บท 8: CHAPTER 8

It was rain overnight, the breeze was blowing gently and everywhere was so cold. Aria came down to the living room, wearing a short gown and rolled a small blanket all over her body. She just woke up and it was like that she was coming down to the living room.

Henry was at the kitchen and making hot tea so that to drink for the cold before going into the campus; he was wearing a white t-shirt with a white trouser and also with a white expensive sneaker. Henry really loves white colour and he couldn't do without wearing it in three days; even it was MR WHITE that his friends used to call him.

"Good morning" Aria said with low voice and as she rests her two hands on the kitchen cabinet and looking at Henry as he was making tea inside two cups.

"I can see that it's the weather that makes you to wake up lately today" Henry said with low voice and passed a cup of tea to her. Aria was the first person that firstly always woke up in the morning and as she woke up like this Henry couldn't able to sleep again because Aria didn't use to stay in a place or keeps her mouth shut. She would be walking round the house and busy singing.

"The cold is too much and it's like I shouldn't get up from the bed. Thanks for this" Aria showed her appreciations for the tea, zipping the tea and looking at Henry drinking his own.

"Are you going out?" Aria asked with low voice and put the mug down on the cabinet.

"I want to enter the campus; I have some things to do and some documents to clear out. I must do all these things before I go home" Henry replied.

"Can I come with you please?" Aria asked with low voice, and trying to blackmail him with cool face.

"I promise not to disturb you, I will behave myself and obey your instructions" Aria quickly said as Henry looked at her and used that to hold him.

"And it will better you do like that" Henry said with low voice; he put the cup inside the sink and washing it.

"Oh! So you mean I can come with you? Thank you!" Aria said with loud voice and so much excitement. She quickly removed the blanket from her body, dropped it on the chair and used her hands to smooth her hair.

"Are we going now?" Aria asked; Henry dropped the rag in his hand that he was using to clean the cabinet and faced.

"And if we should be going now, are you going like this?" Henry threw a question back to her.

"Yes now, this cloth is okay and I am good. Even nobody else is seeing me except from you but I don't know why you always acting like it's the entire world that are seeing me" Aria said with low voice and laughing loudly.

"Hey! What I mean is that won't you take your bath? Because I am sure that you haven't" Henry said.

"It's cold and I can't touch water at all" Aria replied.

"And before you can go out with me, you have to take your bath or else stay at home" Henry said with loud voice and turned his back at Aria, continued with the cleaning that he was doing.

"Okay, I will go and do that, and some minutes please" Aria said with low voice and frowning her face. She turned back and going to her bedroom.

"Such a dirty girl" Henry said with low voice as he was looking at Aria walking sluggishly and going to her room. He cleaned his hands with a towel, spread it on the handle of the kitchen's cabinet and left the kitchen side. He got to the living room, sat down on the couch and waiting for Aria.

Some minutes later; Aria came down to the living room, wearing the same gown and she had took her bath. She flew to the front of Henry as she got to the living room and standing at the front of him.

"Let's go" she said with low voice, smiling at him and her legs weren't stable on the floor.

Henry got up, carried his laptop bag and going out. He opened the door widely, shifted to his right hand and waiting for Aria to go out first. He was just practicing 'ladies first' protocol. Aria left the room and Henry followed her; he closed the door from behind, locked with key and kept the key inside his pocket.

Two of them entered into the car and closed the doors at the same time; Henry used the seat beat, starts the car and driving out from the compound.

They got to the campus gate after twenty minutes, stopped for checkup by the security that were there and allowed them to be going in after few minutes. Aria was looking round the environment and really admired it; the University was her dreamt University and wished to come but her mother didn't let her and forced her to the one of her own choice.

"I really admired this University a lot and I am happy that I entered into it today" Aria said with loud voice and with so much excitement.

"It's so beautiful exactly the way I use to see it on social media" Aria was kneeling down on the chair and busy looking round the environment through the glass at the door. Henry wasn't saying anything just focused to where he was going to.

He parked under a big tree at the front of a building standing alone there, and beside the other cars that were there. Henry opened the door and two of them got down from the same place. Aria was extremely happy to be in that school, so as she got down she started wanted to be walking around and didn't want to stay in one place.

"Hey! Listen to me, and firstly are you with your phone?" Henry asked and looking at his environment; where they were was few with people but still Bryson was still conscious of his environment.

"Okay! Great, this is where I am coming to and where I will finish everywhere that I want to do. So I want you to stay here and don't dare to go anywhere, can you hear me?" Henry said with loud voice.

"Don't let your walking pass this vicinity and I will be watching you inside"

"Okay, I heard you and I won't" Aria replied; Henry just passed beside her without saying a word and going to the building.

"I love this place!" Aria said with smiles and started to be walking round the building, and watching Henry as he was climbing the staircase up and entering into the building.

Aria got free after Henry had entered into the building and they were not seeing each other again. She started walking away from that place, getting attractive to the artworks that she was seeing at different places and going to there to check them.

