Chapter 6 Chapter six

• Anna POV
• My son, Dave, just came back and he told me how is day went. I had been waiting for him for so long that I forgot to go and buy us something to eat. I took some money out of the one Mr Charles gave us and left the house.
• I was walking on my own when I saw two men who seemed to be drunk coming out of the bar ahead.
• I had no other choice but to pass there anyway. Besides, the other road that led to the shop I was heading to was abandoned and bushy.
• So I took the risk and walked passed by them.
• "Hey!... Hey!... " I heard one of them yell after me and I walked faster and faster. I was scared and wanted to look back to see if I was followed but thankfully I wasn't.
• The next day, I woke my son up early. I didn't need to stress much because it seemed as if he was about to wake up on his own already.
• "Good morning mother." He said in a yawn.
• "Good morning son. How was your night?" I asked.
• "It was sweet and lovely mother." He replied.
• I wanted to tell him about last night but I decided not to because I didn't want to worry him at all.
• "You look worried mother. What's wrong?" He asked.
• "Nothing son. Get up and prepare for work while I go to buy breakfast." I said and stood up.
• Any further investigation from Dave would bring out the truth.
• He worries a lot about me and I also worry about him. If I told him what happened last night, he would never let me go out to buy dinner stuff again. He would take it upon himself to buy it and I wouldn't want anything to happen to him if he goes out at night.
• I left the house to buy breakfast while he takes his bath.
• I was on my way to the usual shop when I suddenly noticed a man stop his car in front of the shop. He looked familiar.
• "Oh God, it's the same man from the bar last night. I'm sure he didn't come to buy Anything. His just stalling so he can find me." I said and hid myself, waiting for him to leave.
• Mr Adams POV
• I stayed there in my car waiting to see if that beautiful lady I saw the other night. I kept looking at the direction she came from the other night and I spotted her. She went into hiding immediately.
• She doesn't know I have seen her and I'm pretty sure she is hiding from me. And when I noticed that, I decided not to budge. It seemed to me she wanted to buy something from that shop.
• I was happy when I saw she had given up. She started walking towards the shop and I adjusted my suit.
• Everything got ruined for me when ones of my employees called to tell me that the documents I've been waiting for for some months now have finally arrived and I needed to sign it immediately before the expiry date, which is this afternoon, reaches. I had to leave and go to my office.
• Anna POV
• He doesn't even want to budge. He just stayed there seated in his car. I couldn't wait any longer. My son would be late to work.
• I breathed in some air and then started walking to the shop.
• Luckily for me, he received a call and left before he could see me.
• I couldn't explain the kind of relief I felt. Thank goodness I escaped.
• I bought the stuff I needed and went back home. My son Dave was already standing outside. I must have taken a lot of time.
• "What took you so long mother?" He asked.
• I had to think of an excuse. I don't want him getting worried over a stalker. I can take care of myself.
• "I saw a friend of mine. We started talking and I lost track of time." I said.
• Luckily for me my son easily believes what I ever I say and he bought it.
• "Come inside let's eat. I got us some tea and bread." I see said.
• "Okay mother." He replied.
• We were just about to enter the house when Mr Charles suddenly horned for him.
• Dave POV
• I could tell that something was wrong with my mother. I just pretended to believe her excuse as I usually do. If she isn't sharing it with me then she has her reasons.
• We were about to go into the house and eat when Mr Charles suddenly horned for me.
• I knew there was no time for good anymore and I had to leave. I wouldn't want Mr Charles to leave me behind or get late to work because of me.
• "Mother I have to go." I said.
• "I know but can't I just request him to wait for a bit?" She asked.
• "No mother. That won't be right." I said.
• "But you have to eat something." She insisted.
• "I'll eat when I return mother." I said and waved her goodbye when I noticed we are spending too much time in talking.
• I entered Mr Charles' car and he zoomed off.
• "Oh. I forgot to tell you this the other day. You must always put on your seatbelt when in a moving vehicle." He said.
• I put on my seat belt and told him thank you for the tip.
• "Um... Dave. I'm sorry about yesterday. My boss sent me on an errand and I left you behind. I totally forgot. It was when the meeting started that I remembered. I'm really very sorry." He apologized.
• "It's okay sir, no problem." I replied.
• "By the way, how did you get home last night?" He asked.
• "Mr Adams took me home." I replied.
• "Really?" He said.
• "Yes sir." I replied.
• "You must be a very special kid. Mr Adams doesn't usually do such favours for anybody." He said.
