CHAPTER 7 : AN IMMORTAL ENCOUNTER

"Where are you going?" Lindy hurriedly stood up. Not wanting to part to Siga too soon. However, the moment she stood up, Siga eyes suddenly emitted a powerful aura that made Lindy sit back. Suddenly, a strong force of gravity pulled her down stopping her from standing up.

"Please stay mother. I have finished my business here and as much as I wanted to stay, I'm afraid I do not have much time left."

"But why do you have to go? What's the hurry about!?"

"It's a long story mom. I really have to go. I love you and take care."

"But-" Unwillingness appeared in her eyes as Siga slowly turned his back.

"Mom please stay." He said as he totally walked towards the passing crowd. Her eyes remained stuck to his back as a passing woman covered the view and revealing the man gone in an instant. As if he was never there in the first place.

Suddenly a distant roar of thunder can be heard. The sky had become gray and the air felt cold. It appears like it's going to rain any minute now.

And then a sudden flash of lightning illuminated everything that Lindy sees. The people around her have already started running towards home since it was about to rain. Couples, children and tourists alike scurrying to their respective destinations. Raindrops started to fall.

"Maam are you alright? It is about to rain. You need to go or you and your baby will get soaked in rain." A security guard came to help her get to a nearby shelter. Lindy was still dazed with the questions left behind by Siga.

"Maam? Maam!" The security guard repeated. It took quite a few raindrops to her face and a sudden cry of her sleeping baby which brought Lindy back to her awareness.

"It's raining..." She finally realized.

Lindy left the park and went home with the memories of Grace whom she thought is long gone.

Ps. This is supposed to be a short story and not a novel.

Thank you for reading anyway. I hope I touched your heart with this humble novel of mine.

And thank you for being patient with my grammar and English. I wish you a good life and good day.

Please don't check my current work Blood Type: Dragon. Its a fantasy/magical realism about family, power and adventure!
