Capítulo 16: Chapter 16

Well she never seemed lonely, always humming whenever she prepared meals, and every weekend she gathered the children in the country side for Bible classes for she was a Christian, a very active member in the local church down the street. Emma went in smiling to herself as the aroma of home made bread filled her nostrils. The boys took her bags upstairs, they surely knew their way around the house from the way they walked around, Emma thought, at least they'd be keeping her granny company. As soon as they reappeared downstairs, Emma said a huge thanks to them suddenly realizing how good looking they were, she went to the kitchen seeing grandma hurriedly trying to make Emma tea. One thing was sure, she lived the aroma of this kitchen and yes too, the house was just as warm and cozy as she had hoped, "my dear hope you're not too tired?" Grandma asked smiling at lovely granddaughter, "no grandma I slept in the bus so I'd be awake for a long long long time" she said tossing her head to show how sure she was, Grandma laughed, "well I'm sure you wouldn't stay awake for too long, a journey is a journey" she said. Emma smiled gratefully collecting the cup of tea and the homemade bread she had been perceiving. She soon settled down for a relishing dinner. Grandma too ate with her granddaughter. It wasn't long that she finished her dinner than she dozed off in the cushion. Grandma urged get to go to her room upstairs but she insisted on staying there, "granny here is as good as my room in Washington DC" she said with sleepy eyes "well the main reason I want you to go upstairs to your room...is because of rats" grandma lied thoughtfully, "whoa...!" Emma shouted, hurrying to her room for she hated rats, she showered and relaxed on her bed , it wasn't long since she turned her lights off that grandma came in to pray with her, thanking God for bringing her granddaughter safely to her, after that she placed a plate of cookies on Emma's table and left. Emma are her cookies in bits, well that was it, Emma thought. Destiny musr have been in good terms with her to have sent her at such a time, nothing was as good as this, but how she wished Miles were here too.

Emma was awoken by the penetrating smell of fresh medicinal leaves which seemed to have been steaming in the pot, she got up slowly starring at her phone, seeing up to ten calls she had missed, she sighed scrolling through her call log, "dad... Miles" she said as she scrolled further, she saw her mum's call too, she laughed, "mum even called, they must be thinking I'm a stray child now" laughing again, her mind went to Ryan, how can a boyfriend not seeing his long expected girlfriend in Australia call to know what happened. She shrugged her shoulders not wanting to spoil this delightful morning with such thoughts. She stood up and headed for the kitchen, meeting grandma searching for something in the refrigerator, "morning grandma" she said, grandma stood up surprised the girl was already up, she was thinking the girl would sleep for half a day due to yesterday's journey. She hugged her, "looking for something?" She asked bending over the refrigerator, "yes there's a cabbage I want to get, you're taller see if you can get it" granny said, Emma bent over and there the cabbage was. Grandma chuckled, Emma went about the house sweeping and cleaning.

After spending quite some time, she returned to the kitchen, grandma already dishing a sumptuous breakfast. Looking at the woman over the counter, she appeared all healthy except for the croaked voice, but dad had said that she was very ill, was this a plan or something she pondered as she sat down on the dining for a sumptuous breakfast with Grandma, 'grandmothers.....' Emma thought.

"I hope you don't mind if you go over to my neighbors and ask them to show you where I get eggs from" Grandama asked after they had had breakfast, "okay sure" Emma replied with delight leaving what she was doing on her laptop. Anything for grandmothers. She went straight downstairs to their neighbours, meeting a boy in the courtyard, "hey" she said, he stared at her as though he didn't hear what she said, she walked past him when he now replied, "how are you.....not seen you before" he said, well he was strikingly good looking, so even if she had wanted to go on and act as if she hadn't heard him, his looks just cast a spell on her, she turned around, "oh yeah,Mrs Potts is my grandmother" Emma said, "oh you're Mrs Potts grandmother" he said as though surveying her, she looked at him ridiculously sighing to herself, "well I'm pleased to meet you" he said and continued what he was doing. She met another young man on the stairway, "uhm, hello" she said uncomfortably, how could there be so many people in one place, she thought, he nodded starring at her, quite good looking but not as strikingly good as the first, "my grandmother is Mrs Potts and had asked me to ask you guys where you get eggs from....I don't know" Emma said at once without breathing. He smiled, "Mrs Potts granddaughter, she's always speaking of you" he said, "well good things I hope" Emma said smiling, "surely"he said, letting her through the stairs to meet with his own parents, Mr And Mrs Zane. After she had met with them, he took her along with him, down the stairs and soon they were on the streets, the guy downstairs whose name was, Maly had shouted after them to be careful. They soon entered a farm, where there were several cows, horses in stables, fowls ran about in several pens and the place smelt of goats as though only goats were there. There was a cowboy bent over a cow, it looked like he was about to milk it. The guy who led Emma to the farm, touched the cowboy who on turning to see him smiled and they soon got talking. They talked about the animals mainly, about the teen and youth activities that were coming up soon in their community. Emma eavesdropped at their conversation interested. They soon stopped talking as though they had just noticed her, she pretended to be busy walking around the farm house and speaking with the animals, "hello" the guy who had brought her said, she turned, he introduced her to the cowboy,"meet my friend Emma, Mrs Potts granddaughter" he said, the cowboy nodded ,'friend?' Emma thought, how could he say I'm his friend, "you would surely smell of stables when you get back home"the cowboy said still standing where he was, she smiled, and he bent over to finally milk the cow, who seemed to have been impatient already. "I love the smell" she said and he laughed disbelievingly, "then I guess you're coming from the city", the cowboy said, the other boy who had brought her turned to go, expecting her to follow him, "well let's go" he said on seeing she wasn't following him, "when I'm done here, he'd show me my way home" she said, "oh that guy, he's never free and wouldn't be able to show you your way home" the boy said, the cowboy looked up, "don't worry I'll show her the way back home" the cowboy said.

Emma smiled at the cowboy as soon as the boy who had brought her has left, "what's his name?"Emma asked, "so you mean you don't know the name of the guy who had just brought you here...?" He asked , "well yeah"Emma said twisting some part of her hair, "when did you arrive?" He asked, "just yesterday" Emma said, he nodded, "he is Ryle, everyone in this part of the country side,.... know him very well" the cowboy was saying, "knows him for?"Emma asked slightly irritated, "for many things, he does carpentry jobs for people, plumbing, building and all that one can think of" he said dryly, "I don't think one person can be good in all that" Emma said, "well he claims to be good at all that" the cowboy said smiling.

"So what's your name?" Emma asked when she had helped him to finish cleaning up the farm, "Stewart" he said slowly as if trying to charm her by the way he said it, but she was sure he wasn't trying to. He showed her some more things around the farm and soon she thought she should start for, giving her the eggs she demanded for without collecting money he showed her the way back home. Emma wondered whether Stewart always gave granny eggs like this for free, well if he did he would look for a way to repay him,she thought.
