Wednesday .
Scarlet's POV .
" Wow , examinations are not things to be underestimated . "- I stated while we were on our way out after our third day of the examination week .
" Yeah we know , but let's leave that , my mom has asked us to visit Miss . Summer . " - Jared said while levelling his backpack on his shoulder .
" That's a great idea ! "- Mark encouraged .
We got into our various cars and drove to the elderly home Miss. Summer was in .
We arrived after a few minutes , asked the reception the information we will need and headed for her floor .
" Miss. Summer ! "- we whisper yelled and gave her a warm hug in the recreation room .
" Aww , how are you kids ! "- she excitedly asked .
" We are fine ! "- we chorused around her .
" I hope your new parents are good to you ? "- she asked with a smile.
" Yeah , they are awesome ! "- we said together and laughed by our unison answer .
" Even you Scarlet ? "- he asked with a raised brow .
" * Giggles * yes Miss. Summer ! Even me . "- I replied with a smile .
We managed to talk for a while and listened to all the crazy adventures she had had herself living here . We told her our stories while she laughed in shock .
" You kids should be very careful , "- she warned .
" Yes Miss . Summer ! "- we mumbled .
She held her head and hissed in pain .
" What's wrong ? " - Beatrice asked in concern .
" I've not been feeling well lately , but it's nothing too serious . "- she waved a hand .
" No , no , you should see a doctor . "- Maya urged .
" Fine , thank you . " - she replied .
" Assalamualaikum Summer , "- a woman who had covered her head with a veil greeted .
" Wala - wait - walaikum Salam right "- she replied in between laughs .
" Yes , you're right and who are these cute kids . "- she complimented with a smile .
" Oh , these are the kids I used to take care of back in the foster home . "- She replied .
" Nice to meet you then , bye ! "- she bid and went to sit by a man , I'm guessing her husband .
" That's her husband Saeed , "- Miss. Summer confirmed my guess while also staring at them .
" What's that thing on her head ? "- I asked with a puzzled look .
"That's her hijab . "- she replied .
" Why ? "- I continued.
" You can go and ask her if you want , I'm sure she would be happy to explain a few things to you . "- Miss. Summer urged . " You five as well , not all of the people here get visited by their relatives . Come on ! Get up and go mingle . "- she continued .
We each got up while I found my way towards the woman in the hijab .
" I guess we're going the same way right ? "- Mark said beside me .
" And who are you going to mingle with ? "- I asked with a raised brow .
" Mr. Saeed of course , the Islamic religion has fascinated me since I visited Saudi Arabia with my parents . "- He replied .
