just clean for us." Abigail said, maybe she was reading my mind.

"We will go and see the entire house." One of the girls said and everyone nodded.

With that they kept their suitcases in one of the corners and went inside the kitchen. Abigail and I were watching them sitting in the chair. I was not happy at all but I couldn't do anything. Those girls were excited. They seemed like college students. After checking out the kitchen they went to the backyard.

"Its huge." One of the girls shouted, getting on my nerves. The other one got on the swing. Hell no! How dare she touch my thing?

"Luna, calm down." Abigail patted my back.

"I don't like people using my things." I was angry.

"They paid rent to live here. Please understand." She explained.

"Now let's check out the rooms." The girl on the swing said and ran upstairs. That girl was too loud and irritating.

"Sama, wait we are coming." Two girls said and ran behind her. And that man followed them.

"This room looks so royal." That loud and irritating sound reached my ears. I knew she referred to my parent's room. I was afraid she would mess with the interiors.

"Let's go upstairs." I turned to Abigail and she agreed.

We frowned and went upstairs. The girl named Sama and one of the other girls was lying on my parent's bed with their slippers on. They were already getting on my nerves. Whereas the other girl was silently talking with the man.
