Chapter 3 Where is she?

Along Ladhies Road, Natasha pulled her luggage as she wiped her tears.

She closed her eyes, then opened them and when she looked at the back ,she saw Kenny's car, while away.

"Am I just seeing my own things?" she whispered to herself.

Natasha thought that she had loved Kenny so much that she was looking at his car while he was busy taking care of Sophia, the girl he loved.

If that was the price she had to pay for loving someone, then she had to pay for it.

Natasha did not regret loving Kenny. The only thing that she regretted was allowing him to use her blood to save his girlfriend, although she was not aware of it.

Thinking about the two years, the whole two years she had lived with him, Natasha realized that time was not a factor in determining whether someone loved her or not.

Natasha felt her head was hurting and her legs were running out of energy.

She sat down on a stone by the side of the road as she wept bitterly.

She clearly recalled the first day she saw Kenny.

It was on a rainy day and she was coming from school.

It started raining heavily and she ran towards a building so that she could shelter herself before the rain ended.

The rain did not show any signs of coming to stop and it was getting dark.

Natasha decided to take off her sweater and cover her head with it so that she could go home.

"Stop it," she heard a voice.

Looking in the direction of the voice, she saw a very handsome guy with an umbrella in his hands.

"Take this," the man said as he handed the umbrella to her.

"What about you?" she asked, worried that he would get rained on if she took his umbrella.

"You need it more than I do," the man said to her.

Natasha accepted the umbrella," Thank you very much handsome," she said shyly as she quickly left the place.

When she arrived home, she could not help smiling when she thought about that man.

He had only given an umbrella to her, yet she felt as if he had done something very big and important to her.

She had kept the umbrella so we were thinking that she would return it to the man, but she never met him again.

It was only almost seven years later that he met him again under circumstances that she could not have thought of.

She could clearly recognize him but she was not sure if he had forgotten about her or not.

As Natasha was still deep in thought, she felt someone tapping her on the shoulders.

"Dr June?"

"Natasha?" Dr June spoke.

"What are you doing here?" Natasha asked.

She tried as much as possible to act natural so that June could not realize that she was crying.

"I was just heading home from the hospital and I saw someone sitting at the side of the road and I decided to have a look, not knowing that it was you," Dr June quickly responded.

"Ooo..mmh.." Natasha did not know what to say.

Dr June cleared his throat then said," What happened to you? Why are you sitting here with your luggage?"

"Nothing, I was...I was going home and am just waiting for a cab," she said.

"But you can't get a cabin in this place," Dr June said.

Natasha realized that it was true that she could not get a cab at that place since it belonged to very wealthy figures in the city and those people used their own expensive cars.

"Oh, I had forgotten about that," she quickly said.

"It's okay,can I drop you?" he asked .

"There is no need to bother yourself,I'll just sort myself," she responded.

Natasha was surprised to realize that tears were flowing down her eyes.

"Natasha, is anything the problem? Can you talk to me please? If you don't mind," he said.

Natasha wiped her tears while shaking her head.

Dr June knew exactly what had happened. It was only that he didn't want her to know the relationship between him and Kenny.

"I can't go back to him," she said in between sobs.

"Who are you talking about?"

"My husband,we divorced," she said.

"Everything will be okay,let me take you somewhere so that you can rest," Dr June said as he helped her up.

He carried her luggage and walked towards the car as she walked behind him.

She did not know where he was taking her, but she just wanted to go somewhere, freshen up and get a good rest so that she could forget about everything that happened.

Dr June placed the luggage in the car trunk before opening the front passenger seat for her.

After she sat down,he helped her fasten the safety belt, then stepped on the accelerator and sped away.

"You don't have to cry Natasha, everything will fall in place," Dr June advised.

Natasha nodded her head in agreement.

She knew that she would be okay with time.

After fifteen minutes,the car was parked outside a small apartment.

Dr June carried her luggage and led her towards the house.

"Natasha,this house belongs to my brother but he is in another country for work. You can stay here for sometime as you think about what to do next," Dr June said.

Natasha could not stop her tears from falling," Thanks very much Dr June and am very sorry for bothering you."

"I'm very happy to be of help, and you are not bothering me at all, Natasha," he said.

Dr June showed her around the room and placed her luggage in the guest room.

After a few minutes, someone knocked at the door and Dr June went to open it.

A delivery man handed a bag to him, then he took some cash from his pocket before handing it to the delivery man.

"Natasha, I ordered some food for you. Make sure you eat before you sleep. I'm going back to my home and if you need anything don't hesitate to call me," Dr June said.

"I can't stop thanking you, Dr June," she was grateful to him.

"It's okay," Dr June said as he closed the door behind him and left the place.

Once he got inside his car, he took his phone and sent a message to Kenny.

June: She is okay.

Kenny quickly responded to the message.

Kenny: Thanks much bro.

Dr June smiled before driving away.
