Nara

Chapiter 3

Two days have passes on the new orphanage. It was actually preety awesome. I was happy. They made it really easy to me to be friends with them and feel comfortable around them. But those words of Alex. They were still im my mind.

"A normal person isn't strong, expecially when he's alone. There are a lot of lonly people and that's why they build orphanages. So then people can't feel lonely anymore. So then we can laugh, cry , fight and then still live together. Its a place you can call home.
Of course we are afraid. We are afraid of losing a friend, but when we are together we have nothing to be afraid of, we will stand up and fight ....., because we are not alone. An orphanage is determined not by its visage but by harmony of people living there. Everyone is here because we help one another to survive. Everyone who lays a hand on our friends is our enemy, and we will fight for our friends even if we are afraid. Being afraid isn't evil. It tells us what our weaknes is, and once we know our weaknes we will become stronger and gentle. We are who we are. We will never give up for our friends and our home. That is what we fight for. Thats what an orphanage is. Thats the meaning of friends."

those words. I wanted to have a clear mind and the only person i could ask was the supervisor.

I saw him sitting on a chair and than I went there and sat next to him.
"Oh, Nara how have you been doing?" he said to me gently.
" Very Good. Thankyou so much for everything." I said to him. But I would like to ask you something. "How do you feel about supervising just some kids?"i said as I looked down.

"Just some kids? I dont think of it that way" he said to me. I looked up to his face and then he continued" Family isn't blood, Nara. I think of you all as my children. Its never boring to watch over you all. It's a pleasure watching you all growing together, watching you laugh together and watching you creating bonds with each other. And mostly watching you being friends." He said me and I could see that he said those words really happy and proudly.
I looked down. "Umm, sir what is the true meaning of a friend?" I asked him.
"A friend? Well, I can't really explain it, so you will have to figure it out" he told me with a smile on his face. "And you dont have to call me sir, you can call me gramps."I didn't know what to say. "Umm, okay thankyou very much gramps" i thanked him and then left to sleep. I went to bed with everyone and a few hours passed until that nightmare showed up again. I was scared and I suddently got up screaming. Everyone would hate me now just as always , when suddently Mira came next to me. She took my hand . " Did you see a nightmare?" She speaked with a gentle voice. "Y-yes. Sorry to wake you up, but this is what always happen to me. " Always?" She asked curiously. " I keep seeing the same nightmare everynight and when its finished i get up and scream from fear." I said almost about to cry. Mira tapped her hand on my shoulder. "You don't have to worry. You can always lay on me. I'll be right here for you. And I am sure that one day I will be able to lay on you too. That is what friends are for right?" She said me with a smile. "Friends?"i asked her. "Yes, friends for eternity!"she said to me and than she close her eyes.
I was staring at her and realized something.
"Is that the meaning of friends?"i said with my self surprised.
