We stopped by at the market square side, Caro now seems to be deep into sleep, at first it looks just like she was having a little nap or rest. I can see the way Williams was staring into the market through the side door window, he was stretching, going down, moving to the side as if he was looking for something. “ I think I should go in there and grab somethings Ember, wait here with my wife a little bit ”. He got down from the Van and headed into the market, a lot of things were different here that I have decided to get my mind off it, thinking about it just gets me into a dead end and now I just felt like I have to live with whatever I see, no need to bother confusing myself about my environment, as the saying goes, no one knows what's inside the land of the dead, by what I have seen, it doesn't look like I am living a life for the dead, instead it feels more like I was transferred from one location to another where most things look exactly the same or whatever, I don't want to bother thinking about this. There's a tape recorder on top of a small box before us, the box looks attractive to touch, but I can't just go on touching things that doesn't belong to me, all I just did was take the tape on top of the box and slide it into the tape player, at least I can just listen to anything until his return. “ That's the first song we wrote together....”, I was taken aback hearing her voice behind me, I immediately turned off the player realizing that I just woke her from sleep. “ I'm sorry Caro, I almost forgot you were asleep beside me...”, I apologized, “ Don't worry Ember, I'm not mad about that, actually that's my favorite too, I have listened to it more than I can ever remember but still, I can't get enough of it, still feeling that fire inside of me whenever it plays ”, she said, wearing a wide smile on her face. She requested that I play it that it wasn't disturbing her sleep in anyway, more like she even likes the lyrics of the song as she sleeps, the song wasn't a bad one though, it was relaxing and calming as she said, though it wasn't more like the songs I have listened to from where I came from, but the song was touching and emotional. I have listened to blues, different kind of blues, but this one was new, new to my ears. I have dreamed of myself becoming a musician, I have tried living and acting like a musician, following things I knew about them, having music close to me, more like it was the only friend I can afford, but we all know how sh**ty I have been living, alone and in silence. The side door opened, it was Williams standing down there, he climbed onto the car, dropped the tied up water proof on my legs and asked me to take them back into the car and try it on. He got me clothes, he stopped here just to get me clothes, I guess he didn't just like me putting on the uniform only. “ Thanks ”, I thanked him for his effort as I take the tied up bag to the back where was actually their home. I'm really impressed by the colors he got me, I never told him I loved black, but most of the few clothes he got were black, they're just five pieces of gown, the doesn't look expensive though, but they look classy, just like the attire Caro was putting on, three of them were black, one was white and the last was just a flower designed gown with nothing but flower colors, a flower gown I would say. I thanked him again when I came back to the front of the car, sitting right next to Caro, my normal position before I went back there. “ How do you see it?....”, he asked, turning to see the expression I was putting on, I don't know actually, but his face was turned towards me and he's looking right into my eyes, they all was a nice fit, I appreciate his efforts and guess, I never knew he might have been looking at me all this while to know my size of clothing. “ There's a good that I have to deliver right now, we should finish up and be on the way....”, he said as we were offered the food he also got from the market, that's really nice of him. I don't know the plan he or Caro has for me, they're not treating me as a stranger, more like they have accepted my company, having lived such a Life growing up, I mean Williams, he definitely finds it comfortable having anyone around because that's how life was when he lived on the streets. I haven't gotten to know their business though and I never asked, Caro talked about the music they made together, they don't look much like musicians to me because they're quite poor looking, pop stars back from wherever I came from, musicians are kind of blessed with riches, they're famous but I don't just have to jump to conclusions for something I know nothing about, just have to throw away all this unreasonable thoughts and focus on my new Life. We were standing in front of the house we have come to deliver the goods Williams spoke of, he was carrying a package and I decided to go with him, Caro was inside the van while we stood here. After knocking for a few seconds, or almost a minute I think, the door opened and I looked to see who we came for. “ Auntie Margaret!”.
