It was after breakfast that she was lost in her mind again.
Thinking about the dream that she had. Her mind was too occupied by the series of dreams that kept crossing her sleep.What was the purpose of the random dreams in her life? Of all the people she has ever seen in her life, those people didn't resemble anyone. Who were those people? And why was she watching them?Why doesn't anyone else gets to see them?Murphy sat by the window, noticing the trees dancing at the notes of the wind.She felt tired of all the thoughts swarming in her head.It had been long that she had been happy.She shook her head and tried to let go of the memories and focus on better things around, as it was getting harder for her to keep up the serieIt was Sam who was cutting his birthday cake and laughing heartfully. She stood there looking at his lively laughter and playfully admiring all the arrangements done for him.Deep inside she was feeling hollow, deserted, lost, like a cut kite falling away with the wind.She was loving how Sam was enjoying his big day and left bad to be not able to stand by him like she always could, her mind was filled with the secrets they were keeping them from her.Sam guessed the lost mind for hers, and tried to bring her around by pasting whipped cream on her nose, the gleam in his eyes was the same as he would always have after getting her annoyed.She could no longer keep herself back, she went to grab a piece of cake and stuffed it in his mouth, meanwhile, Nanny was smiling
She took her hand and spoke in a low concerned voice,“Daughter, I see that your dreams are going heavy on you”,she was trying to mask her panic by controlling her nerves,
“Good morning”, Sam came in to join Murphy on breakfast, “how was the night? Got to sleep well?”He made a place for himself next to her on the table, meanwhile, Nanny was getting toasts done and serving them freshly.“Morning. . . A restful one it was”, she smiled back and said shortly.She thought about the dream that she had last night, but she couldn’t remember it clearly like she used to remember the other one she had.She could recall a vague picture of an injured man and someone talking to him about serious issues, she tried harder to recall the dream, but she couldn’t, it was a diffuse though that kept her mind occupied as she tried to remember it, it was too unclear for her make any sense out of it.“Murph?. . .”, Sam interrupted, “you are playing with your food and haven’t tasted it yet. . . You are lost somewhere. . .Everything is fine?”Murphy was suddenly pulled back from her deep dive into her thoughts, and she realized that she was playing with her omelet, while Sam look
Murphy put on the best of the attires she had, she dived into her closet looking for something else to complete the look, there she pulled out a jacket and wore over on it. Looking at herself in the mirror, the perfect look it seemed to her.Inside her head, she was constantly thinking of the possible questions which could be asked in the interview, and the most awestruck answers to them, which would possibly make them accept her for the job.She was too overridden with joy and kept looking at the advertisement over her dressing table in hope, hoping that it will bring a ray of hope in their lives and they will finally be able to earn their living and treat their Nanny as well. She went out to see if Sam was doing good with his preparation or has he worn a costume for his acting day.She opened the door to find Sam and to meet her disbelief, Sam was already ready and sitting on the sofa waiting for her to come out.He was wearing his all-time favorite navy blue waist coast with his d
Both of them stood frozen at the sight of the brigands holding them firmly hindered to make any possible movement, as tried hard to push them away but their grip was way too strong for them to push off.Murphy was looking at Sam having panic in her eyes.Sam tried loosening his grip off him, pushing and pulling himself, he could just make it to free his mouth off the brigand's hands, while his arms still pinned to his back."What do you want?", Sam shouted out at them, he was now breathing heavily with the fruitless efforts which didn't seem to work against the firm grasp of them."No one is allowed past these lands", the man behind Sam hissed in his ear, as if there was a snake under the turban, his voice was creepy enough, "now, it's that you have passed the limits, you gotta pay for that"."..., dearly", The man behind Murphy added.They laughed wickedly at them, their voices seemed to be filled with joy to have them caught, they seemed up to no good."HELLLPPP!", Murphy screamed in
“May I ask the reason behind your presence here?”, she asked softly, raising her brow looking straightly into her eyes.Sam breathed in heavily while mustering up his courage, he took a brave step forward towards her, and spoke in a tough and loud voice, “We are here in the response to an advertisement being issued by the Muse
“We can appreciate the museum later when we will go on a long walk here, and we are really out of time, so can we do the essentials first?”, she spoke in an impatient voice as she was looking at Murphy with a stern gaze, trying to make her believe the gravity of time.Murphy was still lost in her mind while looking at her aimlessly, it was when Sam took her by arm gently and whispered in her ear to get up so that we can do the paperwork and leave, “Get up Murphy, we need to get things done and leave soon, Nanny will be waiting, it has gone too late for us already, we will come back here and see the rest”.Sam sat in front of her blocking her from the view of the crew gazing at her and impatiently waiting for her to get up, Sam didn't want anyone
. . . . .The journey through the uncertainty was finally through, but a few more uncertainties were yet to be met or entertained.Having got the wish of job fulfilled, with the perk of living with her Nanny for the rest of her life, no more wandering around the land to land, they had finally found a home.But something kept Murphy worried, she couldn't appreciate that herself even.Maybe the past events have left some gaps in her mind that kept on filling with random stuff and kept her from keeping sound for long. She wanted everything to be fine again, though there wasn't anything fine in her life since her pathetic birth.They were being dropped by the high alert security in front of their home, and they were informed to be provided with f
