A broken girl

chapter 5

It's such a beautiful day... a great day to be out of the hospital thank god, we were driving to Rachel's house, it still surprises me that she has over 15 houses all over the world and over 5 well known companies ,one in fact interested me because it is a designing company. I always admired cloth and I always like drawing and designing. she showed me some sketches after realizing that I like designing, it was magnificent!

Rachel has been a really good person to me for these past 5 days....I had to stay in the hospital because they needed to keep an eye on me and she has been with me day and night all this time. I am honestly surprised that this kind of people exist in this cruel, selfish world.

The driver parked the car in front of this big house. I started doubting if we're still in Somalia, I've never seen such a beautiful house in my life. well of course except in my dreams. "where are we??" I asked. "This is my house" Rachel replied. I was surprised but then I figured she is rich! Its full on white with a perfect garden and there are many different kinds of birds all around the place it seemed like a decoration cause of their different colors.

" Come on in Kalia" Rachel called with a huge smile. I stood in front of this huge door and i just couldn't move my legs, I've never physically been present in such greatness. Rachel opened the door wide open and called out my name again. I still couldn't, I felt like I didn't belong in there. I could see this highly decorated room so beautifully. Rachel noticed that I'm still not in the house. she came out of "heaven" and asked me " Kalia what's wrong??" " I don't know, I just can't get in" . she gave me a small smile and held my hand and said "Kalia this is your home now. She chuckled. "Get used to it" I smiled a real smile for the first time since my mother died.

Finally I set foot in this palace. oh my oh my GOD these shiny lights sparkling clean huge windows, a beautiful huge carpet it's like a dream come true but sadly I'm the only one who made it here. Not my Mom or my sister. Rachel told me to go to the room she set up for me, also told me she has some cloth in there for me. I went up stairs and took a shower. The water was so warm I didn't know taking a shower would be fun, usually I take showers once or twice a month and that was in public so it was really embarrassing and scary cause of all the perverts.

I finished my shower so I went to my room got some flowy pants and a really long shirt. I went downstairs cause Rachel told me that dinner was ready. The table was set so beautifully it was really heaven just missing some important people. There were different kinds of foods, I didn't know what half of them were and the others I just guessed what they are. I can see that Rachel is happy to see me smile. "Kalia I hope you're enjoying your time with me" she said with a smile " of course this is the life I have been dreaming of since I was 5 , I just wish my mum and sister were here you know "

I know Kalia I wish my husband was here with me but I guess cancer doesn't choose bad or good, if you have it you have it" she said

The room went silent for while until the phone rang, Rachel excused herself from the dinner table and left to take the call.
