I was just out of the library when I saw someone sitting next to the statue in the middle of the school compound. I was wondering what would someone be doing sitting alone there. so I decided to go and see if the person is alright.
As I got closer I saw that it was a lady and I immediately touched her from behind and she froze. It was as if someone had pointed a gun at her.
"Please do not hurt me. I have only come to clear my head", said Christen.
"I will not hurt you. I have just seen you sitting by yourself so I wanted to know if you are fine", said Arhtur.
It took her a few minutes before she knew who she was speaking to. She turned and looked at him and soon a smile formed on her lips. She hugged him and held him in an embrace. she felt at peace.
She had not noticed they had hugged for long till he cleared his throat.
"Oh! Sorry I was lost in my thoughts" She said.
"It is okay no need to apologize", he replied.
"Why are you sitting alone at the school compound at night?", He asked.
She took three minutes trying to think of how to tell him what happened.
she finally decided to tell him after all it wont hurt she thought.
"My father left us", she said. She began sobbing her whole body shaking tears streaming down her face like waterfall.
Arhtur reached out to her and pat her back softly. She leaned on his chest and continued sobbing. He did not know what to do since he had never been in such a situation.
After about ten minutes of crying she stopped and looked aside from Arhtur. His shirt was soaking wet on the shoulder.
She looked at him and said, "Sorry"
He looked at her and asked," Are you fine now?"
"No I cant go back home and see my hurt mother", said Christen
"You need to go back home to help your mother get through this.....together", Arhtur said.
"I do not know if I can look at her, what will I say to her?", she said.
As soon as she was asking that question her phone rang. The caller ID was well known to her. She looked at it and put it back in her pants pocket.
he looked at her and said, "Look let me take you home. I will keep you company till you go to bed".
"What about you should you be heading home?" she asked.
He smiled and told her the school is home. she agreed and he walked her to the house. Immediately her mother had the door handle open she ran to see if it was her daughter and was relieved to see her. she had not noticed her guest till they were in the living room.
She turned to look at the stranger in her house. She looked at her daughter and back at the boy.
"He offered to bring me home from school", she said
"What is your name and where do come from?" Helena asked.
"I am Arhtur and I come from India" he said
Helena looked at him once again and she saw that his clothes were dirty and torn.
"What happened to you?" she asked
"It is a long story ma'am", he said
Well I have a whole night I can listen to your story, You do not look good yourself", she said
He looked at her and his head sunk down not able to control the tears that flowed from his eyes.
