Chapter59.
Riya, please do you have your mom's number?".
I asked her since I forgot my phone back at home.
She looked away and kept me without a response.
"Wow, you're just too much Riya" I frowned upon turning my gaze away.
we have got to find a safe place to be for today since the day has already gone.
My eyes wandered away, spotting a little cottage a few blocks from where we stood, it was the only solution Riya and I had.
We went to the cottage, I knocked and an elderly woman comes out.
" Who are you?".
The woman brings out a loaded gun.
I pulled Riya behind.
"Hello ma'am, good evening, I don't know how to say this, but our car broke down and we checked everywhere for help, but all to no avail, so my wife and I was hopeful that you can help us stay in for tonight, then tomorrow morning, we will be on our way!".
I smiled while explaining
The old lady sprouts a cautious look at us, especially Riya who was about to give it away that, we weren't married to each other.
After a long scan, she lets us in and ushered us to her visitor's room, Riya soared her eyes round before, receding her words to me.
"Can you kindly explain, what the heck you said, a while ago? Who is married to whom? Huh!". A funny look draped over her face, smurding a weak smile on mine, "aww! Don't worry sweetheart, it was only a way to obtain a roof over our heads, so don't worry that little brain of yours!".
I veered back to leave but halted when I noticed she held me back, " little brain of mine? See who's talking, the same person who keeps pretending, he doesn't feel anything nor get influenced by anyone, why don't you tell me! Mr. Salem Baltimore, who are you?".
I gently pulled my hands from her, as she fiddles for my response, "your highness, I am waiting?" She said to me.
"Waiting for what? I don't think I have any explanation for you and if you're still mad because of my words the other time, then be my guest and keep acting like a child".
I smirked and left her startled.
I know that I keep hurting Riya, however, it is the only way to keep her safe.
THE FOLLOWING DAY
I couldn't get myself to sleep, Riya gets up from bed thereafter.
"Good morning" she greets and walked into the bathroom, I glued my eyes and wondered, what's going on with her, did my words hurt her to a point that, her greetings to me, was as cold as ice.
A few hours later, we both walked down and thanked the old lady for her aid to us, we went out and thankfully got a taxi to take us home.
