I LIKE IT HERE

Shamim holds Ella's hand as they walk in the house, both were smiling at each other. Lola and Malik were enjoying the scene, they seem to bond so quick and it was good for Ella.

"Your boy seems to really like her already, look at how he smiled at her and took her in like a real brother." Lola says smiling at the young ones as they disappeared into the house.

"He might really be mad if he finds out Ella is not his sister." Malik sighs. "What's the point anyways, blood does not really matter. The kind of relationship you have does."

"I am so happy now, I don't think we should allow Ella go back to that house." Lola says and faces Malik. "Earlier when I went to the house, I saw the note Vivian left her."

"Really? What did it say?"

"She just left her, without any reasons. She left the poor girl without any reasonable or clear reasons."

"What?" Malik asks in disbelief. "But she seems to really love and care about her the other day, why would she just leave her in this place without any reason?"

"I can't seem to fathom that too, only her knows the reason behind her act. She even dropped all the documents to Ella's asset and the master card to a bank account."

"If she did all that, then something or someone must be behind all her actions. She didn't act alone. Do you think I should look for her?"

"No!" Lola retorts. "Please do not do that. It might be bad for Ella."

"Alright, I think you should go home now. You have been through a lot today."

"No, I will make something for you people to eat. While I was at Ella's place earlier today, I packed all the perishable things. So I will just be buying few more things."

"I see." Malik murmurs shyly. "That is so thoughtful of you."

"Let's hurry in, Ella isn't with her jotter and pen, she might not be able to express herself well."

"Yes that's true. Let me go get her pen and jotter from the car."

Malik walks quickly to the car to pick the pen and jotter from the car, Lola's eyes follows him admiring his body physique. Immediately he turns back to walk towards her, she removes her gaze and stares at the building.

"Let's go in." Malik says.

"Please help me with Ella's box so I can carry the food items." Lola pleads.

"Sure." Malik folds the jotter and pen into his back pocket and walks to Lola's car. The boot opens when Lola pressed the button on her key holder. Flexing his muscle, he picks up both the food items and Ella's bag.

Again, Lola admired him. His biceps were amazing and Charmimg that she even imagines holding them but it was all an imagination. "Isn't it too heavy for you to carry?"

"Not at all ma'am." He says with a smile as they walk to the entrance of the building. "It will be rude for a pretty woman like you to be carrying something when I am here."

Lola smiles shyly. Both of them enters the sitting room and Malik gently drops the luggage he was carrying. Shamim had already given Ella a pen and paper to write whatever she wants to say. They were having a very good conversation as they were seen smiling and grinning from ear to ear.

The adults exchange glances and smile as they saw the kids having a very nice time together.

"I am so happy they are getting along together, this is so lovely to watch." Lola says with a big smile.

"Me too, Shamim doesn't really like making friends. He is always alone but I wonder why he just likes and cares for Ella all of a sudden." Says Malik as he watch the children conversing.

"Let's not disturb them, you can move Ella's luggage to one of the rooms. I will go and prepare something for us to eat."

The word eat already made Malik very happy and excited. "Alright no problem." He obeys Lola's instructions.

Lola heads straight to the kitchen, and just as she has predicted, he didn't really have much in his kitchen. If not for what she had already packed from Ella's house they might have nothing to eat. The kitchen was in a very good state, so she didn't have much work to do, all she did was to arrange the food items she had brought and start preparing something.

After the cooking was done, everyone assembles at the dining table as they watched the food being serve with a lot of saliva in their mouths. It smells so nice and the appearance was appealing.

Ella loves pasta so she would eat more, but the way she saw what Lola had prepared, she might eat two plates. Even without tasting it, they all knew it would taste so good.

She was done with the serving, she takes her seat and says. "Please eat up."

"The food looks so delicious." Shamim says loudly.

"Thanks for the food, I really appreciates." Malik whispers.

"No, please don't thank me. I should be the one thanking you taking Ella in. I really appreciate you."

"Ella!" Shamim calls loudly getting the attention of his dad and Lola. "Open your mouth." He says holding a fork filled with pasta. Ella opens her mouth a little and he spoon feeds her. "Do you like the taste?"

Ella nods with a big smile and writes. "I like it here! Everyone seems to like and care for me."

"What are you talking about? I am your brother, why won't I care for you?" Shamim asks.

Ella smiles briefly, she knows they weren't related at all. All of those siblings talks were nothing but beautiful lies, Malik said that to avoid unnecessary questions and doubts.

"He is right Ella, siblings Care for themselves, I am sure you care for him too." Lola says trying to lighten up the mood again.

Ella nods and writes. "I care for him too, I want to go and ease myself."

"Alright, you can go to the third room upstairs, that would be your room henceforth." Malik says with a big smile.

Ella nods and gently walks away, picks up her phone without anyone noticing and walks to the third room upstairs as she had been instructed. The room has a big bed and a nice beautiful bed frame. The wardrobe had nice patterns on it too. But all of those weren't Ella's problem, she enters the toilet and locks the door.

She turns on her phone and the first thing she saw was Abdullah's calls, but she didn't bother to call him back because she couldn't speak. Instead, she tries calling Vivian again.
