"Hey hold it right there!" Guards shouted as they ran after a hooded boy.
He was found suspicious by the guards since he was definitely hiding his face and was acting strange so they decided to ask him question but instead of answering them, the boy ran and that's how he got into that situation.
He saw an open window on a building and climbed it. It appears that it was a bedroom. Few minutes later the guards were nowhere to be found.
He heard a voice coming from the door to the room. "Why now?!" He thought to himself.
Alarmed he immediately ran towards the window but it was too late.
"KYAAAAAAAA!!!!!"
A girl who just came in the room saw the man who was near her window.
"THIEF!" The lady shouted at the man as she threw things her hands could grab a hold of at him.
"Wait miss please. I'm not a thief! You've got the wrong idea!" The man tried to defend himself but things were flying everywhere.
He avoided every single object but there he was hit and his hood came off revealing his face. He quickly jumped out of the window and using magic, he flew away.
"How dare he. There's nothing to steal here". The girl exclaimed as she started picking up all the things she sent out flying.
Meanwhile the boy was still flying back to his house. Wherever it is. "What is that girl's problem?" He thought.
~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~
Few days passed and the boy is again with the crowd. He was actually blending in rather than the hood he once wore. He had a turban on his head and his hair was blue with some flour all over it.
He saw guards lurking around and is about to pass where he is so he turned to a small alley but he didn't realize that someone was there. He bumped into the person knocking both of them out of balance.
"I'm so sorry sir." The girl apologized while picking up all the scattered books that she was carrying.
"My apologies as well". The man said and helped the girl pick up the books. They both stood up and the man handed the books over.
The girl looked up at the man and saw a familiar face. "You again?! This time I'm calling the guards!" She exclaimed but before she could shout for help the man covered her mouth with his hand.
"Shhhhh!!! How loud can you get?!" He said as he held the girl so that she couldn't run and report him and still covering her mouth so that she won't scream.
The girl however was struggling out of the man's grip.
"Wait. I'm not a thief alright! Will you just calm down?!" After saying that he released the girl.
Girl: Oh yeah?! Then why were you in my room last time?! And now your here in this alley way.
"Wait. Are you stalking me?"
Boy: Stalking you? Don't hold your breath little miss. You are not worth stalking.
I was just avoiding someone and i saw an open window so i hid there. It was merely a coincidence.
Girl: First of all I'm not little
Boy: Yes you are
Girl: Second, how dare you say I'm not worth stalking. And third, who're you hiding from? The guards?
Boy: No! Of course not... I was just hiding from my... Uhhhhhhh....
Girl: Your?
Boy: My... M-mother! That's right. I'm hiding from my mother.
Girl: What kind of excuse is that?
Boy: It's true. It's just that I had a fight with her and I wasn't yet ready to talk and apologize to her. So when I saw her i hid
Girl: O-oh. But that doesn't explain why you're here.
Boy: It must be fate.
Girl: Eh?
Boy: Fate must have brought me to you
Girl: H-huh
The girl blushed really hard at the comment. She was so embarrassed and looked down avoiding eye contact with the man in front of her.
Boy: Don't get too flustered. I just meant that you're carrying really heavy books that's as tall as you. You won't even be able to see the path.
Girl: Hmph! I can manage.
Boy: I'll help you
Girl: No thank you.
Boy: What a brat.
The man took 3/4 of the books the girl was carrying and smiled at her which made the girl blush again.
Boy: Where to?
Girl: T-the orphanage.
Boy: Oh ok. Let's go then little miss.
Girl: I'm not little!
Boy: Oh I forgot to ask your name little miss.
Girl: It's Sheba.
Boy: Sheba. That's a nice name.
Sheba: What about you? What's your name?
Boy: Solo.....
Sheba: Solo?
Boy: Ah i mean so low. The sun looks like it's so low, it became bigger than usual. Like it came nearer hah-hah. (What the heck am I saying)
Sheba: Oh. Okay........
Boy: I'm Ithnan by the way.
Sheba: Well then thanks for your help Ithnan
The two finally arrived at the orphanage and both of them went in. As Sheba walked in the door she was welcomed by many children. They hugged her and asked her to carry them. Ithnan could only smile at the sight he was seeing.
Then a small child came close to him. He smiled at the child. He set the books down he was carrying and carried the child.
Sheba looked at her new friend Ithnan and smiled at what she saw. Ithnan was playing with the child at his arms.
Sheba: Hey children I got you some books to read.
Nun Leih: Thank you Sheba. But as I told you, you don't have to do this anymore.
Sheba: *smile* I have grown up here and this will always be my home.
Sister Leih: You were always a kind child my dear. And I see you've brought with you a friend.
Sheba: Yes. This is Ithnan.
Sister Leih: What a handsome young man. You even look as handsome as the king David.
Ithnan: Hah-hah. You think so. *scratching the back of his head*
Sister Leih: Oh dear boy, I know. The king is a good man. He is the one who established this orphanage and he sometimes visit us here.
Ithnan: Has Sheba seen the King already?
Sister Leih: No. Unfortunately for the rest of her stay here she was always asleep or out when the king visits.
Ithnan: Oh. Ummmm... Would it be alright if I stay here for a while?
Sister Leih: Not at all. Everyone is welcome here. Besides, the children likes you too.
Ithnan: Thank you sister.
