Mona lay down after taking her medicines and the nurse says good night before leaving. She couldn't fell asleep as it was her habit to stay awake until one o'clock. She always wanted to stay away from the reality.
She thought it will be dark just like her room but then she saw many lights from the window in the front. It was the lights of the city it was lighting like stars with difference colors.
She was never seem this view because she always stay away from crowded places.
She sat back on her bed looking at the view.
She felt cold again but not the cold she always feels it was the cold inside her heart the loneliness and darkness.
Next day as she was eating her breakfast which the nurse have serve her as she tooks a bite suddenly she heard some noises outside her room and suddenly the door open it was her parents.
Her mother was on tears when she saw her sitting weakly in her bed she sits in the bed and hug her tight. As she hugs her Mona, Mona gives her a hug back she couldn't remember the last time she have hugged her mom so tight.
As she was hugging she could see her father talking to the doctor in panic and then her father called her mother to have a talk. Then the doctor closed the door of Mona's room as if it was closed intentionally.
Her parents left after talking to Mano abit. Mona was just sitting in her bed when a nurse came and asked if she need anything.
Mona asked her to take her to the hospital garden the nurse agreed and took her there.
Mona sits on an empty bench as the sun was setting the sun rays were falling on her she was feeling warm the garden was fully of colorful flowers. She could see olderly people chatting happily. She closed her eyes and was enjoying the sun bath.
When she suddenly heard foot steps she turn to look it was Charles. As Charles sat on the other end of the bench he tells the nurse that he will take care of her from here. And the nurse leaves.
It was a awkward silence between them and the position they were sitting made them look like strangers. Mona break the silence as she ask.
"Why did you do that " says Mona as she lower her head and stares at the ground.
" what do you mean " says
Charles.
" why did you helped me back then "
" why? I was crossing by and saw you is it wrong to help a person in trouble"
Mona says nothing on this but then she asked.
" why are you here then "
" You see since i saved you i thought to make you my slave "
Mona eyes widened as she stared at the ground sitting still She didn't expect this suddenly.
She have when through so many things. It feels like she could just like through people. Some will say they want to be friends and use you until your useless, some will say they will hear you pain but increase your pain and leaves to suffer it.
She don't want to go thought it again so she was about to say no.
When Charles says.
" I think you have a good taste so you could become my bread slave "
Mona turn to look at him with her eyes shining she could see him smiling. It was the first time that someone was interested to talk about her hobbies and giving her a change to express herself. She thought.
" Is this feeling called love that people always talk about "
Somehow her heart was beating fast that she hear and feel it but she shake those feelings away a feeling like this was far away from her.
" You might don't know but i have many slave for many things like water slave, cold drink slave, or coffee slave and thought you are suitable for bread " Said Charles as he laugh.
Mona starts to laugh on hearing it she somehow felt it was funny as Charles looks at her smiling seing her laughing was so rare that he couldn't slip this opportunity to look at her.
Mona turn at him and says
"i heard that you will be discharge after two days, well.. Will you be coming to school " Ask Charles as he looks away.
it was a little silence when Mona says " I will , i have to anyway or you might miss the change to taste the wonderful breads i know" Says Mona as she smile happily it must have been a long time she have smiled So beautifully.
