Kayden's POV
Early in the morning, I rushing to the wharf. Hoping I could get any transportation back to my home town. As I'm waiting, luck doesn't seem coming my way. I walk down to the river looking around if there's another way I could get a transport.
"Hey, young man. Looking for transport?" An old man asking me.
"Yeah. I wish to go back home town." I replied.
"Where is your hometown? I am going to town B." He said.
"I'm from Town B." I told him.
"Well, maybe it's your lucky day. U can hop in. But this boat couldn't go fast. It will take us 10hours to reach Town B." He explained.
I look at his boat. Engine host power is 15Hp motor. But his boat is 40feet long boat. Yeah, that's tell me his speed.
"Is it alright?" I asked.
"Shouldn't be a problem. It just me and my two staff. It's a free ride for u boy." He said.
With my head full of Eve, I nodded & smile back "alright uncle. I'm in."All along my way. Seated next to the motor engine. His two staff skillfully taking water from the river, cleaning the side of the board. They stop some times in a while, cover the goods inside the boat which has been exposed as the weather along the river is windy.
I will be reaching Town B somewhere pass eight night time later. It would be hard to meet up Eve. She has always been staying home at night time and only going out with only family. Means I need to wait until next morning to see her. Damn, Eve!
