C261: Walking Around in Pieces

Dande had her head light headed. She just caught her fiancee having an affair with a co-worker. If Danded did not surprised him that time then that guy won't be caught. Her heart ache from the relationship ending. She never thought that all their time together ended as a waste. She stumbled on the park and sat crying out as she rode the swing like a mad woman. Her swing got halted by Fur and Nimrod.

Dande wiped her face and apologized for screaming and crying out loud.

"It's okay but really how can you shout like an elephant?" Fur teased making Dande more teary eyed.

"Sorry." Fur muttured.

"Teacher we are having a chicken feast do you want to eat with us?" Nimrod invited with twinkly features and big gestures.

"Sure. That sounds delicious."

When Fur brought in Dande, Ain and Kish gave him a knowing wink.

"Don't even think about it you two. This woman is a cougar." Fur said which made him receive a strong struck on the side.

Kahieli and Sycamore both addressed her as teacher that made Ain and Kish instantly bow their head.

"Thanks for having me. Nimrod invited me to eat since he said you guys are having a chicken feast." Dande politely introduced.

"Yes, No problem. It's Kish's 158th birthday Ain slipped." Dande tilt her head in confusion.

"I mean 58." Ain immediately corrected.

Agsus bowed his head to his previous teacher.

"It's been long teacher Dande." The boy greeted.

"Yes, and you grew well. You look more charming now that your in grade school unlike someone I know who runs his mouth recklessly." Dande complimented as she hissed the last part glaring at Fur.

Kish and Ain just sweatdropped as Agsus escort Dande inside.

The chicken feast was done and the kids were asleep. Dande got convinced by Fur to sleep in their guest room since it's late. She ventured toward the prayer hall and skimmed through each prayer posted on the wall. She chuckled at how cute and innocent the prayer was.

"We pleaded you to stay not as a night shift guard but a guest." Fur pointed.

"I can't sleep. I just want to walk around." Dande replied.

"So what exactly happened?" Fur inquired.

"My long time fiancee cheated on me." Dande revealed.

"What are your plans?" Fur stated.

"Cancel the engagement and move forward." Dande spoke above whisper.

"Anything else that you want to me to hear?" Fur added.

"Nothing much. Just don't fall in love for the sake of it. Choose commitment." Dande advised with her brightest smile.

"Got it. I also want you to hear this."

"Next time decide to marry for covenant not with contract. Marraige is before God and is not for any court room to judge it severed." Fur advised as he walk out and bid good night.

Dande had some unwrapping done when Fur said those words. She waited for her parents and legally settled the relationship.

"I realised that this is the best option. Let us move forward separately from now on." Dande adjourned.

Kahieli stirred the tea he prepared for his teacher. Their teacher look tired and exhausted lately. She was not gloomy but rather tired. Dande kept scratching her head that messes her hair. When Agsus, Ole, Urchin and Cherith heared from the triplets they went their way to take a glance and found her looking like an old woman who forgot the calendar.

Sycamore noticed how their teacher occasionally repeat her lesson and drop her chalk. She would dismiss the class earlier and would disappear for an ample of time.

She would return later and would look messy than before. Nimrod was bothered as well. Sycamore tried to tap her shoulder to peek on her past but was surprised when Dande suddenly collapsed.

Fur rushed toward the hospital and found Dande asleep. Sycamore and Nimrod looked depressed as Kahieli went with the others to inform Dande's household.

"There was nothing wrong with her. She does not lack sleep nor have any fatigue. I suggest that you have her be checked by a psychologist." The doctor suggested with his white gown and circular glasses.

Fur nod his head and waited for Ain to pick up Nimrod. Sycamore bowed his head and said.

"I saw her being followed by some thing ominous. I don't what is it but it's spooky."

Fur ruffled Sycamore's hair and said.

"Thanks but she is not that weak you know. She might have been fighting back for a few day before giving in."

When Dande's parents got alerted. They instantly rush toward the hospital.

The doctor have briefed them about her case and had her released since Dande insisted.

Dande slump on her bed and stared at the injection mark. She sighed and forced herself to take a warm bath while soaking she tried to recall what had her end up in such state.

It was three days after their settlement when his ex fiancee approach her and tried to convince her to save the relationship. When she refused and left him she stumbled on a the park where she sat and she smelled a spicy flavor coming from the abandoned building. Her recollection got interrupted when a knock came from her door.

Dande put on her pajama and normally eat. When she finally fall asleep. She started to see the same thing she encountered from the building.It was a woman wailing and is asking for more of her tears. Dande started crying more and more. Her voice were muted and silenced. Her eyes were producing so much liquid that it damp her pillows. She woke up feeling tired from crying.

The principal gave her some time to rest. Dande stayed home and waited time to keep moving when her phone started ringing.

"Hey, we need more help in the shop. I heared that your free." Fur started.

"Yeah right. But I don't feel like going out." Dande answered back.

"Yep that is why I came with the triplets to visit you." Fur stated.

"But you just said you need more help from the shop." Dande pointed.

"Yep. It's either or." Fur wrapped and invited himself inside.
