After walking away from that guy, I looked back on where he is standing. And I found no Ash Ron looking at me. So, he walked away too. Good thing!
I was walking at the street when I suddenly saw a boutique shop, I saw a red dress wear by the mannequin being displayed.
I was attracted by it,, so I walk towards the shop and enter.
" Hi Miss Welcome, what can I help you? "
The sale lady smiled at me as she is waiting for my answer.
" Well, can I fit the red dress that the mannequin wear? " I point to the mannequin that being displayed.
" Sure, Miss, come with me. " The sales lady replied as she walked towards the stockroom and get a dress that I wanted to buy. She gave it to me and assist me towards the dressing room at the corner.
I enter the Cr and put my wallet and phone above a cabinet. I look in a mirror and see my reflection, I love the dress because it's suit me well. Furthermore, I unzip the back and wear it.
I grab my phone and take a picture of myself as I undress myself and buy this dress. After a minute, I get out in the dressing room with a smile on my face. When I was about to give my credit card to the cashier, my eyes catch the attention of an orange silky dress being hanging on the corner of the room. I walk towards it and give it to the cashier.
" Add this please " I said as I give my credit card from my wallet.
" Here Ma'am, thank you for coming ! " The cashier said as he handed me the paper bag to me.
I walk away with two paper bags in my arm. I put my wireless earphone in my ears and played music.
I was nearly forgotten to all Mr. Sam, our person butler / driver, to pick me up today because I'm too lazy to commute or walk towards our village.
I dialed Mr. Sam's number after the second ring, he already pick it up and speak.
" I'm at Lily's Fashion Shop nearby the village, can you pick me up? " I said as I looked at the clock.
It's still 11 in the morning after I hung up the call. I saw a child playing alone in the park beside the street where I was standing.
She is alone playing, and the little girl seems so sad because it's written on her cute face.
While waiting, I decided to approach the girl. I start to walk towards her as she noticed it that someone is coming to her direction, she immediately lifted her head as she looked at me.
" Hey little girl, why are you alone here? Where's your mom? Or sister? " I said as I give her the sandwich and lemon juice I take out back when I was at the coffee shop either.
" Thank you ate, Hmm, I actually ran away because my mother won't let me go in here. I want to play with other children and have friends. " She honestly said to me as she smiled and handed me her hand and said.
" Amelia Kelsey ate, what's your name? " She said.
" I'm El Del Acosta, you can call me El for short. " And accept her hand as I handshake it.
" You're the daughter of Lady Coleen Acosta? The heir of Acosta Village and Acosta Group of Company Inc. " She said as she jumped and clap her hands.
" Yes, wait--- what ... How did you know, Mel? Can I call you Mel for short, it's that okay with you? " I ask.
" Sure Ate El, you're so pretty like me po. "
She complimented.
" Mel, How did you know about our company? Who told you about that such information? " I ask once again as I sit beside her while she is busy eating and drinking the juice I give.
" My mom told me she is your mother's friend. There's a time that your mother was still working in your family's company. My mom brought me with her as my mom give the prepared lunch as a peace offering to your mother. " Mel said.
" Wow , amazing you have a long memory. "
I reply.
" Peace offering for what? Why? I'm curious about it. " I added .
" Actually ate El, on your mother birthday last year we can not attend it because I was sick that time, so my mother take good care of me. I finally able meet you ate. " Amelia said.
" It's a pleasure to meet you too. Let's go home, Mel. Our butler will pick me up later on. I'll walk you home. " I speak.
" Really? Thank you, ate. Our house was 5 blocks distance from your house po! He-he"
She replied.
" I wasn't able to saw you at once going out. This is your first time? Do you have friends at the village? Why you choose here, Mel. It's dangerous for you to go out alone, tell your mother if you wanted to go here again and say sorry once we reach your home, okay? " I open up.
"I don't have friends Ate El, I'm always inside the house in my room po. Because I'm home school also, my mom won't let me go out for me not to be sick again. " She said as she looked down on her feet.
