Chapter 13

Diya

Two years ago,

I looked at the menu and was fidgety when I sat down. I have never had dinner with someone. Let alone a man. Sister Josephine warned me about this. Innocent women like me are taken in this manner. I looked around and felt chills. This place had only one entrance and exit. The server almost made me jump from my seat.

"Can you give us a moment?" 

The server nodded and left. I should have told him no. When he asked, I was shocked to respond. I nodded. He shrugged. We walked out and now we were here.

"Does this place make you uncomfortable?" I shook my head. "Then you should relax. You look like you were abducted."

"I don't think this place is cheap," I whispered.

"Don't worry about it," he leaned forward and whispered back.

"It's the middle of the month and I haven't been paid yet. Their steak costs more than my week's bus fare."

He smiled and looked at me.
