Charlotte's POV:
"I miss you too, so much, p'Fa!" I say to myself when she was totally out of my sight. But why didn't I tell her yet that it's me? P'Fa, it me Charlotte, your Nuu!"Cha, you are here! We've been looking for you the whole place. I thought you were going to dance?" Heide told me when they found me on the backyard setting on the bench under the tree. I just give them a pale smile as a response.
"What is the problem, Cha? I know there's something bothering you. You know you can tell us, right?" Marima told me as the set beside me. I took a deep breath before I started talking.
"P'Fa was here before you came!" I told them. I really don't know where to start, but I need to tell them what is bothering me or they're gonna overthink about it, and I don't want them to worry about me.
"You mean Engfa Waraha?" Heide asks in surprised. I nodded, and there was silence for a moment.
"Do you remember the headband in my room? That was from her." I tell them. And I told them the whole story.
"Then, why didn't you tell her that that was you?" Marima asked me. I shocked my head.
"I don't know either. I don't understand myself. When she was here I couldn't speak. She told me that she missed me somuch but she didn't know that it's me." I sigh in frustration of myself.
"Hi Cha! Cheer up. Everything will be okay. She is here for good, and the village is not that big. We never know. Maybe tomorrow, you will meet again and recognize each other." Marima comforted me. They both hugged me.
