Fall to Rise

Nineteen

The memories of two nights ago with Caleb felt like its just now.

How he kissed me, whispered to my ear. The normal conversation we had between us was romantic itself, the body language.

Then it got ruined by my sleepy eyes.

Caleb let me sleep and left my room after I was well tacked into bed.

So every time he came to mind, I'd blush.

My anticipation was seeing him but this felt wrong and he respected his father, he couldn't break his promise as an obedient son.

At least with this little memories my sore heart was mended from all knots. I had even come to forgive him deep down.

Then the best news came to my notice, Kaffo had proposed I maintain this room as mine not his private suite.

It was the best thing that had ever come from him.

Life was getting better.

"Hello my dear," Nomita came to my room this morning. My few clothing were folded in a neat pile awaiting Nomita's instruction.

But my mind was really far. The shift hadn't crossed my mind even before she had arrived.

"Master says you can occupy this room much longer for private reasons," she seemed apologic and sad about the situation.

"No no its really fine," I said not showing how delighted I was in her presence.

"Are you sure. If you aren't, you can just say it," insisting.

What's with this lady. Couldn't she see I was already to young to crave Kaffo's presence around me, craving him. No way.

Maybe she'd always witnessed little girls throw themselves at him, so she imagined I'd really want that too. But no, she's wrong.

That evening Frayer had come to my room requesting me to go trekking with her around the farm. At least outside of here.

"Come on, you've been indoors long enough," she pleaded.

"But am not complaining," I said knowing I had the mathematics assignment to complete.

"Please just this once. If you don't like it afterwards, I'll not persuade you any more."

"Okay fine,"giving in.

We walked outside. She was right, it was really beautiful watching the sun set. How the birds chirped in the air.

"Let's move to the stables," she opted.

"Oh you lead the way," as we walked. She seemed to be thinking of something else too.

Because I was now used to the talkative Frayer not the one without anything to say in even more than five minutes.

"What is it Frayer?" I asked her catching her off guard.

"Oh nothing nothing," she said seeming dejected and alittle sad.

"Please we tell each other almost everything," I pleaded.

"Promise not to get angry," she said walking ahead of me. "I've been talking to Lue quite longer now...."

"What Lucha Gwandi?" I was shocked.

"Yes, please don't judge me."

"No no go on,"

"We have been talking for awhile now and things had seemed really fine until yesterday, he told me to stop sending him messages."

"What!!! Lue! Thats not the Lue I know," I was also shocked. He always treated women like trophies, not bad mouthing them.

"Yeah,"

"Am sure he has some other reasons but I know he didn't send the message probably well. I'll write to him," I offered to help.

"Ohh really? Your the best," she squealed embracing me in a tight hug. "I owe you."

"You surely do," I laughed.
