CONFRONTATION

"E-Evandros Linya?"

She whispered under her whiff, her pupils throbbing as she blindly gaped at the dusty ground. She came to her senses when she heard Neel's cry. With her hand on the ground, she helped herself to her feet but before she could run to save him, he was already clutching her legs.

She took a deep breath of relief before kneeling on her wobbly legs and hugging the life out of the little one who was sobbing uncontrollably. She caressed his trembling back to soothe him.

Seemed like he wasn't alone.

He was with his men since she could hear them as well.

What was he doing here?

Perhaps, she was right. He was Sina's nephew.

From all the populace in the world, why does it have to be him saving her?

She kissed his cheek. Her disguise was gone the moment the man who was holding onto her mouth was lashed away from her. She rubbed her eyes to dry her wet eyelashes as she stood up on her weak legs and forwarded her arms towards him so that she could pick him up.
