The Tiny Lwanda 3

Chapter 8: Rose

[Rose's Story]

I have been thinking about our adventures lately. Of how we went to visit our uncle Sam and were delighted because that had never happened before. Of how we had been introduced to the tiny Lwanda and how we had used it to travel to other worlds. Of how I had been captured by those nasty creatures and ended up in their prisons and had lost all hope of seeing my people again. Of how uncle had ended in the same prison and used the tiny Lwanda and we ended up in the wondrous light planet and met Eon and the other Watchers.
Of how I had died in battle and my uncle rescued me and brought me back. Of how we had gone on to fight many wars and two dragons as we tried to reach the king of the Te.

The first time I got back home, or I thought I got back home, I could not remember how it had happened; it was more like a dream about my future.

You see in all this adventure I could see that Mike had found someone to love and so did uncle Sam. The objects of their affections was plain to see - Eon and Over-watch respectively.

I was the only one who had not even had at least a boy who is a friend - leave alone a boyfriend.

When I found myself in my future I had a husband and two children. The husband was a sweet man who did everything nice for me and met my every needs. He loved our children, two girls, very much and also loved me.

He would go to the office in the morning, but first make sure that he hugged each one of us and kissed us, then he would drive off. I would then also leave for work and our live-in nanny would prepare the children for school. My husband would call me during the day and would give me some short nice stories and tell me just how much he loved me. The evenings would be just as sweet and when we finally went to bed he would be magical in bed. Yep, that's how we had gotten the two little girls.

The bad side to all this wonderful life was that I had a boss who was the most handsome man I had ever seen in my entire life. He was more handsome than any man I had ever seen on television shows - not even the soaps.

This handsome man who was so rich and had a lot going for him including a holiday Villa hidden near some beach somewhere, was single and decided to choose me as the object of his affection. He really tried to show me just how much he cared for me and wanted me to be his. I was left wondering why he had chosen me for there were other single ladies in the office and some were more beautiful than I am.

I remember that as I continued to turn this man down, his bad side continued to reveal itself. First I was denied a promotion if I refused to sleep with him and later my workload was increased and my immediate supervisor instructed by the boss to ensure that I completed the work.
It would take me up to late in the evening for me to complete the work. This started affecting my relationship with my husband.

The job was nice and it paid me well and not only that, we needed the money. My husband's money was tied to paying the mortgage while mine bought the daily necessities.

One day Over-watch appeared and told me that I had to resign from that work in order for me to wake up. "Wake Up?" Was I asleep? I later on came to note that I must be because memories of another life and wars kept on filling my dreams and my day dreams. I also did not know how I had gotten from the wars, back to earth and to this future me. I therefore resigned and woke up.

Now that I was heading to school, the feeling that I did not know how I ended up here was there again - was this another dream?
