"Anyone's there?" I asked loudly.
But no one respond. Suddenly my heart started beating so bad that I kind of felt like I'm in a movie and I was going to face the evil nun.
I stood up from the chair and grab one of the book wooden stick placed near the shelf.
As it was pin drop silence, I heard somebody breathing so harshly from the other side of door. My hands were trembling as I was walking towards the glass door.
But someone pat on my shoulder and said
"Mam ?" I turned around and startled to see Morris.
I accidentally fall on my back as I was dead scared.
For sometime, I become cold as ice. He leaned towards me and grab my shoulder to pick me up as I was too scared at the moment. I was wearing net shirt so he can feel the temperature of my body.
"Are you alright your body is extremely cold right now" I tried to hide my temperature and move a little far from him and brought myself carefully up from the floor. But it wasn't the end, as soon as I got up I heard someone running from the other side of glass door. It wasn't only Morris here, someone was also there. Maybe the same thief presence that I felt last time with henna. I picked up the wooden stick and ran towards him as hard as I can. I don't know why but I made a decision to catch him.
When I got off from the comic library I looked at my left and right, I saw him running towards right so I rushed towards him. He passed so many streets but at last I was able to catch him.
" don't you dare" I was breathing heavily " don't you dare to move I'm calling the cops" I wasn't able to relax my breath so I gripped the boy as hard as I can.
"Emerson you scared me to death" Morris also followed me all way to here.
"Call the cops Morris" I said to him
"Please don't mam I'm sorry I didn't intend to stole anything!" the boy said.
When I removed the hoodie cap from his face, I saw that he was nearly 13 year old Chinese boy.
"You are so Young and who taught you such cheap acts?" I yelled at him.
"Mam try to understand I didn't intend to steal anything I was just staying there late to read comics I swear" he started explaining himself. As it was dark so I can't see his face so clearly. I bring him to the light near the shop so I can see his face more deeply. I actually wanted to read his expression.
I starred at him for some seconds, Morris was observing my moves. I said
"Are you from Gucheon Orphanage?"
"how do you know ?" he asked shockingly
"I have been grew up there and I can clearly recognize this uniform" I said pointing at the uniform of boy.
"Really so do you know Miss Margaret? What's your name then?" he asked both questions right away.
I took a glance at Morris who was standing there looking at both of us, at last Morris spoke up
"Little boy are you hungry?"
...…..
"Don't tell me she still sleep walks?" I said.
Me and Jenis was laughing and making silly on jokes on Miss Margaret, the orphanage owner.
"You know what sometimes she tell us the story of your" Jenis was about to say when I poke him and said
"Something's are kept to be secret"
"Ok I got it" he said by taking a glance at Morris sitting with us. We ordered sandwiches as Jenis wish to.
"By the way you guys are siblings or in a relationship?" Jenis said.
"Look how is this kid talking about?" Morris said cheeringly "it not your age to talk about these kind of stuffs"
Jenis took a look at both us sitting at the front of him.
" I'm asking my friend Emerson about it" Jenis said.
"他是我的敌人 ( he is my enemy)" I said in Chinese.
When I looked at Morris after saying this, he looks startled for a second, maybe he was shocked to know that I can speak Chinese.
Jenis chuckles and said
"这就是为什么他表现得很奇怪 ( that's why he is kinda acting weird)" Jenis replied.
"It's not like that" I said confusingly
While Morris said looking at both of us
"Guys I'm sitting here right now don't try to ignore me" he was looking upset on our previous Chinese conversation.
