Episode 27

Dave’s POV

It was so boring lying here all day. Kira spent the night with me and she accepted my proposal to marry her. I was so happy when she accepted my proposal. All that is left is just to see her parents.

It was so boring I got up from the mattress and went outside. I wasn’t fully healed, so I could still feel pain in my stomach.

I came out of the tent and saw Kira sweeping the compound.

“Kira what are you doing?” I asked
“Sweeping” she smiled.

“We should continue our journey” I said.

“No!……” she said and I was shocked at her statement

“Why not?” I asked

“Dave look at you, you have not fully recovered. We can’t go anywhere until you are completely okay” she said

“I’m bored” I said.

“You’ll find something interesting to do” she smiled.

The weather was hot and the sun was shining really hard. I unbuttoned my floral shirt exposing my banded stomach.

“Mr Dave, you are supposed to be in bed” Daisy said.

“I got bored just lying down there all day” I said and she smiled. “Actually, if you don’t mind I would like to continue from where I stopped” I said and she gasped

“No Mr Dave, you can’t do any travelling now. You are not fully healed” she said and I sighed. “Now go back and relax” she said as she left.

Kira walked up to me and smiled.

“Just be a little patient. Tajo has promised to help us to get to the next town” she said.

“Who’s Tajo” i asked.

“He as the one that helped us at the forest” she said.

Then the thought of Mr Frank came to my mind.

“What happened to Frank” I asked.

Immediately I asked Kira turned away.

“I….I….I…..killed him” she stammered.

And I widened my eyes. I really didn’t think she would be able to take the risk.

“You did good” I said.

I knew she was scared and didn’t want to talk about it.

She turned to face me and I hugged her.

I was inside the tent when I felt a presence inside with me. I opened my eyes to see a huge looking black man standing in front if me.

“who are you?” I asked

“I am Tajo” he said.

“Oh you are the Tajo guy” I scoffed.

“I am going to take you to the next town” he said.

“That’ll be great thanks” I smiled.

It was a relief I’ll be leaving here soon
