Seeking to be together~

Unraveling Secrets

Roseanne Wren

"Asher, I need to tell you something..." Asher stared at me for a moment and looked back at the couples seated next to the fire.

"Mm, can we talk later...We have guests." I looked around and saw a camper Van and two old couple seated together.

I nodded my head while Asher held my hands and took me towards the couples.

"Rose." He introduced me while they silently nodded scanning me up and down.

"Hi."

"Hi dear, I am Matilda and he is Rob, we were planning to camp here when we saw this young man with the Camera trying to capture the lightning shower across the mountains."

"He looked lost, so we kinda gave him some company." Rob said.

"Um, thank you... I had some head pain and I wanted to get some rest." I said sitting next to Asher as he wrapped a blanket around me.

"We understand, it happens." I smiled gently while Rob kept looking at me.

"You got your shots? The lightning?" I asked looking at Asher expectantly.

"Yes, I got awesome ones, I will show you later." His eyes shined proud.

I smiled nodding my head and looked at the old couple, who were now in some conversations within themselves.

"I have some Meat, why don't we have a barbeque party?" Rob asked looking at us wanting us to join him.

I looked at Asher while he squirmed uncomfortably.

"You must use that for your trip ahead; we can eat at any local restaurant tomorrow." Asher stepped back respectfully not wanting to eat their food which they have stacked up for their trip.

"Oh, come on...We have a lot left and life is so little to postpone anything." He stood from his chair.

"You just had a cup ramen. I am sure you must be hungry..." I looked at him in concern.

"That's it, your girl gave you the permission. You can join him." Asher resigned and stood to help the old man to grill some meat.

I smiled looking at them walking towards the camper van while Matilda looked at me.

"Is your headache ok dear?" Matilda asked Rose.

"Uh, Oh... that's fine now... if I have a good sleep, it vanishes..."

"It could be the symptoms of early-stage migraine too, you should consult with doctors." Matilda suggested.

Rose's heart stung with pain, but she controlled and looked at the kind women before her.

"Sure, I will once I get back." Rose said.

"Once YOU get back? What about him then?" Matilda's sharp question made Rose bite her tongue.

"Err... I might have to return early than intended."

"That means you have a home and people to return to. That's good." Matilda sighed.

"Yes, I have my family. They would be awaiting my return." Rose said looking at Asher now grilling the meat with Rob.

"So, you will be leaving him alone?" Matilda asked Rose as her heart filled with heavy sadness but she knew what was ahead of them.

A lot of things have been changed after the dance at the bridge and his confession.

She needed to think... and with almost 4 months have passed and she experiencing painful headaches is not a good sign.
