Although I didn't knew what happened to Mira,but I knew it had to do with the recent happenings. She might have been attacked but she doesn't want to talk to me now and I understand.
I volunteered to take Nelson to school myself,it was their last day in school this term and they were to know their grades today so it was necessary.
Mira didn't want to let me go at first but I had to convince her, I told her Nelson is looking forward to seeing his grades, how can I tell him we can't go.
Honestly, I wasn't lying. Nelson was particularly enthusiastic about school these days. There were even days he would wake up himself to prepare for school.
He used to be happy when the end of term comes but this time,he wasn't happy about the holidays. The only redemption was this last day of school,how can I disappoint him?
She hasn't left her room since yesterday that Jade brought her. So I was worried she wouldn't eat if I left her by herself so I made food and made sure she ate before I leave.
I took Nelson to school and decided to hang around. I just roamed around outside the school and even went sightseeing.

" Hey". I heard him say from behind me.
It's uncle Drey. Since I saw him last time, I kept waiting until I see him again. I wanted to tell mummy but I was afraid she'd cry again. She always did when anyone mentioned daddy uncle or grandma.
I soon saw him again and since then he's been keeping my company almost everyday unless he had something to do. He also told me not to let my mummy and sister Mira know that I saw him. I promised him.
" You came". I hugged him.
" It's your last day in school, how could I not come?". He smirked.
" When will I see daddy?". I asked for the uptenth time.
" He's busy now, he'll see you when he's done. Daddy can't see anyone now, I told you". He always said that when I asked about daddy.
" I will not see you during the holidays, I'm so sad".
" Of course you'll see me, don't worry,ok?".
" Really, you'll come?".
" Not exactly. Why don't you go get your result first, I want to see your grades".
" Alright, it's just that I'm a bit nervous".
" Our little boy is nervous,but you don't have to be. I believe you'll do well".
" Yes, hurray. Let's go get the result". I jumped up and ran off.
" Fighting". I heard his faded voice behind me.

I was window shopping in a building complex when I heard a gunshot. I was terrified, I almost fainted. I felt someone pulled me from behind into a cabinet. I was even more scared, I was trembling. I had to take several deep breaths before I got my sense of hearing back.
I heard gunshots firing. It seemed as though two teams were facing each and exchanging fire. I sighed in relief and frustration.
' i was not the target this time,it was coincidence'. I was almost happy until I thought that it was a dangerous situation either way.
I tried hard to keep my breathe steady, I tried not to panic,for my baby's sake.
The shooting soon stopped and everywhere was silent. Too silent than I was comfortable with.
I felt someone open the cabinet door from outside, I was so scared that I fainted.
" Are you alright. Hey, can you hear me? Wake up, please". Those were the words I heard when I regained consciousness.
I slowly opened my eyes and a face came to view. The face was familiar but I didn't think I know the person.
" Who are you?". I asked trying to sit up. At least I knew he wasn't one of the bad guys. I was still on the floor beside the cabinet.
" I,we met once in a store, you were there shopping with your friend".
My forehead was wrinkled from overthinking before I could place the face.
" Ah yes, I remember. It was you,who picked out a dress for me in a store. That stranger".
" Yes, I guess so. But I'm not exactly a stranger anymore,am I?".
" What".
" I'm your savior". He grinned cheekily.

After getting the result, I couldn't bear to open it so I went to meet Uncle Drey in our meeting spot. He helped me open it and tada,it was great, I was so happy, I felt like I was floating.
" I knew you'd do well".
" Right, right. I can't wait to show mummy". I continued jumping happily.
" Take this". I stopped to catch my breathe before stretching out my hand. He handed me a wrinkled paper,the was a number scribbled on it.
" If you want to see me, just text me on that number. But there are some rules".
" What".
" You can only text with your own number. You can only text, not call. You can only text me once a day".
" So strict. Anyway, it's good that I can text you, will you reply me?".
" I don't know. But I'll definitely read it".
