In A small colony in Utsira it was a gilded monday morning. Laila went to her father's room to look at her sick father, when she saw her mother sobbing in the bed having a hand laid on her father. Being a mature girl for 17 she knew that her father was dead she loved him alot but she need to be bold and console her mother.
The funeral was on Tuesday itself ; not many of the people go and return from a Island. Laila had console her mother she put up a brave face even though grieving alot. A few days later they recieved a message from her uncle who called them to london the big city.
Saturday day of leaving for london.
Cristine ( laila's mom): you okay honey? You sure about going to london.
Laila: i am okay mother. Its about you... to be okay. And i think going to london is what dad would have liked. And i guess london would be delightful!
Cristine: oh! Honey you are really your father's pet just like him! Wish he did not die *starts to sobb
Laila: mom?
Cristine: let's not waste time we need to get to the port we shouldn't miss our ship.
Laila just wasn't the ship person. She gets sick. So stayed in her deck while her mother explored the ship and brought stuffs which she needed. It was quite odd that her mother recovered much better than she thought. Maybe she was a ship person. But she was okay that her mom recovered.
London port:
It was london port. The city was big and had people moving here and there. Laila got off very fast after her mother who was running towards two men in good black tuxedos. It was uncle ben and uncle richard.
She was their favourite neice, they love her like nothing else. The luggage were carried by servants. She felt new cause in utsira it would be her and her parents who carry the bags. It sure was a posh city she thought.
This was her first vist. Usually her uncles used to vist and bring gifts. They were taken to a mansion which was her uncle's in a carrier. It was wonderful. She went to her room it was big; just for her. She freshened up and wore a very posh dress just like other females in london.
She went down to find her mom getting drunk. With her was someone she didn't know. She thought who would get drunk at 12 in the morning? Even though she was mature to console her mother, she was a bit naive at times.
Cristine: oh there you are!why don't you get yourself a wine from the kitchen counter!
Laila was shocked. Her mother and father never allowed her to drink any of those. And all of a sudden everything changes. She looked at the man and the lady near her mother.
Laila: I am fine mother.
Cristine: oh ,i am sorry. This is Mr.Anderson and this is Lady martha
Laila gave a warm smile.
Cristine: are you sure you don't want wine honey?
Laila: no thanks mom. I am gonna explore the neighborhood. Sorry i can't stay longer.
Mr.anderson: that's no biggy my dear. You explore all you want. You do need some distraction.
Lady martha: oh and you too are invited to the welcome home Cristine party!
Laila smiled as she picked up some fruits and cakes to offer the Neighbors.
Thank you for reading!
