Following behind her, the bowel in my hand, I followed her into somewhere that looks like the family store room, I was trying to follow through with her pace, not trying to walk faster than her, just taking it one step at a time. As well, she shouldn't expect me to be all comfortable, having just reached here and seeing all that was going on. Since Liam has shared with me what he possibly feels like, maybe I should get more insight from Mrs Jennifer here. “ Where's he taking him, I mean Fred?....” I asked. She just turned her face, looked at my face, I expected her to just wave the question away considering the way she had just looked at me, but instead, her blank face was replaced with a smile. “ I already knew you were a curious time just by my first glance at you, you're not quite hard to read, one could tell you're that young Lady that wants to know it all....” I smiled at her confirmation, she might be right, I do want to know it all, but I feel like she's just trying to divert the question, trying to make me talk about myself instead. “ You're right, but I only ask specific questions that caught my attention like this one, the scenario that just played out, the order you gave to Liam about Fred....” I tried redirecting the question back to its rightful source and as well answering to what she just said. I can't let her cover this up, I'm really curious, but I'll make sure to avoid sounding rude. “ What can I say?, You get punished when you commit a sin, that's how the world works, what about you, when was the last time you were punished for doing something?....” Now I'm impressed. She has successfully diverted again, like she truly doesn't want to answer the question I was asking, giving me an answer indirectly, but as well not really giving me the exact answer required, on top of it, she successfully get the topic back to about me. Now this was getting interesting, without being told, I've gotten a reading, a reading about this woman by my side. She's a thinker, a smart woman, the fact I know what she was trying to do also tells me that she knows that I was not giving up, not the type that got lost in praises talking about myself, trying to impress her by telling her good stuffs about me. She showed me where to keep the broken bowel, I can as well see other damaged objects in here, inside the family store, one thing caught my attention, something that was placed in the middle like a swinging circle, it was placed on a medium height sized pole, a pointer placed on the top, signifying that it was a game, a game where you rotate the board swing with speed and watch it until one of the drawn event on the board hits the pointer area. Turning back to her to ask about the swing board, I saw that she was staring so intently at me, her stare quite uncomfortable and deep, she shouldn't stare at people this way, would get them to freak out. “ Won't you answer my question?.....” Oh God.... I almost forgot that she had asked me a question, I was lost in thought with the attractive object that took my attention away, I'm Fucking stupid, in a conversation with someone, and happens to lose concentration all of a sudden. “ I'm sorry ma'am.... I know that I'm being rude right now, but I've just forgotten what your question was, the swing board caught my attention.....” I pleaded, hoping that she understands and don't see my act as rudeness. She just smiled, the smile actually reaching her eyes, looking really genuine and not faked. It's more like she did found something funny with what I just said. “ The swing board?.... Don't worry dear, if it was the swing board, then I sure do believe you, the look can be really attractive to watch, sometimes I even see myself getting lost in the view, watching it just like you was.....” She said, Walking past me and headed towards the board, her hand on it like she was feeling them. All I just did was stand and watch what she was doing, how her actions shows the value she has for this board. “ You see Lizzy.... This board is why we're all here, it's deep rooted to our background and history, it has stayed longer than all of us, though it's kept in here, it's our most valuable of all treasures.....” “ Wow...... Want to give me more insight about it?....” I walked closer to her, standing side by side with her, staring at the wooden swing board. She then turned to look at me on the face. “ Don't worry dear, if all goes well, you'll get to listen to the full story, but for the meantime, I hope you brace up for what's to come....” She was smiling as she said those words, turning back around to walk away. I wanted to ask questions, I wanted her to clarify me more on what she meant, she should give me more details on the words she's speaking. Like she had said, I was the curious type, and everything that has been happening around me since the moment I stepped in here need to be questioned. She just said that I should wait for things to work out well before I'll get to be told about the history of the swing board she was relaying to me about, but apart from that, there's still some other questions to be asked, bothering questions running through my mind. I have though gotten some briefing from Liam, but with her being one of the oldest in this home, I believe I have to hear her own part of the story, maybe it might help clarify things better than it already was. “ About what you said to Phillips during the introduction, can you please explain better because I am really kind of confused regarding all that matter, so please, give me more insight.....”
