I feel a lot better now, this is going to be my best days of my life

My feet is not fully healed yet, but I can manage to walk out of the bedroom to find Sarah. I heard a water flowing  coming from outside. The whole house looks quite a mess maybe I clean it now but first I need to find her.

I open the door and walk outside, I pause for a minute Wow for the first time I feel peace, the sun heatens my body, moist green grass tickling my bare feet and the trees is slowly shaking because of cool breeze of wind. I close my eyes to enjoy it

"Hi there Erza! I see you feel better now" her dress is a little bit wet and she had a towel hanging on her shoulder.  She smile, Her smile makes me feel special and safe

"Yes thanks to you" I smile to her and look down "I wish I can repay you" I felt guilty, she done too much for me

"Yes I think you can repay me" I look up and she walk to me

"Stay, please " her eyes is sincere, why?

"I still can't  understand ? Why are you so nice to me?" She looked away and smile sadly

"Because when I see your eyes it reminds me of my daughter......and besides I'm all alone in this house" I looked down I don't know what to say. She's too nice

"Thank you very much " I can't help it and hug her

"I can help you ask me everything" we broke hug and she take my both hands

"Okay but for now I need you to rest and heal"

"I can help " she shake her head

"No rest  dear" she pulled one chair and she tell me to sit

"You know what dear you're the most beautiful girl I see in here, I bet when you grow up guys will go crazy when they see you" I blush at her compliment

"I'm not beautiful, my body is full of scar"

" Remember Erza, scars heal it just need time" she said looking to my eye

"But really I can help you I don't want to be burden to you"  she pause and think, her expression light up

"Okay fine, your going with me to deliver those laundries, oh I forgot to mention this is my job here in village doing laundry and deliver when it's already dry" Oh that's why her dress was wet, laundry is a hard job she's too old for this.

"Okay" the people in the village maybe their nice too like Sarah

"Let's eat breakfast first so you can take your medicine" she put her hand on my shoulder and we walk to house

----

We finished eating scramble eggs and fried rice. The medicine smells funny but it taste nothing like a water ,it's syrup and yellow it's weird because it's glowing like it has magic in it

"Mam? Why am I taking medicine? I'm okay now " I said while helping her to wash dishes

"Please call me Sarah, your taking medicine for your bruise and scar  they are very effective I'm sure it will be gone soon" she looks worried at first

"Thank you for everything" I can't describe how kind she is. We are finished to wash dishes and she look at to my oversized t - shirt

"Now let me find you some clothes, my daughter have some clothes and slipper when she was your age, I think i place it in other closet" she walk to her bedroom

"I want to show you around the village after we deliver" she back with the yellow sleeveless  dress, it reveals some of my bruise but it's healing She told me to change.

We are on our way to village, I notice that Sarah's house Is a little bit far from the village. Sarah and me are carrying bags made of fabrics. When we enter the village, people here are so busy. Some people wave and greet Sarah but they have confused faces when they see me. We walk few minutes and stop in to a two storey house it is painted in light yellow. Sarah knock three times

The door open wide,I hide behind Sarah, I'm still scared and shy. Sarah give me a confused look

"Oh Sarah it's you" she smiled to Sarah they were like close friends . She is wearing a dark blue dress

"Here is your clothes sorry  Maggie it takes a little longer " she give the bag to Maggie, Sarah and Maggie maybe have a same age

She notice me and smile to Sarah

"Hey Sarah you didn't tell me you're here with somebody, who is she?"Sarah look down to me and pulled my hand

"Oh this is Erza, Erza this is Maggie" she introduce me to her Maggie smile to me and wave

"Hi Erza, wow she is so pretty Sarah her skin is so beautiful" I blushed and I just look to Sarah

"I know right " she proudly say to Maggie she look at me and mouthed 'told you'

"Sarah wait here I'm going to get money to pay you" she turned around leaving the door open, the house looks very beautiful in inside the floors is made of white tiles and everything looks expensive

"And there you go, Sarah and you Erza do you wanna drink some coffe or eat anything?"Sarah first look at me and shake head in response to Maggie's offer. Sarah maybe sense that I feel scared in other people

"Is she your grand daughter? So pretty"  Maggie kneel down to see me .Sarah's expression change, she seems uneasy

"I'm sorry Maggie, but we really need to go before night, maybe we can talk in other day" she really looks uncomfortable, I just hide behind her

"My, my you never change Sarah you are always in a hurry, fine but promise me that you will visit me soon, bye Sarah and pretty Erza" she waved to Sarah and to me

----

We walk a little more longer and deliver laundry as usual I hide behind Sarah and people are asking about me but Sarah  keep ignoring them

"I have something to show you " She smiled and hold my hand
