The real play begins

Kate pushed her doubts away and walked towards the couple. When taking a closer look they doesn't seem like someone acting. They were like if they stand there for an another minute they would faint.

Kate, who approached them in a low voice,

" Madam,May I?", she asked in a polite way before offering them a hand. She doesn't want to offend them.

" Thank you dear, It's just We need some shelter. Can you bring us to the pavilion?", The old man asked.

" Sure, I can", kate took the old lady's hand and wrapped her another arm around her shoulder. She led the way, while the old man was following closely.

After getting into the pavilion, they remained silent for a while. She want to ask them, but given the situation, she remained silent to give them Sometime to calm down and get rest. She had a little bottle of water. She lend it to them. They took it with no hesitation.

After seeing them relaxed and refreshed. But she still doesn't think asking them is appropriate. She hesitated as she turned her gaze away from them.

The old couple who noticed the awkwardness of Kate, began, " Child, I know you wanna ask Something. You can ask. Don't hesitate."

Not expecting something like this, She get starled for a second.

" No, No, Not at all. I was just thinking, What happened to you that you look tired. It's not like, I am suspecting, But this is a venue specially prepared for a championship. And you look like outsiders and more upon, You guys were tired. Just thinking. You don't need to answer me if I put you in an awkward spot."

Giving a little smile, the old man continued, " Child,You have a good observation, like a golden Hawk.Are you a participant in the championship?"

" Yes, Sir. I am.", She replied.

" you look too young, how old are you actually?", He asked.

" I am 13.", Came from her.

" You can relax a bit. It's not like, we are going to eat you up. And, You need not to be formal. Afterall, we are not that important. You can be as usual as you can.", He said to ease her mood.

" Oh, Thank you, sir. May I know if you need any. I am free by the way. Even though I am not that familiar with the place, Atleast I can help you with whatever you want.", She said without showing any changes in her face. It was not that evident that she is still holding her guard up.

" This is my wife. We actually came here for work. As you see, They need a lot of hands to get things done for the championship. We came to help but we actually lost our room card. Without that, We can't access anything. That is why you found us lost.", He added.

All this time, when the conversation between Kate and the old man was going on, The lady accompanied him was staring at Kate as if she was hypnotized not to take her eyes off her.

" Oh, I don't know how staff system works. But as far I know this place, As long as you turn yourself to the administration office, they may help you. If you don't mind, may I take you there to go through the formalities.", She said as she felt a little geniuneness in their words.

" It's already far from here. We can go around. Don't waste your time on us. Why do you need to bother. You already helped us by guiding us. We can make it. ", The old man said.

" I insist sir. What if, it takes long. Look at madam, she is already tried. After finding the things I can simply leave it to you. I am accompanying you and that's final. If I were your child, will you resist my assistance. Take it in that way.", Kate stood up and she helped the lady to stand. She also grabbed the bag the old man was holding.

Without waiting, She began to walk the old lady towards the direction of the administration office.

After a couple of minutes, they got to the administration office.

" Sir, If you want,you can take some rest. It is not necessary for you to get in and wait. I will go and ask around about the issue. till then, be here.", Kate said while making them take seats.

" Child, we are not that weak. We can take things on from here onwards. you already did a lot for us.", The lady spoke out after all this time.

" Madam, As I said, I insist. You can't ignore your child's patronage to you right. Take me as your child. and stay here. I will be back in short minutes.", She said as she looks around for finding someone from the committee to talk about. As she can find anyone, she went inside the office to look for someone.

And she finally found someone from the committee.

" Sir, May I have a word with you?", Kate said.

The staff turned and took a glance of her.

" Yes, you can.", he replied while he was checking his mobile.

" May I know how can a staff can get access to their access card when they lost it.", She asked...

" You wanna know, What price will you pay for it. And moreover, you look too young. How can I believe you are not a intruder.", He questioned...
