Not Born for This World

Chapter 7

                         
I work up from a deep slumber,startled. I was no longer in Masela's car but in a room that looked rather unfamiliar, the only familiar thing being Fiesta who was sleeping beside on the bed. I  looked at my surroundings in awe,astonished. I had never seen anything  so beautiful. The room was a mixture of my two favourite colours,blue and white and as  i looked up to the ceiling, I saw the most beautiful skyline with stars spread out looking so real, as if all i had to do was reach out,to touch one. I guessed it was in Masela's house. He must have  carried me here after  i had fallen asleep in the car. "But whose bedroom was this?" I wondered as I made a mental note to thank Masela for carrying me from the car once i saw him again. I must have been beyond exhausted  yesterday,or maybe it was due to the anxiety pills  I had taken earlier. We must have arrived in the early hours of the night. Looking for my luggage, I found it already unpacked and hanging in a walk in  closet I discovered attached to the bedroom. Why were my clothes in this bedroom? The walk in closet  looked close to empty with only my clothes hanging there. I frowned upon how my clothes looked out of place,for the first time regretting my poor taste in fashion. Some of my other personal belongings lay on top of a small curved table that stood at the corner of the room. Someone had even gone the extra mile and hanged my family photos on the head side of the bed. It felt weird that someone had gone through my things to unpack them but I was also glad that now, I didn't have to do it. My body was still feeling very low on energy.

So I guess this was indeed my room. I wondered what the other parts of the house looked. "Masela must be really loaded." I thought to myself,although material things didn't really impress me, I  had grown up to be grounded,due to my parents  influence on me.
But I still couldn't deny I felt some kind of amazement staring at the beautiful skyline ceiling. Watching the stars  at night with my mum has been one of our favourite pass times,when it had been just me and her at home. I remembered her often telling  me never to give up and  that she knew that one day i would shine bright,just like one of those stars....but now i knew she would be the one shining up there,looking down over me. As I continued looking at those stars,I imagined  the one on the right to be my mum and the one shining on the far left, my dad. I had a feeling they were already watching over me even from their graves. I couldn't be by mere coincidence that Masela had found me right when he did. I was starting to believe it to be their doing,that our fates had crossed paths, back at that Train station. I whispered a thank you to them,as tears pouring down my face.

I was jolted out of my thoughts by a slight knock on the door and then the door opened slowly, revealing a young lady maybe a little older that me. She was dressed in uniform so I guessed she was the house maid in the house. She walked in smiling pushing a tray of food.  She walked to the big window and drew the curtains letting rays of sunshine  pierce through the room,making the room appear like something out of this world. It was indeed beautiful beyond any expectations.

"Good morning Miss Lulu,Sir Masela asked me offer you a warm welcome to his home,and to bring you your breakfast. He also told me to ask you if there is anything else you'll be needing this morning ,to make you comfortable." I heard her speak quickly. I was glad she hadn't asked to know the reason behind my visible tear stained face and i couldn't help but blush, when she referred to me as Miss Lulu.  It felt weird coming from her, considering she looked a few years older than me.

"Please call me Lulu" I shyly requested her. She seemed hesitant at first but finally agreeing once she saw I wouldn't have it any other way. I opened the tray of food and I was shocked to discover the contents,milk and Choco flakes,which were my favourite cereals,and a side plate full tangerine wedges,my favourite fruits..."How did he even know?...Or was it just pure coincidence?"I wondered. Looking up to the girl,I noticed she was now staring at me openly,most likely wondering who the hell I was to her boss,and I couldn't even blame her. I myself didn't also have an answers to that,all I had were unanswered questions."Where is Masela?" I asked her, as poured milk into the bowl of Choco flakes. I saw her face turn into one shock on hearing me refer to him so informally but she quickly tried to cover it up."Sir Masela is held up in an appointment,but he did  leave me a couple of instructions to give to you once you were awake."
