Chapter 4 Uncertainty to Clarity..

The next Morning I woke up with uncertainty; uncertain of what to do, where to go from here..but I have to go...I haven' no plan ...I have to get clarity today probably start with a place to stay with the small money I have...then a job

I signed, got up and entered the bathroom to do my personal business.

Dressed and packing my things, there was a knock on the door, I looked toward the door and said come in... the housekeeper opened the door and came in, she looked surprised at my packed bag but said nothing ..

Miss, the Sir wants to see you and breakfast is ready...I told her thank you, took one look at the room again making sure I am not forgetting anything ...I want downstairs entering the dining room.

Sited was Mr and Mrs Moreson, and their son...I greeted them and just stood there...then I as was just about talk...

Mr Moreson looked up, he asked you want to leave ?

Yes sir I answeref ...

Okay, but eat breakfast before you go; he saw the hesitation on my face ...and smiled you know we don't bite.

""_''.

James who has being so focused on his food, turned to look at me and said please have breakfast...

wow, someone is glad I am leaving and he is been so generous...I sat down and he passed the fried eggs bowl to me ....

After filling my plate with food, I started to eat. The table was silent for sometime...everyone eating. I suddenly felt been started at...looking up I noticed everyone had finished eating and starting at me...I cleared my mouth looking embarrassed

Mrs Moreson smiled, we have talked about you and decided....wait eyeing my packed knapsack she asked so where are you going?

I stood up, bowed my head ..I want to thank you for your kindness. it's not everyone that takes a stranger into their home but I cannot trouble you anymore, I have to go get...

You have family, friends here asked James looking at me strangely

No I answered, I want go get a job and a place to stay.

The dining room was so quite after I said that...Mrs Moreson looked at her husband again he nodded at her ...then she said we have a job for you and you can of course stay here ...

No, no no..realising that came out rudely I composed myself and refused again politely...please you don't have to go out of your way for me..I ..picking my knapsack I was already heading for the door.

Sit down...the elderly Mr Moreson said

oh ....I nervously walked back to the dining table and sat down...

James looked at his parents and said Miss Song what my parents are trying to say is that we have a vacancy at one of our shopping mart, which you can fill and as for staying here ..we do have free rooms so it's not like you are inconveniencing us.

I was surprised as such kindness, but I wasn't ready to accept their offer, I am not ready to involve them in the drama of my life..

They waited for my reply....I just continued to shake my head wordlessly

Mrs Moreson got up, walked up to ma and touched my shoulder gently...child we insist if you are so uncomfortable with staying here with us then you can get your own place after some time....just..

you remind us of our daughter..So alike.. Mr Moreson said suddenly looking straight at me

He stood up, came to stand by his wife's side, why don't you pity this old couple he said putting his hand on his wife's shoulder and accept our offer, we will not be able to sleep well knowing you are out there looking for a job and place to stay.

Tears filled my eyes, I started to shake wondering how to put my thoughts into words, suddenly realising that I have to tell them ..they wouldn't want me then ...

I got up this time with much force, Mr and Mrs Moreson had to step back because they were standing close to me. I ran toward the door, tears felling down my face ..I wanted to be out of there before the dam flowrf...as I got to the door James was standing there blocking the door way...I looked at him confused wait he should be happy I am not staying.

You cannot leave like this ...what's wrong? we offered you a job and a place to stay why are you running put of here like a scared cat?

You don't understand I said ...more tears rolling down my face. make us understand, he said

I just need to go please ...I begged

James still stood right in front of the door, Mrs Moreson walked to me, turned me around and whipped the tears from my face ..so why do you think you cannot stay here or take the job she asked or is it because you are pregnant?

I was so shocked!

But how did she know ...ahh you need to see the shock on James's face ..priceless ""_''
