Chapter 3: At The Nathaniel's Farm

At The Nathaniel's Farm

" We're here. " Nathaniel said.

My head bumped on his back when he suddenly stopped.

He turned his head at his back.

His forehead furrowed.

" What are you doing? " He said upon seeing me bumping on his back.

I breathe hard. He's walking too fast.

Then, I moved away from him a little.

I stand up properly and turned my head back on his face.

" Nothing. " I just said.

   He just looked at me once then he opened the wide gate and entered.

I breathe hard.

Then, I followed him.

I looked around.

A two hectares farm, maybe, of Cacao and Coffee beans.
Variety of vegetables and fruits.
Trees.
Poultry.
Hogs.

" Nathaniel! " shouted by an old voice.

I turned my look to the owner of the voice.

An old woman.
White strands of hair.
Eyeglasses.
She is wearing a white below the knee dress with blue blazer on top of it and a white flat shoes.

She is holding a white umbrella.

She smiled upon seeing me.

" You? You are that woman on the bus and on that waiting shed, right? " She said in a confirming tone.

I smiled shyly. I remember her.

" Yes, Ma'am. " I answered.

She nodded.

" I see. You didn't say that you're also going on the same direction as to mine. " She said.

" I'm so sorry, Ma'am. I have no idea that you own this place, I think. " I said.

She just smiled.

" It's okay. And, yes we own this place. " She said.

Nathaniel coughed hard.

" Are you done? The two of you? Chitchatting with each other? " He said in a bit irritated voice.

The old woman beats his shoulder. " This kid! You don't have manners! "

" Aww. " He said.

I laughed a little.

" So, what are you doing here? " The old woman asked upon turning back to me. " By the way, please call me Mama Anita and this is Nathaniel. How may I help you, my dear? " she asked.

I smiled back.

" I came here just to pick-up the orders of my mother, Esther Noble. A sack of cacao and coffee beans. " I answered.

Her eyes widened. She holds my shoulders tightly and looked directly into my eyes.

" Esther Noble? " she asked.

I nodded. " Yes, Ma'am. "

" Esther Noble? Where do you live? " she asked while looking into my eyes.

" At the Moonstone Village? " I said back, wondering on her reaction.

" Oh! The Moonstone Village! You are Queentarrah Noble, right? The only daughter of Esther and Ron Noble. " she said.
