"Addy..." Maria shook me by my arm I looked up, her worried eyes scanning me, I smiled, "Sorry... I was just thinking..." I tugged the fringe of my hair behind my ear shrugging, "Are you sure nothing else?" She suspiciously eyed me I nodded,
She occupied herself in the kitchen I sighed if Maria and Dominic hadn't been here then I would have been killed by loneliness here, I haven't seen Azriel for two days, I had last encountered him here in the kitchen after that he is nowhere to be seen and my mind is still there,
His rare laugh that captivating smile... Has stamped in my head and that kiss...! His action his words... Are so hard for me to name but the gentleness I felt around his presence for the first time still resides in me.
I have been zoning out from whatever Maria has been saying to me. "Adira..." Maria called, I turned to her and simpered, "What is bothering you?" Maria sat beside me holding my hand, "Nothing important Maria." I assured her, "If you say so." She slowly nodded her head, "Ok I'm going to buy some groceries from the market I'll come in a few hours," She served me lunch, I sighed watching her leaving figure, I poured a glass of orange juice and dug in,
My mind went back to thinking about the Azriel, where is he...? I thought to ask Dominic, but it would have just given him another reason to mock me.
I was almost done eating as I was about to have the last bite, I stopped chewing, "Mumma... Mumma..." I heard a hushed voice calling, I creased my brows and tilted my head to the side, a young guy looking around overwrought tugging back his coal-black hair that was reaching to his chin, he stopped in his tracks seeing me, I suspiciously eyed him waiting to speak while he seemed nervous,
"Is he gonna just stand there the whole day?"
"Who are you?" "Have you seen my mother?" We both asked at the same time but with different questions,
"Mother? he lost his mother in this penthouse strange..."
"I was looking for my mother she works here," He anxiously articulated, I deepened my frown, "Maria... she works here... Umm, sorry for the disturbance I have been walking in this penthouse aimlessly can you please tell me if you have seen her..." His pale skin turned paler as he scratched the back of his neck,
"Oh, he must be Maria's son."
He looked at me expectedly, "Yeah, she is off to market for buying some groceries she said to me she'll be back in a few hours." I let him know, "Umm, ok." His tensed posture relaxed a bit, he brought the phone from his pocket and turned his back to me, I took the last bite of breakfast and got up for placing the dirty dish into the dishwasher.
"Where are you, Mumma?" I heard him whisper on phone, in response the lady who is surely Maria yelled from the other side of the phone so loud even I can hear, I smiled she is angry, the guy cut the call and turned to face me. "I guess I'm kinda late arrived," He chuckled scratching the back of his neck, I smiled now clearly able to find a resemblance of Maria, his same black lazy eyes, sunken cheeks,
