Rosa reached the workshop and quickly opened the door. The workshop was cold. It was not filled with smoke rather it was silent. The fireplace was smoking with a few red stones glowing in the middle. They are taking their time to cool down. Her eyes fell on the people in the middle. Merlin and Babak were sitting with Justin on the other side. Rosa released the breath she was holding in and walked closer to the man.
“Uncle Justin.” Her mouth just uttered two words as her uncle got up from the bench and hugged her.
His right hand held the back of her head and patted it.
“You alright kid?” he asked.
Rosa nodded her head as they moved to sit on the benches spread out around the room.
“You are promoted finally. Well done kid.” Justin smiled at her. He had bags under his eyes.
“Thank you, Uncle,” Rosa replied. She sat beside Justin. After her father, Justin treated her like his own daughter. Babak smiled looking at both of them.
