The Adventure

Angel took the train to the hillside village, she entered the train and sat on the seat beside the window and opened one of the snacks and started to nibble it slowly. she stared at the vast land from the clear glass, she remembered Ash and their childhood together, the dinner day and how they danced on the hall, the black rose and how Ash talked to it, she started remembering his handsome body and face and from these all memories she smiled. The train stopped at the hillside railway she got down from it and took a bus to the seven miracle gardens. The bus was bumping from a minute to another because of the rugged road. At last it arrived its destination, Angel stepped down from the bus with her backpack and started walking towards the gardens. She found a friend going to the same place and they started to talk to each other, Angel started the talk by asking

"By the way what is the story of these seven gardens?''

Sofia replied looking at the springy colorful gardens

"Each one of these gardens has its own flower colors and its own meaning, each person believes in one of the meaning and lives in the area around it. Do you want me to tell you if you want?''

Angel knocked yes,

Sofia continued "the 1st one has the white lilies and means purity, the 2nd is red roses and resembles passionate love and sacrifice, 3rd one is green grass and is resilience or youth, 4th is yellow tulip and resembles joy, 5th has purple flowers and is dignity, 6th is blue that resembles hope and at last is the one that grows in it all the flowers I told you before and it shows unity.''

Angel smiled when she thought of the second garden and which is love.

Angel and Sofia separated when Sofia went to the first garden, Angel continued her journey to the second garden. She arrived the second garden gate, as she opened the gate she took a deep breath and entered and stood frozen of the amazing sight of the vast red roses' garden.

She went to the small red house and knocked the old wooden door, an old woman opens the creaking door and welcomes her, "Oh hello little lady what can I help you? "

Angel answered in a lower voice smiling "grandma I am here to find Ashton, does he live in this house?''

The old woman became shocked and bent her head down crying.

Angel became scared and said "grandma is there something wrong? Where is Ashton?"

The old lady looked towards Angel with her weak reddish eyes filled with tears

"my dear son, oh my dear son, he told me that he will come to me but the bus he came with crashed because of the bumpy road and he had hold a sum of money and the ambulance sent him to Mexico for medication, they told me that his injury is hard, oh my dear son'' ,she answered weeping.

Angel covered her mouth, tears went down and in a sudden she looked up to the sky and shouted "NO'' and fell down on the ground fainted...

Angelina's eyes opened to find herself on the bed in the small house, she sat on the bed and looked around and found the old woman boiling a soup and bringing it to her.

Angel smiled and took a sip from the soup and started to talk to herself "oh my dear what should I do now?''

Angel turned to the old woman and asked "oh grandma do you know where exactly in Mexico Ash is?''

The woman replied "no my dear, I don't know but his friend is the one who gives me news about my son, I can give you his number if you need it.''

Angel took the number and thanked the old woman. She packed her backpack and went out of the house, she went to the bus station and took a bus to the airport. As she was on the bus she remembered the news her father was watching, the one that was about the bus that crashed having Ash in it and her tears went down.

"Oh Ash I am really sorry for not listening you, if I had listened you, you would neither got out of the house nor got in the accident, I will do as much as I can to find you.''

The bus stopped at the airport, Angel stepped down, went to the reception and booked her ticket to Mexico. The flight time arrived, Angel went in the airplane, sat in the seat and clutched the seat belt and looked towards the window with a hopeful smile. The airplane started to fly towards Angel's target.

Angel opened her wallet to see how much money she got and she found that she only have 50$ and that is not enough for staying a week and finding a person in a vast city like Mexico. She decided to call her dad when she arrives Mexico.

At last she arrived to Mexico. it was not new for her to visit Paris because she had visited it before. She walked to a nearby café and ordered coffee. She sat down on table beside the window looking outside thinking of what to do. As she was thinking she stared at a bus going on the road, Angel's eyes opened widely, there was an advert of a website named "FIND ME!'' on the internet which helps people find their friends location. She returned to herself when she heard the cling of the mug on her table and the waitress asking her if she needed anything else, she asked her if the café provided Wi-Fi service.

The waitress answers, "ya sure we have but you will pay for it'',

Angel accepted and took the Wi-Fi password from her. Opened her laptop and entered the website. The website asked about the person information you are finding, she typed that his name was Ashton and he was from California and he came to Mexico for medication from an accident and so on….

The website showed her the loading sign, she was so excited to find where he was and at last, she founded him. He was in "Marta first aid and emergency cases hospital''.

Angel packed all her things in her backpack, put the 50$ in the checkbook and ran towards the bus station, she was running smiling and full of hope. When she arrived there, she went to the ticket window the assistant asked her to pay 2$ for the ticket, she inserted her hand in her pocket and find that she has only 1$ and the rest she had paid for the café. She walked in hurry to find a public telephone and she found a one, she entered and inserted her 50cents and pressed the house telephone number.

Angel's dad was having his usual coffee and watching the TV and suddenly the telephone rang. Angel's dad picked it up, "hello''

"Hello, dad it's me Angel! I want from you dad to send for me money, I am with my friends in Mexico and I spent all my money, so please dad send it now I need it in hurry dad''

"Wowo stay calm Angel, what's happening? Are you fine?''

"Ya dad I am fine just send for me to a bank that is near to me mmm...'', Looking around, "There it is, USA international bank ok dad''

Before her dad could answer, the call had cut. She returned the phone and sat on a bench and started thinking of how to apologize from Ash, suddenly her phone pops up a message, she opened it and read it, it was a message from the bank that she has received 300$ from California, she smiled and stood up, went to the bank, took the money and went to the railway station. She took her ticket and entered the train and sat on a seat beside the window and here the journey again starts with more adventures waiting for her.

Will Ash and Angel return together again? Will their love end here or go longer? ….
