Caring House was a number of buildings situated in a huge area near the farmer village. “Wow…” Lila’s eyes lit. “This is a hospital building.” Andrew told Lila, he kept on driving passed the medium sized building then parked the car in the parking lot behind the building. Lila stepped out of the car as soon as Andrew pulled it into a complete stop and killed the engine. She didn’t know that Andrew was narrowing his eyes at her as he couldn’t do his old gentleman habit because she was busy admiring the scene before her eyes. “And there is where the elders live.” He continued. Behind the hospital building, on the right side was two rows of back to back twin small houses, one row consisted of ten twin houses. On the left side was a garden filled with many kinds of bonsai and stood in the middle was a fountain. “Come, they’re all must be prepared to have lunch. We’ll greet them briefly, then we can have our lunch in the staff’s cafeteria.”

Entering the café with a stray kitten in her arms, Lila looked around to find a secluded spot to sit with the kitten, so she didn’t disturb the other customer. Although Lila didn’t have to do that since the café was empty but the man who was lowering his hat to cover his face sitting on the other corner. Walking straight, Lila ordered. “I want strawberry juice, a glass of milk, ice tea, and a glass of warm water…” She paused, looking at the food display. “That tuna panini too.” The waiter nodded, taking Lila’s card. “You want to give the milk for the kitten? You don’t know that kittens are lactose intolerant?” Lila smiled then replied. “I do. And I also know that diluting it isn’t good either.” “Oh…” The waiter’s face looked relief, he quickly processed Lila’s order. “I’ll bring your orders to your table.” Lila took her card back from him. “Thanks.” Soon, the waiter came with Lila’s order then put them all on the table while Lila and t

Lila stared at her reflection in the mirror. She was admiring her dress. It fitted perfectly on her, the fabric was soft and the most important was the price didn’t make her wallet cried. Nodding at her reflection, she was ready to go, then went downstairs immediately. Uncle Malcom as the University’s President, choosing not to attend the gala, he watched tv drama with Aunt Becky. The kitten was sleeping on Aunt Becky’s lap. “I’m leaving. Take care of my baby.” Said Lila as she walked by the sitting room. “You better give it a name.” Uncle Malcom voiced his irritation. His tired tone made Lila giggled. Last night when Lila got home, Aunt Becky welcomed her. Lila showed the kitten in the carrier then told her. “I’m adopting this baby.” Aunt Becky smiled brilliantly, taking the carrier. While Uncle Malcom who was sitting with his back facing the front door, choked and threw a fit cough after hearing what Lila had said, thinking L

The air around Lila’s fist and Professor Gustav’s face stormed sharply. It felt suffocating to Professor Gustav. He finally saw the punch coming, but too shock to make a move. He never thought, the obedient girl he knew all these years could do this kind of blow. Closing his eyes, waiting for the punch to come, he didn’t realize that the storm had stopped and the suffocating air dropped suddenly. Andrew’s large palm held Lila’s punch just an inch from Professor Gustav’s nose. “Don’t!” Andrew shook his head, gazing into Lila’s eyes. “Not worth it.” Few seconds Andrew endured Lila’s deadly glare while still holding her fist. “What are you doing here?” Lila hissed through her teeth, jerking her fist free from Andrew’s grasp. “Saving you…” Having his sense back as the still and silent surrounding assured him that Lila’s punch was aborted, Professor Gustav opened his eyes and blinked few times to calm his shaking nerves.
