EMILY'S POV

The villagers were aware that a team from the city would come and help them,and the women quickly gathered to prepare a feast. They had worked tirelessly, cooking up a storm in the kitchen.

The sun casted a warm glow over the village,it was already close to evening time,the women happily presented their sumptuous foods. They served the team with warm smiles and lively atmosphere.

We all sat round tables, enjoying the welcoming atmosphere. I decided to help the older women to serve the food,then there was a sudden silence. The chatting and laughter seemed to fade into the background as a tall, imposing figure appeared from a distance.

My jaw dropped on seeing him, ‘How come? Why was he here?’ I asked internally. He was the reason there was silence in the yard. The people gazed at him intently as he stood in his aura,his shoulders broad and chiseled features command respect, his eyes searching the area as it finally landed on me.