One hour later. Henry got back to where he parked his car under the tree with two of his course mates, and he had done with what he came there to do. Three of them were talking and so happy that they had done with their Masters. Henry stopped talking as he didn't see Aria around that place or within the vicinity at all.

"Where is this girl now? And I warned her" Henry said inside his mind and changed his look.

"Is everything okay?" One of his course mates asked as he suddenly changed his look.

"Nothing at all" Henry replied with low voice and breathes out; he brought his phone out from his pocket and wanted to all Aria while her call entered.

"Hello Henry, I am lost and I don't know where I am again" Aria said with loud voice and looking at the bush surrounded her.

"I instructed you not to anywhere or leaves this vicinity but you didn't listen now you have lost" Henry said with anger showed all over him.

"Come and help me please; I want to get out of here----"

"Shut up! Just shut up, you came to where you haven't been before and start gallivanting around. Now, how do you want me to know where you are?" Henry shut her up and she was talking.

"Just be coming down straight from that place and I think you will get where I am please, and I am sorry" Aria said silently and looking dull.

"You know what, I will be on my way now" Henry said with low voice and hanged up from the call.

"Did you come here with someone?" The second man asked.

"Nobody" Henry said with low voice and lied; the two men looked at each other and confused.

"But from your conversations, it's like you came here with someone and that person got lost or something" First man said and saw Henry's phone ringing again.

"I have to go now" Henry said as he opened the car's door and entered into the car. He started the car and driving away from that place.

"It's like Henry came here with his girlfriend and she got lost, but he doesn't want us to know" One of the men said and two of them making jest of him.

"Let go after him and so that to catch him" the man said with laugh and two of them entered into one of them's car and going after Henry.

*********

"I have been on my way and stop calling me" Henry shouted at Aria on phone.

"I am sorry, I will be waiting for you" Aria talked like gentle girl and hanged up; Henry removed the earphone from his ear and busy looking at his both left and right maybe he could see her.

After like ten minutes of driving, Henry had got upset and still he hadn't located where Aria was. His friend that followed him from behind too where so surprised and didn't understand what was going on.

"THIS IS END OF THE ROAD FOR CARS" Henry read what was written on the signboard put beside the bush and he quickly stopped the car.

"I have known that this girl will be a big disturbance in my life; what kind of sheet is this? Now I have got to the end of the road" Henry rubbed his head and picked his phone with anger showed all over him.

"Where exactly are you Fool? Because right now I have got to the end of the road so I don't know what to do anymore" Henry said with loud voice.

"I didn't know as well but I have been trying to go elsewhere maybe I will get to where could have name so that you can come and pick me. Ohhh" She shouted loudly as she was talking.

"What is it?" Henry asked with loud voice.

"I have seen a place, they wrote AN ANCIENT TOURISM. I am there now and not far from it" Aria said.

"Tourism! Oh my God, how did you get there? You know what, I am coming now" Henry started the car, turned back and leaving the place. He had really fed up and couldn't believe he would undergo this kind of stress today at all.

He got to the place after some minutes and it was not far from where he just left; He parked the car opposite to of that place and got down from the car. The tourism was inside the bush at the left hand side, so he crossed the road to that place and on call with Aria.

"Where are you? Came out from where you are now?" He said with loud voice.

"I have been coming out, these entire place is so moist so I am trying to be careful with my walking" Aria said.

"I am waiting for you" Henry said and hanged up from the call.

"Henry! Henry!! I have seen you" Aria started running and she was so happy; as she was running, her leg spilled and she fell into a deep moist.

"Come and help me please!" She raised her hands up and calling Henry; Henry breathes out and walked closer to her. He held her two hands and trying to bring her out; and also looking around him as he was doing that.

"Oh! Thank you!" Aria said with loud voice as he pushed her out and hugged him with her dirty body.

"Oh my God, what the hell is this?" Henry pushed her away with anger and looked at himself; his white t-shirt and trouser had stained badly.

"I am so sorry, I am sorry, I have forgotten that you are wearing white" Aria said with low voice and Henry looked at her like he should beat her up.

"You are such a pain in the ass!" Henry said with loud voice and really angry.

"I am so sorry, I am sorry please----"

"Just shut up" Henry shouted at her with anger, turned back and wanted to be going to his car while he jammed his course mates.

"What are you doing here and how did your cloth stained like this?" One of them asked and two of them were staring at him. As they were talking Aria had used that opportunity to enter into the car and sitting at the front seat.

"Please guys, I have to go now" He opened the car's door, entered and closed the door. He started the car and driving away from that place with anger in his body.

"Something is not right here" One of the men said with low voice and looking at his car going.

"I am sorry—"

"Please!" Henry shut Aria up as she was trying to apologize and took his eye away from him; Aria felt remorseful, folded herself together and really so sorry. As Henry was right now, it was like there was a fire on his body. He was totally zero tolerate to dirty.
