"Boy, we are here" Aze opened his eyes as the lady patted him on his head. He woke up suddenly. The bus had halted near an old building.
He got down from the bus. He saw the lady walking away with a dim torch light and a heavy bag. It was dark and foggy.
There was nobody around, except the bus driver. Aze went near him.
The driver was busy repairing the front wheel of the bus.
"When is the next bus?" Aze asked
The driver looked at him ."We have just arrived, It will take another 12 hours""Okay, One more thing. Do you know about this place?"-Aze asked the driver
"I have been working in this route for a decade, Sure I know. Where do you want to go?"
The guy asked in a tough tone, implying that he is responsible in and around his work.
"Zennora Thacker Orphan family, Here is the address" Aze showed the address he copied from Mrs.Dhai last night before he left her room. It was not easy to convince Mrs.Dhai to get the information about the orphanage. She also had a little idea about that. Anyhow, After what happened last night, Aze was steadfast about talking and getting the details related to him.The driver's uncle is still looking at the screen.
"Oh, It does says the city of Althea.7th cross. But, the city doesn't hold much of the old structures now...So...."
He handed back the phone to Aze and looked around in search mode.
"Maybe, Go straight to the road and take a left. There you will see a gate named something like this."He concluded the idea pointed to a road
"But, I am not sure though,.. that there lives a family now, You better ask the houses nearby when the sun rises"-The driver told Aze.
Aze thanked the driver walked to the straight road and took a left, as he suggested. But, He was not ready to wait for another daylight.
He walked a few meters. The dark was getting darker. A few dim lights shadowing a little down in the valley were the only source of visible energy around. Even the moon is hidden behind the clouds.Aze lit up his mobile phone to get a better look at a building, left to the road. The gate in front of it was broken, indicating that the place had been abandoned.
To his surprise, he sews something inscribed on the gate wall. He cleared the dust and played his light towards it. It was written "Zennora Thackers Family; A home to homeless "
Aze stood in front of it for a minute or another. His legs had gone numb, eyes had gone blurry. The racing heart was ready to fall into his hands at any moment.Aze took a deep breath before stepping into the compound of the building. He felt a little at ease and walked towards the building.
The double-storied building had gone out of its original structure. The dust of summer and the sprouts of spring had altogether evolved the building into an ecosystem, for the birds and the rats—a home for the homeless.
The briskness of the walk drew his gaze to a large tomb near the building. Though the sight was lost in darkness, he knew in his heart that a tomb and an abandoned building could never bring any good to his search for himself.
