Nana Seling [PART 2]
Dazaree woke up early today because of her plan to talk to Nana Seling. She wanted to thank her for everything she has done for her. She is on her way out of her room when she saw Fablo walking towards her. As usual, the man looks grumpy as if he hates the world but that is his usual self.
Although Dazaree feels awkward talking to him, she decided to approach him bravely. She bit her lower lip and awkwardly greeted him, "Goodmorning!" because she doesn't want to ignore him.
She's still hoping that if she tries to talk to him, they might be close to each other. She just really wants them to be friends but Fablo didn't think the same way.
Fablo just stared at her and passed because it's not her thing to greet people. He doesn't like making friends too. Why does he need to anyway? For him, people will leave and go, furthermore, he can't trust the woman who suddenly appeared in front of them in the middle of the woods.
Fablo is usually like this but Dazaree felt embarrassed because he ignored her making her awkwardly smile.
It seems like it wouldn't be easy for her to make friends with the guy. She just hopes that the guy doesn't hate her though. That thought made her heaved a deep sigh.
When she looked in front of her, she saw Troye walking towards her. The guy smiled at her making her automatically smile too. It is because his smile is so gentle and genuine that anyone who would see it will smile too. Dazaree sees him as an angel because of his kindness.
She immediately approached him to ask, "A-ahm, I'm not really familiar with this apartment and I'm looking for Nana Seling. Where can I find her?" and then scratched her head. At least she has Troye who is very nice and approachable.
"Her room's on the first floor," he answered.
Compare to Fablo, this man is really lively and innocent looking.
"I'm really glad you're here," Dazaree smiled sweetly. Now she wouldn't be lost because someone nice will tour her around.
Troye chuckled and replied, "I was about to go to visit you. Nana Seling wanted to know how you're doing."
"I'm doing great now, thanks to you!" she leaped to prove him that she's really okay now. She has a lot of energy today and probably that is because she has a goal to achieve and that is to find a job.
"That's good."
Dazaree remembered something suddenly and queried, "Oh by the way. Speaking of Nana Seling, I need to talk to her."
"You sure you're fine? Her room is downstairs so you might--"
"Don't worry about me! I'm fine," she cut him out.
Troye beamed at her and said, "Alright." He thought that Dazaree is a really nice girl and he didn't regret bringing her here.
They walked downstairs and he insisted to support Dazaree because he fears that she might trip because she just got her energy back from sickness. He guided Dazaree on their way and told her that their room is just in the same floor as her which is the third floor.
Troye told her that Nana Seling is a really nice old lady that helped them since the beginning and the largest room in the apartment was Nana Seling's that occupies the whole first floor. The apartment is old but really nice and cozy. There are several pots of plants in every corner of the apartment too.
When they arrived at Nana Seling's room, they knocked three times. It didn't take long for someone to reply from the inside.
The door opened and a pretty woman who seems like in her 40 years of age came out. "It wasn't Nana Seling? Based on what Troye said, Nana Seling was an old woman," Dazaree thought in her mind.
"She's Nana Seling," Troye whispered, which shocked her. She didn't expect the woman to look this good.
"Oh, it's you!" She said and smiled. "Dazaree, right? I'm Seling, but you can also call me Nana Seling." She opened the door widely and let them in.
"Oh nice meeting you, Nana Seling. I'm really thankful to you. Thank you so much for helping me make it through the night. I don't know what I'd do without all of you." She felt her cheeks warmed as her eyes became teary.
She remembered what happened that night leaving her no home and a family to call.
"You should sit first," the woman said when she noticed the sudden change of her emotion.
They both sat on the large grey sofa in the sala which Seling pointed.
"You know Dazaree, you remind me of Fablo and Troye when I first met them. Helpless.I can't turn a blind eye to kids like you. And, I knew this day will come." she said and smiled sweetly before sitting on the couch in front of them.
"What do you mean Nana?" she queried. She's kind of confused when Seling said that she knew this would happen.
Seling bit her lip before answering, "I mean, Troye and Fablo are really nice kids. I knew they would help someone like you just like what they did when they were kids," and then chuckled.
"You helped someone before too?" Dazaree asked Troye when she gazed at him.
He scratched his head and smiled. "Kind of." He answered.
Troye really is a kind person. Suddenly, Dazaree remembered the guy who saved her in the forest. How she wish that he is okay now after what happened.
Knowing she's the one who caused his injure makes her feel guilty and worried. Troye looked at her as he can hear her worried thoughts. He couldn't help but get worried of Kithe too. He saved him once and he couldn't do anything to help him right now.
Meanwhile, Nana Seling had an idea.
"Troye, invite the others. We should eat breakfast together to welcome Dazaree!" she said and stood up.
