CHAPTER 4: A New Home

Looking at the ctall building in front of her, she entered inside and knocked softly at the door, there was a soft click and the door opened to reveal middle aged woman with brown hair and eyes of the same colour staring at her.

"Uhmm, Hi Aunt!" Kasela said awkwardly as she felt flustered, was she even at the right place she wondered though the description of her aunt given to her matched with the woman before her.

"I'm Kasela Winneys, I guess you are my aunt".

The woman's eyes widened at the words she said and she peered closely at her.

"You are Kasela!", the woman gasped and her eyes with unshed tears. "Oh poor child, come in".

The woman dragged Kasela in and closed the door. Dragging her further into the well furnished house, she sat her down and she began asking questions.

"Why did arrive now? We've been been waiting for a long time, how is your grandma, she hasn't spoken to us for some time now, is anything wrong? Kasela why are you crying?

Her aunt known as Mrs Geraldine asked her softly the moment she saw tears cascading down the girl's pale face.

"Aunt, Grandma is dead and while on my way here, I was kidnapped by goons but thankfully an unknown guy saved me, I lost all my possessions too. Kasela told her as she wept profusely.

Earlier when she was kidnapped, she tried to keep a strong facade but now she was in front of her aunt , she couldn't help but become vulnerable and so she wept profusely. Footsteps were heard and her aunt's husband Mr. Gabriel came down from the stairs, he saw his wife hugging a young girl, he approached them gently and noticed the girl crying.

Noticing her husband, she released Kasela and introduced her to her husband "Honey, meet my niece Kasela I informed you about. She will be staying here with us, we are now her new family and she'll also be schooling here.

Crouching down to her, the man held the down casted girl's hand and he spoke softly to her. "Don't worry, cry no more, we already made a promise to your grandmother that we will take good care of you, though iwe didn't expect that will be the last time we will speak to her and that she will pass away so soon." The man said gently and Kasela nodded her head.

Standing up, her aunt showed her her room. "You need to freshen up and come have dinner, I know you are famished, eat and have a nice sleep, tomorrow will gonna be a long day".

An hour later, Kasela lied on the bed dressed in a light pyjamas her aunt gave her, her thoughts went far as she thought about her new life, she had been brought up by her grandmother and didn't know much about life, the kidnapping incident had shooked her. Her thoughts also drifted towards the guy who has helped her and took her home, even though he acted cold and unapproachable he still helped her, she wished she had an elder brother who could also look after her and protect her and she was still terrified of the incident. She drifted off to sleep, her mind occupied with what the future held for her .

However, little did she know that this was just the beginning for her as her life will be filled with rollercoasters.
