Mabel point of view :
After Kennedy left , every routine went as usual but today seems longer than usual, Oh! who added more hours to the day .
" Mabel !!! " Ma screamed as if I was in another village while I was close to her, snapping me out of my thoughts. She said "Go now with your helper and one of the guild, to the plantation and supervise the workers and bring back today earnings" .
"Yes Ma " I replied with ecstasy feeling relieved as I had wanted to leave the mansion for some fresh air so bad. We mounted on our horses as we went. I will seize this opportunity visit the shelter . That's where my heart and soul his they are my family.
Kendy as I fondly called him and I first met there when he came to pay homage, that was three years ago he became a frequent visitor to HOME OF THE HOMELESS shelter when he first brought me to Ma And Pa they kicked against that as the only son village head he was suppose to be married to a chief daughter.
But love conquers all as they allowed us to be together after Kendy fell into depression.

The gateman finally open after I had tirelessly horned I was so stressed out and angry I didn't reply his greeting. I took a hot bath and microwaved my meal ,who else noticed that you know how long 5 minutes is while you are waiting for the microwave.
A call came in again this time I took it ;"hello, is this Mrs sheila barnes....."
The call left me in shock I just received the worst news of all Kendrick killed somebody at his camp aa the caller said" they were both drunk and arguing over some pretty issue before Kendrick pushed him downstairs" . He's in cell I was to get a lawyer. I know he has lost his temper and was at it again, I silently prayed for the deceased family ,this is is when my rich in laws comes in handy , I need to go see them.
