Chapter 9: Show Yourself

Alwen Cris

I just smiled at her and turned back into my tracks while Hannah was following me. I took her to where the music instruments were and she was totally speechless to what she was seeing. I could see some excitement in her eyes before she looked at me which I just nod at. I am not sure why I suddenly felt like she's my daughter when she looked at me as if she's asking a permission to touch my things. Her eyes sparkle like a gem in her excitement. She's totally looked like a kid before my eyes. But what caught my attention when she grabbed my acoustic guitar and began on strumming. I felt like she never touched any instruments from a very-very long time.

'She's one of the street rats that we gave shelter and a job when we start the farm, Milady.'

"No wonder she looked like an excited kid around my instruments." I finally understood the reason why she's acting like that and thanks to Olga for reminding me about it.
