CHAPTER 2

I had really good time with everyone.

After lunch, I decided to clean dishes, but....

Aliza: You don't have to do. I can do it.

Cecilia: But I want to help.

Aliza: You should rest. You must be tired from all the traveling.

Samantha: Yes, dear, you should rest now. We will do the cleaning.

Its was of no use. i was just disturbing their works...i felt like this....

Cecilia: Are you sure?

Samantha: Yes dear

Simon will take you to your room

Samantha turns his face towards Simon but his chair was empty.

Samantha: Now where he has gone?

What should i do?

sigh.

Sara: I can show her.

Aliza: Do you even know where is her room?

Sara:Yes! I know it's on the upper portion on the right side. I also helped to clean it.

Samantha: Alright, Sara will show you. if you don't have any problem.

Cecilia: Of course, I don't..

Sara get up from his chair and grabs my skirt from the corner.

Sara: Let's go!!

I keep following her, she keeps talking about different things. she told me how much she loves Samantha and Aliza. Aliza gave her candies but Samantha gets angry whenever she eats too much candies.

Sara: Here is your room.

She stands in front of a room and points towards it.

Cecilia: Thank you so much cutie pie.

she smiles and runs away to another room.

Sara: it is Simon's room.

if you get inside his room he will get very angry and he gets very scary.

His room is near to my room but it is in a darker corner.

Cecilia: Do you know why he is like that?

Sara: hmm....no..no idea..always like that.

Cecilia: well, where is your room?

Sara: My room is a secret.

she giggles and runs out of the stairs.

Well... let's check my room. I said to myself.

I opened the door and went inside. The first thing i notice was the big window of the wall size in my room. I can see outside clearly. The swinging trees because of the wind.

Everything is really beautiful.

I looked at the bed and it was a king size bed..and there are lamps at the side tables and on the other side there was an attached bathroom.

I set on the bed and it was so soft, after laying here for a few seconds, I fell to sleep.

Knock! knock! knock!

Suddenly, I got up from my sleep because of the knocking on my door. I rubbed my eyes and tried to set my hair.

What time it is....yawn...

Knock!! knock!!

Cecilia: come in!

it was Simon. He was knocking on my door. I felt his aura. It was cold but you can also fine the warmth. Its felt strange , whenever he is around me.

Simon: Samantha is waiting for you at dinner.

what!

Cecilia: Dinner! what is the time. i..i just had lunch..

Without any response, He gets out of my room and closed the door behind him.

Cecilia: ugh...

I tossed on my bed then I fell into the sleep again.

Next-Day

Cecilia: mmm....

I have slept for so long.

But its bed faults it is so soft....yawn..

I want to sleep again...

I should get change and meet everyone at the breakfast.

Knock! Knock! Knock!

i opened my door.

Aliza: Good morning

I have brought your breakfast.

Cecilia: Thank you,..b...but I was just coming. I thought I would have breakfast with everyone else.

Aliza: But everyone had breakfast.

Cecilia: Oh....

Aliza: If you want I can have breakfast with you.

Cecilia: Really! yeah! I will love it.

We had breakfast together. Actually, I have breakfast. Aliza was just giving me company and we talked about different things. she tells me about herself. She is Samantha's nephew. and it's her 5th year in this cabin. She even tells me about Simon. she said Simon is working here before her and he is always kind of mysterious. He doesn't talk much.

After having breakfast, We went to the hall.

Samantha: Morning dear, did you sleep well?

Cecilia: yes, best sleep ever

I looked around and saw Simon sitting on the chair and reading a book.

Cecilia: umm...Do you like reading?

I asked him and sit beside him.

He looked at me after a few seconds, he nodded.

Cecilia: I also like reading and writing.

And silence...

Cecilia: um...wh..which is your favorite book?

Again silence...

During that time, Aliza brings tea for everyone.

Aliza: Here a cup of tea for everyone!

Cecilia: Thank you.

Samantha: I should check out where is Sara.

Aliza: okay! I'm not gonna save tea for you!

Aliza: Cecilia, tell me how old are you? and what are your hobbies?

Cecilia: Well. I'm 17 years old and my hobby is reading.

Aliza: interesting... I'm 21 years old.

I was talking with Aliza, but I kept thinking about Simon.

Cecilia: A...and how old are you?

I was just trying to communicate with Simon, but he keeps reading his book.

Simon: I don't remember.

well I don't know what to say to him

Aliza smacked his arm.

Aliza: He is kidding. He is 22 years old.

Cecilia: Oh, I see...

5 years older than me. I smile to myself.

Aliza: Simon?

He stopped reading and he looked at me.

Simon: Yes, 22 ...

And then I looked at his eyes....his luminous eyes. His eyes are magical I can't look away and I starts blushing...

Simon:well...Ummm

I started to play with the hem of my sweater. I was getting nervous...

Samantha walks in with Sara.

Samantha: Simon, I guess it's your time of work. What are you still doing here.

Simon closed his book and put it on the table. He got up from his seat and gets out of the hall.

Cecilia: Is there anything I can do to help you?

Samantha: No dear, you should relax and enjoy your stay.

Cecilia: are you sure?..I think. I'm going for a walk

Sara: Please don't go far....it is a forest and there are also wild animals just keep near the cabin...

Cecilia: Sure

I went outside and it was raining..

The sky was covered with black clouds.

I can't walk around like that...

well, I didn't look around inside the cabin. I think I should check every room in this cabin.

well, there is a dining hall and there is a kitchen and these rooms on the left sides must be Samantha's and Aliza...

And this one must be josh's room

I looked at the door and knock on it after a few seconds, I opened the door and went inside. It was empty.

It's not his room.

I get out of the room and shut the door behind me.

Sara: Hey!

What are you doing here?

Cecilia: oh Sara I am just looking around

Sara: Did you found something interesting?

Cecilia: umm...no..I guess

Sara: oh...

Sara was carrying a book. I looked at it closely..it looked like a really old book

Cecilia: Where did you find it?

Sara: Oh this book!

It is Simon's book.

it was in the kitchen.so Samantha said I should give it back to him.

Oh, I'm going late Samantha says she will give me chocolate and she goes away.

well, I guess I am alone again...

hmm, I should call mom and dad.

I checked the pockets of my skirt but no luck. It must be in my room.

I went in my room and checked my cell.

oh there are no signals.

ugh.

I should ask Samantha about it

and I get out of my room.
