When DESTINY connects........

Ch 11: ALEXANDRIA CLARKE

        "Alexandria!" , we both exclaimed. Both of your voices had more of shock than amusement.
        "Mr Stewart. Are you sure it's Alexandria?", Susan asked.
"Yes. Miss Rhodes. Didn't Mr Aaron mention it to you? ", He said.
"No. He did not. "
"Mr Clarke? ", He questioned.
"I myself did not have a hint of this. Why will I like to Susan? ", He cried.
"I believe you I don't worry ", she assured.
"How old were you when Alexandria came here?" , mr Stewart asked.
"I was eight years old and my brother Sean was six years old. I just knew that she was adopted. That's it ", he said.

"Oh then your mother and father did hide the truth then ", Mr Stewart said.
"I confront them on it ," I don't said.
"No!... ", Alexandria ordered behind them.
"Alexandria ", Susan cried and hugged her.

"It's the best for me to leave you on 2 to talk ", Mr Stewart said.
"Bye guys ", Jason said and left.

"I have missed you on every minute dear ", Susan sobbed.
"Then why didn't you find me? ", She asked.
"Of course I did sweetie ", Susan said.
"No you did not ", Alexandria screamed.

"I think we should go somewhere else to talk", Aaron suggested.
They then left the hall area and went to the lawn to have a chat.
"Tell me Alexandria. What made you so upset.", Susan said.

ALEXANDRIA FLASHBACK:
"Susan! Susan where are you?", Alexandria went to search Susan but she was gone. She had been to school as she was now old enough to join the first grade.

I then went to the garden area of the orphanage to play and after a while I went to the church.

There was this stranger there; tall and fair and had dark black hair and quite looked like a businessman to me or someone who was a regular at work.

"Uncle are you here to pray too?"
"Yes dear, I came here to pray for you", he said.
"For me? Why me? You dont know me", I said.
"But I know you. Isnt your name Stella?"
"Yes it is . How do you know?"
"Because I have a chocolate by your name."

He then gave me the chocolate after which I dont remember anything.

END OF FLASHBACK....

"What? Did you become unconcious? And yes your name was Stella. How come it became Alexandria.", Susan asked.
"Thats my identity at the Clarkes", she said.
"Means? You knew you did not belong here?", Susan asked.
"I came to know it when I was 8 years old."
"But who was that man who gave you the chocolate? Mr. Stewart?", Aaron asked.
"No. Mr. Stewart is the one to save my life.", she said.

"Your life ? From whom? From the man at the church? Who gave you the chocolate?", Susan asked with a lot of concern .
"Yes . He had kidnapped me and was going to raise me to sell me at a Brothel later."
"Oh fuck... Then how did you escape."
" I was 5 when I ran out of his reach when he had taken me once for grocery at the market, where I met Mr . Stewart."

"Hang on! You said you were 5 when this happend. But you were 4 when they brought you here isnt it?.", Aaron asked.

"No. I was 6 when I came here and I did hide my real age from you'll ", she said.
"So how old are you now?", Susan asked.
"Im 18 now along with Sean.", Alexandria said.
"Oh! But why did you hide your true age?"
"Mother had told me to do so ,so that no one would question me about my flashback.", Alexandria said.
"Mother knew about this all?", Aaron asked shocked about it.
"Now will you change your name to Stella again?", Susan asked.
"No ! Im given this best life by Mr. And Mrs. Clarke. So I will keep Alexandria as my identity.", she said.
"Oh nice.... Anyway Alls well that ends well.", Susan said.
"I found my sister Aaron", Alexandria said.
"Oh yes you have.", he smiled at her.

"Come Susan...ill lead you to your room.", Aaron said.
It is almost going to be the 20th of june just 5 mins more.
Aaron went to the room with Susan.

"Its been a Stressful day isnt it?" , he asked.
"Yes it has been... But im happy."
"So are you ready now?", he asked.

The Clock struck 12 and Aaron whispered into her ear...
"Happiest birthday my dear Susan. I love you.", he said.
He hugged her and the others came into the room to wish her.
Later all had returned to their rooms.... He took her close and spoke to her.

"Your birthday has just begun baby. There is lots more to come in the entire day."

Her kissed her goodnight and left.
