a bottle of ale for hope

new acquaintance

When they reached the kitchen Sandara observed that it was well stocked with produce that can last for a week.

" Fruits and cereals?" the man asked. He was smiling at her. Maybe her question is clearly seen on her face. Sandara nodded as she sat at a stool at the far side of the kitchen.

With utmost grace the young man prepared their meal. She wanted to ask some questions but she cannot find the voice to ask. What's his name? Where did he come from? How did he find her? And where in the world are they?

After a while he set a tray with a generous amount of cereals and a bowl of fresh fruits. He sat across her and started eating. Its easy to see that he is trying to stare away from her. The only sound that you can hear is the sea sloshing to the side of the boat and their spoons meeting the bowl.

That was the first time that Sandara noticed her clothes. The last time she remember she was still dressed on her wedding gown, but now she is in a white crisp long sleeves and pajamas. She lost hold of her spoon and it fell to the floor.

"Huh? What? Is it not good?" he asked.

" How... How.. Whe... Where are my original clothes?" Sandara asked in her throaty voice. She was refraining herself for screaming and running away.

"Oh, I'm sorry about that, I asked one of the old lady from the Island that I crashed into when i saved you to change your clothes. I should have change it myself but that will be a sin," he responded.

Sandara smiled immediately and thought of him as a true gentleman. He was smiling back at her. " Oh My Lady if you only knew," he thought to himself.
