The stoolie just sat there and was looking at her and she, shedding tears as she was not used to having them, her mouth let out a huge scream that attracted Hendrick and his mother who were outside having a conversation.
She had managed to get on her feet running to the open outlet that was in front of her. Calling for help, he was heading to the door as well and Daniella without looking at where she was going, bumped into him at the door fighting her way out with her eyes closed.
" What is the matter my dear, who is causing you from our house", his mother muttered but she who was so scared, could not open her eyes and all she was screaming was,
"There is a fat rat in here, a huge one and it was looking at me". Hendricks's mom walked into the house to see what she was talking about, but she could not find any rats inside the house. Despite that, she was still aware that there were many rats in her house and she felt embarrassed that they had frightened her guest or so it looks like.
" I am sorry that you had to live something like this little one, hope you are better", her soft voice made her open her eyes to catch a glimpse of the person who was talking to her. At the sight of her, she saw a beautiful woman with the soot of grey hair on the front of her head with deep blue eyes.
Her beauty was very striking though one could see that it was covered with suffering. Her smile was unique while she was very slim and looked kind of sick. Daniella smile back at her saying,
"Thank you Ma'am, but do I know you?, and where am I?", she inquire before thinking of taking up her head to see the person who was holding her. Her gaze had finally met Hendrick who was so concerned about her and she screamed out,
" You again?", she screamed out.
"Can you stop acting like a spoilt brat?". But Daniella not even knowing where she was, scolded him with a lot of threats saying that she was going to beat him up if he doesn't take her out of there. Pausing for a minute, she gradually veered around her head in the direction where his mother was standing. Taking a closer look at her and bringing back her head towards him, she swallowed the saliva that had established in her throat making it pain and with a soft voice she asked,
" Are you his mother ma'am?". Her eyes looked around and seeing her car she tried to join the missing pieces of what was happening.
"Yes I am his mom and I am pleased to meet you ma'am", she responded. She trembled at the hearing of that and feeling all happy, she greeted her saying that she was sorry for her behavior earlier
" Please call me Daniella, I don't have the right to be called ma'am by an elderly person", she narrated. Trying to move a step back, her leg hurt her so much, and taking a look at it, it had swollen up.
"Oh, my goodness, what happened to her leg Hendrick, you did not even show me when you brought her in", his mother yelled out but Gael too had forgotten that she had a sprain. It was swollen and visible.
" Let me carry you so that you can have a seat", he spoke out but Daniella not being able to contain her anger for him, slapped his hand off while saying that it was his fault because if not for his senseless girlfriend who had pushed her down on the beach, her leg will still be fine.
His mother standing by the fireside to boil some water to press her leg asked what she meant by that, and only then did She come back to her senses as she realized that his mother was there. Covered with shame, she apologized to his mom and thanked her so much for taking care of her. Her heart was filled with joy to know that there were still some good people around but she had to go to her house.
"No way, you are not going to your house with that swollen leg and you cannot even walk talk less of driving with that", she cit her short and with a curious stare, she did not want to ask her son who the lady Daniella was referring to was.
The anger on her face was slowly disappearing and a strong breeze began passing. It was so hard that she thought it was going to carry her skinny self away.
" Ma'am, I am so sorry that we had to meet under such terrible circumstances and I also want to apologize for being so harsh to your son in front of you, the truth is that, his heart nerves me so much so I have to go".
Hendricks not knowing what to do, saw a sign from his mother, as she used her eyes to tell him not to let her go. Feeling embarrassed by the situation, Daniella struggled to walk to her car but the pain was just too much for her to bear, and feeling a hand tap her from behind, Gael apologized to her for being such a pain in the butt.
He told her not to leave in such a situation and admitting that his house might not be as beautiful as the castle that she was used to living in, he concluded with words like, they live happily as a family. She was touched by his sincere words that she pulled herself from the pillars that were supporting his house and sat down on the little bench that was by the side, she let out a deep sigh.
"I do not know you Daniella and I know that you are not used to our way of living here, but it is getting too late and besides your leg is swollen and needs to be massaged. Let me make a delicious soup for you okay?", his mother spoke out.
