Williana

Edd and Joe were sitting in the dark room, light from laptop screen is flickering on their faces.

Soon after Ruby crossed a big tree, a black shadow appeared on the screen, the person covered himself in black blanket. It was not easy to recognize, half of the face is hidden under blanket and on eyes there were big black spectacles.

"let me deal with this." Edd said while yawning

"Wait don't act recklessly. Let me confirm first. if this person belong to that group then it's not that easy to deal with." Joe explained and then moved his pinky finger in the air.

A big stone out of nowhere suddenly come in front of the person. The person tripped over and fell down, the blanket also dropped revealing the beautiful face of a middle aged women.

Joe's eyes frowned but he continued staring at laptop screen.

Ruby was walking casually around the book shelves, she was checking different books from different shelves randomly. Suddenly her eyes got stuck on certain special book. The book looks like an old ancient manuscript with a metallic bronze cover. There was a lot of dust on the cover as if this books is not touched from decades.

Ruby picked up the book and at that very moment the whole book shelf tilted as if it is going to fell on her.

The middle aged lady was quick enough to hold it on time. Because of her instant reaction her blanket that was covering her face dropped down.

Ruby knows that she is the person who was following her from so many days, and now the way she helped her clearly shows that she is not an enemy.

"Take care of yourself my child" she said in an overly protective voice and then turned around to move.

but Ruby hold her hand and asked, "You have been following me from past so many days. Who are you? and what do you want? "

"Williana's heart skipped a beat when she heard that Ruby knows she was following her. She wanted to make an excuse and left the place, but her eyes betrayed her and a drop of tear fell from them.

Ruby hold her from her shoulder and helped her sit on a bench then she fetched a glass of water for her.

Williana looked towards her and said, "I.... I.... " sob sob 😭 she was not able to speak anything as she was continuously crying.

After crying her heart out for a few long minutes, she finally said, "Ruby, my child I am your mother. I am the one who gave you birth, you are my flesh and blood. Due to some reasons I was not able to raise you up and because of family pressure I abandoned you but my heart doesn't allow me to leave you that's why I always visit you in your orphanage as a visitor but this month when I went there I found that you are selected for high school A, so to see you I came here. I am sorry my child I am really really sorry. "

Ruby felt awkward to hear all this but at the same time she felt happy that at least she has someone in the whole world who is her family and when she heard that her mother cared about her and she visit her in the orphanage also, she felt warmth inside her.

Ruby coaxed her mother and then after talking for who knows how many hours, they both left the place happily
