chapter°6

Maria and Rose were busy the whole day in the vineyard ,tired yet happy they could go home after this because their shift was ending ,more like Rose's shift. Maria was the owner but she treated herself like all of her employees doing as much as they would and she wanted to talk to Rose so after their shift both headed to Maria's home for a cup of tea.

Rose already too attached to her baby brought Luka to Maria's. Meanwhile the older woman stared at the young girl playing with her puppy whilst drinking her tea.She was always full of thoughts in her tiny brain the town called her their very own scholar for her wisdom.

'Rose be very honest with me i know you ran away from home but all this time never did i ask why so tell me'

This question triggered the very guilt Rose had been trying to push inside her. She knew running away from her loved one's was not what a good daughter should have done yet she was suffocating at her own home for whatever reasons.She missed everyone and sometimes cried thinking of going back but as time went by she grew more happy being where she is now.

Was she ready to spill her reasons to Maria ? She knew the older woman was like a sister to her and they were very close so maybe she deserves to know.

'I.....Maria.....please don't look at me differently .....its ....comp...I just don't understand what goes in my head. I am such a bad person Maria I actually ran way from my family ,from my home, from everything...'

Tears were spilling profusely from the heartbroken girl, the older woman thought maybe this was the first time she had opened up to anyone and cried so loud infront of them and she hugged her so lovingly whispering words of comfort.

After the breakdown Rose composed herself after an hour or so, still sniffling with puffy wet eyes but she felt relieved for once after speaking out her feelings. Maria decided its better to let her sleep at her place clearly Rose wasn't on her right mind to go home alone.

The duo were soon having their dinner scrumptiously and Maria thought it was a good time to question her about the town's infamous Junhoe after hearing almost everyday from people who can't stop gossiping about this new relationship to be.

Maria knew too well about Junhoe's past experience she was almost like his second mother after his parents entrusted her to tutor him years back and though they hardly met yet they were comfortable enough to share a secret or two.

Her thoughts were cut short when the doorbell rang to which she walked towards whoever was mad enough to come so late at 8pm knowing she hates it.

Of course it had to be him the subject of her next question ,this was so much better now that he was here.
