They reached home, Patrick come running as always, greet Ralph while opening the car's door, then opened the girl's door. "Are you alright Miss ?" he asked her, smiling.
She also replied smiling, " Yes, how are you ?''
A bit surprise for Patrick, she wasn't nervous and was someone, who asking him about him. "fine, Miss", he said. He wanted to talk her more but didn't, as his Sir don't like him to be friendly to anyone.
They came inside, Patrick gave her some clothes and said, "You go take shower first, then come to the dinning hall for food, Mr. Cooper is waiting for you."
He left after saying that, she went to the bathroom. After 20 min she reach for food. Ralph already waiting for her on dinning table and Patrick bought up Richard. Richard and the girl glance each other but he because of his father, didn't spoke anything to her, they both cut the glance and begun to eat.
"Are you comfortable here ?" asked Ralph.
"Yes. I am. " she replied.
Richard looked at her in shocked and mused, " O great! she had a tongue."
"So, you wanna stay here ?" asked Ralph.
"Where else I can" she slowly replied.
"Well ! you can stay here or my friend runs a foster home, you can go there. If you want."
"Foster Home !" she repeated.
"mmhm..That foster home is not so big. So, amm.. I would like you to stay here with me."
She pondered," Paa knows Uncle Ralph, Its possible he might come here looking for me". "I would like to go to that foster home." She answered.
Thinking for a while he quietly replied, "Alright, If you ever feel like changing your mind, you can. Without hesitation. "
Richard watched her with surprise as he saw her speaking without being nervous and his father replying and agreeing with someone. He kept on looking both of there faces while eating quietly. After having lunch he, hiding from his father's eye, went to her room with Patrick and knock the door.
Knock... Knock. .
She took more then two min to open the door.
"Are you alright." worriedly asked Richard.
She replied nervously," Yes, I am."
He smiled atleast she replied, " Can we !" he asked gesturing her, to let them in.
She step a side and they came in. Richard observed she is panicking again, she wasn't comfortable with them like his dad.
He asked her to divert her mind, " So.... you are leaving tomorrow. Maybe. !"
"hmm"
"Shelter Home is not that big, but have every requirement one needed and Susan will take good care. You will like her." Then asked Patrick, "Isn't it, Patrick? "
Keeping his chin up he replied, "Ofcourse ! am sure. She is very polite, understanding and kind hearted. I am sure she surely take good care of you."
"Thank you" she smiled.
Richard find her little comfortable, so just to make her smile more he ask, "Can I ask you something ?"
"Yes."
In a naughty manner he asked ,"Hope you don't faint..What's your name ?"
"I am Al... Angelina. " she answered taking a pause with a bit smile.
He too smiled, " Nice nam...."
Mean while Ralph, come from behind and interrupted him, scolding, "Will you stop spying on her ?" To patrick, "Can't you stop him ?'
His whole body shook as he heard a loud shout of his Sir, "Will I take care of him !", his eyes widened, noticing what he just spoke. "Sorry, sir. I will take care of him. You don't worry" he corrected himself.
He walk out from there glaring Richard.
After a min he left Richard taunt on him, " He must be sad, seeing me happy."
"You are his son, Master. You can't say like that." said Patrick.
"I am not his but his wife's son. Don't you know that ?" He furiously replied, walk out shutting the door forcefully.
A hard thug...
And she gasped...
"I am really sorry for all this ,Miss. I think you should rest." and asked here remembering his duty, "Aa.... Do you need anything?"
"N-no am-m f-fine" she replied.
He also left the room following Richard.
She silently sat of the bed, waiting for the night.
As she was afraid of dark and almost everything, when she was about to sleep at night. She left the lights on, close all the windows and door, even the bathroom door as well. then Lay down on bed and tried to sleep but she hardly slept.
