THE MYSTERIOUS JOURNEY

CHAPTER SIX

Mumma!! Yes I was the mother of these two little angels Michael and Nora

Michael was 3 years old little boy ... And Nora was 4 years old girl ...
Both having light brown eyes just like their father

" mumma you were suppose to meet us yesterday ... You promised us that you will meet us on  every sunday, then why didn't you come " Nora asked putting the most cute face up

''I am sorry baby, forgive me this time I wont repeat this again" I said holding Michael in my arms

" its okay mumma, I am very hungry now ... Let's go and have lunch " Nora said holding my fingers

We went to the dinning area where Madonna had already set the table ... We had our lunch and after lunch I played with both of them ....

"Who wants to listen to a bed time story ?" I asked both of them

"Meee.... "Michael came  running and throwing himself upon me whereas Nora was silent standing there

"What happened to my little princess??'' I asked Nora
" you don't want to hear the story"

" no .. You will tell the story and when we are asleep you will leave us again and go" she said looking hurt

My heart broke at her  innocent words ... They were little kids and just like any other child they also deserved mothers love and wished to stay with their mother.
I couldn't answer her question... Tears flowing down ... I hugged them both

" why can't you stay with us?? .... Why do you leave us and go??... We miss you soo much??..." Michael's innocent questions were killing me ... I had no answer to their question

"Madonna take them inside, I need to leave " I said Madonna .. She was the caretaker of the house and chidren both ...
  Nora and Michael were holding my legs not letting me go
" please let me go my little babies... I promise I will come again soon " I said  and ran towards the car to avoid seeing their tears .. 
I sat in the car and started driving .. Once I was far away from them I stopped the car
"How can I be soo heartless to avoid their tears , God will never forgive me for this "I said to myself
I was forced to do this I had to hide them... Be away from them just to keep them safe ... But they were too small to know this ... For once I can hurt them a little by going away from them but I can't afford to see them killed for I know HE will never stop searching for them ... And I have to protect them at whatever cost it takes.

I have been hiding them since last two years .... I kept them at a two storey house a little far from the town so that no one can find them.... Madonna took care of them in my absence and I visit them every Sundays ... Because if I go everyday some one my come to know ... And I can't let anyone know ..not even my friends whom I trusted even with my life.

I reached home by 12:30, I didnt ring the bell as I had a extra key ... I went inside ... Tia and rohan were sitting in the drawing room ...may be waiting for me...
" where were you since morning  naira??" Rohan asked me suspiciously
" no where... I mean I had some important work " I said fumbling

"What was soo important that you left without even informing us " tia said

" what are you doing here rohan", I asked changing the topic

Tia and Rohan were now giving me killing looks as I tried to avoid them and went in the kitchen ...

I calmed myslef made up a story and went outside with 3 cups of coffee
" actly I had to go to the orphanage ..there was some emergency there "
I said .
"Ohh!! ",tia said not looking convinced

I tried to change the topic and asked why was Rohan here soo late

" she knows everything" Rohan said
I chocked the coffee at his words starting to get panic
" About  what ??? " I asked stammering
" about my feeling for sayra" he said with a plain face
" why did you panicked as if there is some secret about you we are not suppose to know " tia asked being a detective
" stop being a detective tia ... There's nothing to hide " I said getting irritated