Every so often I noticed the way the neighborhood kids avoided Mel. She is at the corner sitting and looking at those kinds playing in the village playground.
" Our Neighborhood kids don't like me. They want to avoid being their friend. " She said as she looked up at me because I'm taller than her.
" It's not true, Mel, if no want to be your friend. I'll be your friend then. " I said as I smiled at her and grab her hand.
" Let's go, Mr. Sam is already here. We're going home. " I said and let her go inside the car before I followed.
Mr. Sam start the engine and drive us towards the village, after a minute we arrive in front of our house. I open the door and walk out because I close the door I suddenly speak.
" Mr. Sam can you drop me at home and wait for me, I'll be back after a minute? " I said as I closed it and walk inside home.
As I enter the house, I smell the delicious food from the kitchen. I walk towards there. My mom was in the kitchen cooking a dish for dinner. She is wearing an apron, and she didn't notice my presence because she is busy mixing it the ingredients.
Mom was about to grab the plate with the smashed tomatoes when I grab it and handed it to her because it was near me where I stand as I looked at her back.
She turned around and notice me finally. She smiled and get the plate in my hand and said.
" You'll early today. What bring you here, El. " My mom ask.
" I saw Amelia, she's your friend's daughter, I would like to walk her home mom. " I said.
"Is that so? Go on, just make sure to be here after an hour okay? Say hi for me to Alyssa.
We will dinner together. " She said, and focus again as she continues to cook.
" Sure Mom, be right back after an hour. " I replied and walk towards the car.
I walk back to the car and enter. As I close the door, Mr. Sam start the engine and drive.

Amelia's House **
We arrive at Amelia's House with is so familiar to me , I remember back when I was 3 years old. We always visit here and I'm always at their garden as I remember. I was 15 that time when I first come here. Wait as I remember there's ----- .
I wasn't able to finish my thoughts asking my self from a missing that I notice when there's a white puppy running from our direction. I wad left my q question in my head as I decided to ask Ms. Alyssa , Amelia's mother.
" Moshi! Come here " Amelia shout as she called the attention of the white puppy followed by a white and black dog.
" Goodnight Mel, " I said and kiss her cheeks before I walk back towards the car and enter.
After a view minutes after I drop Amelia at their home. I was staring at the window of the car as Mr. Sam drive me home. The car was covered by silence , I was looking at those people who was walking with friends or some of them are with their lovers / boyfriend.
I look at my phone and saw my phone lockscreen it was back when we celebrate our 3rd Anniversary , we are both wearing a
a graduation outfit those are the moment that I was having pictorial . I can't help but to miss Lucas. But he's a jerk he deserve not to be loved. Damn him.
I look at my phone once more and go to my library where I saw our bunch of photos in my albums . I have 4 albums with 8k plus pictures / memories of him. I can say I was blinded by love and I wasn't able to see that the man I loved was creating on me. Traitor!
I selected all the albums and didn't hesitate to delete it in my phone. I look at the picture when I was at the hotel wearing a casual attire as I attend a meeting in our company. I selected it and make it as a wallpaper , maybe I need to learn to love my self before others. Damn love it's hurt!
I was busy scrolling to my social medias deleting albums with my ex especially my status back to single again. I exhale and off my phone after .
" El , where home. " He said.
" You should eat dinner already it's getting late. " Mr. Sam added.
" Okay , thanks " I replied as I open the door and walk out.

When I arrive home , I saw my mother sitting in the coach. She suddenly stand up as she see me .
I walk towards her and kiss her cheeks and said.
" Let's eat mom , "
" Sure. "
After we eat our dinner , I go directly to my room and change my clothes into pajama. I comb my hair and lay in bed. Scrolling through my cellphone waiting to get sleepy . I received a message from Ash Ron saying.
Date me tomorrow as a payment . In Restaurant Hubert @ 7 PM , no need to call Mr. Sam because I'll drive you home after. See you and Goodnight El.
I didn't reply at him because I'm annoyed by his message. I close my eyes as a fall asleep..
