When Fate Play It's Game!

Chapter 11

-Chapter 11-

                The days had come and go and it’s almost half the summer. I was alone in the house because Grand Ma went to the market, she used to go there and check out her store. Holding the water hose along the row of some roses, I watered them gently. I’m planning to sketch something after this.

                Yeah, that’s what I actually do aside from being a gardener now, sketching things that I couldn’t express through words.

                “You have a beautiful garden, here!” , I was stopped of what I was doing when I heard that. I turned to glance over the direction of the voice and my jaw dropped to see an unfamiliar guy standing almost a meter or two away from me. He was actually inside Grand Ma’s yard. He had trespassed. I don’t know him and I don’t remember Grand Ma told me about anybody.

                My heart starts to beat in panic. What if he’s a thief, a serial killer, a kidnapper, maybe he knows that I’m a daughter a famous fashion designer. What if he’s here to kidnap me, without anyone knowing? Oh my god!! What am I going to do now? I’m all alone at this house, and my neighbors won’t even bother to help me, well they hated me so much for being UNFRIENDLY and UNSOCIALIZED. I step back pointing the water hose to him as I swallowed a big lump that was forming in my throat.

                “W…Who are you?” , I asked, my voice is shaky and fright is evident in my tone. He didn’t answer my question, instead, he take a step forward. Each step he made equals the step I took backward.

                “Stop right there, or –”, I paused as I don’t know what to say anymore. I searched words to say but the words are gone because of my nervousness. He smirked at me placing both his hands his pocket.

                Oh my god!!! Maybe this guy is a rapist, god I’m all alone here. I don’t even have karate skills to fight back all I have is this water hose. What am I going to do now? God please help me. I promised to be a good servant of yours if you’ll help me get out of here.

                He looked at me and takes another step. I also did take another step backward and end up hitting the fence.

                ‘Uh-oh! Dead end!!’ , I thought to myself. Then he continued to make another step. He’s really scarring me to death. With all the strength I still had I spoke:

                “Don’t you dare make another step, or I will flash this water into your face!” , I demanded bravely, fear is evident in the tone though. He just smirked and takes another step forward.

                That’s it! That’s the sign. I pressed the hose gently and the water flashes onto his face and I saw him struggling in the water.

                “Stop it!” , he ordered continuously but I didn’t listen. He’s a rapist, a kidnaper or whatever he is. I have to protect myself. This is just a form of self-defense and I won’t be sent to jail because of what I did.

                “Oh my god! What’s happening here?” , I heard a familiar voice which made me stop. I glanced at the direction of the voice and I sighed in relief. It’s Grand Ma, I’m safe now.

“Oh thank god you’re now here, Grand Ma!” , I utter as I ran towards Grand Ma, “This guy here, his a serial killer, a rapist, a kidnapper!” , I continued as fast as I could not pausing on each word.

                I saw in my peripheral vision that the guy dropped his jaw but I didn’t mind him instead I just rolled my eyes.

                “We should call the police now, Grand Ma!” , Grand Ma looked at me and that guy and then they both burst out laughing. I looked at them completely confused.
