HAIFA

It’s been two days that we had been stuck in Charles’ so called resting place and there were still no signal.

“Carlos, does your sister have any communication at all?” I asked as I pleaded them to do something

“We could check down the stream if you want to my lady – but I can feel that there are none of it” he answered

“We could still try” I said desperately

The three of us then walked to the stream and this place was perfect, yellowish by the tall grass and sun that made it bright.

 Then a little girl with oldies style of clothes had come running shouting Carlos’ name.

 They had spoken in Italian, which I never understand.

 “This is my niece – Francina” Carlos said

 “Nice to meet you Francina – I am Haifa” I told her

 “Nice to meet you too” she answered, very much impressed that she could speak my language too.

 “You’ve grown so well Francina, you were still a baby the last time I saw you” Mr. Miller said as he hugged Francina.

 “Come, let’s visit my sister – it’s her house” Carlos said as we head on to the house that is made of woods. Perfected by the sound of the stream and the breeze that comes from it.

 Carlos sister had greeted us together with her husband. Until the time that I had asked if there could be any means of communication.

 “I’m sorry darling but we don’t use those things, we only live to the simplest” Carlos sister’s answered

 “It’s fine, Thank You anyways” I answered

 “Well, we could make the most of the time here” I shrugged at Mr. Miller

 “Anything we can do here?” I asked Carlos

 “We can prepare for lunch” Carlos sister suggested

 “Very good idea” Carlos answered

 “Come Haifa, we harvest the things we need” Francina said as I followed her

 “Oh you grow carrots and other stuffs” I said as I looked at their garden.

 “Yes, so as our eggs and chicken and milk and other things” she answered

 “How old are you?” I asked

 “Next month I’ll be 9” she answered

 “Where do you go to school?” I asked

 “My teacher comes here every afternoon to teach me” she said

 “Oh I see” I said as she taught me how to gather everything up.

 “Have you been out of this place?” I asked

 “Yes, we went to Uncle Carlos’ boss place” she said

 “So you met his boss?” I asked

 “Yes, his handsome and pale – my mom said he’s not an ordinary person and my dad said he was our guardian angel” she continued as she fulled her basket with vegetables

 We then head back to the house and went straight to the kitchen where Carlos’ sister Maria, preparing the chicken.

 “Mom, were back” Francina said as she washed the vegetables in to the sink.
